An Eagle Scout Project was submitted for Brian Agness.  His goal is to rehabilitate Bullis Park by improving the tennis court conditions, soccer field and create a bulletin board for the Macedon Recreation Sports Program.  The tennis court improvements would include the purchase and installation of a new tennis net with windscreens and building new benches.  New benches would also be built for the upper and lower soccer fields.  The proposed bulletin board would be made of corkboard and a plastic screen to protect the posted papers from weather.  Brian will submit cost estimates and work closely with Supervisor Hammond.  It was the consensus of the Town Board to support the project.

Scott Allen was contacted by Assemblyman Oaks regarding the grant the Town of Macedon will be receiving for GIS from NYS Archives in the amount of $72,000.  The Town hired Clough Harbor to write the grant for $1,500 and received $72,000.  Scott believes the Town was successful because of the commitment the Board has made by including a budgeted line item for this.  The grant will allow for such items as hardware, software, training and posting on the web.

 

Town Engineer Allen reported the cameras have been through the sewer line from Micelli’s Restaurant to Mobile Tech.  This line needs to be completely replaced.  The current pipe is asbestos concrete and a new pipe needs to be  installed parallel to the existing one without disturbing it.  There is seepage from groundwater and a possibility of caving in. The engineering cost from start to finish is proposed at $72,000.  In the long term replacing this will save the Town money.  The Town is waiting on a third party opinion from Clough Harbor on the emergency status.  Mr. Allen suggested renting the camera for a day once a year to review the status of the sewers.

 

RESOLUTION NO. 162 (07) SANITARY SEWER WORK AUTHORIZATION – CLOUGH HARBOUR

RESOLVED the Town Board authorizes the Supervisor to sign the contract with Clough Harbour & Assoc. Extra Work Authorization No. 7 Replacement of Sanitary Sewer from Mobile Tech Center East to Micelli’s Restaurant CHA Project No.: 14254 for the amount of $71,500.
