- MOTION # 110 OF 2018
- SENA MOTIONED THAT THE TOWN OF NORTH HARMONY TAKE LEAD AGENCY STATUS ON THE SEQR FOR PROPOSED LOCAL LAW #4-2018 TO AMEND ARTICLE III, SEC. 302 OF THE 2014 ZONING ORDINANCE MAP. MR. SENSKE SECONDED. YES (5): SENA, MCNEILL, ORTMAN, SENSKE, STOW. NO (0). THE MOTION WAS CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Stapleton said the local law effects properties located at SBL# 332.11-1-22.5; 332.00-2-2; 332.00-2-1 and 332.10-1-7 as indicated on the map (attachment A) of the local law. He said the law will change the zoning map by changing the current district designation of the properties from an R-3 District to the Tourist Commercial Mixed-Use District (TC-2) which is more in line with what this district looks like. He said the town had submitted a Municipal Zoning Referral to County Planning and their response had been that the proposed action would have no significant county-wide or inter-community impact and that the proposal would be a matter of local concern.
- Full EAF SEQR Review
Mr. Stapleton reviewed Part 1 – Project and Setting and Part 2 – Identification of Potential Project Impacts in their entirety with the board. Part 3 – Evaluation of the Magnitude and Importance of Project Impacts and Determination of Significance was discussed.

- PUBLIC COMMENT:
- CORRESPONDENCE:
The following correspondence has been received by the Supervisor and is available for review:
- JONATHAN HENCK – Thank you for requesting Bob Kanouff at Lakeside Campground place a STOP sign at entrance to Hadley Bay Rd.
- STEVE AND KIMBERLY GIBBS (Hadley Bay) – Email in support of CLP Herbicide Use
- ZBA MINUTES – 6/26/18
- NYS-DEC NOTICE OF COMPLETE APPLICATION – Wilson Huhn property 3025 Rt. 394 – Installation of erosion protection (390 ft. large rock rip rap) along Cheney Creek and removal of large woody debris
- DAVID GROTH – Watson Road email re Jake brakes on I-86 bridge
Mr. Stow stated that anyone living within ½ mile of that bridge is going to hear road noise and jake brakes are legal. He said we have also had complaints about jake brakes on Ashville hill.
Mrs. Ortman said Mr. Groth had contacted the NYS-DOT and they had indicated that the slope of the road prevents them from placing any signage on that road. She said he would like the town to get involved in the issue.
Mr. Stow said the road is a state road and the town has no authority.
- ASSESSOR – MAY PROPERTY TRANSFERS
- CHAUT. CO. FINANCE – 2ND QTR. SALES TAX RECEIVED $155,068.18 (Up $5,985.00)
- NYS CHARITABLE RESERVE PAYMENTS IN EXCHANGE FOR TAX CREDITS
Mrs. Thomas said she has spoken to Jim Caflish, at the County Division of Taxation and he as well as other governmental entities are questioning the legality of setting up a charitable fund that will not be used for charitable purposes. They also question whether the federal government will choose to participate. She said this program appears to be a way to circumvent the new Tax Cuts and Job Law which limits an individuals deductions for the aggregate amount of state and local taxes paid during the calendar year to $10,000.00 ($5,000.00 if single). Amounts more than that are no longer deductible. She said the proposal in theory allows each entity (state, town, village, county, etc.) to decide whether to participate in this charitable reserve program. The aim is to allow the taxpayer to characterize such transfers/payments to various government entities as fully deductible charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes while using the same transfers to satisfy state or local tax liabilities. Mrs. Thomas said she had provided the board members with packets explaining the program.
Mr. McNeill said until the IRS acts on it, it is a non-starter.
- NATIONAL GRID – WEST ASHVILLE SUBSTATION TO BE BUILT OFF SWEDE ROAD IN HARMONY – Mitigation of low voltage concerns and improved reliability of sub-transmission system

- OLD BUSINESS
- LOGGING AT BUTTS PARK AND PANAMA-STEDMAN GRAVEL PIT PROPERTIES
Mr. Stow said Mr. Sena has been working on getting some information on logging at these two properties.
