Notice of said meeting and proposed agenda of then known subjects was given by posting in the three following places within the Village: Countryside Bank, Post Office, and Village Office window, and by publishing in the Syracuse Journal-Democrat on May 3, 2010; and by serving a copy of said notice to each member of the Board of Trustees more than 5 days prior to said meeting.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

 

            The amount of the Keno check was $1,020.48

            Water consumed for April was 692,000; water paid for 634,000; -58,000 for month;

 +59,000 YTD.

            There were no public comments.

            An update on the BBQ was given by the Clerk. The Fun Run was approved by the County as well as the Sheriff’s office. Clerk will contact Fire Chief Vodicka and ask that the Rescue Squad be on stand-by. Various youth groups will join forces to serve a polish dog meal at the park.  The American Legion Auxiliary of Post #100 will feed the 43rd Army Band at the Duncan Building. Clerk will put up flyers and remind everyone to bring their own lawn chairs. There will be city-wide garage sales that day, but the dedication of the park shelter will be delayed until next year as the project will probably not be finished in time. Clerk was instructed to contact Ashland Tree Service and have them remove the branch above the playground equipment before the BBQ/concert.

            The speeders on Main Street were discussed. Stoner made a motion to purchase 4 heavy-duty, portable speed bumps and two warning signs; Wassenberg seconded, and motion carried 5-0.

            Due to the weather, not much progress had been made on the park shelter project.  

 

 

NEW BUSINESS

 

            Oelke made a motion to donate $100 to the Unadilla Fun Run, Schomerus seconded, and motion carried 5-0.

            The passing of LB910 concerning the licensing fees of dogs and cats and sending $1 to the State for each was discussed.  Schomerus made a motion to leave the licensing fee at $5 and to not license cats at this time; Wassenberg seconded; motion carried 5-0.

            Clerk passed out state LP gas codes received from Steve Vodicka. After reviewing them, Crownover stated he would inspect the LP gas tank on the property of Rick Royal at 245 8th Street.

            Stoner made a motion to pay membership dues to the Unadilla Merchants Association in the amount of $50.

            Clerk relayed concerns from the Planning Commission about the situation in Hickman as it would pertain to the removal of the BBQ shed/old concession stand. Stoner made a motion to give the building to Dwight Kastens in lieu of a moving charge and/or demolitions costs as the building had 

to be removed before construction of the park shelter project. Schomerus seconded, and motion carried 5-0.
