Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance Roll call was by Town Clerk Lloyd Present: Supv Schug, Clm Baker, Clm T. Hatfield, Clm C. Hatfield, Clm Roberts Atty Perkins and Z.O. Slater William Bailey from Bailey Insurance has written to Clm Roberts regarding workman's compensation which he has 3 quotes. 1 - is from Aetna for 857,122.00, 2 - State Insurance Fund for 856,191.00 and 3 - New York Municipal Insurance Reciprocal for 838,427.00. The problem in his mind with accepting NYMIR is the fact that a subscribers agreement would have to be signed. He would recommend that Atty Perkins look at the principle of this reciprocal. He is not opposed to this and should be something to be considered. He would like a representative from NYMIR attend a board meeting. This is a new approach to municipal insurance where the town would share your experience with other subscribers. He would recommend to the board that you continue with Aetna this year and have a representative from NYMIR speak to you. This will give the board an opportunity to find out more about this and whether or not you would be interested. The reason he did not recommend the State Insurance Fund (with a difference of 8931.00) was because there were no safety inspections or safety engineering. Aetna has in the past and will continue for this year and you have a 33 percent credit on your workman's compensation. Bill Bailey - they are working on a schedule of Jan. 24th to send out letters to Becker /Wells Ins., Cotterill Ins. and Bailey Ins. asking them to complete.the questionnaire by Feb. 7th. The bids will be received May 2nd and decision will be made at the May 9th board meeting.

Hatfield Roll call vote - all voting Yes �3g r-I LJ TB12 -28 -94 Page 2 Karl Hecht from Tompkins County Planning - went over information board members had received regarding grant money proposal. Applications are due by Feb 21st for housing projects which is administered through HUD. Communities can apply in categories of housing rehabilitation. The county has been writing grants for the loan programs. There is also a category for public facility water and sewer improvements. There is also a category for home ownership. In the housing rehabilitation program they have about 20 houses where they inspect potential cases, take pictures and work with them in what has to be done. This can be done on a town wide basis or can be done in targeted areas. It takes about 2 months after the grant has been filled out before the grant is received. The county has been doing these grants for several years and it costs them about $6,000.00 to put a grant together so the cost would be split with the town. The town would pay up to $3,000.00. Supv Schug - wanted to know if a grant application was put together based on housing, etc can you use some of that money for any other activity such a water or sewer lines. Karl Hecht - the town would be eligible to apply for $400,000.00 and you could apply for any broad category. You are allowed to apply in any of the categories and there would be a total cap. Once you do $200,000.00 in the sewer that would be fine. It would be two separate applications The end result is the same as long as everything is met. Clm T. Hatfield - you would first have to the guidelines and once it cycles through money can be used for any project approved Karl Hecht - that is correct. apply and meet all of the second time this activity. RESOLUTION #242 GRANT APPLICATION HUD Clm T. Hatfield offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that this Town Board authorize Supervisor Schug to spend up to $3,000.00 for a grant application. 2nd Clm Baker Roll call vote - all voting Yes Supv Schug - asked Mrs. Earle to put together a list of the uses and dates the West Dryden Community Center is being used. If the board decides not to use the building it should be boarded up because of the liability. Supv Schug - West Dryden has not shown any interest, but a lot of people use it. The question is does the town want to spend $53,000.00 plus the grant money. The money is to be spent to stabilize the building and make it usable. /37 a E 9 • Is TB12 -28 -94 Page 3 Clm Baker - it will stabilize the building but did not think it would make it usable. He felt it would bring the building to the point where someone needs to put more money into it to make it usable.
