Supervisor Borgos-Opened the Meeting - Requested Town A ttorney to speak to the Town
Board regarding the A viation Mall
A ttorney Dusek-I think this Board is somewhat familiar with the sewer connection by the
A viation Mall and there was some concern back a while ago concerning the hook up and
lengths of time they wanted to hook up to the sewer district as well as some issues they
had raised as to whether they should have to pay for full years sewer service in light of
the fact that the sewer was only available to them as October 7, 1989. In any event an
agreement has been reached with, this is their agreement they proposed it, so I assume
that they are in agreement with this proposal. Whereby the Town would refund to them
75% of the 7985 sewer cost paid for operation and maintenance. This would be basically
through, if you figure out 9 months, January 7st. through October 1st. The second thing
is that they will agree to pay all other taxes for 88, 89 and 90 and they will not challenge
them. In addition they were going to request an extension of time of three years in which
to hook up their entire plaza however they understand that during this tim~ period they
will still be required to pay all sewer charges ;ust because they are not hooked up they
still pay. The Town is basically agreeing that it has no problem with this except that and
they will obtain a variance and whatever else is necessary to give them some time or if
we need to we are sot'ing we do not have any difficulties in amending the local laws. We
are not agreeing to necessarily legislate you are ;ust agreeing that you will, that this is
what your intent is. You further agree that they do not have to cap their floor drains in
the mall, this was a bone of contention with them because they say they clean the floors
and they need a place for the water to go when they are done cleaning it, and Tom Flaherty
has since indicated that he and the City do not have a problem with that. They want another
further sum of $773.00 of interest for over paid amounts this figure actually though has
more to do than ;ust interest, I cannot remember what it was now, they are considering
it interest and they feel that" they are entitled to that amount. Six, the parties agree that
the sole cost and expense, that we can inspect their sewer lines at our costs. Seven, is
;ust a canned language that this is the entire agreement and if anything is illegal that,
that part will be void and the rest of the agreement will stand. Eight, is ;ust saying that
this binds everybody including errs and its successors. Nine, if you have got any notices
you have to send them return receipt requested. Ten, if the agreement'will not be binding
until the Town Board actually passes a resolution authorizing Steve to sign this agreement.
It has turned into a relatively straight forward agreement at this point.
Supervisor Borgos-rvoted that this would be a credit rather than a refund...it is the easiest
way for us to hand it in our billing.
A ttorney Dusek-What I would suggest that, is that, instead of when the Board, if this is
acceptable to the Board we entertain a resolution we ;ust indicate that it will be a refund
or credit and that the agreement will be amended accordingly.

of things for us and to meet with DEC, that was done several meetings ago, and then they
hove a second proposal that I authori zed the beginning of and not the whole thing this was
for Rist Frost to "!eet with Paul Dusek and the property owners of 73 Quaker Rood to discuss
the needs of Hovey Pond and to work out on agreement for the easements and that 011 has,
been done now I just wont to be sure that w'e hove Town Boord approval on the record,
that was not to exceed $4,900. for engineer services my guess that will come in substantially
below, the first one come in below. A further resolution accepting 0 proposal from R ist
Frost at 0 price not to exceed $9,600. for large scope of services going from where we
left off to update the previous field surveys, prepare 0 written narrative describing the
sequence of construction and the diversion of the stream channel modify the conceptual
drawings presented earlier prepare 0 letter to DEC requesting permit modifications make
changes per DEC review, contact New York Dam safety division, contact the mining division,
develop 0 written narrative for describing the proposed mining operation to reclaim the
site, develop cross sections indicating final conditions, complete the permit applications
prepare a letter transmitting the required information, make changes per review.
That will toke us 011 the way through knowing what we hove to do there os for os excavation,
permits to move everything and the construction of the dam, everything except the design
