MAIN STREET PARK LEASE
The payment has been sent to Patricia Wingate for the one year lease of the park on Main Street.
CEMETERY DEED
A deed for 2 cremation lots that was issued to Kathleen Hahl was presented. The deed was signed by all members of the board and certified by Clerk-Treasurer Herr.
SALES TAX DISBURSEMENT
Discussion was held regarding changing the split for the Sales Tax Reimbursement from Otsego County to be 50% to the General Fund and 50% to the Water Fund to help replenish the Water Fund from the large expense last year for the well. Motion made by Trustee Feulner, seconded by Trustee Harvey, unanimously carried
RESOLVED to split the Sales Tax Reimbursement from Otsego County to 50% in the General Fund and 50% in the Water Fund.
CREMATION BURIAL CHARGES
Clerk-Treasurer Herr inquired about how many burial charges should be charged if two cremains were to be buried on the same lot at the same time. It was decided that if only one hole needed to be dug, then only one cremation burial charge would be acceptable.
CANNABIS CONTROL BOARD
Clerk-Treasurer Herr reported to the board that a letter was received from the NYS Cannabis Control Board that approval has been granted to Peregrine Toke LLC to operate at 11 Main Street in the Village of Cherry Valley. The license is valid for two years and can then be renewed every two years. The Village will be notified when a license renewal is requested.
OTHER BUSINESS
Clerk-Treasurer Herr has received a call from an individual looking to purchase a cremation lot for Richard Brockman. He was a town resident at the time of his death. The lot can be purchased at the cost for a town resident since he will be the only person buried in it.
Clerk-Treasurer Herr reported that the credit card with NBT Bank has been approved and is in the safe.
Clerk-Treasurer Herr reported that letters to invite the Town, Fire District and School District to a presentation by NYCLASS will be sent out tomorrow. The cemetery grant is being worked on. This will assist with paying for the restoration of the large obelisks in the old section of the cemetery.
Discussion held on the purchase of the mini-excavator. Clerk-Treasurer Herr will check with NYS OSC on the need for bids or if quotes are enough. Review of the quotes already received will be done.
Discussion held regarding

RESOLVED to transfer $150,000 to NYCLASS from the checking account until needed for operating expenses.
