Guest: Loriann Shura and Jamie Barudo from the General Codes gave a presentation of how the General Codes for the Village of Richfield Springs could be updated and what the cost of the project would be. It was explained that the cost of the whole project would be $8000.00 with out the e-code. If the e-code package is chosen, it would add another $995.00 to the price and there would be a $995.00 per year for maintenance fees. The e-code would allow the village codes to be put on the website for anyone to look up at any time. The basic package would be hardcover and would include 3 copies that would be kept in the Village Clerks office. Any additional copies would cost $65.00.
Chris Butler gave a report on the Sewer Treatment Plant. He reported a new fan motor in the blower room had to be installed, 55 gallon drum, big tank been eliminated, received new gator, tractor and truck, put 3 tons of sand in west dyna sand filter, then took east dyna sand off line to clean and maintain and found a problem with the airlift pump, which is what makes the filter work. Need to purchase a new airlift, for $2982.00 and should be here by Feb. 15th, 2010. That does not include shipping and handling. Once the new pump is in, the old one can be taken out and be refurbished through a local machine shop, to be prepared if and when the other pump should breakdown. The new pump must be in to do this. The total cost for the new pump will be approximately $3442.00 which also includes the replacement of the wash rings. The old one is temporarily fixed. With the new SPDES permit there were more tests that needed to be done on the influent water. Chris was not aware of this until he was filling out the Dec. DMR (state report). He called the DEC and made them aware that we wouldn’t have any results for the ammonia and the total phosphorus on the influent for Dec. 2009 and Jan. 2010. They told him to write this at the bottom of the DMR. Also, if high flows occur and the holding pond overflows (bypasses), it will be necessary to test everyday a bypass occurs. The samples from this bypass need to be sent to the lab to be analyzed. The longest the bypass has been needed was 5 days in a row from major flooding. This extra sampling will start in Feb. 2010. Also, the contractors meeting on Jan. 21st. 2010 went very well. Blue Heron would like to start with some preliminary things possibly in February. Also, there is a water leak at the corner of James St. and Elm St. The DPW crew will fix Jan. 28th, 2010.
* Resolution made to approve the purchase of the airlift pump for the Waste Water Treatment Plant and to include the cost of the freight, made by Trustee O’Connor, 2nd. by Trustee Dawley, Trustee O’Connor-yes, Trustee Dawley-yes, Trustee Patrick-yes, Trustee Kurkowski-yes and Mayor Frohne-yes.
Trustee Patrick asked Chris if Bob would be spending any time at the water plant to learn the operation procedures. Chris answered that if any one did it would be Chris or Jim, because they have the license to operate it. Also was asked if Bob Graepel has rescheduled his test yet, answer no.
Public comments:
Gerry Zavitch wanted to know if the Village could do something about the Rudenko property. The garage is falling down and is a hazard. He has taken the appropriate steps contacting the County Codes Officer and has had no response back. The Attorney suggested the Mayor send a formal complaint to the County Codes Officer. The Mayor agreed and said he would do that.
Gerry also asked if Suzanne Christman would be able to stay on the ZBA board now that she is employed as the Deputy Clerk/Treasurer for the Village. He was told that was not a conflict of offices but it would be a personal decision on her part.
Ken Dreis stated that the Cemetery Commission has been getting statements about the way the cemetery money is being invested. He has spoke to numerous people and all has said they can invest anyway they want. A man from the cemetery State Dept. said they could invest anyway they feel will be in the best interest of the cemetery commission. Len Breen, 518-474-6226, is the contact at the Dept. of State. Names and numbers were given to the Mayor as to who Mr. Dreis has called.

Trustees Reports:
Trustee O’Connor-
1) Water plant, still losing water, not surfacing and is not showing up at the sewer plant. The water plant is putting out more than the sewer plant is taking in.
Tom has to test all the time, the chlorine residuals are hard to keep under control. As of now, we are in violation of the organic solids because the federal and state governments keep changing the standards. Tom Shypski would like to come to a board meeting and explain what it is and what can be done. Mayor Frohne will speak to Tom about coming to the last meeting in February. Also, Tom is having a problem with one of the pumps.
2) Sewer plant, very nice equipment. Also having a problem with a pump.
Trustee Patrick:
1) There will be a shared services meeting on January 19th, 2010. Mayor Frohne will be attending the meetings as an alternate when available. Trustee’s Patrick and Dawley are the village board representatives.
2) Cemetery commission: discussion on changing to 5 members, Paris will check to see what the regulations are for this change. The Village codes say a board member should attend all meetings and be a voting member. The cemetery board members will be appointed at the organizational meeting with the length of terms appointed with each member. Trustee Kurkowski suggested changing to plot owner rather than open up the positions to the county. After discussion, Mayor Frohne asked Attorney Cavic to check into this and the issue will be tabled until the January 27th, 2010 meeting.
3) Trustee Patrick asked for an explanation of the benefits for our employees for length of service. Attorney Cavic stated that up to 12mo.-1 week, up to 24 mo. - 2 weeks, 48 mo. to less than 120 mo. - 3 weeks, and over 120 mo. – 4 weeks.
4) Trustee Patrick would like to check into having the billing for water/sewer bills be changed to quarterly as opposed to monthly. During discussion, it was brought up the costs of postage; the amount of cards used, the time and gas it takes to read the meters, and was suggested to check surrounding villages to see how often they do their billing. Was decided to table this until the January 27th, 2010 meeting.
5) The letter dated 1/42010 from Joe Spytko was addressed. The tests results are compliant. Was stated the DEC has a meter that can measure the quality of the air. The engineers say the more BODs the better. The samples that are being tested are within the limits. The Mayor will talk to Kevin O’Connor of the DEC and also the village engineer to see if he can get an exact number to use as guidance for compliance.
Trustee Kurkowski;
1) Wanted to bring to the board’s attention that any meeting with 3 or more board members is an open meeting. Was stated Mr. Freeman will fine between $100.00 - $300.00.
2) Had 3 complaints from a village resident about snowmobiles on the streets. They are also running on the sidewalks heading towards the Genesee Restaurant.
Trustee Dawley:
1) Has been working with Mayor Frohne on the website. They are hoping to have it done by the end of January 2010. And at the next meeting he is hoping to have a flow chart for everyone to see.
Attorney Cavic:
1) Contract negotiations: Executive session
2) Attorney was approached regarding the election law. We currently have 3 seats for trustees open for election. The candidates for nominating petitions must submit name, position, and the term. If there are 3 nominees for the 2 year term and 1 or no nominee for 1 year this is the way it will be listed on the ballot. A write in is also a possibility. If there are candidates listed for the 2 yr. term and not a candidate for the 1 yr., term, there would have to be a special election for the 1 yr. term. This can not fall to the candidate with the least amount of votes. Unless a seat is vacated due to death, or a disability, the Mayor can not appoint someone to the position. The seat for the 1 yr. term was opened due to the trustee filling the vacant seat of the Mayor, so therefore the seat must be up for election at the March 2010 elections.
Motion to go into executive session for personnel matters, made by Trustee Patrick, 2nd. by Trustee Kurkowski, Trustee O’Connor-yes, Trustee Dawley-yes, Trustee Patrick-yes, Trustee Kurkowski-yes and Mayor Frohne-yes. Gerry Zavitch, Wayne King left at this time.
