Mayor Maley – I would like to open the regular meeting for the purpose of adopting The Village of Hunter Sewer Operating Budget. The residential rate increased to $123.08 from $121.02. The commercial rate decreased to $386.24 from $417.50 last year. See Resolution 2016 – 031.

Mayor Maley – At this time since all the budgets, General Fund, Sewer Operating and Water Operating are passed, I would like to have a motion to rescind the Property Tax Cap Law which would have enabled us to override the State’s tax limit. See Resolution 2016 – 032.

Mayor Maley – Hunter Fire Co. No. 1 is having their block party on August 6, 2016. There is a new requirement this year as they are having beer on a public street. They requested a waiver of the open container law for that event. I am in favor of this. See Resolution 2016 – 033.
