VB Meeting 12.08.09

I split the audio from this meeting.  Just a reminder that the first part of the meeting can be heard if you go to the H.O.G.s at Bay topic.  Other than Mary Compeau's presentation, is the mayor asking Carol Shepherd if she had any public concerns.......Carol was quick to suggest to the mayor that I might have some concerns......I did not!  In the second part of the audio [located below] are the following agenda items.



Correspondence:
Letter from Barb Fenzel

Trustee Reports:
Jury: 1min:29sec, Jarvis: 1min:49sec, Drake: 2min:50sec, Roy: 3min:15sec, and mayor: 3min:30sec.

Old Business:
Summer Concert Series at the Park 4min:24sec.  Dealmaker used to be the corporate sponsor for this event.  The Chamber has assumed this event from the Historical Society and is asking the Village and Town Boards to become the sponsor for this event.  The estimated contribution from each board would be $2,500[6min:45sec].

Code Committee members 8min:04secs.  The newest member is Mike Putnam.  The other members are Ron Thomson, Shookie Millett [chairman], Carol Shepherd, Kay Doheny and Trustee Roy [liaison].  According to the mayor, one of the items that the code committee needs to address is  the Reformed Church members parking in no parking zones 10min:15sec.  Several weeks ago the board gave the PD the go ahead to place warnings on vehicles that were parked illegally on Sundays.  Further instructions from the board included the PD issuing tickets after the warning period.  The mayor went on to say that he is not in favor of selective enforcement of laws and ordinances.  But if you listen to tonight's discussion, the mayor is now in favor of changing the ordinance to exempt the no parking rule from 10am till Noon on Sundays for the Reformed Church.  Greg Millett was quick to point out that the mayor needs to do this for all the churches not just the mayors church....[ouch].  Sounds like selective enforcement to me.........


New Business:

Request from the Chamber for the Village and Town to share the expense to purchase a 40' X 100' tent for summer events 12min:12sec.  In the past the Chamber rents the same size tent for events like Blues In The Bay and the T.I.R.R. events.  The rental costs the Chamber about $2,500 to 2,800 for each 4 day event..  The cost to purchase this tent would be $13,000 to 15,000.  The question is........who takes responsibility for setup and take down?  How about liability?  Storage and repair are other factors.  Can someone else borrow it? The following is a slide show of what Party Rentals has to do to set this beast up.



Christmas and New Years 2am to 6am winter parking enforcement 17min:39sec
Riverwalk update 23min:49sec. 
Electronic Scrolling Event Calender 30min:20sec......this is a great idea!  The original thought was to place it by the marquee.  I think a more visible location would be where the long term parking sign is located between Poor Johns and Capt Visger B&B
