A public hearing of the Village Board was held April 7, 2008 at the firehouse 16 Saratoga Ave, 6:15 PM.

Roll Call: Trustees Denno, Densmore, Enekes & Lescault were present.

Mayor Winslow opened the meeting and read the public notice as advertised in the Post Star on March 28, 2008 re: proposed 2008/2009 budget.

Treas Fuller presented the proposed budget in its entirety. Highlights of the proposed budget include the need to raise $1,427,450 in taxes, the use of $205,893 from fund balance, and increasing the tax rate to $9.21 per $1,000, (a five percent increase from last year).  Inside water rents would increase by $12 per year, outside water rents would increase by $18 per year.  Inside sewer rent would increase $10 per year, outside sewer rents would increase by $20 per year.

PUBLIC COMMENTS, QUESTIONS & CONCERNS

Treas Fuller explained the budget items in detail and answered numerous questions from the public.  Members of the public also asked about what services were going to be eliminated or reexamined.  The Board stated that the collection of recyclables will cease as of June 1, 2008.  The Board is still planning to remove snow from the sidewalks.  No major blacktopping projects are planned; repairs and patches are in the budget.  Members of the public also questioned the equitability of dividing the fire department budget between the Town and Village instead of having a fire district.  Chief Kelley explained the disadvantages of creating a fire district, such as the possibility of the costs to the taxpayers increasing based on a budget set by a fire commissioner.  Mayor Winslow also pointed out that the community may lose use of the firehouse community rooms if it is taken over by a fire district.

With no further input from the public, Mayor Winslow thanked Treas Fuller and closed the public hearing, 7:10 PM.

The proposed budget will be sent to the State for their review.  The Board scheduled a special meeting of the Village Board to be held April 23, 2008 at 8:30 AM in the Village Hall to pass the proposed budget after State review.
