LEROY — The LeRoy Township Supervisors met Monday, April 4, at 7 p.m. in the community building on Mill Street.
Supervisors heard from resident Dave DeCristo on a subdivision matter with his property off of Route 414 (the store, garage).
American Rescue Plan funds will be helping toward the township’s cost for the fire contract this year, with supervisors noting they plan to pay the plan in full for the year, costing about $25,000.
Dumpster Day is April 9, from 8 a.m. to noon at the community building on Mill Street.
Supervisors plan to conduct a road report before that at 7 a.m. where they will tour and assess the township roads for planning purposes.
Supervisors reported the disposition of kitchen equipment, with Ed Pepper auctioning the items off. If supervisors sell more than $5,000 with the auction, Pepper will receive 30%. If under $5,000, Pepper will receive 35% of the total cost, to help pay for removing the items. Supervisors agreed on the contract.
For meeting room furniture, Supervisor Ted Tomlinson will review options on where items can be placed for bid for the supervisors to purchase. Options given at the meeting were MainLink, COSTARS and Municibid. Tomlinson will update the supervisors at the next meeting.
Tomlinson noted that all three auditors announced at the last meeting were appointed by Judge Berine on March 10.
The question of ATVs permitted on township roads was brought up at the meeting, with the supervisors ultimately deciding against allowing it, due to insurance reasons.
There was no fire report this month, as Supervisor Mike Miosi noted that the fire department will meet next week.
For the Council of Governments meeting, Supervisor Jason Krise noted that Bradford County Commissioner Daryl Miller was the guest at this month’s meeting. He also noted that the COG plans another electronic recycling event at Point Springs Driveshaft in Troy, as the fall event was well received.
For the road report, Roadmaster Butch noted that 2/3 of the township roads need to be addressed and asked supervisors about bidding out gravel and cinders to do so. The road survey that is planned for April 9 will help supervisors assess the roads and prioritize what roads need completed first. Butch also noted that he and his crew will be cleaning ditches throughout the township, which should take about a week to complete.
The next LeRoy Township Supervisors meeting will be Monday, May 2, at 7 p.m. at the community building on Mill Street.