Mr. Sena provided information and maps from Forecon to the board and clerk. He said one of the principals at Forecon came and reviewed the properties and then met with him. He said that although the areas were timbered about 15 years ago, the ash trees still need to be taken care of before they die off. He said the advice on the Butts Park property was that the area on the other side of the creek had not been cut previously and suggested a bridge should be put in and silt fence (all monitored). He said the timber is good but at the end of its life and now is a good time to cut. It was noted that there is a lot of dead ash and perhaps while the loggers are there, they could drop it. He said they used an average cost chart (Doyle Rule) and indicated the park has about $15,000.00 worth of marketable timber if it is full cut (14” and up) leaving some of the younger trees. He said if they did a managed cut (50-66%) you may not get good bids on the job because it is difficult to get across the creek and that is why the first time it was logged they did not cross the creek. He said to keep in mind that these figures are based on a walking estimate. He said if their company is hired there is a 10% cost. Forecon would mark the timber accordingly and they would put it out to bid and the timber could possibly realize more money as their initial estimates are more cautious. Mr. Sena said the property at the Panama-Stedman Gravel Pit has two maps; one showing the wetland area that is protected and the black outlined areas are 5 and 7-acre parcels that have not been cut heavily. Forecon’s estimate on that were about $20,000.00 on a full cut and a managed cut would be about $10,000.00. He said there is a good deal of ash on that property that really should be cut. Mr. Sena said the other person he had contacted indicated that he would bid on the project if Forecon marked it. He noted that the initial cost estimates by Forecon were at no cost to the town. He said if the timber is cut Forecon gets 10%, but if not, there will be some type of fee for the marking.
- MOTION # 115 OF 2018
- SENA MOTIONED TO AUTHORIZE THE SUPERVISOR TO SIGN A CONTRACT TO ENGAGE FORECON, INC. TO MARK TIMBER FOR A FULL CUT (14” AND ABOVE) ON BUTTS PARK AND PANAMA-STEDMAN GRAVEL PIT PROPERTIES AND PUT IT OUT TO BID. MRS. ORTMAN SECONDED.
Discussion: It was discussed that a decision needs to make as to a full or managed cut based on different colors of tree marking. It was also discussed that regardless, all of the ash needs to be cut, but you will not get any bids just on the ash. There will be no issue with boundaries as Forecon uses GPS.
YES (5): SENA, MCNEILL, ORTMAN, SENSKE, STOW. NO (0). THE MOTION WAS CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
- RABIES CLINIC AND DOG ENUMERATION
Mrs. Thomas said a date of Tuesday, 9/18/18, from 5:00 – 7:00 PM, was the tentative date chosen for the Rabies Clinic. She said approval for that date would need to be arranged with the County DOH who sponsors the vaccine and the date would need to be requested and cleared with the AFD Commissioners for the use of Station 2 for the clinic. She said John Stow would begin the enumeration immediately after.
Mr. Stow asked if we would be able to issue dog licenses at the clinic.
Mrs. Thomas said we can certainly offer the opportunity to those who wish to license their dogs at the same time. She said since the licensing program is on computer, we could use a basic licensing form and mail the original license and tag to those who choose to license at the clinic.
- HARRINGTON ARCHITECTURE – Approvals for Town/Court Building Project needed
Mr. Stow said drawings have been given to the board members and Mr. Harrington wants to move ahead to the next phase. He said there have already been some issues with the drawings relating to the generator and the storage area that goes to the mechanical room.
Mr. McNeill said he felt that more information is needed to make a decision.
Mrs. Ortman said it seems there is a lot of wasted space in the center of the design and they have only had the drawings for a short time.
Mr. Sena agreed and mentioned that a portion has a flat roof which is not a good idea for this area. He also discussed the generator and solar as they relate to cost and engineering. He said water softeners also needed to be discussed.
It was discussed that the board had not really had time to sit down together and review the drawings.
After further discussion, a meeting was tentatively scheduled with Mr. Harrington and the board on Monday, August 27, 2018, at 1:00 PM.
- PAVILION AT BUTTS PARK – Dead trees need removal
Mr. Stow said there are some dead trees that are dangerously close to the pavilion at the park and expressed concern that they might fall while it is occupied. There was discussion and Mr. Stow said he would talk to Mr. Strickland to see if the Highway might be able to help remove them as soon as possible.
Mr. Stow noted that some of the rope at Lighthouse Park has gotten frayed and needs replacing.
Mr. Sena said he didn’t have any more of the rope but would check and see if he could get some at Chautauqua Brick.
- NEW BUSINESS:
- NUWOOD CREATIONS – Pressure Wash building; Paint Deck & Steps; (cost $1,424.50)
Mr. Sena said to make sure they use a good quality paint.
- MOTION # 116 OF 2018
- MCNEILL MOTIONED TO AUTHORIZE THE EXPENDITURE OF GENERAL FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,425.50 TO PRESSURE WASH THE TOWN BUILDING AND PAINT THE DECK AND STEPS. MRS. ORTMAN SECONDED. YES (5): SENA, MCNEILL, ORTMAN, SENSKE, STOW. NO (0). THE MOTION WAS CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
- RE-DEDICATE LIGHTHOUSE; TRIBUTE BLOCKS SALLY CARLSON & JOHN CHENEY
Mr. Stow asked if the board would like to re-dedicate the Lighthouse and asked for a volunteer to take the lead on that.
Mr. Sena said he likes the idea of blocks for Sally and John. He said he believes there is space for about 20 more blocks on the wall but will do a recount to be sure.
