A. AMP - Appointed Liaison for AMP Steve Jemison informed the board on what was occurring with AMP. He also handed out literature for the board members to look at for the meeting on May 10, 2006. Supervisor Watters asked for the board to consider a candidate to be the deputy appointed Liaison for AMP.

B. NYPA - Councilman Collins informed the board that the Task Force moved to accept our Resolution # 4 and agreed to allow Lisbon, as they are no longer in the project boundaries, to proceed with the transfers.

• Beach - Supervisor Watters informed the board that we must address replacing the ticket booth. The board informs Supervisor Watters to have the building built, if the cost was under $500.00.

The New York Power Authority was at the beach to assess the drainage problems with the new campsites and how to repair the problem. Supervisor Watters informed them that they should complete it as soon as possible, as the camping season will be opening up on May 15, 2006.

Town Clerk McBath informed the board that we were in the need for parking permits for the beach. Supervisor Watters stated that he investigate the possibility of the correction facility making the permits.

It was asked if anything could be done with the road leading to the beach. Highway Superintendent Dow recommended just topping it. Councilman Schneller recommended that the road should be done and done properly. (Torn out, fabric laid, replace base then re-topped.) Superintendent Dow informed the board that he would not be able to do the job at this time as he is expected to start paving this week. He also commented that the cost to complete the job would be approximately $10,000. Superintendent Dow will bring in the figures for the job.

Superintendent Dow also informed the board that the new truck would be delivered in July or August.

• Sidewalks - Supervisor Watters asked the board what would they like him to do with Tisdel Associates concerning the sidewalks. Do we want to go with having the survey completed for the sidewalks? Councilman Shoen stated he had second thoughts about having the sidewalks put in. Mark Ginn commented that he would like a walk bridge put in on the back street, or have the road repaired at the beach, instead of having sidewalks built. The remaining board members all gave negative comments on having the sidewalks put in.

Councilman Shoen made a motion, and was seconded by Councilman Schneller, to have the proposal put on hold of installing sidewalks on Main Street of Lisbon until next year.

Ayes - 5 Nays - 0

• Adjacent Land next to the Medical Center - The survey has been completed. Supervisor Watters inquired whether the board wanted to sell the land or keep it. If the land were to be sold, it would be sold by public auction or sealed bid. We would need to receive advise from Attorney Nash on how the land is to be sold.
