Ted stated that Raoul found a statute that would allow the Town to clean it up and charge it back to the owner.
Shooting Range: The was a request to put the shooting range on the agenda. The range is located out on the North Road. Someone asked who requested it be shut down. Several people stated they did. Lee stated that public discussion should be held. Tom stated it is on Forestry land. Lenny Roy stated that a group of people have been dealing with the Forest Service for approximately one year, trying to get them to set some hours that we can all live with, now we are sick of it, would like to see it moved. Another comment that they are shooting as early as 6:00 a.m. and as late as 8:30 p.m. every day of the week and it is not just sighting in a rifle it is automatic weapons and semi automatic weapons by Kelly Roy, Lenny stated it was also Army type guns. Lee asked if Lenny had a copy of the petition that was given to the Forest Service last year, no I do not have a copy. Tom stated that the Town can not shut it down but as a Town Board they could ask for some fairly restrictive hours. Discussion on who can control the hours. Tom stated that they have talked to the Forestry about moving it. Users of the range disrespect it by shooting up the sign, leaving garbage and destroying things down there. It now looks like an old dump down there. Asking that the range be moved out of the residential area. The County nuisance ordinance may apply to the noise. Is there a law concerning automatic weapons- it is unknown. Don Jackson asked if there was a conditional use permit for the range. Tom stated probably not as it is on Forestry land. Don stated the Forest Service should be approached; they should be able to find a spot for them to move it to. Tom stated to ask them to come to the next meeting. At the Forest Service it was Harve Sherman that they had talked to. Game wardens stated that they did not have jurisdiction in the range even when people were shooting in the dark the day before opening gun season. Don Jackson stated that when they asked for the range it was stated by Larry Strickler, former Ranger that if there became problems the range would be shut down. Don stated it would be looked into there must be a compromise with this much Forestry land in the area.
Solid Waste recycling attendant: More interest in the position then was anticipated. The Board will have a special meeting on April 25, 2006 at 6:00 p.m.
