MARCH 14, 2002

    Supervisor Hammond – Macedon residents may not be first to use the facility or even
    Wayne County residents.  There will be an impact on services.

    Councilperson Maul – This project has been in front of one or more boards, and the
    last meeting was the initial mention of a PILOT.  If the Board had known up front it
    would it have saved time.

ROUND TABLE
    Judy Gravino, Town Clerk reported that she was proceeding on the records inventory
    to comply with the grant.  Scott Allen and the Clerk worked most of Thursday
    collecting files and maps left in the barn.

    Councilperson Collins – The Library met last week to go over details on the plan.  The
    grading plan at 30 Main Street was basically done.  The Highway Department will be
    done by early next week with the rough grading.  Material from the hill was used to
    save money.  He is in the process of completing a grant application due by April 1 for
    the Bullis Foundation.

    Councilperson Maul – The Village Dissolution Committee met on March 4, 2002.
    These minutes are now available on the Town’s web site.  He suggested the Town look
    into alternatives to a web site due to residents having accessing problems.
