1990-06-01 SP `b SPECIAL TOWN BOARD MEETING JUNE 1 , 1990 10 : 00 A. M . TOWN BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT Supervisor Stephen Borgos Councilman Marilyn Potenza Councilman Ronald Montesi. Councilman Betty Monahan Town Attorney Paul. Dusek. TOWN BOARD MEMBERS ABSENT Councilman George Kurosaka Supervisor Borgos-Requested that the Town Attorney Speak to the Town Board. . . . Attorney Dusek-There are two matters that needed immediate Board attention, one is an affirmative action policy statement , that is required to be adopted by the Board under the water pollution control revolving fend application that we are making to DEC , this would be for the 2 . 4 million dollar loan , This basically indicates that you will do whatever you possibly can to involve minorities and women business enterprises in the project to be financed by the loan program. In as much as thf project, is over with there is not a whole lot you really can do but they still require that . There is some question as to exactly what expense this will involve , contract number 7 which is yet to be, bid I am presently trying to get an answer on it , in any event this will be needed if we are to continue with our application. This affirmative action resolution does not commit you to any sort of spending at the moment. it just. simply indicates that you will do what you can to try to make sure contractors use MBE' s . The second resolution is a resolution authorizing a contract with Caroline Pierce this contract was reached with Mrs . Pierce in accordance with the Board ' s previous instructions to try to get this done this past week. This sets the purchase price at $15 , 000 . basically , since the Board was anxious t.o proceed with this purchase I thought it would be a good idea to get this to you now because you have to start a 30 day time period of referendum, before this is approved. Basically this is a straight forward contract there is nothing other than you pay the money you get the property, we are also getting from her in addition to the property any r_ eparian rights you may have including the right to take any ice, this was something that had turned up in title a few places we wanted to make sure we got ownership of that so that does riot come back later to bother you. Discussion held by the Board-Councilman Potenza requested a time limit for sale be phrased in this . . . Attorney Dusek noted that there will be a closing next week. . . it was agreed by the Board. to pay for this property through i_inappropriated balance (Surplus Funds ) . . .Town Attorney noted that if the Board purchased this property in this manner no permissive referendum would be required . . .
