I had a recent meeting with Craig Milburn in regards to the Honeywell cleanup of Onondaga Lake.  As a recent Post-Standard Article indicates the dredge cleaning machinery is being placed.  Current estimates are still on target to begin the dredging process by mid-summer of this year.

     This week the Finance and Personnel Committees both met.  During the Finance Committee we discussed the year to date revenues and expenses for the Landfill and the Town in General.  Some contractual amounts have been renewed with updated negotiated numbers that should result in increased revenues and and decrease in energy expenses.

     Discussions on the landfill resulted in news that two potential projects in Onondaga County may bring some additional revenues to the Town with dumping fees from C & D. 

     In the Personnel Committee meeting there was a recent departure of a full-time Police Department Officer.  It was recommended that one of our part-time officers be offered the vacant position.  The town has also instituted a idling policy for all Town vehicles that should result in a decrease of fuel usage.

Below is the items under their Agenda heading for the Town Board Meeting.  Please note items 1, 5-8, 10 are all located within the 2nd Ward:

I recently met with Town Clerk, Martha Dickson- McMahon, in regards to the estimated savings from the elimination of the Receiver of Taxes position/office that was approved by more than a 2-1 majority in a referendum last year.  Once the transition is complete (approximately one year subsequent to the consolidation date), the minimal estimated savings of $55,555.70 are still expected to be met.  My congratulations and sincere appreciate to Martha and her fantastic staff on such a great accomplishment.

Just some interesting numbers that I do not think our residents are aware of in regards to attendance at the Erie Canal system in Camillus  – 2011 estimated visitors and usage:

• Sims Store – 207,381
• Aqueduct – 198,270
• Rt 173 access – 165,333

We need to continue to develop our plan to market our system.  The potential economic spinoff from dollars spent from the portion of users that are from outside the town could be a positive impact for us.

The meeting time has been moved up to 4:30 and the agenda is below:

1.   Review of Landfill Revenue and Expenses thru 3/31/12

2.  Review of 2012 Revenue and Expenses for  1/1/12 thru 3/31/12.

3.  Review of Lease for second floor of Town Hall Building
