Meeting started at 8 : 00 PM Supv . Dow stated that the proposed district is bounded on the north by Rt 222 , on the West by Salt Rd . , on the south by Dryden Town Line and on theryeast by the Cortland County Line , including a section in the Town of Dryden that concerns the Dryden Town Board . The basic purpose of the meeting is 3 questions . 1 - Do the people of the McLean area want a fire district ? 2 - What area is involved ? 3 - Does the creation of this proposed fire district benefit the citizens ' concerned ? Atty Amdur clarified the following points . 1 - The Groton portion of the fire district , whith is going to be the proposal for a joint district . 2 - The Dryden area is the northeast corner which is bounded on the west by Ed Hill Rd . , on the north by the Town of Groton , on the east by the Cortland County Line and the south by a jagged line following the Beck farm , Porter farm , and Hemingway farm . The meeting tonigtt is a joint Public Hearing whith any interested parties have a right to speak . Its in order to enable the Town Board of Dryden and Groton to make a decision at the whether or not the establishment of this district is in the public interest , and whether all benefited parties and property owners are included in the district . The Town Boards are entitled to alter the boundaries of the proposed district to include or exclude property owners at their interest may appear . The meeting that Dryden Town Board has on March - 9th and Groton Town Board has on March 15th are related by another area of the law which involved the excising of a portion from the boundary o f the fire protection dist . in each of the Towns . The meeting is subject to a permissive referendum ,, . John Miller clarified the boundary lines of the proposed fire dist . Questions : Ron Beck said his property ' runs all the way back to the Ed Hill Rd . and if nothing on the Hile School Rd . is included , then the Phil Minges property which is completely surrounded by my property and that of Charles George , which is probably considered facing the Red Mill Rd , would be out o f the dist . as he understands the description . His buildings are all on the west side of Red Mill Rd . so he assumes that all of the property which ✓ uns to Ed Hill Rd . is included . After much discussion it was decided that after the boundary lines were set any property in that dist . would become part of that dist . Martin Beck wanted to make sure Hile School Rd . was not Covered . Atty Amdur said a small portion was covered . He also wanted to know how far south on the Freeville - McLean Rd . was covered in this dist . Supv . McCord told him just south of Leisure Lane . Everett Allington wanted to know the reason why they wanted to form a fire district . George Totman answered by stating the difference between a fire protection dist . and a fire dist . At the present time the McLean Fire Dept ! is in a fire protection dist . which means they contract with the 2 respective Town Boards and normally get what the ask for within reasonable limits . There isn ' t to much of a problem there , but costs go up and more and more . tax y . dollars are Ding expended in the dist . , so the members of the McLean ' ' y Fire Dept . , after many years of discussions , felt that more and more o f the taxpayers money was being spent without any authority from the people that were paying . We go to the Town Board of Dryden and Groton and present a budget and it is agreed on that so many dollars are sent back to the McLean Fire Dept . , which then spends the money . The people in the dist . that are paying the taxes don ' t have a say on how the money is spent although they do have a by electing the Town Board members . We feel that it would be more beneficial to the people in the area if they had a larger say as to what we are doing , because we are protecting them and they are giving us money to do it . We in the McLean area •do not have a member on either Town Board so that the people in the proposed dist don ' t ✓ eally have any kind of representation . A fire dist . is that zone that the 2 Town Boards agree to the boundary lines of and agree to having this proposed dist . become a separate municipality . The Town Boards will in turn appoint fire commissioners for the 1st year . They will be residents 9t . . of the proposed dist . The fire commissioners will then serve until the second Tues . of the following Dec . At that point the 1st election will be here in . the McLean Fire Station which will be the central point of the dist . The people that are paying the taxes will elect 5 people to serve on the board of fire commissioners . The 1st 5 people with the most votes get 5 yr , 4 yr 3 yr 2 yr and 1 year , after that each year there will be 1 commissioner elected by the people through a regular voting process here at McLean . Those commissioners will set up the budget and will handle all the financial affairs . This will put the spending money to the people that live in this fire dist . We will have direct control when this happens if the boards agree . The buildings and property here will become part of that district and we feel that with the changing of times and vast changes - of people in the area we will have better control and have more to say . The IITown of Dryden budgeted $ 3800 . 00 and the Town of Groton budget $ 7500 . 00 to the McLean Fire Dept . The present debt is $ 40 , 000 . 00 . George Hajney presented figures , where he used the 1975 Assessment figures . ill $ 3 , 313830 in the Town of Groton and $ 1 , 326 , 480 in the Town of Dryden . They u sed work sheets provided by the State of N . Y . which have to be used to compute the fire dist . spending limitations . It uses assessed valuation , e qualization rates and full value . The figures are as accurate as could be possible arrived at at this time , but expect them to vary slightly . Using the money we receive from both Town Boards and assessed valuation and e aualization rates we came up with a tentative assessment of $ 1 . 13 per $ 1000 plus additional indebtedness which would bring it to around $ 1 . 69 per $ 1000 . We used a budget figure of $ 11 , 000 plus they would have to add insurance . John Miller assured everyone that they would be getting the same quality of fire protection . Supv . McCord stated that if the dist . should have to purchase new equipment at some point it is up to the dist . to decide througth the fire - commissioners . They do have more control o ver that but they are placing a fairly large expense on a relatively small tax base . When you define a fire dist . you are reducing the tax base that you have to finance on . So if a major expense occurs you are facing a potentially sharp increase in your fire tax rate to pay for it . You don ' t have the insurance of a town wide base which you now have . Atty McDermott stated that if the 2 Town Boards determine that the 3 questions Supv . Dow outlined initally are answered to the affirmative . - this evening and they do vote to form the McLean Fire Dist . , another control is that also it has to be approved by the State Dept . of Audit & Control and is on a basis of considering the base that is available , what funds are necessary for the operation of the dept . and the State ultimately has veto power over the dist . if they do not feel that it is feasible or proper to form the dist . even though the 2 Boards may agree eventually that this is in order . Supv Dow stated that one question had been lead and answered by another one The third one , is it in the best interest of all concerned . He belived input was put in all evening long and if a consensus vote was taken no * it would be a definite yes . It is the duty of the 2 Boards from this point on to work for a conclusion on the last point . Once the judgement is in it will be up to the Bureau of Audit & Control . About 10 people from Dryden were there Mr . Dow asked for a show of hands of the people from the proposed dist . 88 people were present . • -'.�C.l� cam. -..� O° `- Town � Cl erk C Adjourned 9 : 00 PM 92 - PUBLIC HEARING MCLEAN LIGHTING DISTRICT MARCH 9 , 1976 Deputy Supv .

