Supervisor Preston would like to establish a town truck replacement program that would periodically
replace a town truck.

There are 2 large trees at the Pleasant View Cemetery and one pine tree at the Haselton Cemetery that must
be removed carefully. Supervisor Preston asked for bids from Sawteeth 2 (D Craig Holmes) Keene N.Y.
removal of (1) large cotton wood tree $2,600 –removal of limb on large cotton wood tree $500 and the taking
down pine tree in Haselton Cemetery $550. for the total of $3,650.
The second bid was from A Cut Above Tree Service Keene N.Y. $2,720 for (1) large cottonwood wood tree
Removal of cotton wood limb from Cotton Wood tree $540.00 and one white pine tree from Haselton Cemetery
For $1,155.00 totaling $4,415.00

RESOLUTION 26-09 BOARD WILL ACCEPT THE BID FROM THE LOWEST BIDDER, SAWTEETH-2

Motion Darin Forbes Seconded- Rarilee Conway all in Favor

Supervisor Preston suggested flagstone in front of the visitors Bureau and removing the railroad ties and sidewalk. Rhoda Morrisroe donated $2,500 toward the improvements.

Supervisor suggested using the $3,000 remaining in Gary Hoffmans justice fund (which nobody claims or wants)
To improve sidewalks in the Town.

Supervisor Preston Suggested planting white pine around garage #2 next to Community Center, all agreed.

Board discussed which road to use the C.H.I.P.S. money the summer. Supervisor Preston said the tentative plan
Was to pave Manning Road on Quaker Mt. He stated that those people paid taxes for a long time and the road is
in horrible shape. That was the plan unless the board is against it.
Councilman Forbes- I would like to see Billhuber Rd. done to. That road is so bad you can’t hardly drive across
It right now. I don’t know how that got overlooked when the Mulvey road got done because there is no traffic on that road. You can’t drive down Billhuber Rd. right now.
Supervisor Preston-according to Bill there just isn’t enough money to do very much. He said if they do Manning they couldn’t do anything else.
Councilwoman Stevens-Which one needs it the most?
Councilman Forbes- I just would rather see a road that is already blacktopped be maintained rather than have another road blacktopped that we can’t maintain.
Supervisor Preston- I see your point but on the other hand Manning has been dirt for a long time.
Councilman Forbes- That road is better than it has been in the last 20 years probably.
Councilman Corvelli- it should drain a lot better now with everything that was done.
Supervisor Preston- They put a thin coat of crusher run on Manning. We should check it out.
Councilwoman Stevens- which one is worse?
TOWN BOARD WORK SESSION
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 2009 PAGE 2
4:30 PM- COMMUNITY CENTER

Councilwoman Conway- Manning gets more traffic but Billhuber Rd. is bad.
Councilwoman Stevens- I bet if you do a car count Manning gets a lot more traffic.
Supervisor Preston- My thought process was that the reason that was never paved was because of the waterline
So the people had to put up with the dust and dirt because of the waterline under the road. That was the excuse that was always given. So that was what was on my mind as the first one to pave because they have been forever……
Councilwoman Conway- I don’t think there are many residents on Billhuber. I think there are just four residents
On Billhuber (22 on Manning)
Councilwoman Conway- Now Haselton Road will be closed because of the bridge being replaced.
Councilwoman Stevens- They won’t be done until next year.
Supervisor Preston- They are going to pave, I’m not sure how far back on BillHuber rd., the County is.
I can’t remember how far, but it is not that far.
Councilwoman Conway- Are both roads the same length, Billhuber is probably longer.
Supervisor Preston- Yes Billhuber is probably longer I don’t think they have enough money to do the whole thing.
Well we don’t have to make that decision today. We should take a look at both and what it is it is.
Councilman Forbes- well my feeling on Manning Rd. is like yours on Lenny Preston Rd. People that live there
And bought there knew what it was, knew how the dirt road was for the last 20 years.
Supervisor Preston- lets look at both before we make a decision. We can only do so much.
Councilwoman Conway- I think if we had money to do one completely I would go for that one. Than to do one
Partial.
Councilwoman Stevens- Better a completed road than a half rd.
Supervisor Preston- I don’t think Bill has enough to do Billhuber. I never thought of Billhuber to tell the truth.
Councilwoman Conway- But he has enough to do Manning rd.
Supervisor Preston- Yes, he said the other day that he did.
Tabled of a decision in the future.

Board discussed getting 4 dog Stations and distribute them around town. Owner of Birch Tree Motel says he will
Donate one.

Supervisor Preston would like to remove little bldg in back of Community Center.

THE RESOLUTION WAS DULY SECONDED BY DARIN FORBES AND WAS ADOPTED.

RESOLUTION 16-09 WILMINGTON TOWN BOARD OPPOSES THE PROPOSED TAX CAP
ON STATE LAND
Opposition to Amending Section 544 of the Real Property Tax Law
WHEREAS, the State Legislature created the Adirondack Forest Preserve in 1886 to conserve ecologically and recreationally significant tracts of land for watershed protection and ultimately the benefit of all New Yorkers, and in creating said Preserve, legally obligated the State of New York to pay full local property taxes, "as though privately held", on all Forest Preserve lands, and
WHEREAS, the legitimacy of the State's tax payments on the Forest Preserve was upheld by the NYS Supreme Court's Appellate Division earlier this year, in the case of Dillenburg vs. NYS, in which the outcome in that case gave all Adirondack and Catskill communities assurance that state land taxes on the Forest Preserve were neither arbitrary nor capricious and that these taxes are based on the State's legitimate powers granted to the State Legislature to waive its sovereign immunity from taxation in specified places such as the New York State Forest Preserve, and
WHEREAS, while we all understand the economic difficulties that the State is facing, the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages is appalled by the idea that the Division of Budget would confuse their obligation to pay ad valorem property taxes with state aid to local communities by proposing a cap on state property tax payments on Forest Preserve lands to Adirondack towns, counties and school districts, when it would be far more constructive for state government to work cooperatively with local governments and school districts to reduce state mandates and help reduce property taxes for everyone, and
WHEREAS, the proposed tax cap would set a dangerous precedent by creating two separate ad valorem tax rates, one for the State and another for private property owners, and by doing so would shift the State's financial responsibility unequally to local taxpayers, hitting hardest those towns and districts with the fewest residents and the greatest amount of state land, which is often 60 to 70 percent of their property tax base, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages, which views the payment of taxes on Forest Preserve lands as a permanent, essential and inviolate commitment from the people of New York State, who benefit so greatly from the Preserve, is hereby adamantly opposed to any plan that shifts State spending by amending Section 544 of the Real Property Tax Law by adding a new subdivision 3, which in effect, would cap the State of New York's legal obligation to pay full local property taxes, "as though privately held", on all Forest Preserve lands, and, be it further
RESOLVED, the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages respectfully requests the Governor to eliminate this injurious proposal to cap property taxes on the Forest Preserve and rescind the amendment to Section 544 of the Real Property.Tax Law, paragraph 3, within the thirty day amendment period of his proposed executive budget and thus provide for the economic survival of our small rural communities which depend on his leadership to dispense "shared sacrifice" equitably, and, be it further
RESOLVED, that a certified copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Honorable Governor David Paterson and Adirondack legislators: Honorable Senator Elizabeth Little, Honorable Hugh Farley, Honorable Joseph Griffo, Honorable James Seward, Honorable Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward, Honorable Marc Butler, Honorable Tony Jordan, Honorable Janet Duprey, Honorable Dede Scozzafava and Honorable David Townsend.
