Mayor to issue statement and board plans volunteer thank-you after Samascott Orchard barn fire
Summary
Mayor Dorene Weir said the board will send a communication about the barn fire at Samascott Orchard (5 Sunset Ave.), compile a list of assisting fire departments and volunteers, and pursue a spaghetti dinner to thank responders; several logistical follow-ups were identified.
Mayor Dorene Weir told the board she is preparing a communication from the Village Board about the barn fire at Samascott Orchard, located at 5 Sunset Ave., and is waiting for the fire chief to provide a list of all assisting fire departments, the Ladies Auxiliary and Rescue Squad, plus contact information for chiefs. The minutes record the mayor’s direction to compile that assistance list before sending the statement.
Board members discussed organizing a spaghetti dinner to thank volunteers. The minutes list four practical follow-ups: request a quote from La Bellas for catering; contact ICC to ask if students (or an honor society) need volunteer hours; check whether the fire trucks were not in the firehouse bay and whether the firehouse can host the dinner; and create a SurveyMonkey for chiefs to respond with a head count. The minutes do not show final decisions on date, cost, or which volunteers will be asked to run the event.
