Quick
update on 5/27/14/ BOS Meeting
After
the pledge, a moment of silence was held for John Davis.
Bob
Markel presented the Town Administrator Report
The
highlights include: The sale of foreclosed properties on Thursday May 29th;
bid opening for 252 Baldwinville Rd; and beginning talks with TMLWP to discuss
vendor warrants, payroll services, dispatch services a PILOT payment or in kind
service. These talks will continue on June 10th.
A
common victualler license was approved and signed for the Great Wall of China
on 5 Central St. in Baldwinville.
The
BOS formally accepted the bids for East Templeton for the boiler and roof. It
is good to see this project continue.
Many
one-day liquor and entertainment licenses were approved for Otter River
Sportsmen’s Club.
Bids
were opened for 252 Baldwinville Rd. Two bids were received. One bid for
$35,000 and another bid for $175,000. After debate on the merits of these bids,
the BOS voted to accept the highest bidder. The town does not have the
resources to rehab this building. The consensus was to take the financial loss
and put the building back on the tax roll.
The
second round of interviews was held for Town Administrator. Both finalists Fred
Ventresco and Ed MacDonald made thoughtful presentations to the BOS. These
interviews will be aired on Channel 8 as part of this BOS meeting.
Discussion
was held on making Memorial St a one-way street. The addition of the sidewalk
as part of the new road configuration has left no room for parking if Memorial
St. remains a two way street. There will be hearing to gather formal input from
the residents of the area before Memorial St. becomes a one-way road. Both the
police chief and the fire chief spoke in favor.
The
BOS re-affirmed the authority given to the tax title custodian (Holly). Holly
will handle the disposition of tax title properties to be auctioned on
Thursday.
The
BOS discussed the plans to move to East Templeton. Volunteers (who signed
waivers) worked last Saturday to prepare some of the rooms on the first floor
for painting. The administrative tasks of room configuration and phone service
were handed over to Bob Markel. We
will need more volunteers to help! Dianna Morrison is the point person for site
work at ET. If you are interested
in helping out, please complete this
survey so you can be contacted.

I am relieved to see the roof on the new Town Hall is going to be replaced. If it was not for the work of David Smart, Jeff Bennett, and Will Spring the building would not be in the shape it is in, pretty good for it's age. The tarps did the trick, but a new roof has been needed for a good long time. I am glad to see Rick Bankowski bid on the boiler. It is good to keep the money in town. Bev.
