Guest Presentation:

1. Lakes to Locks executive director Janet Kennedy (postponed). Looking for a donation of $500.00.

2. ACAP day care coordinator Marge Zmijewski (postponed): We have two daycare providers in town: one by Penny Montville and the other Doreen Pfund. Penny was not registered with the State and shut down and made her go to two children. If she is caught again she will be fined. Doreen Pfund is giving up her license as of the 1st of January. We need to help these working families to provide daycare. The paperwork is a lot and it is very expensive. We are hoping to get an afterschool program going again.

Supervisor:

1. County: Budget: we worked all day yesterday on the budget they had 22 amendments and the budget was raised 6.5% from 9.5% however, they wanted to put money into the fund balance so the total increase is 7.5%. We are taking half the money we saved and putting it into the Fund Balance. This is all part of the 5 year plan. – 2 – May 7, 2018

2. County home cemetery: we are going to move to go forward on this and Supervisor Gillilland was asked to go talk to Vicki Dickerson.

3. Golf Course Peter is still reviewing the course with his lawyer and has nothing new to discuss on this.

4. WWTP Work: They are finishing up this project. They still don’t know anything yet on what design DEC is going to want for the rebuild. We may get a consent order telling us what we need to do.

5. Combined highway/school bus garage: We had a meeting with Steve Broadwell and the committee the other day to discuss what we may be able to do. They are looking to be up behind the old school. The school owns the land already. Supervisor Gillilland has a rough design as to what they are thinking. The rough estimate they are looking at is $6 million which will be split between the town and the school. The estimated cost would be $2 million from the town and $2 million from the school and State Ed would pick up the rest of the bill.

6. Senior nutrition site: This site is going to be sold and the alternate site that Essex came up with was the Whallonsburgh Grange. All of the people but one is from Willsboro. The Willsboro Fire District Treasurer recommended the Fire house. The fire house has a certified kitchen. We give Essex $3000.00 each year and Essex gives $2500.00. The fire house would get some amount for the use of the facilities. They didn’t have a meeting and will present at their next board meeting.

7. Correspondence: Essex wants to rewrite the contract over the landfill. Ed is supposed to get back to us as to what they want in the contract.

8. Faith Sawitski: The insurance company is going to pay for it. They are in need of more information from the family. They will get the entire claim except the deductable.

Highway/DPW: ABSENT. Supervisor Gillilland reported that we started one man plowing, however he went back to two man plowing. We have already received a lot of complaints because they are not getting that close to the mailboxes.
