• Motion by Trustee Russ & seconded by Trustee Sobczak to approve the Treasurer's Report. Motion carried.
• Discussion was held regarding possible auto sales being conducted at 29-31 East Main Street. Zoning Officer Reeves informed the Village office that the vehicle(s) are licensed and registered under dealer plates and registration. The location is zoned R-2. Trustee Patterson read the description of R-2 from Section 512 of the Village Zoning law to the Board, which indicates that operating vehicle sales from that location would incur several violations of Section 512. If sales are to be allowed from that location a Special Use Permit must be obtained and approved by the Planning Board. Trustees requested the Clerk to contact Mr. Reeves about sending a letter to the homeowner regarding the Special Use Permit requirement.
• It was brought to the Boards’ attention that some non-Village residents have been utilizing the dumpster on Village Roll-off days. It was suggested to check ID’s for all who bring items to the roll-off.

Kevin McCarthy of Maintenance should also be notified to contact EASCO to pick up full dumpster immediately after roll-off.
• Status of the Kennelly property was brought up and the Board requested Clerk to contact Village Attorney Kevin Earl to proceed immediately with whatever legal procedure is necessary in order to take care of this issue.
• Goose Neck Creek cleanup was discussed, including getting permission from homeowners to go on their property and plans for implementation of the project. The possibility of utilizing prisoners to aid in the cleanup was also mentioned. Trustees Russ and Sobczak will meet with Kevin McCarthy to set up a procedure and necessary notification and permission paperwork to proceed with the work.
• Trustee Peterson gave an update on the Zoning Board of Appeals and the status of the K & K property proceedings thus far. Public hearing is set for August 14th and full Board is in place to inspect plans and review and vote on variances requested.
