TOWN OF OTSEGO Lindenfelser, Chairman; Floyd Roden, and Norman
Freske, Supervisors; Lewsi Pouliot, Treasurer;
and Jerome Perrault, Clerk, were present.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Douglas Lindenfelser,
The minutes of the February 25, 1985, Town Board Meeting were approved
as read.
The Town Board discussed the proposed tax levy to be presented at
the Annual Town Meeting for the approval of the voters. Last years
levy was $200,000 Road and Bridge, $20,000 for Revenue and $10,000 for
the Fire Fund. Because of the uncertainty of whether Revenue Sharing
will be defunded or discontinued and what the State Legislaturewill
do, the Board decided to request that the Annual Town Meeting be re-
cessed and re -convened some time before October 1, 1985, to set the
levies.
The Town Board dicussed the water problems in Otsego Acres. More
study will be needed of elevations to determine which way the water
should be draining and if a ditch is feasible. The Board felt that
the responsibility of the Township should be limited to roadside ditches
and culverts put in and kept open where needed, but the drainage of
private property should be the liability of the property owner. If
a ditch is required, the cost should be assessed to all benefiting
property owners.
Proceeding as a Board of Audit, the Town Board audited and allowed
vertified accounts numbers 1 to 23 inclusive.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
