ment to Chesterlyn Pipeline Company for Dryden Water District #1 , and
presented it for audit . He further reported that the bill was for
$ 10 , 966 . 40 , that a bill for $ 2 , 613 . 80 was due the Highway Department
f or labor and mileage paid out of that fund for .: Supervision , 5% must
be retained in the account - $ 5 , 284 . 48 leaving a balance of $ 3 , 737 . 40 .
H e felt that the $ 5 , 284 . 48 should be put into a Certificate of Deposit
to come due when the Contract ( one year from start of project ) comes
due along with some money from the balance of $ 3 , 737 . 40 . At present
he felt he could buy a Certificate for about $ 8 , 000 . 00 . The Board
• Members at this time felt that everything was in order to pay the final
bill to the Contractor . 4,
Supervisor Todd stated that each Board Member would find in front of
them an estimate for next years budget which each must fill out and
return to the Town Clerk between September 20th - 30th 1967 . He asked
when the Board felt they would like to get together and have a budget
meeting . Date decided upon - Wednesday September 20 , 1967 . Supervisor
Todd reported that this would be a good time as the Recreation Committee
was meeting September 18th and he would have their budget by then .
Supervisor Todd read a letter from T . G . Miller in which Mr . Miller
informed the Town Board that our application for Aid had been reviewed
by the Federal People in September , and a verbal okay had been given
f or aid on the Pumping Stations and Forced Mains .
Supervisor Todd read a letter he had received from Mr . Charles Collins ,
Sr . asking the Town of Dryden to take over the Dump . His first request
had been for six loads of Bank Run Gravel per week , then he asked that
the Town take over and perhaps charge the different Town ' s , Village ' s ,
Cornell etc . for dumping there . The Board felt they could not do this ,
and since it was not in the Contract with Mr . Collin ' s they would go on
paying per month for dumping at his site . Supervisor Todd further
reported that the County was making application for funds for a County
W aste Study , however , this would take time. .
Supervisor Todd reported that he had spoken to Mr . Thorpe , Commissioner
of the Recreation Commission as requested at the last Board Meeting and
asked for an inventory of Equipment and a Year End Report . Mr . Thorpe
stated that he would . give the Town an accounting of equipment . It was
being stored along with the Kiwanis Summer Equipment in a separate room
at the School , and this would eliminate any lose of equipment . A report
would be filed after the September 18th meeting along with the Budget .
Supervisor Todd reported that he had met with Mr . Sebring and the appliea -
tion had been made to the State and hopefully the Town would be reim-
bursed its $ 1 , 000 . 00 . Councilman Newhart reported that the people in his
area requested that in the future they have their own program , although
the summer program was nice it was to far and transportation was a problem .
Councilman Lee informed Councilman Newhart that all he needed to do was
send the representative from that area to the Recreation Meeting Sept .
18th and should be taken care of . Councilman Lee informed the Board that
the representative from the Varna Area is Mr . Ward Miller .
Supervisor Todd informed the Board that he would like to read a copy of 0
a letter sent to Mr . William Kerr , Chairman of the Equalization Committee
per their request last Board Meeting regarding the continuing updating
of the Cleminshaw reappraisal . He then read the answer from Mr . Kerr
which stated that this problem has been discussed on several occasions
in Committee and commented on at Supervisor ' s Meetins , and while the
original resolution called for a continuing reappriasal program , it did
not specify what form this program would take . The alternatives were
that an outside firm be retained periodically , various areas of the
County be reappraised annually , and that a County Assessment Department
be created . He felt that none of the Supervisor ' s would favor an outside
firm , various segments of the County was not feasible , and a County
Assessing Department could not be created immediately . The Board felt
the letter said nothing specific and they were no further ahead then
they had been .

H ighway Superintendent Case was present and asked the Board to
consider the purchase of a 4 - Wheel Drive Snow Plow and Cinder Spreader
These two pieces of equipment have been needed for the last two or three
years , as the Highway Department was short one rig and they had been
d oing a lot of double tripping . This year they would have to take over
the Snyder Hill Section , and some new roads and with one more piece
of equipment some of the runs would not be so late in the day . Councilman
O gden asked what Highway Superintendent Case felt the price would be
f or this equipment ? Mr . Case felt that the two pieces of equipment
would be approximately $ 35 , 000 . 00 .. Supervisor Todd stated that at the
present time he did not feel they would have to Bond for this equipment
that with the money in the Machinery Account and the General Fund
that it could be paid for at the end of the year . '
