May 5, 2009 Board Meeting

The Board unanimously approved a temporary tax break involving assessments for homeowner improvements. A similar plan for historic barns was tabled so the language on the law could be improved.

Four local scout groups, Troops 50, 83, 24 and Cub Scout Pack 24 were recognized for their outstanding community service. Kudos to Scoutmasters Larry Vincent, Dan Travers, George Bafumi, and Cub Scout Pack Leader Ed O’Brien and all the scouts for their great work!

Key discussion - Councilman Grimm expressed concern that reduced staffiing for town parademics created a serious safety issue. Supervisor Runion said there had not been any staff reduction, though he later stated he had not received any complaints regarding the paramedics staff reductions.

In January, the paramedics union representative sent a letter to Mr. Runion stating the staffing cuts "would seriously compromise response capabilities, citizen safety and effectiveness of the EMS department."
