Public Comment

 

DPW

East Pit Meter: There is now a leak in the east pit.  Harold has had two more plumbers look at it and neither wants to work on it.  At some point the Village will have to terminate water to those outside users unless the problem is corrected.  It is the outside users responsibility to contract and pay for the repairs.

450 Dump Truck Tires: Upon motion by Trustee Flaherty 2nd by Trustee Yonko, it was unanimous to accept the state bid on 6 Goodyear tires from Commercial Truck Tire for $1,936.86.

DEC Inspection: Everything looked good at the WWTP.  There was a recommendation to purchase a generator, which the Village is in the process of saving for.

The DEC is requesting an engineering report to issue a land spreading permit.  Harold will contact Paul Sheneman.

 

Maintenance Report:  Everything looks good.  Clean-up day is scheduled for October 11, 2014.

Training Report:  nothing new

 

CODES:

Upon motion by Trustee Vernay, 2nd by Trustee Poellot, it was unanimous to adopt the NYS unified solar permit form. 

54 State Street:  Codes will look into contacting the owner about mowing the lawn and general upkeep.

Tully Ag:  at intermittent times there is an odor coming from Tully Ag which various residents have complained about.  Ralph cannot locate the smell.  It may be from the unloading of the train cars.  Ralph will conduct further research.

Counsel:

No report

Engineer:

The Village received a letter from Onondaga County Health department in support of our efforts to repair, improve and upgrade our water system,
