Town Clerk’s Report: The November fees paid to the Supervisor was $947.33 total for the month $2203.45. At my last District Directors meeting there was discussion regarding consolidation of tax collectors and receivers. This would change the home rule for the towns and take away this part of town government. The NYS Town Clerk’s Association and NYS Tax Collectors and Receivers are against this move.

Supervisor's Report: Please remain standing for a moment of silence for Mrs. Mahaney’s brother who passed away on Friday.

As 2007 comes to an end, we will be saying so long to two of our Town representatives. Carol Pritchard will be leaving us after four years of service as a Town Board member. We are sad to see her go, and are very thankful to her for the time she served the people in our town. We all wish her well in her retirement.

We are also saying goodbye to Mr. Charles Sabin. Mr. Sabin is a rare find, how fortunate this town has been to have him represent us as a Town Board Member, a County Legislator and an Assessor. Mr. Sabin is a member of the Oswego Town Historical Society was member of the Oswego Town Fire Department.

He served the town in so many ways, and we are thankful for his dedication.

Tonight we congratulate Mr. Mark Wilcox, our new Highway Superintendent, Mark comes to us with over 25 years of service in our highway department, and Mr. Dan Shaver our new town board member…… has served this community as a assitant chief in our Fire Dept for years. Good luck to everyone.

Public Comment: None

Old Business: Councilor DeSacia will oversee the cemetery, Councilor Herrmann will oversee Code Enforcement and Mr. Shaver after taking office will oversee highway and buildings and grounds, Councilor Mahaney will work with zoning and planning.
