A resolution honoring Doris Stauffer

 

 

We will have an executive session following this meeting for discussion on a contract.

 

 

Committees:

 

Technology Board – John Tasse reported that they have developed a charter of what they think their job is.  It has been submitted to the Town Board for review and comment.  Does the Town Board need to formally approve it?  The Town Board will review it and act on it at the April 11 Town Board Meeting.  Laura suggested that the State Archives be consulted as far as local government records management is concerned as to what is recommended by those who give us direction on taking care of our town records. 

 

Historian – Laura is working on the resolution for Doris Stauffer.

 

 

Councilman Reports:

Bob – John Morgan is pursuing with Environmental Design the beginning of the project to place a second line over the Alplaus Creek to supply water to the northern part of the water district.  John is going to have the water tower painted this year.  We will be putting that out to contract.  We will need a resolution to pursue bids for painting and a resolution authorizing him to work with EDP for a design of the creek crossing line.

EDP has been in contact with a landowner on Lake Hill Road.  They are requesting bringing water to their property.  It is the next property after the end of the line on Lake Hill.  In order to that we told them they will need to run a main of whatever size is required and put a hydrant in.

Sandy-Nothing at this time.

Alan – Has gotten information on a portajohn for the park for the summer.  Bulk Item Pick Up will be May 2 – 6.  We would like items out on May 1.   There will be one pass through the town.  We are working with County Waste and Recycling on the project.  Brush and leaf pick up will begin April 7.  It will be every Thursday whether you are a County Waste customer or not.  It will continue until December 1.  The annual agreement has been completed between the Highway Department and the Town Board concerning CHIPS money.  It is a program where the state reimburses us for working on roads in a 10-year cycle.  A road has to qualify for these monies in order to receive it. 

Dot – Newsletter deadline is April 14.
