There were three members of the public in the audience. Action: Justin James spoke to the board during public comment about doing a marathon through the area for a second year in a row. The race would start at Watkins Glen International, go through Montour Falls along the Catharine Valley Trail, and back into Watkins Glen. Fire Chief Tom Carson told the board he had no problems with the marathon coming through Montour Falls, because it was handled well last year. The board approved the marathon coming through the village. • The board approved Mayor Kelley to sign an amendment to the union agreement to change the pay for Mike Hughey. The amendment is in place until a highway superintendent is hired. Discussion without action: Carson told the board the Beaver Dams, Odessa, Watkins Glen, and Montour Falls fire departments would be using the carnival grounds for training. • Clerk Suzanne Casselberry told the board about a house on Raymond Street that is having trouble being sold and obtaining a mortgage, because under the new zoning it is in a business zone.
