Supervisor Annable presented the sales proposal for purchasing the refuse carts.  We will again purchase from Rehrig Pacific Company and piggyback off the Massachusetts Contract.  As a result of the survey for sizes, it was decided to order 500 of the 65 gallon and 1700 of the 95 gallon.  It was decided to order 100 spare lids for those who wish to trade out their 65 gallon recycle carts in exchange for a 95 gallon for recycling as well.  The refuse carts will be blue with black lids. 

The warranty on the carts is for 10 years, our recycle carts are in the third year.  Delivery for the order should be in October.  The proposal also includes cost of a distribution module, RFID tags, set up fee and the handheld device.  Total of the order would be $105,993.00.  Currently in the budget is around $130,000.00 and the grant monies from the recycle carts is due to be added to that fund.

Purchase from Rehrig Pacific

RESOLUTION 80-2016

MOTION by Councilman Reed, seconded by Councilman Hill to accept the proposal from Rehrig Pacific and piggyback on the Massachusetts Contract FAC-87, in the amount of $105,993.00.

It has come to the attention of Councilman Reed that there has been some dissatisfaction over the hours of the Town Hall.  Some residents would like the Town Hall to be open later on a weekday since their work schedules do not allow them to come in during normal business hours.  Clerk Boyler presented a chart with all Niagara County municipalities and their normal hours.  All other offices are open Monday through Friday and only one Town is open past 5 pm.  After discussion as to what would be a good option, it was decided to extend Town Clerk hours on a Tuesday until 6:30 pm.  This will be advertised in the fall newsletter and will begin in September.  A log will be kept to determine if this schedule benefits the residents.

With all discussion completed, the meeting was adjourned at 6:00 pm.

Respectfully submitted:                                 

Cynthia S. Boyler

Town Clerk
