MAYORAL REPORT:
WWTP
Meeting with Fonda- August 21, 2018 at 6:00 p.m.: We sent a F.O.I.L. request
for some document, didn’t set well. We rescinded the F.O.I.L. request, but did
ask for 2011-2015 WWTP budgets. We are putting together comprehensive payments
for the WWTP. Met with Brett any payments made on the WW grants can be deducted
from our quarterly payments. We want the treasurer to be employed by the WWTP,
not either of the village treasurer. Both Villages will closely monitor the
WWTP. One WWTP Board Member asked why he wasn’t included in the meetings. His
term ended May 31, 2018.
Laberge:
Went to Office of Community Renewal. in Albany. Vickie and Sarah are working on
the dedicated files. Included in packet is copies of the Inter-municipal
Agreement that Brett drew up and the WWTP agreement with Fonda. Both Villages must
sign before 2016 can start. There is some discussion on 2014.

Meter Report: We have received our first shipment of meters. Postcards have
gone out. Someone asked about opting out of the new meters, opting out means no
municipal water or sewer. Mayor
