A TOUCH OF CLASS—Clockwise from left: Tim Norray, Stephanie Bryan, BUI Bichteman, Ruth Anne Slatcher, John Favreau, and Wesdy Smith. By JAMES CRAWFORD The Guilderland Town Board set the entrance fee for non-residents at Carl J. Walters-tawasentha Park at $10 per car Tuesday night. The changes were believed necessary by the board because of the large number of non-town residents who use the park's facilities such as the pool — but do not pay taxes in Guilderland to support their operation. The Town Board may also consider issuing some form of identification to town residents for the pool as a possibility to limit non-town usage next year. In further business, approval for the leasing of the land directly west of the McKownville filtration plant was granted to the Guilderland Chamber of Commerce, subject to Department of Environmental Conservation approval. The property would be used to maintain the chamber's visitor's booth. Rent for the property was set at $50 a month. Authorization for the town to go to bid on the construction of Phase I of the Nott Road Treatment Plant was granted by the board. The waste treatment plant will produce by-products which can be used as landfill cover or for agricultural purposes. The construction of this phase will cost about $170,000. Also approved by the board was the renewal of an agreement with the Town of New Scotland to sell Guilderland water to them at a rate of $1.30 per 1,000 gallons. A public hearing about a proposed ban on off-road motor- cycle and motor-driven cycles on private and public lands within the town between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 9 during the regularly scheduled Town Board meeting. If enacted, motorcycles would be limited to public roads and driveways during the hours mentioned. Other public hearings to be held on Aug. 9 will cover an amendment to existing handicapped parking laws to include Crossgates Mall and Westmere Water District Extension 8 hi the State Farm Road area. A hearing to discuss Robert Spanzo's request to rezone a Johnston Road property from R-20 to agricultural will be held on the 9th. The board approved the con- struction of sidewalks in conjuction with the Department of Transpor- tation on Route 155; the project will cost the town $3,960. Yield signs will be placed at the junctions of both Gari Lane and Terry Ave. with Lydius St. In further highway business, O. W. Hubbard has been contracted to place guard rails on Old State Road at a cost of no more than $5,000. Further, the board agreed to pay the additional cost of replacing the 16-inch water mains with 20-inch ones at the bridge over the Conrail tracks on Route 146. The state agreed to pay for the cost of replacing the 16-inch ones, but the additional $8,023 for the larger mains will be payed for by the town. Also approved was the transfer of $6,500 from the contingency for the construction of athletic fields at Nott Road. Robert L. Waite was appointed to the position of full-time dispatcher on a provision- al basis pending his taking a civil service exam. Bids were awarded to Agway Petroleum for diesel and No. 2 heating oil and to the highest bidders on confiscated vehicles.
