The Town Board met on Monday, June 9, 2008 at 7:30 pm. All members were present.

Supervisor Peter Dolan announced that “the Lucky” has been paved in preparation for the Skate Park, which is due to be installed on Wednesday. It will be open for use approximately 2 weeks after the installation.

He also announced that the Town has received a grant of $3000 to install another organic toilet. It has not yet been decided where the toilet will go.

A discussion was held about the Sterling Mine Estates development in Eagle Valley. Despite having been given several deadlines to do so, the developer has not finished the roads. As a result, the Board voted to take the $200,000 from the letter of credit it has been holding as a bond and finish the work. If there is any money left when they are done, it will be returned to the developer.

A resolution for a local law entitled “Heavy Towing Regulations” was made. There will be a public hearing for this law at the next regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, June 23. Also on that date, the Board will schedule their Summer Meeting dates for the months of July and August.

An organization in New Jersey has requested permission to hold a Bicycle Event on Long Meadow Rd on August 2. Chief of Police Daniel J. Carlin pointed out that August 2 is also the opening day of the Renaissance Faire. The Board decided to ask the organization to start their event at 7:30 am (a half hour earlier than requested,) so they can be finished by 11 am.

In other business, Councilman Darling proposed a new law which states that no person can be a member of two Boards at the same time. Attorney Don Nichols will draft the law, which will be presented for public comment on June 23.
