Building and Grounds

We now have a nice driveway and parking lot area thanks. Donald Potter suggested Robert Warren be contacted to paint the doors at the Town Hall. Laurie picked out an off white color. The plans from John Mann for the porch and handicap ramp on the south end of the Town Hall are complete. Wayne Smith said we need to put the rail supports about four inches apart for safety reasons. There will also be side rails on each side of the front porch. Donald Slocum asked why we need to have two dehumidifiers in a new building. Kenneth Manzari explained that a new building such as this one would have a certain amount of humidity for a year or so. Marilyn Mann gave a report on GHA. The GHA Association would like to see the exact total of expenses that the Town of Genoa shares with them. Richard Harrison said he would get a schedule together for them. Jake VanBenschoten will be back to complete the digging for the water and electrical hook up.

WATER BOARD REPORT:

James and Kathy Mahaney submitted a request for water hook up for their house on Mahaney Road. Because the house is over 400 foot form the district. The board said until they expand the district there would be no new hook ups over 400 feet from the district. The motion was made not to accept hook up.

NEW BUSINESS:

Karen Keppel and Donald Slocum were interested to know if anything would be done about a junkyard law. Richard Harrison said as soon as enough people show interest they will continue to look into this matter. So far only a few people have showed their concern at the monthly board meetings. The Scat Van transportation contract for 2003 is up for renewal. The board by unanimous consent will have Richard Harrison sign the agreement. We have removed the SBA Towers performance bond with instruction if they continue in the future they will have to have the bond. The towers were never constructed. The school board needs to review the equalization rates. Allen Koslowski has sent for our review on the software for aerial view of properties. Butch suggested we sell the old Compactor we had when we had the dump. WE will advertise for the next budget meeting and salaries on 11-06-02 at 7:30 pm.

Meeting adjourned at 9:55 pm.
