Salter Quote – The quote of $15,441.92 for a new salter to be paid out of the
2026-2027 equipment budget.

  MOTION to purchase the new salter from Valley Fab in the amount of
  $15,441.92 from next year’s budget made by Trustee Nick Enders.
  Seconded by Trustee Lisa Voss. Unanimous. Carried.

Tree Quotes – Two quotes have been received, one by Natures Pride and one
by Good Neighbor Services. Both with two options, remove and clean up 40
trees, no stumps or remove and clean up 20 trees, no stumps. The prices
were very similar. The board discussed going with the 20-tree option, where
both contractors were priced the same at $7,500. It was decided that since
we have a relationship with Natures Pride already that this would be the
contractor chosen.

  MOTION to approve the quote for $7500 from Natures Pride to removes
  and clean up 20 trees with no stump removal made by Trustee Richard
  Bley. Seconded by Trustee Nick Enders. Unanimous. Carried.

Santello Drive - The issue is ongoing and getting worse. We need to talk to
Richard and in the mean time do what we can to help the residents effected.

Dewey Avenue – discussion about the quote to replace the water line. It was
decided to table to see if we already have engineering drawings from the last
water line replacement.

Bridge Reserve – approximately $34,600 in the reserve. It was found that this
reserve is unneeded and the funds will be moved to other reserve funds.

  MOTION to approve moving $28,000 into the Highway Reserve and the
  remainder moved into the Fire Reserve made by Trustee Lisa Voss.
  Seconded by Trustee Corinne Leone. Unanimous. Carried.

Drug Policy – Discussion took place to decide how to move forward with the
current drug policy. They felt only doing the DPW made sense. Revise the
contract and policy to only reflect DPW employees required to have testing
done due to the size and types of equipment this department drives.

  MOTION to approve the changes to the Drug Policy to reflect the DPW
  being drug screened once a year by Trustee Lisa Voss. Seconded by
  Trustee Nick Enders. Unanimous. Carried.

SRO – A meeting took place with Scott Taylor from the NCCSD to discuss
the SRO contract. A request for more money per hour as well as the new Gas
Pump that is needed, Scott expressed they would pay for half of that cost.

NCCSD Contracts – there were no changes made to the Salt, Gas or Postage
Meter contracts, they just need to be renewed.

  MOTION to approve the NCCSD contracts for Salt, Gas and Postage
  Meters for the 2026-2027 year made by Trustee Lisa Voss. Seconded
  by Trustee Richard Bley. Unanimous. Carried.

Resignation – a resignation letter was received by Dave Haidon to remove
himself from the ZBA board because of his recent appointment as the
Building Inspector creates a conflict of interest.

  MOTION to accept Dave Haidon’s resignation made by Trustee
  Richard Bley. Seconded by Trustee Nick Enders. Unanimous. Carried.
