Councilperson Cornwell made a motion to accept the invoices and payments as presented, Councilperson Johnson seconded the motion.  The invoices and payments have been presented and accepted.   All in favor 4 ayes 0 nay

Presentation of Invoices and Payments:
•    Budget reviewed as well as NBT Account balances

Misc. information to the Town Clerk:
•    Otsego County Sales Tax for the month of OCT $8,213.27
•    Otsego County Mortgage Tax distribution $3,722.21

Community Center Alden Field and Park:
•    Biddy basketball practices continue
•    Modified basketball practices continue
•    Rentals are up

Health Center:
•    Switching to the Athena billing system which will be linked to the Bassett billing system.
•    Frank McGrath inquired about the $350,000 owed to Bassett does the Town have to pay the past due invoices.  Answer is yes.
Phil Durkin inquired about the 2016 Health Center audit found on the Comptroller’s website regarding $200,000 deficit. The Health Center is audited yearly, the 2016 audit was most likely part of the Town being audited that year.  Mr. Durkin quoted a paragraph from the August 26 2016 comptroller’s audit which stated;  The Board and Supervisor have not effectively assessed the impact of the health center on the Town’s financial condition. As a result, the health center has required over $200,000 of Town resources over the last three completed fiscal years to sustain operations. Our audit results are based on financial information obtained from source documents and the restatement of the Town’s financial records because the Town’s reported annual financial information was not accurate.  The Supervisor is not maintaining separate accounting records for the health center’s activity and some costs are not allocated to the health center accordingly. The health center’s activity is recorded in the general fund using a single line item for all revenues and a single line item for all expenditures. For the past three years, the health center and Town have had the following results of operations. Furthermore, while the results show deficits for the health center for the last three years, additional expenditures have not been correctly recorded or allocated to the health center. For example, for 2015, we found the following expenditures were either not allocated to the health center or not recorded properly.  It is imperative that Town officials continue to monitor the health center’s operations using accurate financial information to minimize the impact on the Town’s financial condition.  Is this what is happening now?

Councilperson Cornwell explained that at the time of that audit the Health Center was not separated out of the general fund.  Now the accounting of the Health Center is separated out so the board can see where the money goes.  Now the board can see where the HC loses the money.  

Who is on the Board for the Health Center; Stan King, PJ Johnson, Janet McCarty, Tom Garretson and Elletta Horth.

•    Andy Minnig asked how much does it cost to run the Health Center yearly.  Answer $500,000.  Mr. Minnig wanted clarification on why the Town failed to receive the invoices from Bassett.  Answer Supervisor Garretson never received them.  Unfortunately, the insurance companies are not reimbursing the full amount for services therefore the Town makes up the deficit.  Supervisor Garretson is hopeful the new billing system will help correct the deficit to cover 2/3rd of the expense.  Tax payers would cover 1/3rd of the expense.

Village:
•    Town and Village Board Minutes and info- www.cherryvalleyny.us

Town Planning:
•     Frank McGrath reported Mr. Hollister attended the Joint Planning Boad meeting to bring his concerns forward regarding Swarty’s Campground expansion.  The Joint Planning Board never received anything from Swarty’s..  A letter will be sent to Swarty’s from the Joint Planning Board asking what the plan is for their expansion to the campground.  Mr. Hollister inquired about an enforcement officer for the Town.
•    The lawyer for the Carson project stated the JPB should do nothing until Article 78 is resolved.  Article 78 is on hold per the lawyer hired by the board for the Carson project.  The reason for this is because Carson is seeking a variance.
•    Lorraine Bosma resigned from the board due to personal reasons
DRAFT ONLY TB MEETING DEC 12, 2024

•    The Joint Planning Board membership may need to be revisited from 7-5 in the future.

TB MEETING NOV 14, 2024 PUBLIC HEARING FOR 2025 PRELIMINARY BUDGET

Motion to open the Public Hearing for the Tax Cap Override is made by Councilperson Johnson 2nd by Councilperson Cornwell.  Public Hearing opened at 6:36PM

Question asked by Phil Durkin regarding the Health Center revenue how is that found?  Supervisor Garretson replied the billing system is antiquated and is being replaced as well as hiring a medical biller to try to retrieve revenue.  Does the Health Center have a board and do they have minutes that are posted online?  Supervisor Garretson didn’t think they are posted online but the minutes can be foiled if desired.

Andy Minnig stated historically the Health Care Center is supposed to break even. Supervisor Garretson stated it hasn’t in about 25 years.  Mr. Minnig went on to say the health center accepts patients outside the Cherry Valley area.  To a degree the health care center denies residents services because they are oversubscribed.  The health center is asking the residents to subsidize for non-residents.  Supervisor Garretson is going to give it a year with the new billing system and biller to see if the health center will break even otherwise it is not fair to the taxpayers to keep the health center afloat.