There was discussion and the board all agreed to re-dedicate the Lighthouse around Memorial Day next year.
- SARA CARLSON YWCA – Request use of Ashville Commons for Scavenger Hunt 8/25/18, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM
- NYS-DOH – ELECTRONIC DEATH REGISTRY SYSTEM (EDRS) – Effective 8/23/18
Mrs. Thomas said that the clerk issues death certificates for most home deaths in the town and this is done in a paper format. She said in January 2018 towns with hospitals and nursing facilities were required to switch over to the new EDRS computer program sponsored by the NYS-DOH. She said the Funeral Directors Association has lobbied hard for the system to be used state wide and North Harmony will go live on the program on 8/23/18. She and Mrs. Gibbs have both done their training and are ready to begin using it.
- PAYROLL DIRECT DEPOSIT – SEE BOOKKEEPER ROBIN MILLER IF INTERESTED
- ASSOCIATION OF TOWNS – NYS New Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy and Training Requirements
Mrs. Thomas said legislation was adopted with the new state budget for 2018 that imposes new requirements on town and town employees with respect to sexual harassment prevention. She said our Employee Handbook does address sexual harassment, but the new law expands that and requires that the town incorporate new minimum requirements to include: 1) must provide training annually 2) training must be interactive and provide an explanation of sexual harassment and offer examples 3) facilitate forms for reporting. She said currently the Dept. of Labor is consulting with the Div. of Human Rights to create a model policy, so we do have time to comply by January 2019.
Mr. Stow said he thinks we may be able to purchase an online program that assigns user names and that would allow employees to take the training at their own pace within a mandatory time period to complete.
Mrs. Thomas said she would follow up with other clerks and report when further information is available.
- DIANA BEAN, CLEANING PERSONNEL – W-2 AND ADDITION TO PAYROLL
Mr. Stow said the board would go into executive session for this.
Mrs. Thomas said you need a motion to go into executive session.
- MOTION # 117 OF 2018
- SENSKE MOTIONED THAT THE BOARD ENTER INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AT 7:55 PM TO DISCUSS A PARTICULAR PERSONS EMPLOYMENT. MRS. ORTMAN SECONDED. YES (5): SENA, MCNEILL, ORTMAN, SENSKE, STOW. NO (0). THE MOTION WAS CARRIED.
Mr. Chagnon noted that NYS Open Meetings Law says you must state the purpose for executive session.
- MOTION # 118 OF 2018
- SENA MOTIONED TO RECONVENE THE MEETING AT 8:20 PM. MR. SENSKE SECONDED. YES (5): SENA, MCNEILL, ORTMAN, SENSKE, STOW. NO (0). THE MOTION WAS CARRIED.
- REPORTS:
PIERRE CHAGNON, LEGISLATOR
Mr. Chagnon said the following occurred at the July 2018 Legislature meeting:
- Lots more commendations! Commendation for Chautauqua Lake Girls Softball team for their state championship. Teddy Braidich and Jim Tytka for recovery of a missing child. Paul Snyder for exemplary work done with the City of Dunkirk water emergency. George Spanos in recognition of his years of service and upcoming retirement. Warren Riles in recognition of his retirement after 41 years of service as a Chautauqua County Coroner.
- We made a commitment of grant matching funds, previously designated for this purpose, to six NYS Consolidated Funding Applications for projects involving Chautauqua Lake and its watershed. Three spring from previous state funding which produced a stormwater management engineering study identifying stormwater projects located within the Village of Lakewood and the Town of Busti thatcan now be pursued for implementation funding. One is for a stormwater management engineering study identifying stormwater projects located within the Town of Ellicott. One is for creation of a 9 Element Plan for the lake and watershed, which was a priority recommendation from the Governor’s 2018 Harmful Algal Bloom Action Plan for Chautauqua Lake. And one is for a Chautauqua Lake Mechanized Floating Vegetation Collection project. The matching funds total $55K, leveraging total project costs of $2,280K.
- We allocated $20,500 of 3% Occupancy Tax reserve to the new Dunkirk Offshore Powerboat Racing event. The 3% occupancy tax program is for the purpose of promoting, developing, and protecting the area’s tourism industry.
- The opioid epidemic continues to spread tentacles that impact our community. Due to the increased volume of cases and the very difficult nature of the cases, County Child Protective Services has experienced tremendous turnover in caseworkers and supervisors. To try and stem the tide, we took the very distasteful action of increasing salary grades in the middle of a budget year.
Mr. Sena said the board had met with the BPU today about an engineering study for the expansion of water lines in the town to go along with the sewer project that is being worked on. He asked if it would be possible for the town to meet with him and Mr. Borrello to see if the county could determine any way of helping support the town in engineering search studies as a first step in the process.
