PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Update on Main Street trailers – Jim Magnuski inquired if there was any development at all. Mayor Maley and Attorney Gardner both advised that since issue is in litigation, they cannot discuss the matter at this time.
Campsite Description – William Palsgraf introduced himself as the new owner of Iva Sidall’s house. Mr. Palsgraf inquired what constitutes a campground and if one is allowed within the Village of Hunter. Mayor Maley advised that one can have up to 4 tents or RVS on their property but that beyond that, it triggers the NYS Department of Health and it becomes a campground and ruled by different requirements. Jim Magnuski, Jim Ray and Mr. Palsgraf had a lengthy discussion with the Board about the pros and cons of camping. Mayor Maley advised that he would like to do a workshop on camgrounds and Trustees Tancredi and Higgins agreed. A notice will be put in the newspaper and it will be an open meeting and anyone can weigh in their comments and concerns.
Condition of the bricks on sidewalk – Jim Ray stated the possible problem of someone tripping or falling on the bricks. Trustee Tancredi advised that all it takes is pulling the bricks up, putting sand down and putting the bricks back. It was suggested the Village workmen could handle this or maybe the Village could get some trustees from the Greene County Jail to come down and do the repairs.
