CORRESPONDENCE
– The Supervisor presented the following:
1. Letters from Assemblyman Oaks and Senator Nozzolio supporting Supervisor Hammond’s views on Bill No. A.3483.
2.
It
was the consensus of the Board to advise Home Properties that the Town is in receipt
of their version of March 27, 2003 meeting and that the Town Clerk’s minutes
are the official transcript of the proceedings.
Councilperson
Kenyon suggested a thank you letter be sent to Steve Walters for the use of his
facility and accommodations after our fire.
It
was felt that Bullis Park would not be a secure area to construct a storage
shed to store recreation equipment. The
Board discussed the possibility of locating it at the Highway Garage.
It
was the consensus of the Board not to allow the Recreation Director to use
Bullis Park for a backup field for a rugby tournament.
The
Supervisor suggested the Board break long enough to give a tour of the new Town
Hall. All agreed that the Board should
be very proud of their accomplishment.
Councilperson
Collins consulted Stu Brown regarding the Small Cities Grant. The Town is too big to qualify.
Councilperson
Maul reviewed his progress with networking the computers in the Town Hall.
Highway
Superintendent Richard Roets and Supervisor William Hammond met with Emergency
Management on Tuesday regarding the ice storm.
The Town will be notified early next week if any aid will be
received. The Town, State and County
will pick up storm damage at the roadside.
Councilperson
Kenyon stated that the town is low on emergency shelter. The Town needs a generator to allow the Red
Cross a distribution site. The new Town
Hall has been built with a manual shutoff to allow the connection of a
generator that will run both buildings.
The cost estimate for a generator is $18,700. The Board will look into.
RESOLUTION
NO. 114 (03) DEPARTMENT REQUESTS
RESOLVED
the Board authorizes the Supervisor to expend up to $1,300 to purchase
equipment as outlined in requests submitted to the Supervisor to be expensed
