Mr. Hill acting as spokesman, explained that a contract will be presented to run from January 1,1978 until December 31,1978. The sum of $800 for the year was requested. Mr. Hill explained that the boundary for their coverage will be Chicken Point, because it was felt that they could not provide adequate beyound that point. It was noted that individuals can- not be charged for the service because they are a voluntary company. The question was raised as to whether or not the Town or ambulance service could be reimbursed for calls involving motor vehicle accidents. It was suggested that our Town Attorney be consulted concerning this matter. Mr. Hill noted that if• there was a call from Dryden at the same time as Harford that mutual aid would be called.

However, the Supervisor recommended that the Town pay $8009 an increase of $200 from the last year. This was acceptable to Mr. Weitzel. Joanne Carpenter expressed her concern over garbage being dumped on Cornell property. She stated that this was polluting the water and making an undersirable odor in the area. She asked if' it would be possible f'or the Town to rent a truck for garbage removal. She felt that if the Town paid for garbage pick-up from tax monies, people might not be so apt to dump garbage where they should®nt. It was suggested that the Cortland County Health Dept. be contacted in reference to the dumping.
