Old Business
Old Agway Building – Bill Schaefer Inc. would like to give the old Agway building to the Town of Lisbon. They were informed that a Phase 1 environmental study (as required by DEC) has been completed. The only possible area of concern indicated in the report as an environmental issue was a small amount of PCBs possible in an electrical switch in the facility. Discussion was done on whether we should accept the offer, as it is an eye sore, and for safety issues. Supervisor LeBarge suggested that the paper work be turned over to Attorney Nash and get his opinion. The board decided to wait until next meeting to make a decision.
Lisbon Home Coming – The Lisbon Home Coming Committee has asked for the board to participate in the parade.
Roads – The chips application needs to be in by July 12.
