Regular Meeting June 8, 2022 Page 2 Larry also notes he also got quotes from Granite, Stadium and Mack for Truck prices, Milton, John Deere, CAT for excavator prices and one from Tenco. Only one from Tenco it is the body for the truck and the equipment and that is where all are parts are from, best value for the Town. M. Peets states we don’t have to do this tonight but by fall we should so it can be ordered. L. Hewlett notes the Granite is $150,000 is just cab, chassis, and frame then goes to Tenco for body. It would be about $260,000-$270,000 depending on which way we went. International would be one year earlier than Mack. Mack we would want the Allison transmission, so will be $15,000 more for that transmission with Mack but is included in the price already. Stadium has a better deal with Allison for their own transmissions. We won’t get this for a bit they will start in 2023 to order. Excavators would be a year from time we ordered it. D. Bellinger asked what the guy’s preference would be. The guys are split on what they like. Apples to apples they are close. Mack frame is bigger. Stadium doesn’t ride as smooth. C. Rose asked how soon we need the trunk? L. Hewlett states we are due to get a truck 2024 but we need to at least order or will take longer. Stadium would be here year earlier. J. St. Hilaire asked do we pay when we order? L. Hewlett states no when all done but we will look into grants to help pay. Larry also told them they put a clause in if the price goes up, we don’t have to take truck if too much. Hopefully we can get excavator like Stockholm with the grant as well. The CAT has a high flow pump and the other doesn’t. But the John Deere will run it just fine. For the price I would go with John Deere and there is a bucket to attach to it for ditching but both apples to apples again with the specs.

Assessor- Leon Shorette has submitted his written report for May 2022; a copy is attached to original of these minutes. Grievance was pretty calm night compared to last year. NYS put out a report and we only had 3 discrepancies that he will look into and check in the roll book.

Code Enforcement- Bob Forbes has submitted his written report dated 06/08/2022; a copy is attached to original of these minutes. Recently we had a complaint of chickens in Town of Brasher and another noise complaint in Helena with loud music. Tomorrow morning, we are going to meet with Town guys to clean up that property in Brasher Center. Property owner is ok with that. The dispensary that was up on 37C is a problem. M. Peets took pictures and talked with the county and we can tell them to shut it down because we have a law written up. Down the road we need to get a committee going to see if we plan to opt in and the parameters. At the time we should have a board member on that committee. Bob Forbes asked what the recourse is if they do open a dispensary. M. Peets states we would have to get NYS troopers involved and do a cease-and-desist order. M. Peets notes he already spoke with the judges on it as well. Mr. Forbes asked if they thought that area was in land claim maybe that is why they feel they can move forward with this? M. Peets states we don’t have an agreement yet on the land claim. The county attorney said we do need to enforce our codes to keep order.
