Village Board Minutes

April 1, 2010 (54)

A budget meeting of the Village Board was held April 1, 2010 at 5:00 PM in the Village Hall, 244 Main Street.

Mayor Winslow called the meeting to order.

Roll Call: Trustee Denno, Trustee Densmore, Trustee Enekes & Trustee Lescault were present.
Also Present: Supt Lozier, Chief Kelley, Asst Chief Kevin Granger & Clerk/Treas Colson

The Board discussed the water & sewer budgets and determined the proposed budget with an increase of $24 per year for water rent and an increase of $4 per year for sewer rent will be presented at the public hearing.

The Board discussed the fire department budget extensively; numerous cost saving ideas were debated.  The Board ultimately decided that the most equitable determination of the fire protection contract fee paid by the Town of Corinth is assessment based.  Clerk/Treas Colson used the assessment information provided by the Town to determine an assessment rate of $0.92 per thousand for Village and Town outside the Village residents.  The Board accepted this plan as an equitable determination of fire protection cost.

It was agreed upon by the Board that the budget that will be presented at the public hearing on April 7, 2010 will contain a proposed tax rate of $5.57 per thousand and a projected appropriated fund balance of $283,488.

Motion by Trustee Lescault, seconded by Trustee Denno that Board adjourn, 6:10 PM.
Carried – 4 – 0
