"To give without any reward, or any notice, has a special quality of its own."
--Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Writer and Aviation Pioneer
Board Letter:
| 1. Mid-Winter Meeting: My mid-winter meeting in Albany is this Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Greg will be in charge while I am gone. I am bringing Kim with me in order for her to begin to understand superintendency issues. I brought Greg to the Fall meeting. I am sure that budget will be a hot topic at the meeting, along with continuing issues about NCLB. While I am in Albany I will be meeting with Carl Thurneau. Carl heads the facilities department at SED. He will ultimately approve our project. We will be discussing windmills and why he should be supportive of providing State Aid for the construction.
|
| |
| 2. Fine Arts: Last evening one of you, along with our high school principal reminded me that I could have responded to our student's question about a perceived lack of support for the fine Arts program by pointing out that we have built a multi-million dollar performing arts center that is better than many colleges, that we just built a multi-million dollar TV studio that is unduplicated by any school in the region, and that we just built three brand new art rooms with a huge dark room. We have grown from two art teachers to three. We offer AP art (one of the few in the region) and will shortly be adding IB art. We have annual musical productions, which each have budgets of $25,000. We have added a hall of displays showcasing each of our musicals over the years. So in case you were wondering what we do for the arts, you have done a few things.
|
| |
| 3. Instructional Goals in Building Budget: There were some great suggestions last night regarding the goals. Adding mastery rates is long overdue, as is establishing passing and mastery rates for students with disabilities. Moving forward with our current initiatives of model schools and IB is critical. Now that we are achieving our 90% college bound goal, it is time to see if they are finishing school and if they are getting enough direction as to what kind of college they should be attending. I couldn't have gotten a better response from you if I had ghost written it for you. Thanks.
|
| 4. Building Project: You may recall that our most recent stumbling block to the building project was that the architects didn't believe we had enough students to build a new school. I engaged a consultant that I have worked with for many years. He was able to show how we can build the number of classrooms needed. There is a possibility that I may need the Board to pass a resolution on class size sometime in the future, but based on what I saw at the meeting, that is doubtful. That is the good news. The bad news is the architects are concerned about our state aid for the project. We will begin tackling that issue at out next meeting. Our timeline was to have everything completed and ready to present to you by the end of January-beginning of February. The classroom problem slowed things down so we won't meet that deadline. Because we aren't voting until the fall-winter, I left plenty of cushion so we are still fine. By the end of the next meeting I should be able to tell you when we can present to the Board.
|
| 5. OP Power Outage: On Tuesday morning at appx. 8:00 the power was knocked out to Ontario Primary. Upon investigation, it was determined that a tree branch came down on wires which blew a main fuse near the road. Buses were already en route. We utilized the emergency call system and notified parents of OP children on the situation and advised them that they had the option of picking up their students if they cared to. One parent did actually take their child home. Several came in to check on their kids. Unfortunately, the school remained without power all day, but it created only minor difficulties. The lunches were prepared with generator backup and meals adjusted as necessary. It was not so cold out that temperature was a factor and parents were very pleased with the notification system.
|
| |
| 6. Ski Team/Club: As you can well imagine, our skiers are not enjoying the temperatures. This unseasonable weather is causing them great difficulties. They have been able to have 2 races and essentially no practices, so it has made for an extremely difficult season once again this year. There is still plenty of winter to come, so hopefully they will remain optimistic and get their chance to enjoy their sport as well.

COMMITTEE REPORTS:
TOWN CLERK MARRIAGE OFFICER APPOINTMENT REQUEST
Councilman Keyes once again brought to the attention of the Town Board the request of Susie Jacobs, Town Clerk, to be appointed as a marriage officer. Councilman Keyes mentioned that at the meeting of August 16, 2007, this discussion was tabled until Supervisor Plant could speak with the Town Justices. Councilman Keyes asked the Supervisor for the outcome of this discussion and to bring the matter before the Board for a vote. Supervisor Plant stated that Judge Young did do wedding ceremonies, but not many; and he believed that Judge Wolfe did not do ceremonies any more. He continued to state that other residents in town did wedding ceremonies. Councilman Keyes asked, “What is the problem with the Town Clerk performing marriages?” Discussion ensued, with an explanation of who, what, when, where, and why these ceremonies would take place. Councilman Yale stated that who you wish to be married by is a personal choice; and if the Domestic Relations Law §11 permits the Town Clerk be appointed as a marriage officer, then so be it. Councilman Yale said that this should not interrupt or interfere with any operation that another Townsperson is coming in for. Closing/restricting the office would not be acceptable. Susie Jacobs, Town Clerk, stated that she was trying to provide a service to Town residents which, in her opinion, had been requested.
