The town received a letter from the Saratoga County Planning Board giving recommendations to the towns Comprehensive Plan.  Supervisor Grattidge stated that their comments have been incorporated into the plan.  At the request of Supervisor Grattidge Town Clerk Heather Scribner will include the response letter in the meeting minutes of the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee.  The letter will also be read at the Public Hearing scheduled in June.

 

Supervisor Grattidge gave notification of a 5K Run on June 2nd.  The roads of Maple Avenue and Packard Road would be closed to traffic starting at 7:00am for this event.  The town would make arrangements for parking and have a constable available for traffic.

 

Supervisor Grattidge stated that there had been a few cases of rabies in town.  A new procedure will be that the Saratoga County Public Health will send a written report of any rabies case.  On April 16th a rabid raccoon was found on Featherbed Lane.  Reports will be filed in the Town Clerks Office.

Supervisor Grattidge received a grant opportunity for fire equipment.  A copy was forward to each Fire District and EMS.

 

The Zoning Administrator received a letter from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.  The letter referred to a non permitted mining on lands on Division Street.  The NYS DEC requests the resident to sit down with them to determine if he is in violation of the NYS DEC laws.  Supervisor Grattidge suggests scheduling a meeting with the Town Board, Zoning Administrator and the Town Attorney to discuss the towns mining regulations and dumping of wood chips and stumps for fill.  There is a Local Law No. 1 of 1992 which recognizes dumping of wood chips.

 

The towns Planning Board will hold a public hearing on May 21st at 7:45pm on a two lot subdivision located at the corner of Sweetman Road and Jenkins Road lands of Nigriny.

 

Supervisor Grattidge stated that there has been discussion on drafting a local law on 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.
