CRECHE COMMITTEE

Mrs. Snyder read a re-cap of the origin of the Creche project, which was a joint effort of all of the local churches. The women explained that the crèche was not totally complete when they put it up last winter and they had planned on making changes. Board members offered suggestions and help with getting materials and/or labor.


DPW

Mrs. Snyder thanked Dave for his and Mathias’ hard work. She also stated that Bud is doing a great job in the cemetery. Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Snyder noted the positive changes that have been made in the village.

Cemetery

Roadway Sealing

A quote was accepted from Webster Paving in the amount of $1,840.00 to re-seal the cemetery roadway. This will be done in June.

Lawn Tractor Quote

Two different quotes were received on riding lawn mowers for use in the cemetery. As neither mower is exactly what is wanted, it was decided to wait on purchasing a tractor at this time.

STREET CLEANING

The Fire Department has washed Main Street, as a drill for their young (Explorer’s) members. A thank you will be sent to the Chief in regards to the above.
As Main Street (State Route 166) has not yet been swept, the Deputy Clerk has contacted Mike Adams, New York State Department of Transportation regarding the lack of services from the state on the state highway. The Clerk later spoke to Mr. Adams who said they are now or will be soon sweeping the street. He also stated that the Town of Cherry Valley gets reimbursed for sanding/salting and plowing the street, but it is the responsibility of the Village to do the snow removal.

Jeff Stiles……………. $25
Kevin Flint …………. 25

CHAMBER SIGNS

The Chamber has had the historical signs remade. As Artwork’s has sponsored the sign in front of the former Village Hall, it was suggested that the village may want to have one made for in front of the former school (which part of is leased by the town and village).
