Sardinia youth board given access to town facility by town board
Sunday August 26, 2012 | By:Jeff Martin | News
SARDINIA — The Sardinia Youth Board will once again offer a place for children to go on Friday evenings, during the school season.
On Aug. 9, the town board voted unanimously to allow the youth board to use the town facility for its Friday night recreation program. The program is for children ages 6 – 15 and will begin some time during October and run through the spring.
“I just want to have a place [for kids] to be able to go in the winter,” Chris Warner said, before the town board. “I just wanted a place where the kids could run around and be with friends.”
It has been some time since the program was offered to children, according to Town Clerk Betsy Marsh.
The event is run by volunteers and uses the recreation director as a contact person to oversee the program, which will run the length of the 2012–13 school year.
In other board news:
– The town board approved a request from Justice Ronald Thompson to attend the annual New York State Magistrate Association Education Conference in Syracuse from Sept. 9 – 12 at a cost not to exceed $850.
– The board is considering offering a defensive driving course in the coming months. By taking such a course, a student can save up to 10 percent on his or her car insurance payment. A free rabies clinic, for residents only, may also be offered in the fall.
– The board reported that the chip and seal program is nearly complete. Work is continuing on a location along Hosmer Drive, which was washed out recently. The town received a $6,000 matching grant and will put labor and materials toward its matching portion, according to Marsh.
– Work continues at the Route 39 cemetery. A Boy Scout working on his Eagle Scout award is completing various improvements there, including fence work and straightening grave stones.
The next Sardinia Town Board meeting will be held Sept. 13 at 6:30 p.m.
