Supervisor Reed - Aye.
Thereafter, the Resolution was declared unanimously carried
and duly ADOPTED.
Debra Alessi, who said she lives in New Hartford, stated she has serious issues with the New Hartford Police Department and she alluded to her journal entries in 2007 and 2008 and witness statements. Ms. Alessi claims that the Police have refused to meet with her. She’s discussed this matter with the Oneida County District Attorney’s office; and upon advice of a D.D.A, she sent a restricted-delivery letter to the Police Chief and to the Town Supervisor on June 20, 2008 and she hasn’t had a response from either official. She claims someone is stalking her and the Police Department doesn’t do anything about it. Ms. Alessi said the D.A. wants her to let the Town Board know that her life is in danger. Ms. Alessi also claimed that Officer Michael Inserra has refused to take a statement from her. Town Supervisor Reed and Councilman Reynolds informed Ms. Alessi that her letter had been referred to the Police Commission, which has jurisdiction over the Police Department. Councilman Reynolds believes it’s appropriate to have the Police Commission review the letter and submit their findings to the Town Board. She stated that she would hold the Town accountable if anything happened to her. Upon the Supervisor’s inquiry about having her lawyer involved, Ms. Alessi said she’s meeting with District Attorney Scott McNamara on Wednesday (July 16, 2008). Supervisor Reed suggested that her lawyer should be dealing with D.A. Scott McNamara and stated that he would be willing to meet with the District Attorney.

Councilwoman Krupa - Aye

Supervisor Reed - Aye.

Codes
Enforcement Officer:
Hiring Process - Part-time Zoning Officer
Upon request of Codes Enforcement Officer Joseph Booth, Councilman Payne offered the following Resolution for adoption; seconded by Councilman Reynolds:
(RESOLUTION NO.
170 OF 2008)
RESOLVED that the New Hartford Town Board does hereby authorize and direct Codes Enforcement Officer Joseph Booth to begin the hiring process for a Part-time Zoning Officer whose duties shall include, but not be limited to, property maintenance issues, addressing illegal swimming pools that have been erected, and enforcing the Town’s sign legislation and prohibition of signs in the public right of way.
Codes Officer Booth stated that this is a budgeted position that would pay Eight Thousand Dollars ($8,000) per year, part-time. Whereupon, the Town Board members voted as follows:

Councilwoman Krupa - Aye
Councilman Reynolds - Aye
Councilman Woodland - Aye
Councilman Payne - Aye
Supervisor Reed - Aye.
Thereafter, the Resolution was declared unanimously carried and duly ADOPTED.
Sign Legislation (Town Code, Chapter 118 [Zoning])
Codes Officer Booth reported that the Sign legislation in the Zoning Law has been well received and it appears there is a voluntary compliance. Contrary to articles in the Observer Dispatch, he noted a silent compliance with area realtors. There are some problems with non-compliance on Kellogg Road through. The Zoning Law Advisory Committee is still active and can review any problems that might arise.
Linda of real estate company Coldwell Banker stated there is a professional group of realtors in this area and she wanted the Town Board to consider the very nature of real estate signs, that they’re temporary and that directional signs are helpful for out-of-the- way homes. She understands that realtors and the Town don’t want signs to be obtrusive or distasteful and hopes the Town re-thinks it in some way. Also, “Open House” signs are an integral part of selling a home and these signs are temporary; she suggested perhaps these signs could be erected half an hour before an Open House and remain not more than half an hour after the Open House. Another realtor, JoAnne, had the same concerns. Linda suggested asking neighboring property owners if they’d mind a directional sign on their property and if ok, they let it be. Codes Officer Booth will bring this matter before the Advisory Committee for their review.
Highway
Superintendent:
Oneida Street Parking
The Highway Superintendent, Police Chief and Councilman Payne have discussed a parking situation on Oneida Street, near the Garden Home mobile home park and Highway Superintendent Cleveland proposed a no parking resolution and public hearing. The Town Clerk and Highway Superintendent will meet to prepare the necessary local law that can be introduced at the August 2008 Town Board meeting, with a public hearing to be scheduled in September 2008.
Jewell Ridge
Upon recommendation of the Highway Superintendent, Councilman Payne offered the following Resolution for adoption; seconded by Councilman Reynolds:
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING
July 9, 2008
Page 5
(RESOLUTION NO. 171 OF 2008)
WHEREAS, the developer for Jewell Ridge, Phase I, would like to acquire additional building permits; and
WHEREAS, the developer has met with Town Officials, and the Town Attorney has reviewed a proposed Agreement for Phase I, Jewell Ridge;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the New Hartford Town Board does hereby authorize and direct the
Town Supervisor to sign an Agreement between the Town of New Hartford and the
Jewell Ridge developer/subdivision that would allow the issuance of additional
building permits, although this subdivision has not completed the road
dedication process and the fact that there are other outstanding deficiencies,
but contingent upon the
following:
·
That the Town receives certain satisfaction in
the form of a bond for uncompleted work
· That the Town will withhold the issuance of Certificates of Occupancy until all deficiencies are remedied
· That the developer pre-deposit with the Town an amount of money for the testing company to core the road for thickness of materials and type of materials installed.
Upon questioning of a Board member about possible failure of the road to comply with Town regulations, Highway Superintendent Cleveland stated the developer could be asked to remove the road pavement materials and start from “scratch”, or the Town could refuse to accept the road as public highway. Thereafter, Supervisor polled the Town Board members who voted as follows:
Councilwoman Krupa - Aye
Councilman Reynolds - Aye
Councilman Woodland - Aye
Councilman Payne - Aye
Supervisor Reed - Aye.
Thereafter, the Resolution was declared unanimously carried and duly ADOPTED.

