The Board discussed the report received from the EPA on the Highway Department.  The Town Board will meet with the engineers to discuss a remediation plan.  The Board still would like to know why they were not informed earlier of the situation. 

Warren County Engineer Bill Lamy reviewed the report sent by EPA and recommended that we contact Dan Ryan, Vision Engineering to set up a meeting.  The meeting is scheduled for 5/26/2010 at 10:00 am.  It was established that Don Smith, Highway Superintendent will be the person to meet with the Engineer.  He will keep a daily report on meetings, times, findings, and recommendations.  Don Smith will coordinate things between the engineer and the Town Board.

Generator at the Highway Garage:

The Board questioned on if we should be it up for sale.  Also questions about the present transfer switch at the Highway and being able to use with the new generator.  Recommended that we contact an electrician for the answer.

After Memorial Day we will contact Walt Waters with his excavator, who has the needed permits to have the boat slip cleaned out.

Dick Gladu will check with Casella Waste Management on the 15 gallon bag price going from $3.50 to $3.00.  We will approve the contract after this change has been negotiated.  There is no special meeting necessary.

The Board met with Donna Wotton.  She presented what she could do with promoting the Town of Hague.  She could help with publicity and have an on going program to keep people aware of happenings.  This should be done monthly.

Suggestions were made that Donna Wotton meet with all groups & organizations in the town.  She can tell them what she has to offer and coordinate efforts for promotion.  Upon completion a report & proposal should be submitted back to the Board.

The Town Board would like a contract drawn up between Oktoberfest and Town of Hague.
