COUNTY LEGISLATOR’S REPORT: County Legislator Sandy Price submitted a written report. Supervisor Kaminski questioned the issues
with the jail roof. Price said that there was a leak and it did major damage to the roof and the flooring. She said that both are being
replaced and the State will dictate what else needs to be done. Price said that the Legislature authorized the roof repair a while ago,
however it was held up in the county Law office, by the time it was approved it was too late to do the repair. Member Stiles wanted
to know why the repair was held up at the county law office? Price said there were issues that didn’t meet the County attorney’s
satisfaction. Price is not sure if the repair will be covered under insurance. Kaminski asked if the jail employees were laid off? Price
said that they are all doing others jobs such as bookings and transportation. Kaminski can’t understand how the county can continue
to pay them instead of laying them off. There was some discussion regarding a new position at the recycling center. Prices said that
it is paid by a grant and the position will need to prove it can pay for itself, before it becomes permanent. If the grant continues and
the county can save more money than what the salary is, they may keep it. Stiles asked what the purpose of the position was. Price
said it is to develop a recycling plan and to look at the financial aspects of recycling. There is another position that oversees the land
fill. This salary was not reduced, when the recycling job was created. Price said that everything is in transition right now at the recycling
center. She said that the county ended their contract with Casella and a new plan is being developed. She said that recycling is being
sent to various different places. She said that there is no market for glass and it might be crushed. Construction waste will be used for
cover. The person in charge of the highway department will be sharing ideas and he is asking for support. Stiles questioned the hiring
of someone to run the landfill as well as the airport. Attorney Snyder who is an avid flyer said that the person hired to oversee the
airport is doing an amazing job. Member Denniston asked about the county road budget and he wondered if the winter road
maintenance was underbudgeted. Price said that it was. The County Highway superintendent said to keep the budget flat. But there
was a 20% increase in salt. Price said that something has to be done differently the next budget cycle. Pelton wanted to know if they
see any horizon on the jail project. Price said that there is a resolution saying that whatever is going to happen will happen on
Greenbush street, however there are some that are determined to have a new jail, but Price doesn’t think they have the votes. Right
now, it’s a stalemate. Price said that she is opposed to a new jail, reflecting what she has heard. She said that she is going to represent
the majority. She feels that the selected location of the new jail is bad and the money is not there. She would like to see the county
add on the existing jail or add pods. Stiles wanted to know how the donated property might get put back on the tax roll. Price said that
they were told that if the county doesn’t want the property, they can give it to another municipality. Stiles said they should give it
back to the seller. He feels it was a terrible idea to accept the donation. Stiles wanted to know how the county made out on selling
the property on Grant Street and West Court. Price said that they did terrible on both. There is talk of turning one into a 911 center
and the other property is being looked at by the cooperative extension, however there are issues with the lack of parking. Price said
that she will be sticking around for the workman’s compensation conversation. Member Stiles motioned to accept the County
Legislators report. The motion was seconded Member Snow Vote: Ayes-Members Pelton, Snow, Denniston, Stiles and Kaminski. Nays-
None
VIRGIL YOUTH COMMISSION REPORT: Corena Morse of the Youth Commission submitted a written report. Supervisor Kaminski said
that there are four families that have outstanding balances with the before and after school program. He said that he has contacted
them and he may need to take them to small claims court to collect the money. He said that he would like to start the legal process.
He said that there is one that family owes $199 and a couple that owes $80 and one that owes $400. Kaminski said that many of them
have moved out of Virgil. Member Stiles motioned to accept the Virgil Youth Commissions report. The motion was seconded Member
Snow. Vote: Ayes-Members Pelton, Snow, Denniston, Stiles and Kaminski. Nays- None
HOPE LAKE OPERATIONS REPORT: Wes Kryger was not present.
HIGHWAY DEPT. SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT: Deputy Highway Superintendent Dan Courtney was present and Highway
Superintendent Britt Morse submitted a written report. Member Stiles asked Courtney how the town is doing on salt and sand
supplies. Courtney said that they should be good. Courtney said they haven’t used the recycled sand because it chucks up in the
spreader. Kaminski said that Mr. Stressler was in about Nye Rd. and his concern about road gravel all over his lawn. Courtney said he
will talk to Morse about it tomorrow. Stiles asked if there was a plan for Congdon lane. Courtney said yes and that there are issues
with water on that road. Courtney said that there is nothing that can be done until the spring. Courtney said that the oil they put done
with the stone didn’t take on all the roads that they oil and stoned. He said that they all look like gravel. He said that If they were
properly sealed, they shouldn’t have water in it. Courtney said that If they redo all the roads, they won’t have enough money to do
the roads that are identified for this year. Courtney said that the State isn’t pushing oil and stone anymore, because it just doesn’t last.
They want all the roads paved. However, the cost is astronomical, they could only do a about a mile of a road for what they do now.
He said that oil and stone go a lot further. It’s going to cost the tax payers a ton of money to redo all the roads. Courtney said that if
you grab a handful of the gravel, it’s like painted black stones. Member Stiles said that he would like to talk to Donny and get some
lab analysis done on the oil. Kaminski wanted to know if the material that is used comes with an explanation of its content? Courtney
said yes and that there are different types of oils for different applications. Kaminski said that there must be 100 tanks of oil sitting on
the railroad tracks in tanks all winter. He thinks the oil may go bad. Member Stiles motioned to accept the Highway Supervisor report.
Member Snow seconded the motion. Vote: Ayes-Members Pelton, Snow, Denniston, Stiles and Kaminski. Nays: None.

