Superintendent had lunch with Senator Seward regarding the money the DOT wants back for their portion of the Visitor Center which comes to about $41,000. Senator Seward is able to push this repayment off to May 2017. Supervisor Garretson stated we could work this into the budget without bonding the repayment. Councilperson Barown asked if the Town could make payments and the DOT wants a lump sum and will expect it in May of 2017.

The National Grid invoice was looked at because we get 5 invoices from them and Supervisor Garretson was able to combine the 4 of the 5 into a cheaper supplier which is a good savings. The supplier is North American Power and Gas LLC

William T. Ryan Associates balance on the expense account is larger than the payments being made because Supervisor Garretson is paying on the total invoice monthly while waiting on the bond.
