TRUSTEE HOWLEY REPORT
WATER – PHIL LANDRU COULD NOT MAKE IT TONIGHT. THEY HAVE BEEN DETECTING A LOT OF EXTRA WATER USAGE COMING OUT OF THE PLANT. TODAY WE HAD A COMPANY COME IN THAT DETECTS WATER LEAKS AND THEY FOUND A SUBSTANTIAL LEAK OFF OF MOUNTAIN LAKES LANE. IT HAS BEEN FIXED. WE ARE TESTING OUR WATER QUALITY REGULARLY NOW AS REQUIRED BY OUR SPEDES PERMIT. THE LEAD PROBLEM IN FLINT MICHIGAN MAY BE A BLESSING IN DISGUISE FOR THE REST OF THE COUNTRY BECAUSE IT IS ENLIGHTENING PEOPLE ON HOW LEAD GETS INTO YOUR WATER. WHEN THE WATER COMES OUT OF THE PLANT IT IS PURE, NO LEAD. THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS OLD AND PIPING IN HOUSING IS OLD AND THAT’S WHERE THE LEAD IS COMING FROM. WE ARE WORKING WITH THE DEC AND THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.

MANY PEOPLE BROUGHT ISSUES TO MY ATTENTION. WE ARE WORKING ON A PROPERTY DAMAGE CLAIM AGAINST A MOTORIST WHO DESTROYED SOME VILLAGE PROPERTY.
MAYOR DWYER – DO WE NEED TO PASS A RESOLUTION REGARDING THAT TRIANGLE OF PROPERTY?

WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF SUBMITTING VERY LENGTHY FORMS TO REINTRODUCE PHOSPHATE TO OUR WATER TREATMENT PROCESS. WE HOPE THAT WE ARE SUCCESSFUL. THE HEALTH OF OUR RESIDENTS REMAINS PRIORITY NUMBER ONE.
VILLAGE BUDGET – WE HAD OUR FINAL WORKSHOP HERE EARLIER TONIGHT. WE HAVE A GREAT BUDGET THAT KEEPS OUR TAXES FAR BELOW THE TAX CAP AND PROVIDES ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO CRITICAL ASPECTS OF OUR COMMUNITY. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE BUDGET NEXT MONDAY AT VILLAGE HALL AT 7:00PM. AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW THE TAX RATE WILL INCREASE .13 CENTS PER THOUSAND, WHICH IS LESS THAN ½ OF 1%. I WILL PREPARE A COMPARISON PRESENTATION FOR THE PUBLIC SHOWING THE CHANGES IN OUR BUDGETS OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.
WATERSTONE SIDEWALK – WE MET WITH THE COUNTY ENGINEERS AND THE COUNTY DPW ON THE PLANS AND THEIR OWNERSHIP OF THE BRIDGE. WE WENT OVER THE FEASIBILITY OF CHANGING THE SIDEWALK CONFIGURATION ON THE BRIDGE.

HE HAS BEEN A GREAT PARTNER AND KNOWS GREENWOOD LAKE VERY WELL AND HE HAS ASSURED US THAT THERE IS SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS COMING OUT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS THAT IS EARMARKED FOR LAKE MANAGEMENT IN THE STATE. HE THINKS GREENWOOD LAKE WILL HAVE A GREAT CHANCE OF GETTING SOME OF THAT FUNDING.
NEW BUSINESS
CODE COMMITTEE ITEMS – MAYOR DWYER STATED TRUSTEE SELLIER IS WORKING ON PUTTING THIS COMMITTEE TOGETHER AND THEY ARE WORKING ON GETTNG ALL OF THE OUTDATED CODES THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENTED TO THE VILLAGE BOARD OR THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS BEING PROBLEMATIC. THIS COMMITTEE WILL REVIEW THEM AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE VILLAGE BOARD.
WINDERMERE AVENUE SIDEWALKS – THIS HAS BEEN A BATTLE FOR MANY YEARS TO TRY AND REPLACE AND MAINTAIN OUR SIDEWALKS ON WINDERMERE AVENUE. AFTER OUR ENGINEER HAS SPOKEN TO CHIPS AND THE DOT WE FEEL CONFIDENT THAT CHIPS FUNDING MAY BE USED TO FIX SIDEWALKS ON OUR MAIN STREET. WE WILL CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION. ONE OF THE IDEAS WE CAME UP WITH WAS DOING SOME KIND OF GRANT PROGRAM. THE VILLAGE WOULD GIVE AN 80% GRANT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER WHO WOULD CONTRIBUTE 20%. WE UNDERSTAND THE FINANCIAL BURDEN THAT COMES WITH DETERIORATING SIDEWALKS. WHEN WE GET DEFINITIVE CONFIRMATION THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY USE THIS MONEY FOR SIDEWALKS WE WILL LET YOU KNOW.
PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR.
NANCY DEANGELO – MANY PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF ALL THE WORK THE LIONS CLUB DOES. WE ARE HAVING A SLICED STEAK DINNER ON APRIL 10TH AND TICKETS CAN BE OBTAINED FROM ANY LIONS CLUB MEMBER OR SHARON GEHLER.

