Discussion followed on the Village of Macedon – Town of Macedon Intermunicipal Agreement for Sewage and Transmission Line dated January 16, 1989.  Terms of this agreement state “That recognizing the anticipated investment by the Town in the Sewage Treatment Plant and to legally enable the Town to finance said expansion the Village agrees to execute to the Town documentation so as to recognize a vested interest in the plant” and “That said vested interest to the Town shall be proportional to the number of chargeable sewer rental units in each municipality which as of 1988 is 80% Village/20% Town.  Except that as the Town may contribute more chargeable units to the Village, its vested interest will increase until such time as it reaches the 50% level at which time it will be capped so that the Village and the Town each have a 50% vested interest in the transmission and treatment facilities.”  The bonding of $1.5 million dollars will be paid off in the near future.  Town Attorney Anthony Villani has corresponded twice with the Village with no reply.  Supervisor Hammond had verbal conversations with the Mayor and Village Board with no reply.  A request was made for  new contract before the first of the year and to documentation of the Town’s vested interest in the sewer plant.
