Programs and Grants

There was nothing new at this time.

Highway Report.

They have been ditching on Whipple road. We have our supply of cinders for the winter hauled in and mixed in the new salt storage building. Ledyard loaded them for us and Venice helped haul them. We hauled some sand for Venice.

Crane Tree Service took down a tree for us on Stevens Street, one on Pine Hollow Road on the bank and did some bucket trim work on Green Road for us.

With the help of Venice, Moravia, Niles and Ledyard, we have the gravel down along with Geo Textile fabric, on Green Road. Still needs edge work and ditching. All cross culverts were changed. We put a skim of gravel on 3 sections or Weeks Road where it washed earlier this year. One day helped Niles put down some gravel and fabric. Getting stuff ready for winter. Al's mowing. I did call State DOT the day after the last meeting about trimming the trees around the streetlights in King Ferry. I ended up leaving a message on their answering machine. Never heard back from them.

Proposed new electrical rates that have been worked on most of this year have not yet been completed. We have still not gotten any word from NYSEG. Papers have all been filed on the Landfill Closure and we are waiting for the money. Possibly $42,900.00 should be received. Workman Compensation auditor will let us know about our credit on the premium. He has made a new review of our audit given previously because it included overtime hours that are not to be included in the audit in full.

Reviewed 2001 Budget. There were 2 other changes. A1620.24 was raised $30,000.00 and A9901.9 was eliminated. DA5030 was reduced $30,000.

James Baker presented copies of the purchase offer for Mabel Travis to Hans Pecher who is representing Mabel in this transaction. Hans requested there be two changes. He wanted the way the land will be paid for on the purchase offer and also that the town pays for the surveying.
