Village of FleischmannsBoard Meeting

January 12, 2015

The Village of Fleischmanns Board of Trustees held their regular Village Board meeting on Monday, January 12, 2015 at the Skene Memorial Library at 6:00 p.m. Present were: Mayor Todd Pascarella, Deputy Mayor Benjamin Fenton, David Yates and Larry Reilly. Village Trustee Harriet L. Grossman was absent.

Mark Project/Peggy EllsworthPeggy Ellsworth advised that the movie theatre roof had been patched & at present is not leaking.Plans for the spring include a full brick façade restoration which entails taking it down brick by brick, putting the correct sheathing behind it & putting the same brick back in place. This is a very specialized field and in order to do it correctly, the marquee needs to come down. There could be some issues; the condition of the marquee is sketchy. Many parts of it are rotted. Our biggest fear is that if it comes down, it might crumble in hand. We are going to digitally laser scan the entire marquee, not only for dimensions but for details. It will then be stored in the Village garage while the façade is being restored. Depending on the condition, it might be used as a fund raising tool to do the restoration of the marquee itself while it’s on the ground. Should it crumble, we would have the documentation necessary to recreate it & get it back up. Then we will be looking to do the flat side of the roof which is on the front of the building, look at energy efficient windows the same size as SHIPPO approved & energy efficient doors for the two store fronts. The theatre doors need to be retained for historic preservation reasons & we will be looking to create like doors to compliment them with SHIPPO approval for the store fronts. This will eat up the entire budget.The Smart Growth application is due in 2 week time period. This is for the Rte. 28 corridor from Olive through Andes open to villages, townships and not-for-profits. The thought was to apply for a Gateway Beautification Program where the Village could actually hire a landscape architect, stand up on Rte. 28 & look down at that entrance to the Village and come up with the renderings and the working drawings as to weather a sign needs to be tilted; so when you come off the mountain from the ski slope or from Kingston, Fleischmanns is presented as a welcoming environment to come into. Peggy Ellsworth thought we could submit a competitive application.The Mark Project will be opening its small business development fund. Guidelines and applications should be available Thursday afternoon. There is a list of over 60 potential applicants that will be getting notification via email. It will be posted on the Mark Project’s website & on Facebook simultaneously. These are loan-grant combos open to existing businesses, new businesses, & not-for-profits. It’s for capital expenditures only. Equipment and furnishings are eligible expenses, but marketing, etc. is not. This is the 1st

tier. We have half the money in place in the bank. Once we spend that money, we can draw down the other half. Grant loan combos will be for 75% of the project cost. How it’s divided between grant & loan will be left to the review panel. Mark is there to help through the application. Peggy Ellsworth is not on the review panel. Once the review panel makes their recommendation, it goes to the Mark Project Board of Directors for final approval. Time frame would be: applications become available at the end of the week, there will be a post-mark date of March 5, 2015, reviewed in the following three weeks with announcements in early April. Funding will be available as soon as we can get funding in place.Peggy Ellsworth advised that at the end of March they will be holding a two day conference. It’s a Main St. boot camp which will be held at the Hanah Inn. We will be partnering with the state and several other agencies.

Purchase Orders:Motion made by Benjamin Fenton to approve the following purchase orders for January, 2015: Water Department: USA Blue Book, 8 foot curb key, total cost of request: $48.18 plus shipping, large item shipping charge, reason for purchase: access deep curb boxes. Sewer Department: Slack Chemical, chlorine bleach, 55 gal. drums, 110 gal. @ $2.66/gal., total cost of request: $292.00, reason for purchase: chemicals used in the treatment process. Motion seconded by Larry Reilly. Benjamin Fenton-Aye. Larry Reilly-Aye. Todd Pascarella-Aye. David Yates-Aye. Harriet L. Grossman-Absent. Motion so carried.

Water DepartmentJim Buchan presented a draft request for changes in water service to the Village Board which will require residents to provide signed requests for services along with a written signed statement as to their correct mailing address, etc.

Mayor Todd Pascarella said there were two vehicles parked in the upper corner of WWTP property which he verbally requested be removed & they are still parked there. The Village Attorney, Carey Wagner, will send a letter to the Merwin’s requesting that the cars be removed from the municipal property.

Delaware Engineering/John BrustJohn Brust presented 6 copies of a draft water use law. John advised there was a change to section 6 regarding water meters. When everyone is comfortable with a proposed amended water use law, then the Village can proceed to hold a public hearing. The Tweedie Construction invoice $53,450.04 (Payment Request # 1-Period ending 11/30/14) for the work done under Main Street Stormwater Improvements will come out of CHIPS funding.The Park Snack Shack will be re-bid in February. Jeff Francisco found flood doors at approximately $3,000.00 versus the $30,000.00 which hopefully will bring the price down.

Delaware County Bridge 80 ReplacementBridge Street over BushkillIn 2012 the NYS Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) reviewed the Bridge 80 data supplied by FEMA and concurred that the proposed replacement poses “no adverse effect to historic properties” as long as a Phase 1 Archaeological Assessment is completed. The SHPO did not indicate any adverse effect to any standing historic structures and for this reason the current study does not include an architectural APE.The Village Board acknowledged that they have no knowledge of any archaeological significance in the affected area. Mayor Pascarella will fill out the survey form, sign it & forward same to Dan Sanford of DPW.
