DISCUSSION

March is Red Cross Month and the Town is flying the Red Cross Flag.

Gananda Schools would like our Highway Department to take care of the snow plowing at Richard Mann School and the High School. This would affect the Town’s decision on the purchase of a tractor and also the need to hire a year round maintenance person. Dick Roets will talk to Tom Cox from Gananda Schools and get figures on what the cost would be.

The Trails Committee would like to purchase a mower for the trails. The Trails Committee had a balance of $900.00 left from the previous years budget. The Board has authorized the Supervisor to take care of this matter.

CORRESPONDENCE

Letter from Hill Cumorah Pageant Cast Cummunity Service Team. The cast teams will be available July 13-15, 2004 for community service jobs. We need to come up with some jobs for them. They have also done a wonderful job for the Town.

 

The Providence Housing Development Corporation was present and discussed the proposed rental housing project Hickey Commons. The proposed project would be built behind the Macedon Post Office. It would consist of 3 buildings-one and two story. The complex would have a community room and laundry facility. Rental assistance from Rural Housing Services and the State Division of Housing and Community Renewal will be available for all units which means tenants pay only 30% of their income for rent, making apartments very affordable.All tenants would have a police background and credit check before renting. They requested a letter of support to send with their application to USDA and the State.

It was the concensus of the Board that they did not have enough understanding of how the finances worked and if it can sustain itself. Therefore the Board was unwilling to send a letter at this time. They did request a copy of a Market Study so they can review it for future discussion.

The Fire Security System Contract with Simplex Grinnell is coming to its one year anniversary and will need to be renewed or find another contractor. The Board has asked Bill to have the new contract with them reviewed by NYMIR and then come back to the Board.

ROUNDTABLE

David Maul stated that he and Bill Hammond met with Ken Schreiber, Mayor Hoteling and Chief Ellis concerning police budget. The Town will be paying 75% of actual charges and David requested that we do this retroactive to January 1st. The Town will pay for expenses incurred over and above the budget only if ok’d by Town Board. The Town will require a report every month on expenses. The Town Board also requests an Adendum be added to the Police Contract per the agreement.

David requested that Bill ask for a J peg file for our website on the Macedon Flag.

He also had concerns on mileage and feels perhaps we could consolidate trips to bank and post office.

David McEwen asked that Town check into glass coverage for the Town Highway vehicles. He also discussed the Bullis Room humidity problem. The system has now been recalibrated and reads between 45 and 47. The scensor needs to be put in return air to solve problem the cost will be about $600.00. We also need to look into specs on windows. Dave has built a platform for the Map Room for a counter top.
