It was upon motion of Trustee Harvey, seconded by Trustee
Feulner, unanimously carried, to accept the report as given.
DPW
The DPW will begin sweeping
the streets when it rains in the next few weeks. Demolition and cleanup is to start on
3/24/2020 at 8 Lancaster Street. Otsego
County will be paving County Highway 54 from the Village line to East
Springfield. Taylor Miles asked about
the Village paying the company doing the work to pave the rest of the street to
the stop light. As this section of
street belongs to Otsego County the Village will not be paying for any of the
repairs to Genesee Street. A letter will
be sent to Rich Brimmer, Otsego County Highway Superintendent about this. The berm on Alden Field will be installed as
soon as the weather permits.
ELECTION
The Village Election that was scheduled
for Wednesday, March 18, 2020 has been postponed to Tuesday, April 28, 2020 by
Executive Order of Governor Cuomo.
BUDGET
Proposed
budget for 2020-2021 was presented. There
were no changes that the Board wanted done at this time.
CEMETERY
A bid
for maintenance of the Cemetery was received on February 24, 2020 as per the
bid notice. Another bid was received
after the bids were opened. Motion made
by Trustee Feulner, seconded by Trustee Harvey, unanimously carried to reject
the bids that were received.
The
maintenance of the Cemetery will remain as in the past with temporary employees
hired to do the maintenance.
ANNUAL ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING AND BUDGET HEARING
Motion
made by Trustee Harvey, seconded by Trustee Feulner, unanimously carried to
hold the Annual Organizational Meeting and Public Hearing for the Budget on
Monday, April 6, 2020 at 7 PM.
OTHER BUSINESS
Tammy
Bartlett, owner of the Cherry Valley Hardware Store expressed her concerns that
the individuals who were installing the Wi-fi for the Village were in her store
again today. This is the fourth time
that they have come to check the serial numbers on the equipment they
installed. One of the workers made a
comment that they were from Suffolk County and made a joke about the
Coronavirus. She had a customer in the
store at the time and neither of them found it amusing. Mayor Guido advised her that he would address
this with Spectrum.
A used
2009 Ford Ranger has been purchased for the Village DPW. The Chevy S10 that had been used had become
unsafe due to brake failure and other equipment failures causing the truck to
be taken off the road. This necessitated
an emergency purchase of a vehicle for the DPW.
Pricing for decals for the truck will be obtained.
Board
members were given and reviewed the Benchmarking report for energy usage at the
Village Shop through February, 2020.
There
is water running out in front of the Earl Evans residence. A letter will be sent regarding fixing this
issue.
Alice
Hurwitz asked if there are any prohibitions of having guinea hens in the
Village. A copy of the Local Law #1 of
2019 will be sent to her.
