Zoning Report:

Mr. David reported that he had issued 1 permit since the last meeting to Joel Munoz, 8409 Ransom Road, for a pool.

Road Superintendent:

Mr. Kelley reported that the pea gravel had been removed and the new playground mulch installed. He said using the backhoe and utility tractor donated by Mr. Parker they were able to dig out around the playground equipment, removing the pea gravel and replacing it with the new mulch recommended by the insurance company. Mr. Kelley said the border around the playground will be installed this spring, after things dry up. He said the remainder of the mulch was hauled to the Kimball property for storage until it is needed.

Mr. Kelley said weather permitting he would be mowing the road sides for the last time, and switching the equipment around, getting the snow plows and winter equipment out of the storage barn, replacing them with the mowers and trailers used during the summer.

Trustees:

Mr. Leber said he had talked with the Gerry Gross, Assistant Erie County Prosecutor, about the ability to recoup some of the cost for renting the storage barn because of the lost floor space used by the fire department substation. Mr. Gross said it would depend on how the fire levy was worded and he would have to research that before he could answer Mr. Leber’s question.
