OGDENSBURG – Ogdensburg City Council has hired a new recreation director, codes officer and assessor.
Additionally, the city promoted Nicole Woods, formerly a Housing Inspector, to the position of Code Officer.
“The City of Ogdensburg is excited to have these individuals join the city workforce and we look forward to talent and experience each of them bring to the community. Since assuming responsibility for the city in January 2020, Mayor Jeffrey M. Skelly has worked tirelessly to transition city government to a smaller, more cost effective and results driven organization. The addition of these three individuals to these important positions furthers that goal and continues the strong work of ensuring the survival of the city while working equally as hard on the revival of the city,” City Manager Stephen Jellie said in a prepared statement.

7 News fact check: Ogdensburgâs city attorney payment & attendance at council meetings City of Ogdensburg (Source: WWNY) By Jeff Cole | May 18, 2021 at 3:59 PM EDT - Updated May 18 at 3:59 PM
OGDENSBURG, N.Y. (WWNY) - We did some fact checking on a story we did Monday about Ogdensburg and how its city attorney gets paid.
The issue most recently came up as city council debates spending money to open a beach.
In our story Monday, there were 2 viewpoints from council members: that the city lawyer is on retainer and it wouldnât cost anything to have the lawyer at council meetings versus the lawyer is paid when called upon and, by not having the lawyer at the city council meetings, itâs saving the city money.

OGDENSBURG – A resolution that would have allowed the city manager to execute a lease with the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority failed to pass Monday.
Ogdensburg City Councilors Dan Skamperle, Michael Powers and Nichole Kennedy voted against the leasing the property citing a lack of information regarding the total cost and concerns over spending.
Deputy Mayor John Rishe urged his fellow councilors to support the measure as the city recently unanimously passed a resolution supporting opening the beach in July.
Last week officials met with the OBPA to make a proposal to lease the beach area for a total cost of $3,000. The lease deal would run from July to September.
