Councilman Gladu explained that the first agenda item is to discuss the proposed contract with representatives of Casella Waste.  The Town Board wishes to keep the Transfer Station open on Sundays from July 1 – September 1 from 12:00 pm to 3 pm.  Keep bags @ $3:00, $4.00 and $7.00.  Also the Board suggested to include C & D to $60.00 a ton and cardboard to $10.00.  Casella will go back to reconsider and will get back to the Town Board.

The meeting followed with LaBerge.  Don Rhodes presented the proposed Walkway.  After much discussion the west side of the road would have better drainage, but will be more expensive.  The overall project cost is approximately 2.5 million dollars.  The towns share would be approximately ½ million dollars, or higher.  There were different suggestions on how the town could fund their share.

The application is due by June 27^th.  The final document should be ready by the end of next week.  The Town Board made the decision to continue with the study.  We want an overall scope with the cost from the center of town to Silver Bay.

There are three alternatives that will be included.  East side, west side of 9N and dedicated walkway along Pudding Lane.  The Town Board will hold a Public Informational meeting on June 17 @ 6:30.  The Town Board will also contact Nancy Williams from the Lake George Land Conservancy to set up a meeting on the 19 of June @ 6:30.

Motion by M. Martucci, seconded by E. Frasier to adjourn meeting at 4:05 pm.  All voting yes.  Motion carried.
