Collins board approves November abstracts, schedules kennel-permit hearing, advertises for DCO and proclaims National Rural Health Day
Summary
The board approved payment of $75,051.27 in vouchers, scheduled a Dec. 18 kennel permit hearing, authorized advertising for a Dog Control Officer after a resignation, and adopted a proclamation recognizing Nov. 16, 2017 as National Rural Health Day.
At the Nov. 6 meeting the Town Board approved Abstract #19 (Resolution #203) authorizing payment of vouchers #726–778 totaling $75,051.27, with line-item breakdowns across general, highway and water district funds announced by the Supervisor.
The board set a public hearing for 2018 dog kennel special-use permit applications for Dec. 18, 2017 at 7:30 PM and published a notice listing applicants including Linda M. Bowdish and Sarah A. Bowdish (5076 Woodside Road), Karen Fedick (13688 Brewer Road), Sandy Maloney (14600 Collins Center Zoar Road), Melody Esposito (4038 East Becker Road) and Deborah Sisson (4993 Scrabble Hill Road) (Resolution #206).
Because the current Dog Control Officer is resigning effective Dec. 31, 2017, the board authorized placing an advertisement in the Gowanda Press soliciting applicants the week of Nov. 11; applications must be returned by 4:00 PM on Nov. 30, 2017 and preference will be given to Collins residents (Resolution #207).
The board accepted the Supervisor’s report for September 2017 (Resolution #211). The board also adopted a proclamation supporting National Rural Health Day for Nov. 16, 2017, calling attention to rural healthcare access issues and recognizing the New York State Office of Rural Health, the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health and Bertrand Chaffee Hospital (Resolution #212).
Additional operational updates reported earlier in the meeting included highway maintenance, transfer station hauls and equipment needs, parks maintenance and completion of hydrant flushing in Water District No.1; Jason Opferbeck reported he had discussed a water tie-in with corrections and stated the town would take over the line and the state would pay the costs. Councilman Mary Clark raised employee compensation questions including raising a clothing allowance and accrual of sick time toward overtime; the board left those matters for further review.