Motion by Councilman Yale to appoint Susie Jacobs, Town Clerk, as a marriage officer with the provision that there not be an interruption to the general public.
Seconded by Councilman Keyes.
Discussion: Councilwoman Hawkins-Mance commented that she was concerned about the disruption with the staff at the Town Hall. She continued to say it was her personal opinion that, as a Town, she was not sure we wanted to be in the business of marriages. Councilwoman Marini said that she was concerned at the number of guests that might be at the marriages and the lack of accommodations for this at the Town Clerk’s counter. It was stated by both the Supervisor and Councilwoman Marini that once appointed, it could not be changed.
Roll call vote: Councilman Keyes Aye
Councilwoman Marini Nay
Councilwoman Hawkins-Mance Nay
Councilman Yale Nay
Supervisor Plant Nay
Motion rejected.
RECREATION PURCHASE OF A BUSH HOG
Motion by Councilwoman Marini requesting approval for the Recreation Department to purchase from DJM Equipment a 6-foot, 40/45 horsepower Bush Hog, to be used with one Highway tractor, for an amount not to exceed $1,500.00, with transfers from budgeted lines A7110.22 Building Equipment ($1,175.00), A7110.47 Fuel Usage ($312.00), into budgeted line A7110.21 for the purchase.
Seconded by Councilwoman Hawkins-Mance.
Discussion: Councilman Yale inquired as to what lines these amounts were being transferred from. He was told Building Equipment and Fuel Usage. Councilwoman Hawkins-Mance asked where the bush hog would be used, throughout the Town? The response was in the parks, mainly Sherburne Road Park. Councilman Yale asked if Parks had a tractor that would handle this work. The response was “no.”
Roll call vote: Councilman Keyes Nay
Councilwoman Marini Aye
Councilwoman Hawkins-Mance Aye
Councilman Yale Aye
Supervisor Plant Aye
Motion carried.
SNOWMOBILE COMMITTEE
Councilwoman Marini stated that she passed out the Snowmobile Law, with the comments from the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office. The Sheriff’s Office made a recommendation that we change the definition of all the types of vehicles relative to what is in the Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) Law. The Sheriff’s Office also questioned Item “B,” Penalties/Seizures of Vehicles. Council members’ discussion ensued with regards to this. Final decision was to eliminate item “B” of §166-5 with a penalty of up to $250.00. Councilman Yale inquired as to going out of their way to define Town Parks but yet there was no mention of, or restriction on, Town Parks in the rest of the ordinance. It does refer to Town Property, and Town Parks are part of Town Property. Councilman Yale would like to see the ordinance clarified to include Town Parks/Town Property. Councilwoman Marini will take this discussion back to the Snowmobile Committee for further comments.
Councilman Yale requested that the media assist them in spreading the word to residents that snowmobile riders should respect owners’ property when it comes to snowmobile riding, knowing the rules and abiding by them.
PERSONNEL COMMITTEE
Councilwoman Marini stated that January 1, 2008, would be a holiday for the Highway Department and all of the other Town Offices. The remaining holiday schedule will be adopted at the Organizational Meeting on January 3, 2008.
P.E.T.S. PROVIDES FOR RESIDENT ON BILLS ROAD
Councilwoman Hawkins-Mance reported that a Town resident on Bills Road was a recipient of a new doghouse and pet cable from Pet Edibles and Training Support (P.E.T.S.). They also came out and padded the house with straw to provide warmth for the pet. She asked that Susie Jacobs, Town Clerk, correspond with a thank-you letter to P.E.T.S.
ASSESSOR’S OFFICE ITEMS SURPLUS.
Motion by Councilman Yale to declare a BENQ computer (serial number XO8-54516), HP Deskjet 970 CXI printer and Regency MCA611 radio, surplus from the Assessment Office.
Seconded by Councilwoman Hawkins-Mance.
Adopted: Vote Ayes 5 Nays 0
JUSTICE COURT CLERK PART-TIME POSITION DISCUSSION:
Supervisor Plant informed Council members of information he received today regarding the part-time clerk for the Justice Department. He continued to explain that he had sent an e-mail to the Justices requesting that they let him know what they were planning on doing about the new part-time help that they wanted and had not received a response. Yet they had contacted the Town Clerk and asked her to run an ad. Discussion ensued reviewing the ad. Councilman Yale stated that the authority to expend had already been given with the approval of the 2008 budget. But the procedure for hiring someone and job description needed to be discussed. Further discussion ensued, with Council members advising the Town Clerk to advertise for this position.
