The first item on the agenda concerns I & I. for Phases I & II.
SUPERVISOR SMITH announced that we have some money left over. In the
sewer lines we had $114,123.59 which they rolled over They also want to
roll over the $951,261.49 for the plant. She asked them not to do that,
because her intention was to ask the boards approval for I & I work with this
money, which we sorely need. This would be subject to verification of Bond
Council. Discussion followed.
COUNCILMAN BETTINA moved to approve the I & I work and proceed
with the study, based on the Attorneys recommendation and subject to
verification of Bond Council.

Next is the Klein Nicole Farms update from Al Roberts, Attorney to the
Town. Mr. Roberts informed the board that the Nicole Farms Bond has been
renewed for an additional year. The reason we did not go forward in calling
the Bond is because we have to identify precisely what we are going to be
doing. Mr. Klein cooperated to the extent that he renewed the Letter of
Credit. We still have not identified the nature of the work to be done. Some
form of the old work or this new scheme. All we are trying to do at this point
is find out what's going to be done, who is going to do it and proceed from
there. Whether or not the town should have accepted the reduced bond in the
first place is water over the dam. Mr. Klein indicated that he would
cooperate and we will sit down, come up with some numbers and report back
to the board.
NO ACTION TAKEN
Next is the Interim Plot Plan. SUPERVISOR SMITH announced that we
have had several meetings on this. Discussion followed.
COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO moved to authorize Attorney to the Town, Al
Roberts, in conjunction with Dan Wery, draft a proposal, with input from Jay
Paggi, Engineer to the Town on a interim Plot Plan procedure to be amended
to our Town Code.
Seconded by Mr. Paoloni
Motion Unanimously Carried
COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO moved to authorize Al Roberts, Attorney to the
Town to draft a similar proposal to include Commercial also.
Seconded by Paoloni
Motion Unanimously Carried
Jay Paggi, Engineer to the Town, gave his report on the Post Closure
Monitoring for Castle Point. Once we have established one year of
monitoring we are going to apply for a reduction in the number of years, and
the number of times per year we must monitor it. We can apply for this
under the mandate relief program. Discussion followed
NO ACTION TAKEN
Next is the request from Bill Diesing to hook up to Town water for a house
he wishes to build on Myers Corners Road. Supervisor Smith explained,
even though he is in the district, we can't supply him with water, but he
needs a letter from the Town sent to the Health Department stating the fact.
Discussion followed.
COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO moved to authorize Mr. Paggi to send a letter
to Supervisor Smith first, stating we must deny Mr. Diesing's request.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati

11/08/99.WS

district.

Motion Unanimously Carried
Several weeks ago we went out to bid to replace the front doors for the Town
Hall to make them handicap accessible. We have to be in compliance by the
end of the year, and we did not receive any bids. Supervisor Smith would
like to have Mr. Paggi authorized to rebid for the doors again.
COUNCILMAN BETTINA moved to authorize Mr. Paggi, Engineer to the
Town to rebid for the handicap accessible front doors for Town Hall.
Seconded by Mr. Paoloni

Supervisor Smith announced, that she was informed that the Roberts Mobil
Home Park water system contains a bacteria called Beaver Feuer. The
Health Department has informed the park owners, that they want them to
hook into Hilltop Water, immediately, but Mr. Rawls must come before the
town first, with the request, which he has not done yet.. The residents were
notified to boil their water. NO ACTION TAKEN.
TOWN CLERK, Elaine Snowden informed the Board that she was served
with papers from PIQWON today. It has not been turned over to the
insurance company because its a town matter, and the Town Board needs to
refer this to Al Roberts, Attorney to the Town, to investigate and defend.

Attorney to the Town, Al Roberts to investigate and defend.