DISCUSSION ON UPDATED TRANSFER STATION RULES AND REGULATIONS: Supervisor Kaminski said that he E-mailed the board some
changes he feels should be made to the law. One is that folks can’t use dark or black bags. He feels that Section 10 of the law can’t be
enforced so he would like to see that removed. Building materials should be taken to Contento’s at the home owners’ expense.
Attorney Snyder said that one of the main points should be that nothing toxic is ever dumped. It was stated that a Public Hearing
would have to take place in order to change the Local Law. They would like to set the hours of the transfer station yearly at the
organizational meeting. Attorney Snyder said that the Local Law needs to be in its final form 10 days before the Public Hearing.
RESOLUTION #19- 036 APPROVAL OF THE IT PROPOSAL FROM PLAN FIRST: There was some discussion on the IT needs of the town.
Discussion took place regarding E-mails. It was also stated that the town has an agreement with frontier that is slated to end in March.
In order to switch, the Town needs to notify Frontier that we are switching. Stiles would like to see the town move forward with using
Hafele. Member Stiles made a motion to approve the quote from Plan First for the Town’s IT needs. Member Snow seconded the
motion Vote: Ayes-Members Pelton, Snow, Denniston, Stiles and Kaminski. Nays: None.
REPORT ON SCHOOL COMMITTEE: Member Denniston reported that several members of the committee took a tour of the school
facility. Denniston said there were approximately 15 people there. The committee is compiling a list of ideas and they are reaching
out to local businesses. Denniston said that the goal of the committee is to be able to go out for a Public Referendum vote in the
spring. Supervisor Kaminski said that there will be two more meetings of the committee and then there will be a public vote held on
June 18th. He said this will be the last week that school is in session. He would like to see a letter written to town residents stating the
facts. He said that this is a business decision. People need to know that this is a long-range vison and that it is a business decision. The
public will have all the facts and they will have the opportunity to vote on June 18th. Stiles said that there has to be a plan to be able
to pay the maintenance costs. Member Pelton said that there was an article in the paper that said someone was looking at the building
for low income housing. Low income housing may not put the building on the tax roll, it was later determined this wasn’t true. Stiles
said that the building is not zoned commercial and anyone who would want to change it would have to jump through hoops. Kaminski
said that they are not going to put low income housing in there. Member Denniston said that the town needs to abide by its own
zoning laws. If the town takes it over there would need to be a variance obtained. Attorney Snyder said that recommendations need
to be clear from the very beginning and they need to have a purpose in mind. Supervisor Kaminski said that if three board members
don’t wish to move forward, they can stop the process now. Kaminski said that he would like to see the community vote. Stiles said
that it scares him having the public vote, if they say yes and it gets pushed through and there is no game plan. He is concerned the tax
payers will be burdened with it. Kaminski’s said that the letter to the public will be clear if there is no plan. Stiles said that the town
residents are sentimental about the building. He said that it is going to be a huge investment of time to manage it. Stiles said that he
would like to hear comments from the public. Jack Bays said that he was there because he saw the article in the paper. He saw where
the Binghamton company that runs Creamery Hills in Harford has shown interest in the building. It was stated that half of Creamery
Hills was seniors and the other half is low income housing. Nays said that he was very familiar with Creamery Hills, as his Mother in
law lives there. Bays said that they run a very good business and the place is clean and they pay taxes. Sandy Price said they do have
a county PILOT. Price said that is negotiated. Bays said that school closings are happening all across the US and building are being
abandoned. Some are turning into health clubs. Bays said that the Virgil School building has been the center of town and it keeps the
town grounded. Bays feels it would be advantageous to the town to keep the building. He said that he was the Virgil Youth
Commissioner and he coached baseball He is concerned if the building goes to someone else. Bays said that the property that the
Town Hall sits on used to be owned by the City School District. It was stated that the school said they would give the Town the walking
trail and the playground, regardless if the Town takes over the building or not. Stiles said that the school says that, but there is nothing
in writing and he is concerned about that. Kaminski said that Senator Seward is involved, as the walking trail was obtained by a grant
the he helped secure. It was sated that the city school is farther on with their plan and the city is taking over that building. It was stated
that they have a lot of people knocking on their door. Price said that she felt the time frame is good. It was stated that the public will
feel slighted if the town doesn’t go out for a vote. Kaminski said that the school business official wants to stay in contact with the
town. It was stated that the School Superintendent makes comments in paper that the town is interested. They feel that he is putting
a plan out there before there really is a plan.
UPDATE ON THE PURCHASE OF A DEHUMIDIFER FOR THE BOARD ROOM: Member Stiles said that he needs to just go and pick one
up.
UPDATE ON LAND DONATION: Member Pelton said that he spoke with Mike Ten Kate and he was just trying to do Virgil a favor by
donating the land for sportsmen. Pelton said that it would only take $110 off the tax roll. He said that it will cost an extra $200 a year
in Insurance. Pelton feels it would be good for the sportsmen in the Town of Virgil. Member Stiles said that the town spends a lot of