NANCY DEANGELO – THE TRIANGLE PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, IS THAT THE PIECE THAT USED TO BE OWNED BY PAT CAMPBELL?
ATTORNEY BUCKHEIT – NO, THIS PIECE WAS OWNED BY RESIDENTS ON OLD DUTCH HOLLOW. WHEN THE COUNTY REORGANIZED THE ROADS IT LOST ITS OLD TAX ID NUMBER AND THE COUNTY TOOK OVER OWNERSHIP OF IT.
MANNY TIRADO – THE CHIPS FUNDING THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT USING FOR THE SIDEWALKS ON WINDERMERE WOULD THAT BE USED ON A FINANCIAL NEED BASIS?
MAYOR DWYER – I DON’T THINK WE HAVE THE MEANS TO DETERMINE WHO IS FINANCIALLY PROFITABLE AND WHO IS NOT.
ATTORNEY BUCKHEIT – THE ONE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS WE DON’T WANT TO DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM FIXING THEIR SIDEWALK, WE WANT TO MAKE IT EASIER.
MAYOR DWYER- THIS IS JUST THE START OF THE CONVERSATION.
NANCY DEANGELO – IS THERE A PLAN IN PLACE FOR WHAT THE VILLAGE BOARD WANTS THOSE SIDEWALKS TO LOOK LIKE?
MAYOR DWYER – NOT YET. WE ARE JUST GOING TO FIND OUT IF IT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR CHIPS FUNDING. THEN WE WILL LOOK AT SPECIFICS. WE WOULD WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE THE OPTION OF PAVERS OR CONCRETE.
ROBIN DUNLOP – IS IT COMMON TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING AND A PLANNING BOARD MEETING ON THE SAME NIGHT?
MAYOR DWYER – FOR A PUBLIC HEARING YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE PROPER NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
TRUSTEE SELLIER – ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT WHEN THEY OPEN UP THE PLANNING BOARD MEETING TO THE PUBLIC?
ROBIN DUNLOP – THIS COMING WEEK THERE IS A PUBLIC HEARING AND A PLANNING BOARD MEETING ON THE SAME NIGHT.
MAYOR DWYER – THAT IS THE SAME THING WE DID TONIGHT. WE HAD A PUBLIC HEARING EARLIER AND THAT HAS TO HAVE BEEN NOTICED TO THE PUBLIC SO THAT THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD.
ROBIN DUNLOP I DIDN’T KNOW IF THEY NEEDED TIME TO PROCESS WHAT IS SAID AT THE HEARING INSTEAD OF HAVING THE MEETING 20 MINUTES AFTER.
MAYOR DWYER – LETS SAY THEY HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING AND DECIDE THIS IS CRAZY, THEY CAN GO INTO THEIR GENERAL MEETING AND SAY WE ARE GOING TO TABLE THIS UNTIL NEXT MONTH.
CAROLE FLOOD – ARE THE GUARDRAILS THAT ARE DOWN ON MOUNTAIN LAKES LANE BEING REPLACED?
ATTORNEY BUCKHEIT – YES THAT IS THE VILLAGE PROPERTY THAT WAS DAMAGED THAT I MENTIONED.
CAROLE FLOOD – SO WE CAN’T REPAIR IT UNTIL THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAYS?
ATRORNEY BUCKHEIT – WE CAN REPAIR IT. I HAVE ASKED DPW FOR AN ESTIMATE. THE REPAIR IS NOT CONTINGENT ON GETTING PAID.
MAYOR DWYER – WE DON’T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO THAT AND WILL HAVE TO HIRE SOMEONE TO DO IT. THE GUARDRAIL IS STILL THERE, JUST DAMAGED,
ATRORNEY BUCKHEIT – WINTER IS NOT THE BEST TIME TO REPAIR SOMETHING LIKE THAT EITHER.
