Supervisor Belden opened the Budget Workshop at 3:00 pm.

Mr. John McDonald spoke on behalf of the Ticonderoga “Black Watch Library Expansion Program.”  There are approximately 450 users of the library from the Town of Hague.  The Library Committee is asking the Town Board to help sponsor the Expansion program.  The only legal way the Town of Hague can help with support of the Library would be to negotiate a shared service contract between the Town of Hague & the Black Watch Library. 

The Board will review the request and explore various options to provide library services to the residents of Hague.

Motion by R. Meola, seconded by L. Megow to go into executives session to discuss personnel at 3:10 pm.  All voting yes.  Motion carried.

 Motion by R. Meola, seconded by L. Megow to return to open session at 4:40 pm.   All voting yes.  Motion carried.

The Board reviewed the Budget for 2005.

Motion by R. Meola, seconded by L. Megow to adjourn meeting at 4:45 pm.  All voting yes.  Motion carried.

Respectfully submitted,

Deborah F. Manning

Town Clerk
