OLD BUSINESS
• Transfer Station Plan: Estimate provided for $18,000 in materials to create a bathroom
and meeting room at the transfer station. There is money in our building budget line that
will cover that expense.
• Route 21 Culvert Repair: Thank you to the DOT for the extra signage during the Grape
Festival. New engineering design for the retaining wall that addresses steep slopes has
been approved; work commenced again the week of Sept 21 and at this time is estimated
to be completed before Thanksgiving. The County Commissioner of Public Works has
done work on CR 12 given the wear and tear from the trucks that now are using that road
because of the delay. The NYS DOT is looking at SR 33 to determine what work might
be needed given the wear and tear to that road.
