COMMUNICATIONS

The letter read: Alan, I want to thank you and compliment you and the town on a successful picking up the trash program, I know it helps me keep my yard, barn and free from the clutter that appears out of know where, especially large cardboard boxes and almost everything that arrives these days. I tell colleagues about the program and always hear envious comments. The visual beauty of our town is enhanced by the program and I would suggest that it may even serve to reduce the likelihood of fires. P.S. Any thought to expand the program to household waste items such as solvents paints and brushes. Supervisor Grattidge stated we had a program on Hazardous Waste and it was successful. It was with the Town of Milton and the Town of Ballston, unfortunately some of the funding we were receiving with other towns is not available. Supervisor Grattidge stated a Hazardous Waste program would continuously be looked into.
Supervisor Grattidge stated he received a letter from the State Board of Real Property. Supervisor Grattidge read a portion of the letter that read. On May 15, 2006 the State Board of Real Property Services established a tentative 2006 state equalization rate of 84% for your municipality. This equalization rate was computed using data from your municipal tentative assessed roll. If final assessed roll data produces a significantly different rate we will recompute the equalization rate and notify you. Supervisor Grattidge stated the equalization rate did not come up at 100% as anticipated.
Supervisor Grattidge stated the town board has received a letter from the Environmental Conservation Commission regarding the towns Open Burning Ordinance. The town board will discuss the Burning Ordinance at a future Agenda meeting and decide weather or not to amend the Local Law.
DEPARTMENT REPORTS
Water Superintendent John Morgan stated he has had telephone calls in regards to the people who pay for water in the Town of Charlton. They are only the people who are in the boundaries of the water districts. Not the whole town. District #1 has 7 extensions and there is a district #2, which is on Acorn Drive. The only thing done in district 2 is maintaining the materials that are in the ground. The water surface from the curb box from the house is all done by the Town of Ballston and is billed by the Town of Ballston.
Water Superintendent John Morgan stated the water tower was inspected last week and the extreme of it (do not have the report back yet) if it is completely refurbished it would cost $323,400.00. Rebuilding the fire hydrants you are talking $7000.00 a piece and there are 4 of them to do. Mr. Morgan stated the other item on his list is the repair at the pump station and the repair at the intersection of Beechwood Drive and Stage Road. They are two projects that are going to be extensive. Right now he is trying to set up with a contractor to meet with the engineer to get a basic idea how to approach these projects.
Mr. Morgan stated if nothing is done with the water tower then he thinks the town should seriously consider getting quotes on getting the water tower pressure washed to get the rid of the mildew, if you don’t it will ruin the paint.
Mr. Morgan stated the results of the water tower inspection will be sometime in August. The other item on the list is the engineering progress of chlorination. Mr. Morgan stated at this point it is a dead issue, due to the fact for the extensions in the water district.
Mr. Morgan stated he has been notified that there is a 6 inch gas main in front of the Pump Station, it has a leak. It will be dug up in front of the Pumphouse. If anyone sees activity there, it is not for water it’s for natural gas.
Mr. Morgan stated on Friday Ross Valve will change over electrical services in the Pumphouse, they will replace both valves, the only thing we can contribute it to is so many drops in power. The valves were put in; in 1989 the usefulness is at trails end at this point. Mr. Morgan stated he has not got any prices because it is a job that has to be done. The reason it is not being done instantly, it’s being run on a 240 service and no one has 240 relays in stock, they had to be ordered.
Mr. Morgan stated he would be meeting with a Contractor and Jim Mitchell the Engineer for the Water Districts to discuss how both projects will be done. It is a difficult situation simply because we get our water from the Town of Glenville and if it were to be picked apart we have no way of getting water to the residents of the Town of Charlton. The same problem is at the intersection of Beechwood Drive because it is on the transmission line. Supervisor Grattidge asked Superintendent of Water John Morgan to keep the town board posted.
