Town Board Meeting report
By Donald McBrayer
The Regular Town Board Meeting was held on Monday, November 9th. The meeting was quick and uneventful. The agenda items included a motion to accept the “Safe Routes to School Contract”, which passed. This motion paves the way for sidewalk construction along the west side of School Street and will be 100% funded by grants. A motion to approve the 2010 Preliminary Budget also passed.
In Other Business Councilor Tom Powers requested a resolution on next month’s agenda to move $2,800 from the General Fund to be paid to Tom LaBombard to initiate paperwork on the Bear Swamp Road Water/Sewer Expansion Project.
Deputy Supervisor Cortland Forrence discussed options for the Town Hall ceiling including painting or possibly installing a drop ceiling. It was suggested this be done before the new carpet is installed. Mr. Forrence also indicated the newly elected Supervisor and Board Members could be certified by months end.
Public Comments: There was only one comment from Donald McBrayer who noted several issues with the current Town Hall building and asked if long term planning might be considered toward the construction of a new Town Hall. The meeting was adjourned at 7:55PM.
