Miscellaneous:

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.
Village:
• Town and Village board minutes online @ cherryvalleyny.us
• 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

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.

Resolution 2013-5 Amendment to Contract #D01680 of the Municipal Snow and Ice Contract Agreement
Proposed Action: Amendment to Contract #D01680 of the Municipal Snow and Ice Contract Agreement
Whereas, due to the severity of the winter and the high cost of fuel during the 2012/2013 season, the municipality requests that the Municipal Snow and Ice Agreement estimated expenditure be revised to reflect the additional lane miles of state roads that were plowed and or treated during the afore mentioned season, and the additional costs associated with the higher fuel prices, and
Whereas, all terms and conditions of the original contract extension remain in effect except the original estimated expenditure of $58,834.47 will have an additional adjustment of $6,236.45 for a revised estimated expenditure of $65,070.92, and
Now, therefore be it resolved, this board authorizes Thomas Garretson-Supervisor to enter into amendment B which will adjust the 2012-2013 snow and ice contract for a revised payment factor with the New York State Department of Transportation.
Motion by Councilperson Cornwell to accept Resolution 2013-5 Seconded by Councilperson Johnson. Roll Call vote is taken: Supervisor Garretson-Excused Deputy Supervisor Barown-yes, Councilperson Johnson-yes, Councilperson Cornwell-yes and Councilperson Laughlin-yes 4yes 0no. Duly carried.

Two consecutive meetings in a row there was no quorum to conduct business even after discussing with the chairman in August Mr. Laughlin needed to have this action taken care of. Mr. Laughlin was assured by the chairman there would be a quorum at the September meeting and there wasn’t.

Resolution 2013-5 Amendment to Contract #D01680 of the Municipal Snow and Ice Contract Agreement
Proposed Action: Amendment to Contract #D01680 of the Municipal Snow and Ice Contract Agreement
Whereas, due to the severity of the winter and the high cost of fuel during the 2012/2013 season, the municipality requests that the Municipal Snow and Ice Agreement estimated expenditure be revised to reflect the additional lane miles of state roads that were plowed and or treated during the afore mentioned season, and the additional costs associated with the higher fuel prices, and
Whereas, all terms and conditions of the original contract extension remain in effect except the original estimated expenditure of $58,834.47 will have an additional adjustment of $6,236.45 for a revised estimated expenditure of $65,070.92, and
Now, therefore be it resolved, this board authorizes Thomas Garretson-Supervisor to enter into amendment B which will adjust the 2012-2013 snow and ice contract for a revised payment factor with the New York State Department of Transportation.
Motion by Councilperson Cornwell to accept Resolution 2013-5 Seconded by Councilperson Johnson. Roll Call vote is taken: Supervisor Garretson-Excused Deputy Supervisor Barown-yes, Councilperson Johnson-yes, Councilperson Cornwell-yes and Councilperson Laughlin-yes 4yes 0no. Duly carried.
Copies of the Preliminary Budget with changes made to the Health Center Budget from Monday nights meeting is handed out. Supervisor Garretson would like any changes to be forwarded to him in the next two weeks.
Question and comments by the public present:
Dennis Laughlin is concerned there is a problem with the Town Planning Board as he had brought business for the Town Planning Board in August and September and there were only two members in attendance and no quorum. It is concerning to Mr. Laughlin as an attorney representing clients that it is important to be able to have business acted on in a timely fashion. Two consecutive meetings in a row there was no quorum to conduct business even after discussing with the chairman in August Mr. Laughlin needed to have this action taken care of. Mr. Laughlin was assured by the chairman there would be a quorum at the September meeting and there wasn’t.
Motion to adjourn-Councilperson Cornwell Seconded by Councilperson Laughlin
There being no further business meeting adjourned at 7:40pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary Beth Flint, Town Clerk

DRAFT TB meeting September 12, 2013
Public Hearing for Town Budget Tax Levy Limit Override-Local Law 2013-4 is opened at 7:00Pm.
Councilperson Barown posed the question do they, the State, actually do the calculation for us? At some point to tell us what the increase was? Supervisor Garretson stated we were under the 2%, however other things are exempt from the 2% such as State retirement etc. Councilperson Barown asked the County Treasurer Dan Crowell if the Town should always pass the law from year to year and his advice was always pass the Law.
Councilperson Cornwell asked is there a penalty if the Town went over the 2% levy limit? Supervisor Garretson stated there isn’t one. If the Law was not passed 3-5 Board Members could adopt the Budget as is. What would happen if the Town did not pass the Local Law every year for the override? Supervisor Garretson stated he didn’t know and is guessing the tax levy would be in jeopardy. Councilperson Barown stated the Town may only be able to collect 2% even though the Town would need 2 ¼ to make budget, hypothetically speaking. Then there is a Budget that exceeds revenue.
