RUMOR*AROUND*TOWN
7-30-09 THURSDAY

It’s Official! According to this week’s issue of the WATERVILLE TIMES, the Brookfield Town Board will be holding a SPECIAL MEETING to “discuss the possible transfer of property located on West Lake Road to the BEAVER VALLEY ROD & GUN CLUB. The public meeting is to be held at 7PM THURSDAY –AUGUST 6 in the TOWN HALL-Brookfield. The Town is wants to transfer 55 acres of public land to the private club.

Several good articles in the TIMES regarding TOWN BOARD matters:
…it was reported that the Town is having some issues with their accounting firm regarding mistakes and reporting delays….Planning Board wants to increase road frontage for new homes to 150 feet…$2,100 authorized to rent a Gradall for one week having already put $25,000 into repairs on the old one… confusion over lack of notice to residents of Chesebro Rd. over the new subdivision…a traffic “study” was approved regarding speed limit on Church St. (wonder how much that one cost???).

The TIMES also reported that BROOKFIELD SCHOOL now wants to hire a full time principal. Currently, the Superintendent, Sherri Morris, splits her duties between Superintendent & Principal. The Board was concerned that no one is in charge in the building when Morris and the full-time business manager, Jim Plows, are out at the same time.

And last but not least…The BROOKFIELD REPUBLICANS have put up the following candidates for office: John Salka (Supervisor); Dewitt Head & Chuck Blood (Councilmen); Dan O’Brien (Highway Superintendent); Margaret O’Brien (Town Clerk); and Bonnie Button (Town Justice).
