BOARD MEETING ^ ASSESSMENT DROPPED--Tom Chartrand said our property tax assessment dropped to $4.58, or down 47 cents per $1000 value. VETERANS MEMORIAL--The Spafford Veterans Memorial fund did well, bringing in an additional $1,677. Lisa Valletta said another $100 donation arrived today (10/9). Gordon Ireland commented on the work that has begun on the patio area at the site. Fred Chappell asked Merrill Clark for the pins for the benches, and inquired about moving the benches, currently stored in crates in the town barn, to the site very soon. TOWN CLERK REPORT --Lisa Valletta sold 51 transfer station tags; the sale of DEC decals brought in $2500 which goes to the DEC, and $144 that stays with the town. HIGHWAY REPORT--Merrill Clark ordered a new pick up sander, for $3,721. that will arrive in about a week. Clark stated that he received 3 bids for sand, the lowest bid from Bob O'Brien ($3.50 yd picked up, $5.50 yd delivered), the same source as last year. Last year the sand was used "straight" with no stone, because it was a mild winter. Clark said it was analyzed and determined to have less than a 5% clay content. TRANSFER STATION--Saturday, October 11th is Tire Day. Clark said if the town hauled discarded tires to Auburn Steel ($25/ton) it would be "much cheaper than what we were paying last year." The last "Metal Day" of 2003 will be Saturday, October 18th.

but we're working to change that!
Merrill Clark inquired about the possibility of
retaining individual health insurance coverage after he retires, for
approximately 21 month, until he is 65. The town is still awaiting
quotes, and investigating options to save money. Bill Vinzant asked Tom
Chartrand what the approximate cost would be to the town per month.
Chartrand said, "$300 I think." Gordon Ireland said, "we
haven't plugged this into the budget." (photo left: Skaneateles
