Town
Clerk’s Report: The town clerk fees for August
were $6,373.55, $1,512.80 was paid to the Supervisor. Thank
you to the cemetery crew who fixed the steps leading up to Dr.
Mary Walker’s grave.
Supervisor's Report: Mr. Hogan and I have been
busy formulating our budget for 2008. We have met with several
departments heads and each understands that we are trying to
hold the line on spending. It is very important that any increase
in any ones budget will need to be justified. I will present
my budget to the town clerk before the 30th of September.
I am meeting with Mr. Wilcox on Wednesday to discuss ideas for
restructuring our town highway department. He has done an exceptional
job as acting Highway Superintendent these last 8 months, and
has great ideas on cost saving measures. Mr. Wilcox has fostered
unity and taken ownership for the complex. The improvement to
the appearance of the highway complex is a testimonial to the
dedication of our Highway Dept and our highway employees.
Our new snow plow should be delivered in December.
Generators both at the town hall and the Ontario Heights pumping
station were inspected in August.
Our SPEDES permit has been modified by the DEC for the Sleepy
Hollow Sewage Treatment plant to reflect the installation of
a new flow meter that will take more precise readings of the
effluent.
Congratulations to Councilor DeSacia for his ride in the tour
de Loop.
The town board will have a budget workshop on October 1st following
the regular town board workshop.
On Tuesday October 2nd at 7:00 pm at the town hall, there will
