Highway Report
Have been patching and working on Weeks Road. Repaired roller
that set in old barn. Hose broke and let oil all over. When highway mileage
certification was done this fall three sections of road were eliminated. If these Roads
are in the inventory they will have to be maintained and passable.
In June of last year we proposed to the County to make a swap with tow roads in the Town
of Genoa. The County attorney recommended we have
a referendem from Town Board to John Oslin at Cayuga County for permission to swap last
mile of Lake Road with first mile of Clearview Road. Town Board of Genoa gave Richard
Harrison permission to sign referendem. Cayuga County will be responsible for
maintenance of the entire Lake Road.

Hans Pecher was concerned with the Town charging $2.00 to Mortgage Companies that do not
send in the proper Tax Stubs with their escrow payments. The Town Clerk has to submit
the proper stub with her tapes and checks to the County Treasurer. If the stubs do not
come with payment there is a lot of
time involved in copies and printing time.
This charge will go to the town for time and material. This charge is not concidered a
$2.00 charge for a copy. It is a charge for time and material.
