 PUBLIC COMMENTS, QUESTIONS & CONCERNS

Christine Morreale, Center Street, addressed the Board regarding a garbage memo recently mailed to residents. Ms. Morreale asked for clarification and suggested that the Board consider using different language when directing residents on how to store refuse containers.

Mayor Miller clarified that the intended purpose of the garbage memo was to encourage residents to stop leaving refuse containers curbside on a continual basis.

Mary Ann Morreale, Center Street, asked that the Board remove the term “invisible” be removed from Village Code wording when referring to storage of refuse containers as to avoid confusion amongst Village residents.

Mayor Miller and Attorney Buettner stated that new language could be added to Village Code at a future meeting.

Jim Murray, Center Street, agreed with not using the term “invisible” when referring to storage of refuse containers as it would be hard for certain residents.

Jason Petrovich, Pine Street, asked what progress had been made with installing a 4-way intersection at Center and Mechanic Street.

Trustee Clark stated that he was able to obtain and review data from the past 5-6 years from Saratoga County on the location and found that statistically, only around 1 vehicle accident occurs at the location per year on average. Trustee Clark stated that this may not justify the installation of a 4-way stop at the intersection.
Mary Ann Morreale, Center Street, requested that if the Village utilizes cameras in the future, that a camera be placed at the Elementary School entrance on Center Street as she has witnessed individuals using the entrance as an exit.            

Jason Petrovich, Pine Street, asked if cameras the Board was considering installing would have license plate reading technology. Trustee Clark stated that these cameras would not have the ability to do so.