Mr. Chagnon suggested that the request for a meeting should come from the Town to the County and BPU.
KEVIN OKERLUND, ASSESSOR
No report submitted for July.
DAN STRICKLAND, HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT
Mrs. Thomas said Mr. Strickland was unable to attend but had indicated that the highway has closed a portion of Ramsey Road and begun working on the bridge. She said he hoped to have that portion open for single lane traffic within a week or two.
BRADLEY LAWSON, ZONING C.E.O.
Mr. Lawson reviewed his report for those present. He said there are a lot of little projects going on in the town. He said he has been working on some complaints and violations; including an appearance ticket on 8/30/18 for the helicopter situation. He said he has received the signed mailing return receipt sent on that issue. He said he has issued a stop work order on a project on Rt. 394. He said there is a complaint about a living fence in Stow and he will be sending a letter on that. He said there have been inquiries on Mr. Miller’s cabins on the lake as far as what changes are allowed within the zoning law.
Mr. Sena asked if there was a Planning Board (PB) meeting this month.
Mr. Lawson said not at this point as they have nothing on their agenda. He said he has not heard anything from Mr. McCord on the proposed Violation Law and his understanding is that the Planning Board had no issue with the draft and Mr. McCord would be working on finishing that. He said in future the PB wants to look at noise ordinance as it relates to ATV’s, go carts, etc., in residential areas.
Mr. Sena asked if anything has been done regarding Tiny Homes.
Mr. Lawson said he has not seen anything, although it was discussed at last month’s meeting. He said he feels this will be something coming to our area and it will need to be addressed.
Mr. Sena said he had watched an episode on TV and all the tiny homes were on wheels.
HOWARD PEACOCK, JUSTICE
Mr. Peacock read the following report for those present.
COURT REPORT FOR MONTH OF JULY 2018
August 13, 2018 Board Meeting
$56,943.00 in fines, fees and surcharges was collected by the Court and given to the Town of North Harmony CFO for the court cases reported to the NYS Comptroller for July 2018. We opened 295 new cases and closed 357 cases.
Mr. Peacock asked the board for permission for he and Mrs. Peacock to attend the Magistrates Convention in Niagara Falls.
Mrs. Thomas said that was done at the beginning of the year as part of the Reorganization Schedule.
Mr. Peacock asked if the town had a begin construction date on the new building.
Mr. Stow said that depends on the approval date of the DASNY grant which is still in the desk audit process.
Mr. Peacock said he would like to suggest that the grant money given to the town for the project be sent back to the Unified Court System as they don’t want to wait any longer for the town to expend those monies.
There was discussion of pre-purchasing construction materials with the funds and it was not determined if this was allowable.
Mr. Senske said perhaps we could get an email confirmation from Mr. Peacock’s contact as to whether pre-payment for materials is allowed.
Mr. Peacock said we have already received two extensions on the grant, but he would contact them about pre-payment. He expressed concern that this situation may make it difficult to request future grants.
Mr. Sena asked if it would be possible to send the funds back and ask them to hold them in escrow until the project begins.
Mr. Peacock said they have not officially asked for the funds back yet and he would check on the suggestions made and would send an email to his contact.

- EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK
Mrs. Ortman said it appears there are some omissions in the Employee Handbook regarding sick leave benefits extended to full time employees non-elected as defined by 26 hours per week or greater. She would like to address the policy and create a policy potentially similar to the existing policy that other full-time employees (i.e. Highway M.E.O.’s) have for those working a minimum of 26 hours per week. She said we have two full time employees who are not elected and have no sick leave who are highly valued, and this should be addressed. She said in the meantime she would like to propose that the board extend some sick leave benefits six (6) weeks or less to an employee who may need some time to recover.
It was discussed that a full-time administrative employee is defined for the retirement system as someone who works 5 days per week; 6 hours per day; totaling 30 hours per week.
Mr. Sena said he thought the decision in executive session was that they were going to research this.
Mr. Senske said he had not seen an Employee Handbook.
Mr. Stapleton said elected employees are in a different category and receive their pay regardless as to days taken for vacation/sick.

MRS. ORTMAN MOTIONED TO EXTEND SICK LEAVE BENEFITS TO A LONG TERM APPOINTED ADMINISTRATIVE EMPLOYEE FOR UP TO SIX (6) WEEKS. MR. SENSKE SECONDED.
Discussion:
Mr. Sena asked of sick leave benefits could be defined.
Mrs. Ortman said she was thinking full pay for a maximum of six weeks based on 26 hrs./week.
Mr. Stapleton said this is based on Highway Employee benefits of 8/hr. per month of sick leave.
YES (3): MCNEILL, ORTMAN, SENSKE. RECUSED (1): STOW. ABSTAIN (1): SENA. NO (0). THE MOTION WAS CARRIED.
- MOTION # 125 OF 2018
