It
was upon motion of Trustee Harvey, seconded by Trustee Feulner, unanimously
carried, to accept the report as given.
DPW
DPW Superintendent Miles presented information to contract
with a sidewalk company to replace some sidewalk. It was decided by the Board to have the
Village DPW do the work as more sidewalks can be replaced by them for the same
amount of money. A culvert needs to be
replaced on Church Street, cost for the culvert to be charged to the
homeowner. Top soil and grass seed needs
to be done at 8 Lancaster Street. Catch
basins are to be cleaned. There are
trees that need to be worked on. Nate
Waterfield and Charlie Gaughan will be contacted to get the work done.
HEALTH
OFFICER
Discussion was held regarding
sharing a Health Officer with the Town of Cherry Valley. Motion made by Trustee Feulner, seconded by
Trustee Harvey, unanimously carried,
RESOLUTION CONSOLIDATING PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICER
POSITION
TO SHARE SERVICE WITH TOWN OF CHERRY VALLEY
WHEREAS, in an effort to share
municipal services, the Village of Cherry Valley (hereinafter referred to as
the “Village”) and Town of Cherry Valley (hereinafter referred to as the
“Town”) have identified an opportunity to have Maureen Kuhn, FNP-C, serve as
Local Health Officer for both the
Village and the Town; and
WHEREAS, Maureen Kuhn, FNP-C, agrees to
act as Local Health Officer for both the Village and the Town, thereby
eliminating the need for the Village to appoint and pay an individual health
officer; and
WHEREAS, via this resolution, the
Village Board of the Village of Cherry Valley (herein after referred to as
“Village Board”) intends to eliminate the Village position of Local Health Officer
and to share the service with the Town’s Local Health Officer, as may be
appointed by the Town of Cherry Valley; and
WHEREAS, it is understood and agreed
that the Town’s Local Health Officer, in furtherance of this resolution, will
investigate complaints of public health nuisances arising in the Village and
when necessary to resolve said nuisances will present the facts and
recommendations to the Village Board for their decision and enforcement action;
and
WHEREAS, the Town of Cherry Valley Town
Board has reviewed the process and recommends adoption of this resolution
consistent with the Town’s resolution dated June 11, 2020 to consolidate the
position and share services with the Village, which the Village Board fully
supports; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, pursuant
to New York Public Health Law §320, it is mutually agreed between the Village
Board and the Town Board that Maureen Kuhn, FNP-C, shall, as the appointed
Local Health Officer for the Town of Cherry Valley, fulfill the duties of the
Local Health Officer for the Village of Cherry Valley, as a shared municipal
service, during the term of her appointment by the Town of Cherry Valley; and
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, the Village
Board hereby directs the Village Clerk to send a certified copy of this
resolution to Otsego County Representative David Bliss, the Otsego County
Public Health Director, and the Town of Cherry Valley Town Clerk.
UNSAFE
BUILDINGS
The Board reviewed the Vacant
Property Law as presented. Motion made
by Trustee Harvey, seconded by Trustee Feulner, unanimously carried to table
action on the law until the Board had more time to review it.
OTHER
BUSINESS
Alice Hurwitz and JoAnna Gray
brought up a problem with a culvert on JoAnna Gray’s property. The DPW will check on it. Alice Hurwitz also discussed concerns of
Japanese Knot Weed on the property at 8 Lancaster Street. This is an aggressive plant that is difficult
to get rid of. She is working on cutting
it down and has contacted Cornell for any direction they can give in
eradicating it.
Dana Dawson discussed his concerns
with the speed of vehicles on Lancaster Street.
He would like some signage put up to slow down and the radar signs put
on Lancaster Street. Mayor Guido
requested that rumble strips be purchased to try to slow traffic and to
purchase brackets for the radar signs.
Dana Dawson also had questions on the frequency of water testing in the
Village. He was advised that it is done
monthly and the Annual Water Quality Report is on the website.
