REOUESTS FROM THE FLOOR
Clive Rucker, Boston Cross Road: If the town does take over the
Boston Cross Road will there be a weight limit, so that they can
keep the big trucks from comirig down the hill? There is a
tremendous amount of traffic on that road. With the park there the
speed of the cars and trucks coming dovm that road is unbelievable.
I would like to see something done about this.
Supervisor Kennedy: Once it becomes a town road we do have the
authority to post it. This is something that will be taken into
consideration to protect the road once it is reconstructed since it
will not carry the primary traffic any longer.
Councilman Wittmeyer: That could be referred to the Traffic Safety
Committee they would probably recommend putting a "No Through
Traffic" sign at the top of the hill bringing the traffic down the
Boston - Colden Road where it belongs.
Supervisor Kennedy: With the addition of the entry to the South
Boston Park at that particular Ideation it is going to become more
important that we slow traffic down there. This is something that
will be considered after the construction is complete.
Supervisor Kennedy provided copies of a summary of the 1994 Fiscal
Plan for the ToWn of Boston to all in attendance. In his efforts
to control escalating costs in the Town Government he submitted a
1994 Budget which freezes all elective and appointed salaries with
exception of the Dog Control officer. The salary of the Town
Supervisor was reduced from $20,500 to $10,400. The remaining
$10,100 has been included in the Supervisor's personnel services
section of the budget to be appropriated in any manner the nev; Town
Board so designates.
This is the third straight year that both the General Fund taxes
and the Highway taxes have remained the same even though we have
experienced substantial increase in raany areas of the Town Budget.
All the Special District taxes will remain the same as last year
with the exception of the ambulance district. OSHA requirements
and the need for a new ambulance are the priraary reasons for an
increase of $.05 from a year ago.
The 1994 Prelirainary Budget and Summary of the 1994 Budget were
read by Supervisor Kennedy. There were no questions or comments.
A motion was made by Councilraan Zimmerman and seconded by
Councilman Wittmeyer that the 1994 General Fund Prelirainary Budget
be approved as follows:
Appropriations $936,236.00
Less Estiraated Revenue 514,300.00
Less Unexpended Balarice 249,000.00
Amount to be Raised by Taxes 172,939.00
