OLD BUSINESS

The Board discussed applying for a New York State Adirondack Smart Growth Grant for $100,000 to develop a regional economic development plan for the Corinth area as well as the Corinth Mills Industrial Park (former IP property).  This plan would tie in Corinth with other tourism areas in the region.  The Village should have no out-of-pocket expenses with this grant and there is no match required.  The Village is the applicant and the Town of Corinth would be a co-applicant.  Trustee Lescault stated that she would like to see SEDC involved in any committee meetings for the grant.

Resolution #71 approved mayoral signature on application and all grant documents for grant funds from the APA Smart Growth Program.

There will be a special meeting of the Village Board on Wednesday, January 9, 2007 at the firehouse at 6:00 PM to discuss infrastructure grant programs with Jason Denno of the Environmental Facilities Corporation.

NEW BUSINESS

Atty Auffredou briefed the Board on the amended stipulation of settlement with Curtis/Palmer Hydroelectric Company, the Town and Village Boards and the Corinth School District.  The original agreement was reached in December of 2006 and was acceptable to all parties.  At the suggestion of Saratoga County, the new agreement includes a procedure for remedying over or under payments to guarantee the proper amount is paid each year.

Resolution #72 approved authorizing Atty Auffredou to sign the amendment to the agreement with EPCOR (Curtis/Palmer Hydroelectric Company).

Upon consensus of the Board the Village Hall and DPW employees will have a half day off on Monday December 31, 2007.

Motion by Trustee Denno, seconded by Trustee Lescault that the Board adjourn, 10:45 AM.
