Town Board Explores Options for New Noise and Nuisance Ordinance
The Town Board discussed the need for a noise or nuisance ordinance to address repeated resident complaints regarding disturbances such as loud noise, barking dogs, and power equipment usage. While acknowledging previous attempts to enact such an ordinance, challenges related to enforcement, particularly measuring noise levels objectively (decibel readings), were highlighted. The board is exploring a 'nuisance' approach focusing on prohibited activities during specific quiet hours (e.g., no power equipment before 8 AM on weekends) and considering lessons learned from other municipalities like Glens Falls. The goal is to create an enforceable ordinance that balances residents' quality of life with the needs of contractors and businesses.
Town Board to Solicit New RFQ for EMS Billing and Control Services
The Town Board is considering issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for EMS billing and control services. The current provider has been in place since 2007, and the town seeks to update requirements, including reimbursement consulting and patient satisfaction reviews, beyond basic billing and collections. A key driver for this review is the discovery of 400 missed PQRs (Patient Quality Reports) in the previous year, highlighting a need for improved provider oversight. The timeline proposes RFQ release in mid-August, with a 30-day response period, followed by evaluation and a potential provider approval by mid-October.
Town Board Considers New Temporary Clerk of the Court Position
The Town Board discussed creating an additional temporary full-time Clerk of the Court position to cover for an upcoming retirement. Elizabeth Deltrie was proposed for appointment to this temporary position, effective July 28, 2026, until January 26, 2027, at an hourly rate of $25.43. The board moved to vote on the resolution.
Town Board Debates Revisions to Food Truck Ordinance
The Town Board held a workshop discussion regarding proposed revisions to the town's food truck ordinance. Key points of discussion included defining 'restaurant,' establishing a minimum distance of 300 feet from other establishments, streamlining the application process, clarifying insurance requirements (naming the town as an additional insured), setting a six-month permit duration for $300, and establishing a minimum 30-day review period for applications. The board aims to set a public hearing for the next meeting.
Candidates Interviewed for Town Ethics Board Positions
The Town Board interviewed candidates for the Ethics Board. Martin, a retired individual with extensive experience in auctions and non-profit work, and Jeff, a retired CPA with a background in ethical compliance, were interviewed. Both candidates expressed a commitment to public service and understanding of ethical principles, with Jeff specifically highlighting his 40-plus years in accounting requiring adherence to strict ethical rules. The interviews touched upon the need for non-political appointments and the process for handling ethics complaints, with past discussions noting the low volume of formal complaints and the board's role in recommending changes to town code.
