VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS - SPECIAL MEETING
MINUTES of a Special Meeting held on August 22, 1983 at 7:30 p.m. in the Village
Hall.
PRESENT: Mayor F. G. Marcham; Trustees Ronald Anderson, DAvid Pimentel,
Jean Robinson; Engineer /ZO John Rogers; Attorney Roger Sovocool, Police Chief
Harlin Mc Ewen; Attorneys Hines and Ringwood; William Mc Cully; Mrs. Caren Baldini;
Mr. John Millier.
Discussion centered on the original Mobil Station -Mini Mart agreement and the
convenience items that were listed in it, and on the inventory of $Dods on sale
in the store when Mr. Rogers inspected it prior to the meeting.
The Board members stated that some of the goods on the shelves were not permitted
under the agreement, namely Packaged drugs; Soaps, personal care items; Soaps,
kitchen and laundry; Paper products; and Pet Foods.
It was agreed that some of the trouble that had arisen came from lack of information
on the part of the on- the -scene manager of the store. Mr. Mc Cully agreed that
responsibility regarding the items offered for sale rested with him and his
partner. Mr. Mc Cully and his attorneys withdrew at 8:40 p.m. after assuring the
Board that they would accept the Board's ruling on the non - permitted items, except for
Soap, personal care items (not Soap - kitchen and laundry) and if the Ice Making
coaching might be continued in use.
Board members then took up the list of items offered for sale and tried to find
ways in which to arrange the items already permitted in new categories and to
give individual items on the list more exact definition. At 9:45 P.m, the Board
turned over to the Attorney and the Mayor the job of arranging the categories and
providing the definitions. Each agreed to do his work separately and submit the
results to the Board for examination and comment.
Meeting adjourned at 9:40 p.m.
