| 5. Gullace Update: On Monday we had a meeting with the school (Mr. Atseff and myself), the Town (Councilwoman Smith, Supervisor Kelsch, Attorney Alan Knauf, Assessor Luteyn), the County (Attorney Wyner), Attorney for all parties Mr. Refermat and Appraiser John Zimmerman (?). The purpose of this meeting was for us to receive an update from Mr. Refermat on the status of his progress and to hear from the appraiser on his findings and his readiness to go to court. We learned a few facts on the appraisal he completed in terms of comparisons with other parks in the upstate region. Mr. Zimmerman also shared his views on the viability of supporting this case in a courtroom. Mr. Refermat has established a scheduling order date of August 12 in front of Judge Nesbitt.

| 6. Building Use Forms: You may here a grumble or two about asking community groups, boosters or others to resubmit their Request for the Use of Facilities (Buildings, Fields or PAC). This has occurred because we have found that they were submitting outdated forms with inaccurate fee structures. We approve our new fees at our July reorganizational meeting, and what often happens is that the forms go through with old fee structures. Then correcting this at a later date causes issues, when groups that plan tight budgets are not expecting higher costs from the school. In order to avoid that situation, we have asked that these forms either be resubmitted, or initialed by the organization submitting the forms.
