Update: The Board of Finance agenda for Wednesday July 18th has been updated to include the following item:

  • Discuss and take action on a Special Appropriation from Facilities for $39,875.00 for construction services at the Senior Center.

"There is a need for building changes at the Senior Center," said Board of Finance Chairman Jennifer Tung. "We would love some public input on this matter."

Original story:

Scranton Memorial Library is on the agenda at the next Board of Finance meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, July 18th, at 7 p.m. in Room A at Town Campus.

"Discussion with Scranton Memorial Library regarding the changes implemented with the Town Funding increase, a facility issues update, plans for fundraising and the Town relationship agreement," the agenda says.

Scranton Memorial Library received a 2.85 percent increase in its funding for 2012-2013. The increase was the subject of intense debate during the Board of Finance budget hearings, and following the final passage of the budget at town meeting.

Also on the agenda at the upcoming meeting is a special appropriation request for $49,502 for the payout of sick and vacation time for police and town retirees. [Editor's note: This is for police and town employees, not for library employees.]

The Board of Finance also will discuss and take action on a donation of $2,000 from the Madison Foundation Neighbor 2 Neighbor program for camp scholarships, and a donation from the Madison Foundation Neighbor 2 Neighbor program for the local relief fund.

The full agenda is posted with this article as a PDF.

As a matter of fact I did watch the CSpan joke of a hearing. There was no available resources toRead More travel to a small consolite in Bahghazi that wouldn't have potentially harmed countless others. A flyover was not possible becasue it was too far away. Instead of drooling over FOX news witch hunts, why not listen to real facts. Your blind hatred for the President is repulsive to readers. Isn't there a Newsmax or Reagancoalition or Oathkeepers website you can post too? There they will believe all of your made uo facts. I understand that having a black man as President is scary to you, but I'm thinking you might have to get used to being in the minority. President Obama is not dishonest, unprincipled or incompetent.

Charles, you're the one with no FACTS on your side. Obviously you did not watch the BenghaziRead More hearings recently on CSpan. I did, and the whistle blowers made it abundantly clear that there was never any question that it was an "ATTACK" by terrorists, and had NOTHING to do with a "demonstration" over a lame video, as lied about by S. Rice, Obama and HRC! They concocted this story because the truth, that Al Qaeda is NOT "defeated" or neutralized, as O claimed, would have been inconvenient for the election. It is utterly reprehensible for a president to heartlessly leave our men behind, to send NO aid or support, if only to get the bodies out--and a flyover of jets could have scared the terrorists away, as they had no idea (in advance) of how many hours or days the attack would last! Reprehensible also to lie to cover up his incompetence and detachment! You are clueless, as my assessment and Mr. Morici's have everything to do with objective job performance. Your accusations attributing personal motives are "baseless and offensive." Truth has no agenda, but you are not interested in Truth. The question is: why do you accept mediocrity--no, actually worse--from a president, and for our nation?

Charles (with no last name). Maybe your house has environmental contaminates. I won't know until youRead More have the nerve to post YOUR last name.

Owners really need to pick up their dog's waste. It is a major polluter of the Long Island Sound.Read More Whenever your dog drops one and you leave it, think of that fish, lobster, or shellfish you ate from the Sound! Enjoy eating your dog poop bacteria!

I'm so lucky!! For 10 years my dogs have frolicked safely in the back part of Bauer - away from theRead More roads, traffic and homes - closer to the back of the HS. I have never heard any dogs bark or 'yap', never saw a dog run into the gardens and destroy the plots, never saw a dog fight or kids being assaulted and luckily avoided all the poop they are leaving behind although I do dodge the deer pellets. My timing must be stellar to avoid all the bad dogs, their dismal behavior and threats to others. Whew!!

The whole state is tick infested. Luckily, dogs can use a product called Frontline Top Spot or itsRead More cheaper generic equivalent, which completely protects them from ticks and fleas. On the shoreline to Middletown, you should be using it on your dog year round. I once saw a deer tick crawling on SNOW in Madison near the Country School in February. The Lyme vacine is ineffective in most canines and most canines that get Lyme, shake it off in time - unlike humans. Top Spot keeps the ticks off or dead for the humans that pet the dog. Regardless, dogs running on cut grass some distance from woods or taller grass won't encounter many if any ticks. Especially if the outer perimeter of the fence is treated in spring and fall.
