Attorney Matt Neuman explained a problem with an easement north of Skadden Terrace along the Relyea property.  Also discussed was the developer agreement with regard to issuance of certificate of occupancies.  Trustee William Murphy said he thought the Board should allow a certificate of occupancy for Brophy’s before the binder goes down.  Code Enforcement Officer Ron Ryan requested an executive session to discuss the matter. 

Upon motion of Trustee William Murphy seconded by Trustee Daniel Poellot, it was unanimous to open executive session.  8:04PM.

8:20PM, Upon motion by Trustee William Murphy, seconded by Trustee Sally Greene, it was unanimous to adjourn executive session and re-convene the regular meeting.

Ron Ryan suggested to John Bishop and Attorney Matt Neuman that they try and negotiate with Relyea to obtain title to the piece of property needed for the easement and if that doesn’t happen the Village will begin condemnation but he stressed it needs to be done immediately.

DPW

Harold Kiehl reported that Dick Schwab and Gary Bliss from the College of Forestry came down and looked at the farm.  They want to use five acres in exchange for accepting the wellhead agreement, but they now need to take that to the researchers.

Harold said the residents on Warren Street want to grind the stumps from the maple trees we removed last year.  The cost would be $2.00/inch for 8 stumps, total being $800 - $1,000.  Harold will compile a list of tires, rims weedwackers, etc., that he would like the Board to declare as surplus so they can be sold. 

The aeration tanks are being drained and cleaned.  The lines have been found broken and hardware rotted on the first tank.  Harold said he expects the other tank will be the same, so we need to make repairs.  The Board agreed we need to call Barton & Loguidice and get them down here to look at and also check to see if it was spec’d for stainless.                                            

Upon motion by Trustee Daniel Poellot, seconded by Trustee Sally Greene it was unanimous to request Ken Teter to begin engineering work for the water main replacement on Elm, Clinton & Lincoln Streets.

There was discussion on a payment to Emerald for $441.75 that the contractor says we still owe.  Harold will talk to Barton & Loguidice on this matter tomorrow also.

Bills were audited for payment.

Upon motion of Trustee Daniel Poellot, seconded by Trustee William Murphy, it was unanimous to adjourn.  9:15 PM.

Respectfully Submitted

Clerk/Treasurer
