JULY 22, 2004

Councilperson Kenyon commended Supervisor Hammond for his bravery at the County. Supervisor Hammond asked the County to look at requests for proposals for the privatization of the county's recycling program. He presented the request to the Board of Supervisors prior to passing it before the committee first. The resolution introduced asked that a special committee be formed of him and other interested supervisors in an effort to find a more cost-effective approach to collecting and processing recyclable.

Councilperson Ken Nawrocki has reviewed the insurance policies and will contact carrier to confirm the Town is not double covered on the contents in the Library.

A lengthy discussion followed on the Police. Attorney Anthony Villani stated that the Village voted to dissolve the Police Department. A local law is required with a 30-day permissive referendum. The Attorney felt there should be no dialog until the 30-day period is up. The Town Board discussed their options.

    1. The Board can create the Police Department by resolution. In forming the department a Chief would have to be appointed at that time. Then on the November ballot a proposition to house the department could be voted on by the entire Town if the Village's permissive referendum passes.
    2. Submit the proposition to house a police department and then pass a resolution to establish the department.
    3. Submit a proposition that includes both the creation and the housing of the department.

For the record Supervisor Hammond stated that he felt it best to put both the creation and housing up for a vote. Mr. Hammond feels the residents should have a say and not left out.

Councilperson Maul stated that he is on the record that he would prefer to create the Police Department independently from the referendum to house the Police Department. This is different because we are not creating a Police Department from scratch, just changing the governance of the Police Department from one municipality to the larger municipality so that the tax rate would be more fairly spread. We already have a Police Department.

RESOLUTION NO. 174 (04) MEETING DATE RESCHEDULED