ANIMAL CONTROL
Councilman Gardner stated the Animal Control Officer has had a busy month. There was one dog bite in the town and a dangerous dog case was issued. The case went in front of the Justices and is being worked through. At the wild life end there were two foxes underneath a porch and at another home there were coy dog puppies underneath a porch. A raccoon was found acting strange although it came back negative for rabies. Finally, there were 3 lost dogs this month. Councilman Verola stated were the lost dogs put on the town’s website. Councilman Gardner said he would find out.
ASSEMENT REVIEW BOARD
Town Clerk Heather Scribner stated she had received a copy of the Grievances from the Chairman of the Assessment Review Board Eva Bulter. Assessor Chairman Vicky Hayner stated there were 3 Grievances this year and 2 stipulations.
ASSESSORS
Chairman Vicky Hayner stated Grievance Day went very well. The Assessors Office is now moving ahead on the 2007 roll. Chairman Hayner stated the final roll for 2006 will be out on July 1st.
Chairman Hayner stated this summer you will see the two other Assessors Robert Cromie and Weasley Weaver out taking photos of homes to ensure all the Assessors files have photos, we are trying to keep the files update as far as photos.
Marv Schorr asked if there was any discussion made on reassessments because 84% equalization rate is not too good. Assessor Chairman Hayner stated the Assessors are going to look ahead this fall to see if we should go to 100%. The real estate has seemed to be going down, although there are a bunch of sales to post, this should give a good indication on what has happened in the last couple months. The Assessors will review over the summer and into the fall. Chairman Hayner stated 84% isn’t horrible in fact a lot of towns in the county who have always done annual assessments and kept their rate at 100% decided not too, they found it a very awarding experience. It is much easer to stay at 100% because people understand it. When the Assessors raise residents at 100% they think they are getting double, they think their assessments are going up and their taxes are going up. Chairman Hayner stated the job of the Assessor is to keep an equitable roll. Your tax rate will be higher this year due to the School levy. It is not due to the town board or government.
CABLE
Supervisor Grattidge stated he is checking with Time Warner on their progress with this year additions. A section of Jockey Street is wired and no sight of other areas.
COMPREHENSIVE STEERING COMMITTEE
Member Marv Schorr stated the board has reached a point where they have sent out the final goals and strategies to the consultant to write the text of the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Schorr stated he did not know how long it would take. A tentative meeting is scheduled is for June 26th in case the text is received if not July 17th will be the next meeting. Once the text is received by the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee they will reviewed it, have a public hearing and present it to the town board.

Environmental Conservation Commission (ECC)
Chairman Marv Schorr stated the ECC submitted a letter of recommendation to the Town Board on the Open Burning Law.
Chairman Schorr thanked the town board for the continuing support with the Roadside Cleanup and the Tree Giveaway. The tree giveaway is extremely popular and the roadside clean is fun for family’s and organizations. Chairman Schorr thanked the Highway Department it couldn’t be done with out them. Chairman Schorr gave thanks for the coffee that was donated by the Charlton General Store, also to Smith Bros. Farm Bakery for donating donuts.
Supervisor Grattidge stated there is a problem with people depositing tires on rural stretches of roads. Within the last month the Highway Department reported 3 tire dumps. The constables were notified and if anyone sees someone doing something along these lines please notify the town immediately.
Chairman Schorr stated the Tree Giveaway has gotten to the point where all the trees are given out within 20 minutes. The ECC is considering expanding the Tree Giveaway; there has been more money in the budget than the ECC is spending. Based upon the past 2 years the trees have been given out so fast by 12:30pm when residents come they are disappointed that they are all gone.
Chairman Schorr stated he received a complaint from a resident regarding the Bulk Item Pickup. It was noticed when County Waste was picking up the bulk items such as refrigerators they were thrown into their trucks then crushed. That is contrary to federal law, the refrigerant must be drained even whether or not it is Freon you can not just crush them. By the time the ECC found out what the federal law was the Bulk Item Pickup was done. Chairman Schorr stated that County Waste needs to be notified for next year’s collection. Supervisor Grattidge requested that ECC forward a copy of the law to him and then he would forward it to County Waste. Supervisor Grattidge the Bulk Item Pickup was very successful.
