He already has a holding tank of 350-gallons and would be getting another 300-gallon tank with the purchase of the furnace. He felt that the Town of Lisbon could benefit from the amount of waste oil that was accumulated by producing heat with the use of a waste oil furnace at the Town Barn. He also felt that we could accept other waste oil from the outside communities. The board asked him to get the quotes and bring them back for the next board meeting. • Highway Superintendent Dow asked what the town owns and what the resident is responsible for, concerning the sewer lines. Attorney Nash commented that he needed to see the Sewer Law before he could answer him. Town Clerk McBath will be looking up the law and getting it to Attorney Nash. • Highway superintendent Dow stated that the roads in the Town of Lisbon have received a lot of vandalism. For example: road signs have been knocked down, but not taken; posts have been stolen from bridges; and corners have been cut short. Legislator Steve Teele asked if any vandalism had occurred on the corners where Lisbon roads have connected to County roads. Superintendent Dow informed him that there hadn't been. • Superintendent Dow has received numerous comments on the Christmas lights that have been put up through the village. He also stated that a couple of people have asked him to order more and have the lights put up in memory of a loved one. Therefore he has ordered two more snowflakes. When they arrive the people that have ordered them will pay for them. • Legislator's Report Legislator Stephen Teele gave a verbal report. • Legislator Teele gave a report on the new jail. He also handed out a single pamphlet on what the jail will look like. • County Budget has been finalized. • Councilman Collins asked Legislator Teele if he would talk with him and Councilman Schneller concerning the reimbursement for the assessor training. Legislator Teele agreed with this. • Old Business A. Playground Building Highway Superintendent Dow informed the board that a survey needed to be done, as he couldn't locate the boundaries on either side of the playground. He is also requesting a pumping tank, as he didn't know exactly how to get connected to the sewer line. Also, the building exterior design has been changed a little. There will be doors leading to the restroom from the outside so they can be used when the main building is closed. • New York State Association of Towns Conference Supervisor Watters informed the board that he would be attending the Conference in February with the provision that if someone else decided to go, they would take his place. 12.
