Jefferson Has Light Agenda

JEFFERSON – Vandalism at the water plant, repairs to the justice court flooring and a public hearing on amending the town's Solar Energy Facility Law topped a light agenda for the Jefferson Town Board last Thursday.

The problem of vandalism, four-wheelers tearing up the area near the town water plant drew frustration from town board members. Although there is an idea of who it may be, law enforcement officials need proof in order to prosecute the culprits.

Lamont Engineering is currently figuring out the best way to repair the flooring underneath the town justice quarters in the basement of the town hall. Recently a piece of tile came loose and inspection indicates that some of the cement in the radiant heat floor has cracked. They are reviewing the extent and the best way to repair and will get back to the town  regarding the repairs.

Theresa Buck was re-appointed to the town's Assessment Review Board after signing her paperwork.

A public hearing will be held Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. regarding  amending the town's existing Solar Energy Facility Law.

In other business, Chris Twyble reported on an incident between neighbors over a dog, which required investigation and involved state police. He said a summons was served. The town has completed work on Moxham, Mount Jefferson, Potter Hill, Woodland Drive and Pine Grove. There was some storm damage from a downpour on Wednesday, with crews out to remove downed trees. Highway Superintendent Ray Hendrickson said they plan to oil and stone three more roads, including Foote Road, Campo Road, Maybee, Zona and Nichols roads. Power washing of the town hall is nearly complete..
