The Watershed Management Advisory Council meeting was called to order at 4:00 p.m. at the Water Utilities Department by Mr. Wykle, Water Utilities Superintendent, / WMAC Chairman.

Council Members present:

Bob Wykle, Water Utilities Superintendent, Jerry Santangelo, Highway Superintendent, Jim Switzer, Town Board liaison, Richard T. Williams II, Deputy Attorney, Resident members, Dave Miller, Brett Pevear, Joe Stramonine and Marilee Stollery, Clerk -typist/D.E.O. , Tammy Goetz, Clerk Absent : Ed Collins, Building Inspector/C.E.O.

Public Appointments and Forum:

Mr. Aaron Salce from 7659 Tamarack Lane met with the council to review the information that was received since his last meeting with council on March 18, 2008. Mr. Miller and Mr. Santangelo visited the location and supplied Mr. Salce with the history of his property. The swale was filled in by the builder, so the problem is not really that of Watershed. The removal of trees on Albright’s property might have contributed to the problem, but if the swale were still in place, the water would have been drawn away. Mr. Salce was advised to recreate the swale.
