Nick- decided to wait until contract 5 is completely done to present to the board an engineering amendment so they would have a better idea of where they are with the budget. He also passed out an explanation of the bill for the SPDES Permit Required Reports. SPDES report has been completed. Actual cost to was $35,000.00. The cost to the village is $13,944.87.
Mayor Frohne then asked Nick Green about Express Mart, regarding a previous discussion, was wondering if Mike Harrington had any ideas of what could be done to solve the odor problem. He said Mike Harrington said nothing other than cleaning out the grease traps and vents. The sizing of the equipment might possibly too small for what they thought the usage would be. Nick asked for a copy of the tests results to be sent to him.
Tom Hallock – Fire Chief
Tom stated that the fire dept voted to purchase a new ambulance. There is $103,024.09 in the fire department reserve account. They decided to take money out of the reserve and put down on ambulance, along with the trade in value of the current ambulance and then take the balance out of the treasury. This has to be put out on bid because any amount over $35,000.00 must be put out for bid. A discussion took place about the fire dept. forming a fire district.
A man from a heating company took serial numbers from furnaces in the fire hall, and will check to see if it can be changed to natural gas. He will also price heaters for the fire hall that hang from the ceiling. The fire hall is now being heated by kerosene.
The Russian man is still painting the inside of the fire hall.
Mayor Frohne asked Tom to meet with him on the 23rd. of February to discuss what is needed for next year’s budget.

There have been a lot of problems with this company and Donna asked for permission to change to a new uniform company being that the DPW men prefer to continue with the uniforms. After discussion, it was agreed by all members to search for a new company for the men’s uniforms.
Jim Malinowski spoke to Donna on 2/8/2011 and informed her the sand supply for the roads is getting very low. He needs to order 150 ton more from Barrett Paving, Co. An estimated cost for this would be $2500.00.

Donna also informed the board that a letter will be coming from the state regarding the state grant with the approval from the budget modification paying $10,000.00 for the chimney work and the balance will be used for painting the trim of the library building.
Mayor Frohne:
A letter was received from Brad Smith, the President of the Richfield Springs School Board stating they feel it is not necessary for the village to have a crossing guard for the noon time. Mayor Frohne will inform Doug Bordinger of this change. This will free up 1 ½ hrs. for Doug to do more zone enforcement work each day.
The attorney for the village informed the Mayor that the zone enforcement officer can not give parking tickets.
There are still a lot of water meters to be put in individual residences. Mayor Frohne will get the list from Donna and will do a work order for them to be done. The other matter the Mayor had a concern about was the maintenance work that is being done. He feels this should be done on regular hours, not overtime. The board agreed with hm. Mayor Frohne will speak to Bob about this.

Trustee Pierson:

Trustee Patrick:
Reported on the library board meeting that was held on Feb. 7th, 2011. They elected new officers; Mike Marmet replaced William Taber as president, and Marge Woodrow was elected as trustee. Also discussed at the library board meeting were the work orders that are to come through the village office. The work that has been done by Bob on the kitchen ceiling is coming along nicely and a work order has been put in for snow removal on the flat roof of the library building.
Trustee Patrick feels that it is time to eliminate the testing at Express Mart (ReRob) and a request a permanent solution. He feels the fine is just a passive way of ReRob to just continue on the same as it has been for the past few years. It was discussed that the fines be raised progressively each month from $250.00 that it is now, until they take care of the problem. After a long discussion, Mayor Frohne asked the board if they agreed for him to ask the village attorney to draw up a letter to ReRob for a course of action to a permanent solution. Motion was made to have Attorney Merzig write a letter requesting a permanent solution to the problem made by Trustee Patrick, 2nd. by Trustee Pierson, Trustee O’Connor, Pierson, Patrick, Kurkowski and Mayor Frohne voted yes.
Trustee Patrick also wants it clear that he feels the water meters should be installed in all properties that have not had one put in as soon as possible.
The other issue Trustee Patrick wanted to discuss was the manpower and the number of hours needed for the village employees. He feels the employees could be utilized more efficiently by cross training.
Trustee Kurkowski: Nothing at this time.
Motion to go into executive session concerning personnel matters made by Trustee Kurkowski, 2nd. by Trustee Patrick, Trustee O’Connor, Pierson, Patrick, Kurkowski and Mayor Frohne voted yes.

