Ken Hammond, Macedon Center Fireman presented a Volunteer Incentive Program proposal for consideration. The purpose is to attract new members and keep old ones. This would be a cash incentive paid once a year on the member’s performance in the fire department. A point system would be established and kept each year. The monies paid would be part of the annual fire department budget.
Councilman Maul recently attended a Girl Scout Meeting and was asked why the Library phone number has to go through the Town Hall. After the fire the phone system was set up as one through the Town Hall on a rotating system so that you never get a busy signal. It was felt that a person answering the phone was better than getting a recording. Supervisor Hammond will look into the cost of different options.
Councilman McEwen received two (2) quotes for complex lawn care.
Country Green Lawn Care & Landscaping $650.00/Yr.
Tru Green Lawn Care $716.00/Yr.
RESOLUTION NO. 107 (08) COMPLEX LAWN CARE
