Mr Relyea - All they are doing is renovating something that had been started a number of years ago . The number of bedrooms contained in the two buildings will be the same as - when bought the property in 1973 . In terms of the area it will be an improvement . • The building was architecturally redesigned for rehabilitation by Bill Harris their company architect and it complies with ' all of the state and local regulations . One area outlined in red is that they will be utilizing an additional 14 acres to conform with the Health Dept requirement for 24 acres for the number of bedrooms that they will have in this location . Since they are the contiguous property owner they can convey that land to themselves . . Supv Cotterill wanted to know if he had received Health Dept approval yet ? Mr Relyea - not at this time because this is in the review process with them . This falls under a licensed engineers category in terms of construction . The local Health Dept does not do this anymore . All the necessary applications for permits have been filed . • Closed public hearing : 7 : 40PM TOWN BOARD MEETING JUNE 8 , 1982 Minutes of the Town Board meeting held on June 8th Supv Cotterill called the meeting to order at 7 : 40 PM Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance Roll call was by the Town Clerk : Present : Supv Cotterill ; Clm Me.tger ; Cim Webb Atty Perkins and Z .

They are going. to all of the towns requesting an increase in their local dog license fee , as a way of offsetting dog control . He gave the various reasons for the increase : 1 - dog control non -renewal list 2- they provide summons , they fill them out and bring them to the Town Clerk ' s Office that have • to do with delinquent dog owners 3- other types of accusatory instruments for various violations with dogs 4- postage for the non- renewal list which has to be filed bi -monthly 5- mileage on the trucks and equipment that they use 6 answering service that they have available 7- maintenance on the equipment that they have 8- shelter facility that they operate in terms of dog control , various elements that go into that such as disinfecting , dog food , staff time , cruelty investigations 9 - lost and found reports 10- liaison meetings to talk with the towns about dog problems that they might have 11 - dangerous dog reports and follow up 12- training of their personel and uniforms 13- they also provide 24 hours emergency service which goes along with dog control 14- NYS Albany report that they have to file every month 15 - dog control patrol and the education to the public about NYS dog control law . They felt that it was time to go to the different towns and let them know their concerns . There was some discussion and was decided to see how many unneutered and unspayed compared to the spayed and neutered and to make the local fee higher for the unspayed • and unneutered . Supv Cotterill wanted to know what type of impoundment fee they were charging? Don Lowe - $ 10 . 00 for the first time the dog is picked up ; $ 20 . 00 for the second time and $ 30 . 00 for the third time plus they charge $ 3 . 00 a day board for the animal after notification . Clm Webb wanted to know if the SPCA received any money from the county for dog control ? Don Lowe - they receive money from the county for non-dog control . They will ask the county this year for an increase since they haven ' t been given one for sometime . He doesn ' t like to mix the 2 (dog control and other animal control ) because it is difficult for him to break them down . Clm Webb wanted to make sure that dog control money was not paying for everything . Supv Cotterill wanted to know if the SPCA was charging the people for non -dog complaints when they go out to their property ? Don Lowe - they can ' t charge because they have a contract with the county for non - dog animal complaints . The . only way then can increase is through the contract .

Letter from the Village of Dryden regarding repair work on the Lewis St . bridge . The Dryden Village Board passed a resolution at their last meeting requesting the Town of Dryden to repair the bridge . Supv Cotterill - quite sometime ago it was the understanding between the towns and the county that the county would be responsible for any bridge over 25 feet Or more in length . • Originally the underneath throat of the cement bridge Was 22 feet and the town has. since installed steel culverts 6 feet or more on either side of the bridge so it would now be some 30 feet from one side to the other . Supv Cotterill was wondering if this would constitute the county to have jurisdiction to that kind of a throat ? The town has increased the flow by extending the culverts on either ends of the bridge , but it isn ' t cemented into the cement structure . Whenever there is any work done on this bridge it should be extended to 30 feet and raised to give it capacity when the creek is high .
