Trustee
Feulner reported on the meeting he attended regarding the County Hazard
Mitigation Plan. It was recommended at
the meeting to keep track of costs related to any hazards for possible funding. The main hazard that has been identified for
the county is flooding. Mayor Guido
would like contact made with Otsego Soil and Water to see if they can come to
check on the streams in the Village for Flood Mitigation activities.
An
email from Attorney Clarke was received with updates on 8 Lancaster and 8
Genesee Street. The thirty day notice
period has expired on 8 Lancaster Street and the legal papers for finalizing

Trustee
Feulner reported that he received a complaint about the way the Boil Water
Notices were issued. A business owner
stated that they did not receive the paper notice and learned of the notice on
Facebook. Discussion was held that
notices were placed on doors and may have blown off. Some residents also stated they did not find
their notices as they were on their front door that they do not use. The notice also stated that the order to lift
the Boil Water Notice would be posted on the Village Website, cherryvalleyny.us, and at the Post Office. Even
though this procedure was followed as soon as possible after the Boil Water
Notice was lifted, some residents were upset that they did not know it had been
lifted.
