Ray Baker spoke on behalf of the Dryden Kidds Committee and Dryden Youth
Service and Recreation Commission . Mrs . Bobnick and the Dryden Kidds
Comm . approached the Town Board at a meeting last month requesting youth
service money for the Busy Bus Project . The consenus of the Rec . Comm .
was that this project was worthy of the support from the Town of Dryden .
The committee recommended that $ 1500 be alI'otted from Youth Service Fund
which would be matching funds of theirs . This is to be allotted. on a
tr4al basis for a period of 1 year only . Also the Village of Dryden would
contribute $ 1000 which would make a total of $ 2500 . . Mrs . Bobnick requested
S $ 500 more and Mr . Baker said that it would be strictly up to the Town
Board as to what amount they felt would be appropriate .

was going and how it is to be used . At the moment they are going where

homes , and trailer parks . They have made a list of places where there
are children with the help from the public health nurse and Head Start .

where the bus will go . Clm Graham was wondering if they could get a
progress report by March to let the Town Board know how the program was
-

working out . Clm Cotterill was wondering if this was the responsibility
for the taxpayer of the town to do this type of thing . He does not feel
this is going to benefit every taxpayer in the town .

Youth Services . Mr . Baker said that there was .

Jim Calhoun from the soil conservation approached the board about passing
a resolution that the Town Board agrees to sponsor easements to get on
residents property to do work . The main difference is that maintenance
now falls to the town or unit of government . This is designed for the
normal flow of water , but not like the flood in July . Mr . Calhoun left
the contracts for the Town Atty to look over .
Mr . Reynolds reported the EMC has been concerned about the flooding
situation in Dryden and Caroline . The DEC issued a permit to correct
the flood damage from July 11th . The channelization work proceeded and
was questioned by experties by a petition . The work was then stopped .
Mr . Reynolds was requested by the EMC to contact the Town of Dryden to
see if they would cooperate with the Town of Caroline in making some
kind of - a program to stop erosion in a systematic manner . He recommended
a commission from the Town of Dryden and Caroline to see if something
could be worked out and presented to the soil conservation service or
erosion control .

. \
Gentlemen :
'. The Dryden Town Board has - not been satisfied with your services ,
and your promises that you have never kept . The Town Board took
you at your word when you requested an increase last year . You
promised that the extension on Route # 38 would be completed six
months from the date of adoption for the franchise which was on
J une 8 , 1976 . The citizens were told this and as of yet you have
not met your obligations .
The Town Board is very disturbed about this . It seems that in
June you knew you would be needing equipment yet in November
you still didn ' t have the equipment .
If the Town of Dryden cannot get better service the Town Board
has no other alternative but to contact the New York State
Commission on Cable Television .
S incerely ,
Susanne Lloyd