Public Comment:
Ken Dreis spoke to the board about a phone call and later a letter he received from a woman in Colorado who was upset about the response she received from the village treasurer when she called about information regarding the food bank. This letter was passed out to all board members and he asked Mayor Frohne to respond back to this person in regards to this letter.

When the boiler was put in, it was not mentioned to us about putting antifreeze in the system to prevent the pipes from freezing. We asked the service man to get an installation price for 40 gals. of boiler anti-freeze, all misc. parts and labor included. The cost would be $1450.00, with ½ down and the balance paid upon completion. After discussion, a motion was made to make a resolution to approve the purchase of anti-freeze to be put in the boiler system, all miscellaneous parts and labor, at a cost of $1450.00 made by Trustee O’Connor, 2nd. by Trustee Pierson, Trustee’s O’Connor, Pierson, Patrick, Kurkowski and Mayor Frohne voted yes.

Donna also asked the board about checking into a hot water on demand system for the Library building. After discussion, they approved for her to get estimates on what would be better way to go with natural gas.
Received a letter from the auditor for Donna to sign, suggestions to make corrections need to the internal control. She will keep the board posted on this.
Responded to the letter received and brought in by Mr. Dreis.
One more thing, the federal law has changed as for the bank account fees covered under the FDIC, back to $250,000.00, she is writing two checks on the money market and putting it back into NBT so it is under $250,000.00.
Mayor Frohne:
General Codes Review- started on page 5 and worked through page 22. Next group will be reviewed at the last meeting of the month in February.
Trustee Kurkowski:
Had a snowmobile person approach him in a store and was very rude about the village board discussing closing the streets to the snowmobiles. He also received a phone call from a man who did not identify himself but told Trustee Kurkowski that he was almost run over by a snowmobile in front of the Post Office.
He is very concerned about the steps on the gazebo in Spring Park; the Chamber of Commerce is raising money to have it restored, and the stairs have a very steep incline with no hand rails. He would like to have the board set standards and limitations for the use of the gazebo to prevent someone from getting hurt.
Trustee O’Connor:
Reported that the sewer plant is still a mess. He asked all the board members to go to the sewer plant and talk to Chris and check out what has been done. Also that the water plant has suffered many repair problems lately. The plant is 14 years old and parts are breaking down. A monthly report from Tom and Chris for the Water Plant and the WWTP was given to all board members.
Trustee Pierson:
Asked why salt and sand has to be put in the procurement policy book for approval when it is in the budget? It was explained this is a one time purchase and it is not on a county contract like the fuel purchases are. The sand and salt is not put out on bid like the fuel is. Therefore, anything from $1000.00-$5000.00 must have prior board approval and two (2) estimates.
The 550 truck at the DPW, Jim Malinowski got a quote from Skinner and Damulis for $31,000.00. He is expecting another quote from another company.
Trustee Pierson also read a note from Jim Malinowski listing what he would want to replace the F-800 for plowing; this truck is constantly breaking down and needing work done on it. This letter attached to minutes. Mayor Frohne will be sending out letters to each dept.head asking them to put down what they will need with next years budget.
Also asked if we had received the letter from the Richfield Springs School Board in regards to the need of the crossing guard at lunch time. Was told we have not received it at this time.
Trustee Patrick:
Had a meeting with Trustee Pierson and Jim Malinowski and expressed their concerns about cross training with the zoning person. One discussion was to put the zoning person on more hours of zoning work, and putting a man from the sewer plant to DPW, and Jim make the decision from day to day as to if he wants an extra man at the water, sewer or DPW. This would free up zoning officer to do more zoning work because Jim would have one man from the DPW to do crossing guard in the morning, with the exception of snow storm days. Another idea was to have the zoning man work crossing guard for 5 days per week which would be 5 hrs. in the afternoon and this would free him up to do 15 hrs. of work on the zoning work.
Trustee Kurkowski asked if Bob Graepel has moved any further on getting his sewer license. The answer is no, not yet. Mayor Frohne has spoken to him about this.
Motion to adjourn made by Trustee O’Connor, 2nd.by Trustee Kurkowski, Trustees O’Connor, Pierson, Patrick, Kurkowski and Mayor Frohne voted yes. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:30 pm.
