Topics of Discussion
Petition for Sewer & Water Extension
A petition was presented requesting an extension of water and
sewer lines to o residents on Coddington Road (past Troy Road)
who are outside the established districts. It was estimated
that approximately 1000 feet of additional line would accommodate
these interested families. Mr. Dunlap will study the feasibility
of this extension and report to the petitioners within the
next week.
Town Engineer
Supervisor Kerr discussed with the Board the possibility of
contacting Mr. Stanley Nadolski of Cortland who was recently
interviewed for the position as Engineer to see if he would
be interested in the job as Engineer on a probational contract
basiSj possibly 3 months subject to renewal^ rather than as
a regular employee of the Town. The Board accepted this as
a reasonable offer and authorized Mr. Kerr to contact Mr.
Nadolski for his views on this basis.
Mario Guidi-M^deville property-(East State St. Water Dist.)
Mr. Guidi contacted Mr. Kerr regarding the possibility of water
service from the East State Street Extension Water District
to the Mandeville property located on Slaterville Road. The
maps show that the water line is on the opposite side of the
road which is a state highway. The Boards consensus is that
the cost of running the water line underneath the highway to
the property line should be the responsibility of the property
owner and pot the town. There was no further action taken.
Burns Road Realignment- First phase of Master Road Plan.
Noel Desch, Chairman of the Planning Board presented a set of
construction working drawings for the relocation of the south
end of Burns Road on South Hill_, with the recommendation that
the town board take steps to acquire property and schedule
construction using the Town highway department on the project.
No cost estimates were given, however, Mr. Desch felt it was
within budgeted funds. Councilmen Gordon and Mayer expressed
opposition to the proposal on-the grounds that too few people
would be benefited from the expense involved in such a project
and that it was not economically feasible at this time. It
was tabled for further discussion at another time.
Meeting duly adjourned at 6:10 P.M.
