CLERMONT TOWN BOARD
YEAR END MEETING
DECEMBER 29, 2010
The Clermont Town Board held the year end meeting on Wednesday, December 29, 2010 at 6:00 P.M. at the Town Hall. Those present were Supervisor Raymond Staats, Councilman Robert Desmond and Councilwoman Nancy Moore. Councilman Richard Jones and Councilwoman Dianne O’Neal were absent. Also present was Gregory Fingar, Fingar Insurance Company.
The Supervisor opened the meeting with a salute to the flag. He introduced Gregory Fingar who is our insurance agent with Fingar Insurance Company. Mr. Fingar went over the policy which will renew effective 12/31/10 at 12:01 A.M. Our buildings were appraised this year by NYMIR. There was a recommendation to get the value of the 2000 International truck because it’s insured value could be reduced from the current, due to its age. He will check into whether or not we should bond our accountant because he does have the authority to make transfers, only within our accounts, not to outside accounts.
The premium did increase due to the 4% inflation factor and the new truck purchased this year by $144.00.
Next year the Supervisor will obtain another quote for insurance, but because of the NYMIR Capitalization reimbursement, Fingar Insurance has been lower each year.
In other business, a motion was made by Councilman Desmond to increase the amount approved for the purchase of the Historian’s laptop from $919.00 to $1000.00 to include a printer scanner. Motion seconded by Councilwoman Moore. All in favor. So carried.
The Historian, Mary Louise Kalin, has donated the remaining cost over the approved amount of $1,000.00.
Councilman Desmond would like to pay John Fieser’s voucher for building inspections, but will clarify with him how he arrived at the figures.
