Fire Chief O’Hara stated the Camillus Fire Department applied for a DEC matching grant for $1,000 for water rescue items.

 

Mayor Fletcher requested that the Board note the changes to the committees due to the resignation of William Renshaw.

 

Mr. Paul Legnetto addressed the Board stating that Two Plus Four has called Barton & Loguidice for information regarding the Maple Drive project.  Barton & Loguidice would like an authorization from the Village Board to proceed with these studies.  He feels the developer should set aside $15,000 in escrow for engineering fees.
