 ROOF PERMITS

 Mayor Falci stated that in order to do a “roofing job” a permit is needed no matter what is being done. The fee for a permit in the Village is $50. The board will decide whether to keep this fee at the May 2010 meeting. The Mayor wanted it to be known that the Livingston roof on Seneca Rd. which had a permit fee of $50 returned, has now been paid.  There had been much controversy regarding why the Livingston’s did not have to pay the $50 fee for their new roof. Incorrect information had been given to the Mayor at the time and it became clear afterwards that Livingston’s should have paid the fee. In order to put to rest the controversy, Mayor Falci paid the fee. It is to be noted that at this time all roofing permits will have a fee of $50 until changes are made through the Board of Trustees.

 PHASE II – EXISTING VILLAGE HALL

The Mayor would like to have the DPW work on adding two new bathrooms and two new offices (Police chief’s office and Sherriff’s office). This would be done during the summer months. This will be placed on the May 2010 agenda.

ROPE HARNESS

State law (June 2009) requires the Village to have rope harnesses for our fire fighters. Trustee Dick noted that they are $635 per unit and the department is working with other fire departments to purchase the ropes  as a group in order to  receive a better price.

SIDEWALK BY BRIDGE

 Trustee Libordi would like to see the sidewalks on the bridge north of the village repaired. The Mayor has been in contact with Town Supervisor Ken Isaman regarding the repairs. Possibly this summer, work will  be done. It is the responsibility of the Town to maintain the bridge.

VILLAGE CODES – FEES

The Mayor will have a list of fees from other communities to use as a guide for developing Village fees. This will be placed on the May agenda.

NEWSLETTER – MAY

The Mayor would like to have a newsletter mailed the first part of May.
All articles must be into the Clerk by the April 26th.
The Mayor will have the shredder date and the spring clean up dates by April 16th
