Question and comments by the public present:
Aaron VanBuren, Captain of the Cherry Valley Emergency Squad, is here representing the Emergency squad as they are going to be hosting an open house in May for EMT week. They have many events planned that may require a road closed off and he is asking for the Town Board to sponsor the event so that the Squad is in compliance with any laws in terms of closing off a road and or hanging signage over Main Street advertising the event. The road in question is a Village road so this would have to go to the Village Board. Would the Town be interested in contributing to any signage to advertise the event?
Motion to adjourn-Supervisor Garretson Seconded by Councilperson Barown. There being no further business meeting adjourned at 7:55pm.

Mary Beth Flint, Town Clerk

Question and comments by the public present:
Aaron VanBuren, Captain of the Cherry Valley Emergency Squad, is here representing the Emergency squad as they are going to be hosting an open house in May for EMT week. They have many events planned that may require a road closed off and he is asking for the Town Board to sponsor the event so that the Squad is in compliance with any laws in terms of closing off a road and or hanging signage over Main Street advertising the event. The road in question is a Village road so this would have to go to the Village Board. Would the Town be interested in contributing to any signage to advertise the event?
Motion to adjourn-Supervisor Garretson Seconded by Councilperson Barown. There being no further business meeting adjourned at 7:55pm.
