Storm Water Management. A meeting was
held on April 10th at the office of Town Attorney Robert
VanVranken. Attorney VanVranken
distributed two packets of information, a Model Local Law for Stormwater
Management and Erosion & Sediment Control and the Town of Charlton Local
Law to Prohibit Illicit Discharges, Activities and Connections to Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System(s).
Attorney VanVranken has been speaking with Mike McNamara of EDP for
several months. Supervisor Grattidge,
Attorney VanVranken, Mr. McNamara, ECC Chairman Marv Schorr and the Saratoga
County coordinator Blue Niles met on April 10th. Mr. McNamara discussed during the meeting
the pros and cons with moving forward with the proposed legislation. A suggestion was to move forward with the
model legislation for a few years and see how it works, then start addressing
certain specific issues. Mr. McNamara
recommended moving for with the model legislation. The town currently adopts its annual storm water management which
started in 2003. The target date for
legislation is January 8, 2008. Most
towns have not adopted legislation yet but are moving towards that date. Supervisor Grattidge stated that the process
would be to hold a public hearing then making the effective date January 1,
2008. The thought was to give time for
everyone to get prepared. The Zoning
Officer would be the enforcer. Attorney
VanVranken stated the legislation would be part of the Zoning Ordinance. Zoning Officer Dave LaFountain stated that
he would like to be part of the meetings on this topic.
Planning
Board Member Jay Wilkinson stated the Planning Board put together a
subcommittee to review the MS4 proposed legislation. The subcommittee included Planning Board Chairman Ray Black,
member Connie Wood, Jack Kadleck, Jay Wilkinson and ECC Chairman Marv
Schorr. Mr. Wilkinson distributed a
draft copy of the legislation was created by the subcommittee for
considerations. All changes are
highlighted and a summary of changes is attached. Mr. Wilkinson stated that the changes that were made reflected
the conditions that were found in Charlton and the neighboring community Malta
and Milton. Some of the neighboring
towns already have their plan on their web site, therefore we used those. Any changes that are made, the committee is
aware that it could make a gap analysis.
With some of the changes that were made we were hoping that it would
avoid that to happen. The committee
worked on section 2 Purpose, Section 3. Statutory Authority, Section 5
Exemptions, Section 6 Application Requirements, Article 2, section 2 Regulated
Activities, Section 3. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans section 3.2
Contents of Stormwater Pollutions Prevention Plans and section 3.3 Plan
Certification. Supervisor Grattidge
stated that the changes would need to be reviewed as to if it would impact the
gap analysis and the consideration of the enforcement implementation. Planning Board Chairman Ray Black stated
that the subcommittee would wait to continue any more considerations until the
subcommittee receives feed back. Supervisor Grattidge stated that the Town Board is looking at
sometime in July or August to move forward.
Supervisor
Grattidge stated that Blue Niles recommended using the state model legislation
to try to stay away from any gap analysis.
Councilman
Verola stated that the Technology Committee is recommending that the town pass
a resolution to purchase McAfee computer antivirus at not to exceed
$550.00. The antivirus could be used on
15 computers. Technology Committee
Chairman John Tasse stated that the town would be able to monitor activity
using the program. Supervisor Grattidge
stated that Mr. Jones will be in next week, he is the one that was getting the
town the antivirus. Mr. Tasse stated
that we need to talk about that. The
town can take care of it themselves.
The Technology Committee would be able to monitor the software. The month of June is when the current one
expires. Supervisor Grattidge asked Mr.
Tasse to forward the necessary information to the Town Board to prepare a
resolution.
Councilman
Lippiello stated that the Water Superintendent John Morgan has prepared all the
necessary preparations to start the water project. They are waiting to receive the contracts and bonds to get
started.
Councilman
Lippiello stated that the Assessors have requested their pay schedule from
quarterly to biweekly. Supervisor
Grattidge suggested a monthly payment.
The town’s constables are on that pay schedule. It cuts down on the paperwork that is
generated. Councilman Verola stated
that she agreed with a monthly payment schedule. Councilman Lippiello said he will approach the Assessors with a
monthly pay option.
Councilman
Salisbury announced that the Finance Committee will be meeting on May 2nd
at 7:00pm. They will be watching a
video from the NYS Comptrollers.
The
town received a payment schedule of the serial bond for the Town Hall Project
from Ballston Spa National Bank on Municipal Security Pricing Request. The amount is for $1,255,000.00 with a
