REPORTS OF TOWN OFFICIALS

 

Highway Superintendent:

 

Sewer Extension Request – Paris Road

Highway/Sewer Superintendent Roger Cleveland received a letter dated December 19, 2007 from Mr. Hund, Paris Road, requesting sewer service to his and an adjoining property (Koury) through the consolidated sewer district.  Superintendent Cleveland recommended that the Standing Committee on Public Works and Sewer investigate this request and report to the Town Board.  It needs to be determined whether the property owners are included in an existing sewer district that would pay for the improvements, or whether the property owners would bear the expense.  There is no sanitary sewer service on New Paris Road (aka NYS Route 12) that’s readily accessible.  The Town Board concurred with the Superintendent’s recommendation.

Town Clerk:

 

Traffic Study Report – Roberts Road

In response to the Town’s request in the Spring of 2007 for a lower speed limit on a section of Roberts Road, between Oneida Street and Mohawk Street, the Town Clerk received a letter from the NYS Department of Transportation that read, in part:  “Our study at Roberts Road (County Route 13) was jointly completed with the State Police.  This section of road has a 50 miles per hour speed limit at this time.  We found that the need for reducing the speed limit any further has not been met.

 

The Town Clerk has forwarded a copy of the State’s letter to Walter Dluginski, who had asked that the Town Board request a study.

 

MATTERS SUBMITTED BY COUNCILMEN

 

Councilman Payne:

 

Audit – Willowvale Fire Company, Inc.

With regard to Walter Dluginski’s statement at the December 12, 2007 Town Board meeting, that since the Willowvale Fire Company’s pension plan went through [Special Town Election on December 11, 2007] and they don’t account for any of their funds – incoming or outgoing – it’s the right of the Town Board to call for an audit of the Fire Company’s books and determine where the Fire Company stands with regard to the two (2) fire stations and whether they’ve been sold, to whom, for how much and whether for market value, Councilman Payne had contacted Willowvale Fire Chief William Hughes about conducting an audit of the Fire Company’s finances.  Chief Hughes has referred Councilman Payne to Gary Edwards, President of the Fire Company, whom he was unable to contact during the busy Holiday Season. 

 

Councilman Payne understood that the Town Supervisor has documentation that the Town Board has the authority to call for an audit and he asked the Town Clerk to obtain a copy of the letter and forward it to him.
