Councilperson Gamel - I'd just like to say congratulations to Mike and what a great job the guys have done in kind of a crappy situation and the transition. It's gone fairly smoothly for all the headaches you guys have had to go through. We're very happy. Supervisor Scheffler - Today we had a few snags and the guys were just super. They knew what to do, they got it done, and we're glad Ellard is okay. April L. Scheffler, RMC, Town Clerk/Tax Collector - Submitted monthly and annual reports for the Board's review.

Glenn Morey, County Legislator - Happy New Year everyone, it's going to be a great year ahead of us. I'd also like to extend a welcome to Mike. Good luck to you and your endeavors. I'm in-between committees right now because Martha Robertson was named Chair, so I won't be assigned until next week. But most likely I'll be sitting on the Facilities & Infrastructure, the Budget, Personnel, and a new one called Government Operations. Ben Nelson, Groton Fire Chief - Handed out the 2018 Annual Report. They had 816 ambulance calls and 126 fire calls. The report compares calls for fire calls back to 2006 and the ambulance back to 1980. Our losses have gone down and our call volume has gone up. We only had three real structure fires this year. This also shows mutual aid to every which -way, with mostly Dryden being the big winners this year. I think we were there 13 times. I think there was around 39 calls out of the over 800 calls that had to be handled by Dryden, TLC, Bangs, or 4 -Town. Most of those calls were taken by them because it was our second or third call and our rig was already out with other patients. We have reached that 5% number of calls we are unable to take and I think we're closer to the 2% range. Eight days into 2019 and we're Town Board Minutes Page 10 January 8, 2019 already up to 25 calls. We had our annual elections. For 2019 - Chief is myself, Deputy Chief is Rick Neville, Jr., 1St Assistant Chief is Rod Gallenger, 2nd Assistant Chief is Eric DeForrest, and 3rd Assistant Chief is Jamie Babcock. We will be sworn in next Saturday at our banquet. RESOLUTION #19-015 - APPROVE CONTRACT WITH MEALS ON WHEELS MOVED by Supervisor Scheffler, seconded by Councilperson Gamel RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby approves the 2019 Contract between the Town of Groton and Foodnet Meals on Wheels for the provision of meal services to the elderly residents of the Town in the amount of $5,300.00. Ayes - Gamel, Young, Jackson, Clark, Scheffler Nays - Resolution Passed RESOLUTION #19-016 - APPROVE 2019 CONTRACT WITH HUMAN SERVICES MOVED by Supervisor Scheffler, seconded by Councilperson Young RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby approves the 2019 Contract between the Town of Groton and and the Human Services Coalition for the planning and coordination of services to the community in the amount of $1,500.00. Ayes - Gamel, Young, Jackson, Clark, Scheffler Nays - Resolution Passed Privilege of the Floor: Erich Satterly, Deputy Highway Superintendent - I just want to thank April. She's been helping us out quite a bit with inside stuff. She has offered her services and we have taken it. And I would like to thank the County today. We had an incident and there was sand and salt that was next to Peg Mill Creek and they were up here and cleaned it up. That was very nice of them, because we didn't know how we were going to get it out of there without tearing the lawn up more. They even fixed the lawn. They worked with us well and they would still like to continue working with us and get into some shared services. We have a little problem with our clothing. We have two contracts now: we have Cintas and Unifirst. The Cintas contract goes until 2022 and Unifirst was supposed to come the other day but I said let's put the brakes on. She called me and there is a signed contract with Unifirst, but I think the former Deputy signed the contract. Was he authorized to sign the contract or was it supposed to be the Highway Superintendent? Supervisor Scheffler - It would depend whether the Superintendent told him to because he works at the orders of the Highway Superintendent. Mr. Satterly - I don't know why he would tell the Deputy to sign it when he had signed the one with Cintas until 2022. The Board thought they should have the attorney look at the situation. Mr. Satterly - I don't think it's fair to us. I'll talk to the driver on Friday because he has not been taking care of us at all. Our wives and girlfriends have been washing our clothes. He's not bringing them back. If you put in five pairs, you might get one back. It's a problem. The bill says some guys got shirts and I'm down for 11 shirts but I never got any. They are charging for them and we never had them. The fellows that just left, if they don't turn in their clothes, the Town will be charged for them. The Board said they would have the attorney check. Town Board Minutes Page 11 January 8, 2019 Mr. Satterly - And I will say, you can get all the training you want for plowing snow, but ice...... it's nerve wracking. Supervisor Scheffler - I want to thank you for stepping in and helping out, and all the guys have been super. Mr. Satterly - For what's been going on, we're doing pretty good. Councilperson Jackson - You're doing fantastic. Announcements: ➢ Planning Board Meeting, January 17 at 7:30 pm ➢ Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting, January 30 at 7:00 pm ➢ NYS Association of Town Annual Training, February 17 - 20 ➢ Cabin Fever - March 2 ➢ Next Board Meeting, February 12 at 7:30 pm There being no further business, Councilperson Gamel moved to adjourn, seconded by Councilperson Young, at 8:08 pm. Unanimous. Supervisor Scheffler remembered that the Town Justices had requested to encumber funds from the 2018 Budget, so immediately reconvened the meeting. The funds in question are part of the grant that the Court had received for installation of security items. Additional cameras have been ordered and will be installed in 2019. The Bookkeeper explained that he would be able to do a simple transfer of the grant funds at the February meeting. With the issue settled, and there being no further business and Councilperson Gamel moved to adjourn, seconded by Councilperson Jackson, at 8:11 pm. Unanimous. April L. Scheffler, RMC Town Clerk
