Reports from Town Officers:  Supervisor Lewis reported he had received a call about snow plowing on Cherry Drive and he had sold two more used culverts and now has two used culverts left for sale.  Supervisor Van Asten reported on a concern he had when installing a new 911 physical address number on Hilbert Street in Zachow.  There are already three numbers on a post in front of a driveway and putting another number could be confusing if there was a rescue call as to just where the rescue squad had to go.

 

Chairman Smith reported (1) there was no N.E.W. Para-Medic Squad meeting this month (2) the Fire Department presently has 44 members with 39 being active.  For the year to date there have been 93 runs compared to 89 last year with 9 calls for the Town of Angelica.  The Department is still in the running for a FEMA Grant through Round 34.  The Benefit Booyah Sale with the Knights of Columbus was very successful.  There have not been any new offers for the two old fire trucks.  The town will be asked to pass a resolution in regard to a new inspection code – NFPD-1.  (3) he, his grandson and a friend picked up 38 car tires and 1 tractor tire that someone backed into a field and dumped.  They added these tires to those that were already picked up during the tire pickup day and the load is waiting to be delivered to the vendor who recycles them.   (4) Control Group came and inspected the three furnaces in the town hall and found that the heat exchangers, plates and ignitors have to be replaced in the two furnaces serving the hall, and  (5) he had been asked for a contribution from the town for a sports poster.

 

Clerk Powers gave the board a summary of Public Works expenditures compared to budget as of the end of this year which showed the expenditures are just slightly lower than budgeted and also gave the board an estimate of the year-end balance for the town.    There were no building permits issued since the last report given in November.

 

Report from Town Planning Commission Chairman:  Town of Angelica Planning Commission Chairman Richard Ferfecki was not present at this meeting.

 

Public Comments:  MOTION (Lewis/Van Asten/PASSED) to open the meeting up for public comments.  Barney Eckberg inquired as to how the County was going to be enforcing the A-290 minimum depth for lots and was informed that the town would have to do its own subdivision ordinance if they wish to enforce a 290 ft. minimum depth for lots and also a lot size of two acres versus the one and one-half acres required in the new proposed zoning ordinance.  James Mills inquired as to what has happened in regard to “No Parking” signs located on Main Street in Krakow.  Richard Smith brought up a concern about a car being parked on the corner of Cuba Drive and Elm Road that is obstructing plowing of the road.  MOTION (Van Asten/Lewis/PASSED) to close the public comment portion of the meeting.
