Public Comment: Questions were raised regarding the salaries for highway workers, who is going to pay DEC fines for Sleepy Hollow and what is next after fine is paid to DEC? Questions and comments regarding the penalty from income tax withholding for the town and questions about public comment. The bridge on St. Rt. 104 in Fruit Valley will be closed on or around April 1st for 4 months, also the public comments made two years ago were never made public and one resident was wondering where this report is. Water line questions for property on St. Rt. 104 were brought up again, the property owner feels something should be done about the right a way problem.
