Village of Fleischmanns
Board Meeting
January 12, 2015
The Village of Fleischmanns Board of Trustees held their regular Village Board meeting
on Monday, January 12, 2015 at the Skene Memorial Library at 6:00 p.m. Present were:
Mayor Todd Pascarella, Deputy Mayor Benjamin Fenton, David Yates and Larry Reilly.
Village Trustee Harriet L. Grossman was absent.
Mark Project/Peggy Ellsworth
Peggy Ellsworth advised that the movie theatre roof had been patched & at present is not
leaking.
Plans for the spring include a full brick faade restoration which entails taking it down
brick by brick, putting the correct sheathing behind it & putting the same brick back in
place. This is a very specialized field and in order to do it correctly, the marquee needs to
come down. There could be some issues; the condition of the marquee is sketchy. Many
parts of it are rotted. Our biggest fear is that if it comes down, it might crumble in hand.
We are going to digitally laser scan the entire marquee, not only for dimensions but for
details. It will then be stored in the Village garage while the faade is being restored.
Depending on the condition, it might be used as a fund raising tool to do the restoration
of the marquee itself while its on the ground. Should it crumble, we would have the
documentation necessary to recreate it & get it back up. Then we will be looking to do
the flat side of the roof which is on the front of the building, look at energy efficient
windows the same size as SHIPPO approved & energy efficient doors for the two store
fronts. The theatre doors need to be retained for historic preservation reasons & we will
be looking to create like doors to compliment them with SHIPPO approval for the store
fronts. This will eat up the entire budget.
The Smart Growth application is due in 2 week time period. This is for the Rte. 28
corridor from Olive through Andes open to villages, townships and not-for-profits. The
thought was to apply for a Gateway Beautification Program where the Village could
actually hire a landscape architect, stand up on Rte. 28 & look down at that entrance to
the Village and come up with the renderings and the working drawings as to weather a
sign needs to be tilted; so when you come off the mountain from the ski slope or from
Kingston, Fleischmanns is presented as a welcoming environment to come into.
Peggy Ellsworth thought we could submit a competitive application.
The Mark Project will be opening its small business development fund. Guidelines and
applications should be available Thursday afternoon. There is a list of over 60 potential
applicants that will be getting notification via email. It will be posted on the Mark
Projects website & on Facebook simultaneously. These are loan-grant combos open to
existing businesses, new businesses, & not-for-profits. Its for capital expenditures only.
Equipment and furnishings are eligible expenses, but marketing, etc. is not. This is the 1st
tier. We have half the money in place in the bank. Once we spend that money, we can
draw down the other half. Grant loan combos will be for 75% of the project cost. How
its divided between grant & loan will be left to the review panel. Mark is there to help
through the application. Peggy Ellsworth is not on the review panel. Once the review
panel makes their recommendation, it goes to the Mark Project Board of Directors for
final approval. Time frame would be: applications become available at the end of the
week, there will be a post-mark date of March 5, 2015, reviewed in the following three
weeks with announcements in early April. Funding will be available as soon as we can
get funding in place.
Peggy Ellsworth advised that at the end of March they will be holding a two day
conference. Its a Main St. boot camp which will be held at the Hanah Inn. We will be
partnering with the state and several other agencies.

Motion made by Benjamin Fenton to approve the following purchase orders for January,
2015: Water Department: USA Blue Book, 8 foot curb key, total cost of request: $48.18

$2.66/gal., total cost of request: $292.00, reason for purchase: chemicals used in the
treatment process. Motion seconded by Larry Reilly. Benjamin Fenton-Aye. Larry
Reilly-Aye. Todd Pascarella-Aye. David Yates-Aye. Harriet L. Grossman-Absent.
Motion so carried.
Water Department
Jim Buchan presented a draft request for changes in water service to the Village Board
which will require residents to provide signed requests for services along with a written
signed statement as to their correct mailing address, etc.
Mayor Todd Pascarella said there were two vehicles parked in the upper corner of
WWTP property which he verbally requested be removed & they are still parked there.
The Village Attorney, Carey Wagner, will send a letter to the Merwins requesting that the
cars be removed from the municipal property.
Delaware Engineering/John Brust
John Brust presented 6 copies of a draft water use law. John advised there was a change
to section 6 regarding water meters. When everyone is comfortable with a proposed
amended water use law, then the Village can proceed to hold a public hearing.
The Tweedie Construction invoice $53,450.04 (Payment Request # 1-Period ending
11/30/14) for the work done under Main Street Stormwater Improvements will come out
of CHIPS funding.
The Park Snack Shack will be re-bid in February. Jeff Francisco found flood doors at
approximately $3,000.00 versus the $30,000.00 which hopefully will bring the price
down.
Delaware County Bridge 80 Replacement
Bridge Street over Bushkill
In 2012 the NYS Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) reviewed the Bridge 80 data
supplied by FEMA and concurred that the proposed replacement poses no adverse effect
to historic properties as long as a Phase 1 Archaeological Assessment is completed. The
SHPO did not indicate any adverse effect to any standing historic structures and for this
reason the current study does not include an architectural APE.
The Village Board acknowledged that they have no knowledge of any archaeological
significance in the affected area. Mayor Pascarella will fill out the survey form, sign it &
forward same to Dan Sanford of DPW.
