Montour Falls village board 10/4/10

Meeting:  The Montour Falls village board met Monday, Oct. 4, for one hour and 45 minutes.
Attendance:  All board members were present.  There were two members of the public in the audience.
Action:  Mayor Donna Kelley was approved to sign the Restore N.Y. grant disbursement agreement when it comes back from the county.  Kelley explained the village attorney wanted some modifications made to it, including some wording changes.
• The board authorized Larson Design Proposal to continue doing a waste water system evaluation.
• The fire contracts with the towns of Dix and Montour for the 2010-11 year were approved.  Clerk Suzanne Casselberry explained the figures were already approved in the budget.
• The board approved Myers to do electrical upgrades to any of the old marina camp sites, if renters want to pay for it themselves.  The lowest bid was $850, plus $440 for the village manpower and to rent a small excavator for one day.  Kelley said she didn’t think the camper should choose the electrician to do the work.
• Halloween trick-or-treat hours were set for Sunday, Oct. 31, from 6 to 8 p.m.
• The village will advertise to fill a municipal worker position.  Harold Mattison resigned from the position.
• The board approved the agreement with the village library for one year.  
• The board approved supporting Oct. 18 to 22 as National Business Women’s Week.
Discussion without action:  Fire Chief Tom Carson spoke to the board about getting bids to repair the ladder truck.  One bid came in substantially lower than the other two, and only from phone calls and photos of the damage.  Carson said he wants Jerome Fire Equipment Co., the lowest bidder, to actually come out and see the truck to offer a bid.  Jerome is located in Clay, N.Y.
Bids/purchases over $1,000:  The board approved purchasing 30 wireless water meters, a handheld reader, the software, and training for $11,600.  Board members were previously given a presentation on the new equipment, which allows water meter readings to be taken by driving by the residence.
Appointments/resignations:  Mattison resigned as municipal worker.
Upcoming meetings:  The next regular board meeting is Monday, Oct. 18, at 7 p.m.
