• Board held brief discussion on the available Police Car from Attica. Mayor Skeet, Trustee Russ and Officers were able to view the car on Friday. They reported that it appears to be in excellent shape, has low mileage and is police package equipped. Attica would take it off the road once bids are in.

• Mayor Skeet reported that Kevin McCarthy and Officer Yueckstock did get the unmarked Taurus wagon stripped of all police equipment. Determination will be made as to whether to change the filters and pu it out for bid as is.
• Some discussion was held regarding whether to budget for a bulletproof vest. Clerk Thomas will contact O’Connell grant writers about the vest grant that is offered. It is a 50/50 grant.
• Mayor skeet mentioned that at the Police meeting last week they talked about in-house training. He would like to have Officer Yueckstock do some training for the seasonal officers. He also mentioned we still need one more seasonal officer. The ad has been placed but applications so far have only pre-employment training.
• Mayor Skeet updated the Board on the Maintenance department. He mentioned a brief string of bad luck with the snowblower breaking down, a pipe on the sewer jetter cracking and the 220 line in the Maintenance garage shorting out. He reported that Maintenance man Kevin McCarthy has gotten them all repaired.
• Mayor Skeet also mentioned he looked at the fence surrounding the sewer compound and will have Officer Yueckstock take pictures of the snow damage for the insurance company.
• Mayor Skeet reported that Kevin McCarthy will be coming to the Committee meetings from now on to give the Board an update on the Maintenance department. Kevin is also getting together price quotes for some equipment for the budget.
• It was also mentioned to consider the cost of paving in the sewer compound for the budget. It would aid in keeping the compound plowed in the winter. The Police Department is also looking into the possibility of impounding vehicles at the Sewer plant rather than having them towed to Genesee Co. Sheriff’s when the need arises. It could be a source of additional revenue.
• Mayor Skeet mentioned that the Aeration tank at the Sewer plant was plugged up again. They think that possibly the grinder is not grinding fine enough. VRI is checking further into it.
• Motion was made by Trustee Russ and seconded by Trustee Peterson to go into executive session to discuss personnel issues at 8:01 pm. Motion carried.
