Community Center/Alden Fields and Park:
• Biddy Basketball is finishing up. Weekends are being booked up for April and May
Town Facilities:
• Transfer Station is now being serviced by On Time Waste Removal and it seems to be going well. Supervisor Garretson called Casella Waste to ask if there was a contract with previous guy showing up and they said no.
Community Facilities Corp/Old School
• Councilperson Barown, who sits on this Board, stated some repairs are being done such as insulating the pipes in the basement.
• Planning an auction later in the summer
• Chris brought up running Bingo, however this is a process that is restricted and a lot of leg work to get this up and running. So for now it is just an idea being considered.

• Mayor Flint stated the Village has hired a new employee. Everything else is moving along as usual. Village elections are coming up as well.
Town Planning:
• Supervisor Garretson received an information update from Anne Marie Garti from FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission). Because the Town signed on to be intervener’s we will receive updates periodically.
• National Grid came out and did an audit of the Town Highway Barn. Suggested replacing the lights. Estimated cost would be a little over $8,000 and National Grid would pay $4,500 of this upgrade.
• After this project the lights in the Gym should be looked at to be replaced some time.
Federal/State/County:
• Beth Rosenthal County Rep is present and gives an update on the County Business.
Question and comments by the public present:
Deri and Rosada Utter presented information regarding the many traffic accidents that have happened over the years near their home. Vehicles travel to fast through the curve. They are asking the Town if there is a way to apply to the State for a reduced speed limit through this section and at the very least put up some kind of chevrons indicating sharp curve.
Aaron VanBuren, Captain from the Cherry Valley Emergency Squad, presented a 911 reflective sign project they have been working on, to hopefully get everyone in the Town to have one of these 911 signs at their residence. The squad will be doing the installations for any resident who would agree to have a sign installed. The squad’s hope is to have the signs installed in the same or similar location at each residence so it will be easier to identify the residence when a call comes in instead of trying to find a sign that was maybe placed on a tree or a porch, etc. This would be optional to the resident and the squad would install the signs free of charge. Aaron has been looking into grants to pay for this project. He is here tonight to ask the Town for their consideration of helping out with the cost for this service.
Motion to adjourn-Councilperson Barown Seconded by Councilperson Johnson
There being no further business meeting adjourned at 8:05pm.
