Town
Clerk's Report: The November fees paid to the Supervisor
were $430.91, total $1533.00. I attended a District Director’s
meeting in Fishkill, NY last weekend. At our meetings we discussed
the plans for the ’07 conference in Rochester, NY; also
we had two guest speakers Jim O’Connor from the Department
of Health and Dr. Jeffrey Huse from Ag & Markets. Tax bills
will go out December 30, 2006 if all goes well with the county
passing their budget on time.
Supervisor's Report: Tonight we will accept
the resignation of our highway superintendent Leon Carter. Mr.
Carter has decided to retire as of December 31st. Leon leaves
us after many years of service; we congratulate him on his retirement,
and wish him many years of riding his Harley, reading his novels,
and enjoying the sunshine in the south. I am sure he will soon
forget the many cold winters he spent making sure the town of
Oswego had the best roads in the county. He will be missed.
Tonight we will also extended our deputy superintendent Mark
Wilcox’s appointment Mr. Wilcox has over 20 years of experience
in our highway department, the town is fortunate to have a deputy
superintendent with the qualifications Mr. Wilcox has. Thank
you to Mr. Wilcox for agreeing to stay on as deputy.
The DEC did their annual inspection of the Sleepy Hollow sewage
Treatment plant, the plant was found to be “well operated
and maintained and is meeting the demands of the permit”
I would like to congratulate Mrs. Mahaney and the historical
society on the wonderful Christmas performance that was held
here in the town hall, featuring the Sounds of Brass. There
was a very good turnout for this event, I urge everyone to attend
these kinds of programs.
I would also like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Hogan, and Mr. Mullen
for all their help with our evening with Santa; we also had
a huge turnout!
I am very pleased that these community events can be held here
in our town hall.
We had 3- complaints for dog control in November. We issued
one demolition permits, and had 7 inspections.
Last week there was a snow day for the city school district,
I was able to come to the town hall early in the morning. I
was pleased to see the parking lot was completely cleared of
snow; the problem was the entrance to this building was not
shoveled or salted. I would like this town board to come up
with a solution to this problem, I shoveled the snow to allow
the residents a safe way into the town hall. There is no way
this town hall should be open to the public when the entrance
is not safe for residents. Either we get this problem taken
care of or this town hall should not be opened to the public
in that kind of weather. Please let me know your thoughts on
solving the problem.
Our end of year meeting is on December 27th at 630 pm.
Public Comment: The town should hire someone
to shovel the walk in front of town hall.
