Does Spencer want to opt in or out of participating in New Yorkâs new marijuana law?Â
New York has legalized various ways that will ultimately bring in sales tax revenue for municipalities, although no one has any idea how much might be brought to Spencerâs coffers. The board engaged in a philosophical discussion on what would be best for the town.
Town Councilman Ray Bunce is a police officer, and his view is now that it is legal, Spencer should get the advantage.Â
Town Councilman Aaron Decker expressed a more cautious viewpoint: wait and see how it works out before opting in.Â
The Spencer Town Board at its April 13 meeting continued making progress in getting the townâs bridges repaired.Â
In March the town board sent out proposals to 15 companies requesting qualifications to become the townâs consultant on the Bridge NY grant project. Spencer Town Supervisor, Al Fulkerson, told the board that he received three proposals, one each from firms in Buffalo, Albany and Rochester.
After discussion the board awarded the consultant contract to Hunt Engineers. The next step is to negotiate with Hunt on fees for the work to be done. Fulkerson noted that Hunt also provided extensive proposals for the same structures two years ago when the board was looking into the repairs then.Â
