Recognition of Guest • Jimmy Lawton-Represented the Ogdensburg Journal Newspaper • Pat Green- Regarding Resolution #4 of 2009, He stated that he had found that the Town of Lisbon is not a member of the St. Lawrence River Valley Agency. He wanted to know why? Mr. Green stated that he would like to have the resolution reworded to say that some of the extra power that Lisbon would receive could be sold by the Town of Lisbon to communities off the river, thereby putting the money back into the local economy. Supervisor Strader stated Mr. Green's suggestion could not be put into the resolution, as we need to work, as a group not as a signatory town. • Mr. Patrick Green also stated that he had been informed that tiled ground was considered a capital improvement. He questioned why couldn't it be assessed as such. Assessor Mr. Bruce Green informed him that according to state regulations, the state required the town to place a ceiling on certain types of certain soils. They are unable to assess more than that cap. • Bruce Green- Mr. Green stated that relating to reval, things were pretty much on schedule. The Town Board members should expect phone calls from concerned people. Those individuals should be forwarded to him. The Town Board needs to be united as we go through this time period.