area and the Woodberry-Beechwood sub-area; both meetings were well attended and a number of people expressed interest in having their water problems investigated. In some cases, there concerns were very localized and in others they relate to improvements the Town wants to undertake.
In the Woodberry-Beechwood sub-area, the issue of infiltration/inflow emanating from private property was also introduced. The Town will be working with Councilman Reynolds and furnishing the sub-area with additional information on the matter, the concern being that the Town wants to do the stormwater improvements only once and not have to come back a short period of time once the improvements are complete to further construction to accommodate water that is currently going into the sanitary sewer which will need to be taken out of the sanitary system and put into the storm sewer system.
Councilman Payne noted that Mr. & Mrs. Long were present about their stormwater problem and he asked the Highway Superintendent to update them after the meeting.
Councilman Payne also noted that in the Whitetail Meadows development near Oneida Street, some retaining walls are starting to deteriorate.

Councilwoman Krupa - Aye
Councilman Reynolds - Aye
Councilman Woodland - Aye
Councilman Payne - Aye
Supervisor Reed - Aye.
Thereafter, the Resolution was declared unanimously carried and duly ADOPTED.

Higby Road Water District
Highway Superintendent Cleveland renewed discussion of several meetings ago about property owners in the Higby Road Water District who did not receive bills and should have. Superintendent Cleveland requested the Town Board’s consensus of how to pursue this matter. Contact had been made with another municipality(ies) which experienced a similar occurrence and their decision was to begin billing the property owners in the second year, rather than charging back for the first year. The Highway Superintendent inquired whether the Town Board wants to pursue this or not; he is willing to have a conversation with Board members on this matter involving approximately a dozen property owners [out of about 350 owners in the District]. Any changes need to be submitted to the Assessor’s Office not later than March 1, 2009 for billing in 2010. It was the consensus of the Town Board to review this.

Old Paris Road sewer
Highway Superintendent Cleveland acknowledged that Mr. Hund was present regarding a petition for sewer service on [upper] Old Paris Road. The Superintendent inquired whether the Town Board wanted to stay with standard protocol and create a separate sewer district that only the service area [in this instance, 6-7 homes] would be responsible for the debt service, OR expand the Consolidated Sewer District to include this area into Consolidated Sewer District with the properties in the new service area. This new service area would help to pay for and fund any sewer charges anyplace in the Town. When the Consolidated Sewer District was formed in the early 1990’s, it was the idea that when new areas came into the District, they would help everyone in the long run. Highway Superintendent Cleveland said that any property outside the Consolidated Sewer District that receives sewer service is served by agreement and is subject to the same charges as those properties within the district, being immediately subject to special district charges for sewer operation and maintenance as well as being included in the Consolidated Sewer District for the purposes of debt service; there are no special rates.
Of the six (6) properties involved, Mr. Hund said five (5) had signed the petition. Resident Cathy Lawrence inquired if everyone who signed the Petition doesn’t have sewers. Highway Superintendent Cleveland and Councilman Woodland acknowledged that one (1) property owner in the proposed service area currently has sewer service by a License Agreement with the Town. Councilman Reynolds will meet with the Highway Superintendent to discuss the matter further.
Request for Executive Session
The Highway Superintendent requested an Executive Session at the end of the meeting to discuss contract negotiations for land acquisition.
A Fireworks Permit Application had been filed in the Town Clerk’s Office on July 7, 2008; however, after reviewing the Application and contacting the applicant, the Town Clerk learned that this would be a private display to celebrate double 50th birthdays. Therefore, Councilwoman Krupa offered the following Resolution for adoption; seconded by Councilman Payne:
(RESOLUTION NO.
176 OF 2008)
WHEREAS, Section 405 of the New York State Penal Law allows the issuance of Fireworks Permits only to municipalities, fair associations, amusement parks and organizations of individuals;
