Village Board Minutes

May 8, 2010 (65)

A special meeting of the Village Board was held May 8, 2010 at 9:00 AM in the firehouse, 16 Saratoga Ave.

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, Clerk/Treas Colson; Dissolution/Shared Services Cmte Members Bill Fuller & Kevin Granger.

The Board and assembled members of the Dissolution/Shared Services Committee discussed in detail the Fiscal Analysis prepared by CGR.  Several items were identified by the Board and members of the committee as needing more clarification or further research.

  • Treasurer’s office duties: the Town representatives have stated the Town Clerk’s office can assume the functions of the Village Clerk’s office for an additional cost of approximately $20,000.  There has been no determination of how the Treasurer’s functions would be handled.
  • CGR sites a $20,000 decrease in the cost of worker’s compensation.  The group questioned how that number was reached and what positions it represented.
  • The Board would like more clarification of fire protection districts vs. fire districts.
  • The Board questioned how ownership of the Parks would be transferred; Pagenstecher Park’s deed very specifically states it must be used by the Village for the enjoyment of the residents.  The Board questioned whether the Village would have the legal right to transfer the deed.  Mayor Winslow also stated the New York State Parks Commission may need to be involved.
  • The group questioned whether in the event of dissolution if the Reservoir property (watershed property) would be owned by the water district and if the cost to repair the dam would then be borne by the district.  The Board also questioned what that would mean to the grant awarded the Village that is intended to defray the costs.
  • More detailed information on the water & sewer districts are necessary to determine what costs would be allotted to the districts.  There were questions about the number of districts, if each district would be responsible for there own repair and replacement costs, etc.
  • The Board also stated they would like to have CGR work on the asset list.

Motion by Trustee Lescault, seconded by Trustee Denno that Board adjourn, 11:00 AM.
Carried – 4 – 0
