With the proposed amount in the budget , the fire tax 'rate will be $ 1 . 45
per thousand - up 120 from last year according to Supr McCord . He further
stated that if they went along with the requested figures the fire tax
rate would be $ 1 . 91 .
Floor was open for questions and / or comments .
Varna Fire Company representative spoke relative to their increased
costs and the fact that they have no slush fund for purchasing firematic
equipment and supplies . He said the extra money they raise from their
• one day annual event went to purchasing bunkers in the - fire station .
He further stated that they are not putting any self - earned money in
their budget . He ask that the Board reconsider the $17 , 000 . 00 figure as
it is much needed in their budget to offer top flight fire protection
to the area they cover .
William Fellows representing Neptune Hose Company spoke relative to
being in the same situation as Varna . He noted that they are building
a new fire station . He said they are proposing to raise approximately
$8 , 000 and if they do not receive the $25 , 500 . 00 request , then they will
not be able to provide services as well as in the past .
Clm Cotterill commended the Freeville Company ( W . B . Strong ) for being
overly conservative in their estimate and felt they deserved an increase
if anyone . Cotterill also questioned if this was the time to raise
taxes .
6 4
Dick Blackman , representative of W . B . Strong Fire Company of Freeville ,
apologetically stated though it may make him unpopular with the, other
fire companies , he felt that all the companies should take a long hard
look at their expenditures and they would find that they are over
spending for fire protection . He said Freeville has taken this scrutiny
and realized that they have been able to eliminate some things that
were not absolutely essential to providing good fire protection .
Representatives from McLean said their request was based on a percentage
formula from the two townships . .
Ed Hill spoke relative to the - over - all tax rate being that there is a
580 proposed decrease , then the fire companies could pick up this slack
and still keep the general tax rate the same as last year .
Janet Graham inquired about the $2 , 726 . 00 unexpended balance in 1975 and
what it , is used for . Supr McCord said it goes toward insurance .
P UBLIC HEARING #2 TOWN BUDGET •
S upervisor McCord quoted the following summary totals of the budget :
Total appropriations $751 , 031 . 00 , less estimated revenues of $215 , 900 . 00
less unexpended balance of $103 , 882 . 00 equals $431 , 249 . 00 total amount
to be raised by taxes . Tax rate in the village will be $ 3 . 171 tax rate
outside the village will be $ 6 . 93 according to Supr McCord .
•
Floor was open to questions and /or comments .
S usanne Lloyd , newly elected town clerk , wanted to know how much of
the $5 , 200 . 00 is to be her salary and how much is to be used toward
deputies . She requested a breakdown . Supr McCord said that was up to
h er . Clerk Stelick informed the Board that they are putting Mrs . Lloyd
in the catagory as an employer and she would be liable for withholding
taxes as required by law . The Board insisted that this is not the case .
Mrs . Graham informed the Board that a teacher ' s aide at the Dryden
School is paid $ 3 . 00 per hour ; and the town clerk office will not be
able to offer the services as it has in the past without sufficient
h elp . Clm Joubert did not agree with McCord ' s reasoning and stated that
he could not go along with it . Supr McCord said the $5 , 200 . 00 reflects
an increase over the present town clerk salary and the reduction is
f or reduced help . Clm Cotterill said the extra $2 , 000 . 00 for tax
collector makes the job more attractive . Mrs . Graham wanted to know
what prompted the reasoning for cutting down on deputies . Supr McCord
said his idea is to have the clerk doing most all of the work herself .
Clm Joubert maintained that it looks like any salary for deputies has
been completely cut . Supr McCord said there is no intent to tie the
clerk ' s hands , he just feels that we can cut down on the use of deputies .
Clerk Stelick disputed his findings ; she commented that the Board should . !
walk in her - shoes for a days McCord said it is possible to transfer
money from contractual for personal services .
Discussion was had relative to the highway superintendent ' s salary .
S upr McCord said he determined a salary range of $8 , 500 to $ 14 , 500 after
reviewing the history of the previous highway superintendent salary .
He said the H . S . was making $9 , 500 . 00 in his 8th year of service ; and
when he started in 1961 , he started with a sAlary of $4 , 700 . 00 . Clm
Joubert said the proposed salary is an absolute ridiculous offer for
the responsibility . Joubert stressed a reasonable minimum of $ 12 , 000 . 00 .
He said the responsibility has grown and expenses has grown and he is
g oing to receive a substandard salary for this position . Clm . Cotterill
said a good manager can save the town lots of money and a new man will
put forth that extra effort to accomodate and feels its to low . He also
maintained that if a man does the productivity and is a good manager ,
then a salary of $15 , 000 to $ 18 , 000 would not be unreasonable . Gregory
Humphrey , newly elected highway superintendent , said that $9 , 500 . 00
is quite a raise to him and - he did not have any feelings one way or
another . John and Mary Basi expressed discontent with the low salary .
Supr McCord defended his salary scale as being reasonable .

According to Supr McCord the following will be the /cost for water charge :
720 assessed valuation

8 . 49 per unit
Sewer District #2
Supr McCord noted that it reflects a decrease of $ 1 . 00 per unit .
P UBLIC HEARING #4 RINGWOOD COURT
• Supr McCord noted that the rate per front foot reflects a decrease . The
rate in 1975 was 970 and is now proposed to be 800 per front foot . This
decrease is as a result from some people prepaying their share .
The Board did not take action . They have until November 20th to adopt
the budget according to Supr McCord .
