Hearing:
Resolution 2003- 66 Be it resolved that the Oswego
Town Board opens the public hearing at 6:55 PM to hear all
interested parties for or against proposed Local Law 2003-3,

standard of two (2) coats of oil and stone equal to or above
current NYS standards. Moved by Councilor Pratt and seconded
by Councilor Mahaney. All ayes motion carried.

be the developer responsibility to pave the road before it
becomes a town road. Councilor Pratt spoke on behalf of this
local law that was presented by the planning board as a step
forward. Councilor Mahaney would like it to go a step further.

Town Clerk Report: Fees to the Supervisor $1415.48, total
for the month of May $1835.50. Thank you to all who attended
the Historical Society Memorial Day Service.
Supervisor's Report: The town will be holding a modified recreation
program this year in the park weather permitting. Parent Volunteers
will be working in the program this year. I will be discussing
the possibility of combining with the Town of Minetto next
year to save funds. Minetto has much better facilities for
running a summer program.
The Town of Oswego has received its tentative state equalization
rate for 2003, again this year the town equalized at 100 percent
value. This means the town is being assessed at the correct
value. These assessments are based on CURRENT market value.
The start date for construction is scheduled for June 15h
for the Highway Garage.
The pumps have been installed and are working well at Sleepy
Hollow
Specifications for rehabilitation of sewers is complete and
have been sent into the DEC for approval…. as soon as
I receive them I will put this project out to bid.
Mr. Carter and I will be meeting with FEMA next week to start
the paperwork for reimbursement from the ice storm.
I worked with the Assistant DA to set up community service
through the courts to work in our cemetery, highway, and park.
I would like to thank the cemetery crew for all their effort
in getting the cemetery in good shape for the historical societies’
Memorial Day program.
The supervisor’s office will have shortened hours during
July and August.
We will be closed Thursday and Friday at 1:00
I would like to say a very special thank you to Mr. Pratt
and Mrs. Cooper for stepping in during my illness.
