Board discusses a letter received from Chief of Police Cooper re: his
suggestion on staffing to replace the hours lost when Officer Messina
attends the full time training academy. CW is opposed to placing part-time
Officer R. Perrin to temporary full-time status. CW states that the Town is
open to problems if a non full-time academy trained officer is working full
time. Also, Officer Perrin would have to be offered health insurance for the
period he was working full time. CW states that the Chief has had plenty
of time to figure out the staffing gap. CW would prefer that the Chief use
part-time officers to fill the gap as was proposed by the Chief last July.
Board agrees to postpone decision on this matter until next week.
Board discusses placing an article on the ATM warrant that would allow a
Town Board member to miss one session of a Public Hearing and still be
able to sit in on any ruling, if that person was able to get up to speed on
the session he or she missed out on.
Board has a general discussion about the eventual disposition of the old
Town Hall. It is suggested that the Board ask Old Town Hall Committee
Chair Joel Hotchkiss in to a future meeting to discuss the situation.
TSC announces that the official Town website will go live this week. Tina
is thanked for all her work in getting the website up and operating.
State Building Inspector Gordon Bailey will accompany Building
Inspector Jim Vosburgh on a Village School inspection this Wednesday
afternoon. Much of the rough plumbing and electrical work is ready to be .
covered up and the contractor has requested a formal inspection before
doing so.
Board will hold a joint meeting with the FinCom this Friday at 7:00 PM to
review the FY '08 budget.
Board has a general discussion about altering the rear Village School
entrance (as originally planned) in anticipation of the Senior Center
project being approved. A new covered entrance would conflict with the
Senior Center design. Board agrees that the Village School should receive
a temporary treatment at this exit until the status of the Senior Center
project is known.
Board has general discussion about re-scheduling an informational
meeting with Chief Cooper. Today's scheduled meeting was postponed at
the request of the Chief and due to scheduling conflict on the part of our Town Council.. No date was set.
