James Lawrence, 67 Imperial Drive, New Hartford, has "…made an offer to take over, remake and make user-friendly to the Town and the residents" the Town’s Web Site. He has completed some initially planning – and Councilman Backman has reviewed the results. There is a need to address the IP address, whether the Town is committed to a prior vendor and/or whether the Town has control over the address in order to save e-mail addresses. Currently, the Town is paying Two Hundred Twenty-five Dollars ($225) each month to Dreamscape – perhaps for hosting the Web Site. After some research, Mr. Lawrence determined that not all Towns use the standard ".ny.us" as part of their Web

address. Before the Town moves the Web Site to a new address, the Town Supervisor will write to Dreamscape that the Town is interested in refreshing, scrubbing and changing it and await Dreamscape’s response. The Committee is also reviewing the Town’s Web Site, how it’s maintained, where it’s hosted.

Councilman Backman confirmed that the Five Hundred Dollar ($500) payment to James and Cathy Lawrence to update the Town’s Web Site would be an annual commitment. [NOTE: Refer to page 12 of the July 2, 2003 Town Board minutes.]

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Board of the Town of New Hartford as follows:

1. Based on its examination of the EAF, the criteria set forth in Sections 617.11 and 617.6 of the regulations, and such further investigation as the Town Board has deemed appropriate, no potential significant adverse impacts are known;
2. Consent to proceed with the project will not cause a significant impact on the environment, and the Town Board will not require the preparation of an environmental impact statement;

Software Update – Dispatch Center

Councilman Backman provided an update on the search for software for the Emergency Dispatch Center. Action is expected in the near future.

Health Insurance – Part-time employees

Supervisor Humphreys explained that when the Town elected to provide Teamsters health insurance effective January 1, 2003, employees not wanting the insurance could opt out at the time of conversion; but employees hired after the conversion date, all in the bargaining unit must be included in health coverage. As a part-time Dispatcher, Jarod Petrie would be required to pay the insurance premium if he wants health coverage, but also must meet the 36-day contributions in a quarter to earn the coverage. The Teamsters stated that part-time employees pay for at least the minimum policy, Six Dollars ($6) per day; however, questions arose as to how many hours constitute a day.

The Town Supervisor Ralph proposed that if a part-time employee wants and needs insurance, the Town would work with them and the employee would pay the daily charge; but if they don’t want and don’t need health insurance, the Town would pay the daily charge of Six Dollars ($6). Councilman Backman questioned, "…but if someone then becomes eligible, when’s the line being crossed that they get a benefit?" Since Mr. Petrie doesn’t fall into this latter situation, the Board’s consensus was to formulate a policy; ex.: If a part-time employee becomes eligible and uses the health insurance benefits within a calendar year, they must pay for it.

Personnel – Telecommunicator Supervisor’s workday

The following Resolution was introduced for adoption by Councilman Backman and seconded by Councilman Woodland:

(RESOLUTION NO. 268 OF 2003)