money on the lake. Stiles said that the town can’t keep putting money into these projects. He said that people can already put their
boats in the water now. Stiles would be concerned that someone might get hurt there and then they would sue the town. Stiles said
that the town is not in the business of taking over property. Member Snow said that the Marathon Fire Department would like to use
the area as a watch spot and a place where they could launch an air boat to rescue people. Stiles said that they can drop their boat in
now. Stiles said that Fire service law says that in the state of an emergency they can go anywhere. Member Pelton made a motion to
accept the land. Member Snow seconded the motion. Vote: Aye; Pelton and Snow. Nay: Denniston, Stiles and Kaminski. The motion
did not pass. It was called to my attention at the March 14th, 2019 meeting that Supervisor Kaminski abstained on this motion and it
was tabled. Revised Vote: Aye: Pelton and Snow. Nay: Denniston, Stiles Abstain: Kaminski.
RESOLUTION #19-037 APPROVAL OF THE HOPE LAKE PARK FIREWORKS CONTRACT: Gary Pelton said that they have come up with
half the money so far. He said that the town has to fax the signed contact to Young Explosives. Pelton said that Greek Peak has agreed
to do crowd control. Kaminski said that the County Sales tax was higher than anticipated and perhaps they can use some money out
of there to help pay for the fireworks. It was mentioned that in section three of the contract that the town has to get the Permit. It
was stated that the Code Enforcer would do the inspections. The date of the event is scheduled for Friday July 5th at 9:30 PM. Member
Pelton made a motion to approve the contract from Young Explosives for a Fireworks display at Hope Lake Park on July 5th , 2019. The
Town will pick up any remaining costs on the fireworks display that donations do not cover. Member Stiles seconded the motion Vote:
Ayes-Members Pelton, Snow, Denniston, Stiles and Kaminski. Nays: None.
UPDATE ON CODE AND ZONING FEE SCHEDULE: This item is still being worked on.
UPDATE ON TOWN FORMS: Supervisor Kaminski said that he is still working on this as well.
UPDATE ON 2019 WORKER’S COMPENSATION RATES: Supervisor Kaminski said that the town is going to have to pay extra because
the Village of Homer withdrew from the program. The Town has not been billed the increased amount. It was stated that the county
may pick up the additional costs. Sandy Price said that they would use reserve money. However, City administrator Mack Cook, doesn’t
believe there is any money to share. Member Denniston said, at the quarterly meeting there was a discussion on loss prevention and
the Village of Homer leaving has some folks questioning the process. They didn’t give proper notice. There is a lot of frustration over
the whole issue. The Village of Homer has not pursued anything legally. The other towns didn’t have any say on them leaving. Sandy
Price said she was made chair of the committee and feels she has been handed a big mess. It was stated that there are communication
issues. Price said she was told that the bills with the new calculations haven’t gone out. Stiles was wondering why Virgil got a bill for
$58,000. Member Denniston said that he feels it shouldn’t be run under a local law. He feels other options should be investigated.
Denniston said that he is frustrated because of the communication issues. McNeil is looking at structuring it as a contract, rather than
a local law. The bill the board approved that night was pulled and the general fund vouchers were amended. The board is thinking
about shopping for other workers compensations plans. Kaminski said that it might be time to shop again. He is going to contact the
Town of Homer, Cortlandville and the City to see if they want to look elsewhere as well. It was stated that if a town of village pulls out,
they can’t return for five years. Denniston said that because workers compensation is set up under a local law, they can’t shop for
prices, if they were under a contact they could. Price said that it has been this way since 1975. Price doesn’t see any benefits of a local
law. Price said that the larger the pool the more benefits there are. Price said that workers compensation was bid two years ago and
McNeil has been very competitive. Price said that Bob Barber has offered to meet with the board. Nothing is going to change for 2019.
There will be a meeting on Tuesday of the Personnel, Budget and Finance Committee. Price believes a majority on both committees
for the county are willing to pick up the village of Homer’s share.

DISCUSSION ON SOLAR PILOT WITH THE COUNTY: Attorney Snyder said that last year the county presented a resolution to participate

generating electricity.

He said that Lee Hafele is trying to get it done. Kaminski said that other communities are struggling with the same issue as well and
it’s the power companies that are giving them a hard time. Bays said that he heard that Hafele was going to run up Van Donsel Rd.
and onto Bleck road, but they are not going to the end. He said that he contacted Hafele and they told him that it was a springtime
project. Kaminski said that he will get a map.
