Supervisor Belden addressed the certified letter dated May 12, 2010, received from the EPA concerning the violation of the safe drinking water act at the Town Highway Garage.  On November 13, 2010 the EPA conducted an inspection of the Town Highway Garage and determined that a violation existed.  The Town Board was not aware of this inspection of violation until this certified letter of May 17, 2010 was received. 

The Board wishes that the document from the EPA dated May 17, 2010 be part of the minutes.

The Highway Department will be capping & discontinuing use of the drains in the Highway Garage today.

Gladu that the Town Board will hold a special meeting on May 25, 2010 at 3:00 pm with the Highway Superintendent and the Town Attorney to discuss the certified letter received from the EPA on the class 5 injection well violation.  The Highway Superintendent will be notified in writing of the meeting.  The Town Attorney will be asked to write a letter of response to the EPA which will be signed by the Town Supervisor.  All voting yes.  Motion carried.

Councilman Meola asked the members of the Board to clarify why a meeting had been scheduled to meet with the Town Attorney for May 19, 2010 at 10:00 am.  Councilman Gladu responded that it would be beneficial to have such a meeting.

The Board discussed the letter that was sent to Heather Knott, Town Justice on the Town Park/Boat Slip violations.  Councilman Gladu will contact her to gain some insight into her rational.

Councilwoman Frasier also stressed the need of making people aware that there is trailer parking up at Vicki Frasier’s lot on Decker Hill Road.

The Casella Waste Management representative did not show up for the meeting.

Motion by E. Frasier, seconded by R. Gladu to approve no changes to the contract with Casella Waste Management and extend the contract to June 1, 2011.  All voting yes.  Motion carried.
