DPW
Water meter readings have been done
for January bills and new water meters are being installed. Some items have to be purchased at the
Hardware Store to complete the installation of some of the meters. Mayor Guido advised Dave Hajczewski that the
Christmas ornament on upper Main Street needs to be put back up.
CHRISTMAS
DECORATIONS
There has been an issue with
National Grid notifying the Village that they will be charging for the
convenience outlets on the light poles.
The cost is around $52.00 a year for the outlets that are only used for
one month of the year. Plans are to
convert the decorations to have solar lights on them next year. Some other changes to the decorations may be
made to update them. Discussion was held
regarding possibly also purchasing some Christmas banners or solar light poles
to be decorated in place of or in addition to the current decorations.
VILLAGE
ORDINACES
Clerk-Treasurer Herr reported that
she has reviewed the Village Ordinances regarding parking in the village. There may be places that need to be updated
in the no parking ordinances. It was decided
that a few of the Village Ordinances will be reviewed each month.
GREATER
MOHAWK VALLEY LAND BANK MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
JoAnn Guido presented a draft
Memorandum of Understanding for the Village with the Greater Mohawk Valley Land
Bank. This is still under review and
pending the Article 19A action.
CEMETERY
ANNEX
The First Presbyterian Church has
received approval from their Presbytery to donate approximately one half an
