Final flood dollars should be in soon, will go toward repairs
NORWICH – The last of the state and federal flood money slated for the Town of Norwich should arrive by the end of next week, Supervisor Dave Law said Monday night during a town board meeting.
The town has received just over $500,000 in aid from the Federal Emergency Management Office and its state counterpart in the year since the flood of June 2006. Law said $328,494.23 more should arrive a week from Thursday.
The board decided part of the money will go toward catching-up on flood-delayed road improvements and making repairs to rafters in the town pole barn. Highway Superintendent Stan Foulds said he’s planned roughly $85,600 worth of oil and stone and leveling work for the Burdick-Medbury, Lower Ravine, Meadow View Heights, Grotsinger, Wells, Jones and Old Stage roads.
“There’s a lot there,” Foulds said.
The pole barn damage, created when rafters were cut-back to install an overhead door, is estimated at $28,000 to repair, Councilman Charles W. Brooks said.
“It’s got to be done sometime,” Brooks said.
Councilwoman Joanna Chiarino agreed.
“The longer we put it off,” she said, “ the more it will cost.”
Also on last night’s agenda:
• Supervisor Law gave a report compiled by Charles Green in which Green issued 30-day notices to residents on Dan Main Hill, Lawton-Sheer Road, and Tanner Hill to clean-up junk cars, oil leaks or septic problems. If they fail to be in compliance, Law said the homeowners will be ticketed and fined.
“We can’t do anything about how you live inside unless children are involved,” Law said, referring to the town’s authority.
• Law added that “much improvement has been made” regarding the clean-up efforts at the Halfway House on state Route 12. He also said the county has allocated $3 million to upgrade the Halfway House bridge and county Route 32B this summer. “That’s great news for the town,” he said.
• Damage caused by a lightning strike to a water pump-house two months ago will be fully covered by the town’s insurance policy. Law said Mang Insurance will pay for the $12,000 in damage, but said all five pump houses owned by the town will go under a separate insurance policy, costing roughly $1,700 a year. The pump-house that was damaged is worth $500,000.
• Proctor & Gamble Pharmaceuticals applied for a permit to build a $35,000 addition to its Woods Corners facilities.
• The board approved funding for town children who want to participate in the Unadilla Valley Central School summer swim program. Contact the school, or call the town at 337-2301 for more information.