John Miller said after checking with the fire districts of Lansing , Danby , Brooktondale and Slaterville , the Towns in those districts pay the compensation rates for the insurance . The fire dept . does not pay their own . There ; was much discussion on Leisure Lane as to which fire dist . it should be in , Freeville or McLean because of the distance involved . John Miller said when they started with the proposal the homes there all had McLean phone numbers . Larry Parker from Freeville said he measured the distance from McLean to Leisure Lane 2 . 7 miles and from Freeville it was 1 . 6 miles .

Watros said that the county had met with the SPCA and investigated the Ag & Markets Law that governs the quarantine on dogs . It was found out that they had to pass a local law in order to empower the SPCA to pick up the dogs that were in violation . The law was passed the 8th of March so now the SPCA has the power of a warden and can go o ut in the town and pick up dogs that are loose . Clm Webb wanted to know if when he said pick up dogs does that mean dogs that are without a license . County Rep . Watros said that it was in terms of the quarantine which is in effect during the winter months where dogs cant be running at large because of the deer . Het wasn ' t sure but believed the local law they passed would be to act as a warden in any situation . He would report more n ext month on the SPCA situation . He also would like to be kept up to date o n any specific cases from now on so he could follow up on them . The latest developments on the hospital involves Cornell University .

Watros thought it would be by the end of May . a " Clm Webb wanted to know if anything was going to be done on the Octopus . From the latest indication it looked like a start date of 1980 . County Rep . Watros stated that he did not feel that John Miller should involve himself with the specific petition and proposed fire dist . because it is an inter dept . issue and he should be looking at it from a county 0 noint of view rather than a dept . point of view , and hopes that the Town Roard recognizes what his position should be in this matter because o f the conflict of interest .
