Town Board Minutes March 2015

 

and other departments know in case they receive any calls on this.

Joe Mercurio:  spoke re Hidden Valley.  It wasn’t the water pump, it was a circuit breaker that blew.  I am thee former plant operator.  I went down and reset it.  The water pump was replaced 10 years ago not 16 or 19 years ago.  I have the records.  The circuit breaker that popped was fixed within 2 hours of phone calls coming in. It has nothing to do with the town at all because it’s a private company.  Calls will come to either me, Mike Brock or the owner of the water company.

Diane Loeven:  Hometown Helpers training session is scheduled for 3-23-15 from 6:30-8:30 at Village Hall; pre-registration or walkins welcome.  She would like it on town website.  She will send to Supervisor.   The seniors will begin meeting again on March 10.  Chief Rickard asked Diane to let seniors know that if an Orange & Rockland employee comes they should show their ID card before they are let in their home or on their property.
