NEW BUSINESS

The Board discussed moving forward with the proposed infrastructure project of Heath St, Hill Ave, Main St & Sherman Ave by taking the necessary steps forward in the SEQR and funding processes.

Resolution #4 approved, the Board issued a Negative Declaration for the drinking water, sanitary sewer & storm sewer improvements along Heath St, Hill Ave, Main St & Sherman Ave.

Resolution #5 approved, authorizing the issuance of $3,800,000 serial bonds for the construction and reconstruction of wastewater collection infrastructure located on Heath Street, Hill Avenue, Main Street and Sherman Avenue, including the installation of mains, connections, and all necessary equipment, machinery, and apparatus: subject to permissive referendum.

Resolution #6 approved, authorizing the issuance of $2,900,000 serial bonds for the construction and reconstruction of drinking water distribution infrastructure located on Heath Street, Hill Avenue, Main Street and Sherman Avenue, including the installation of water distribution mains, water service connections, and all necessary equipment, machinery, and apparatus: subject to permissive referendum.

The Board reviewed a resolution supplying water to the new Terre Majestic Holding LLC/Terra Holdings LLC/Foothills Builders (FHB) subdivision in the Town of Corinth.  The Board agreed to reduce the service connection fee for each parcel from $3,500 to $300, in addition to the cost of the meter at the time of installation.

Resolution #7 approved, grant permission for FHB to connect to the Village Water Supply System with reduced service connection fee of $300 per lot plus cost of the meter when installed, payment of the minimum value charge per lot as required by Town and Village Water Code, subject to proof of dedication of new infrastructure to the Town of Corinth.

The Board discussed a recent issue at 9 Third St, Kubricky accidently turned on a water service that had been shut off resulting in a water/sewer bill of $3,812.79.  Don Rhodes, Laberge Group, informed the Board the current water shut off was not easily identifiable as it ran across another property.  Mr. Rhodes urged the Board to consider requiring Kubricky to install a new shut off for the property in the Third Street right of way in lieu of paying the water/sewer bill.  Cost of installing the new shut off would equal or exceed cost of the bill & would benefit the Village.

Resolution #8 approved, require John Kubricky & Sons to install a new water service to 9 Third Street inthe right of way on Third Street in exchange for waiving payment of first quarter water/sewer bill for 9 Third St of equal or lesser value.
