Stamford Reviews Road Repairs

HOBART – Summer road repairs are underway and the town of Stamford highway crew was set to do McGregor and Davis Roads this week. They have been helping the town of Roxbury with its chip-sealing projects. 

The town of Kortright has offered to loan its mower to the town of Stamford. Stamford's mower is currently being repaired, but borrowing one would allow them to get a jump on it sooner if they can free someone up to do the mowing. Stamford Town Board members indicated they were not against borrowing a mower.

The town highway crew has also been working with the village of Hobart and other townships on their summer road repair projects.

The town will also advertise for a new crew member, when a member leaves.

Board members approved the contract with the Heart of Catskills Humane Society, for dogs only. There were no changes in the contract.

They also received correspondence that Paul Chernenko received his state certification as an assessor, recently taking courses. "We would like to thank him for taking the time to take the courses and pass them," said Supervisor John Kosier.

The Robinson-Broadhurst grant will be used for security cameras, lighting, and a storage tank. The town received $30,000 and Kosier said they would take care of the security issues first.

They then moved into an executive session to discuss personnel.
