Town Board approves corrected minutes and payments; discusses roads, airport, and abandoned buildings
Summary
At its March 10 meeting the Town Board approved a minutes correction and payment of bills, heard a roads report including an e‑cycle registration request and LRIP funding transfer, directed ownership checks and legal review for an abandoned lot with a $16,500 raze estimate, and set its next meeting for April 21, 2026.
The Town Board met March 10, 2026, in the Civic Center and approved a correction to the Feb. 11 minutes and payment of bills while hearing updates on roads, the airport, library improvements and a potentially hazardous abandoned lot.
Treasurer Pam Kalies reported account balances as of Feb. 28, 2026: Checking $834,339.63; Savings $371.78 and $7,643.01; and LGIP $190,421.80. After the financial report, Public Works Director Mark Jerome updated the board on several roads and equipment items. Jerome said Com 2 Recycling asked the Town to register as an E‑cycle Center, which would make the Town eligible to collect electronic devices and have them picked up at no charge. He also reported that a boat‑landing rebuild permit has been issued and that a delivered cardboard baler needs installation. Jerome told the board the County notified the Town that the Brady Road LRIP project is incomplete and that the Brady Road LRIP funds have been transferred to the Otter Bay project.
On airport matters Jerome said an easement document requires review by the town attorney before the Town can approve it and that construction of the snow removal equipment building is under way. Chair Royden Bloom said he will follow up with the library to determine the status of painting and other building improvement projects.
The board briefly discussed the potential purchase of the former bank building but took no formal action; members agreed to delay further consideration until a formal purchase proposal is received. Supervisor Jeff Hurula raised the issue of an abandoned building and lot, referencing a state statute that gives the Town options to remove abandoned vehicles. The board directed the sheriff to run plates or VINs to determine ownership and asked the Clerk, Andy Tuttle, to contact the town attorney for an opinion. Public Works Director Mark Jerome provided an estimate of $16,500 to raze the buildings on the lot.
On procedural business, Supervisor Jeff Hurula moved and Supervisor Scott McKinney seconded approval of the corrected Feb. 11 minutes; the motion carried. Later the board approved checks #46128 through #46150, including debits and direct deposits, on a motion by Supervisor Scott McKinney and second by Supervisor Jeff Hurula; that motion carried. The board set its next meeting for Tuesday, April 21, 2026, in the Civic Center following the annual meeting. The meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m.
