Katrina Covin-Stilts the marketing representative for Leatherstocking spoke with the New Milford Borough Council during their meeting on May 7th.  Ms. Covin-Stilts informed the Council the mapping of the Borough by DDS is nearly completed, and they should be receiving it shortly.  Terri Gulick said what was scary is that she has been hearing a lot of complaints about the delivery charges, that they were very steep.  Ms. Covin-Stilts informed the Council members the gas company is a regulated utility and they have to break down the charges, unlike oil companies that charge one price and the other charges are hidden.  Gas companies are not permitted to make more than a 10% profit on gas, but they do make money on the delivery fee.  She will be back next month for the June meeting, which will be held on the 4th.

The Blue Ridge School Board covered a lot of ground at its business meeting on May 4th, spending lots of money on roof repairs, clearing up a lot of year-end arrangements and preparing for the next, and hiring a new Business Manager.

The evening opened early, however, with a meeting of Michael Detwiler’s Policy Committee, dominated, of course, by Board President Laurie Brown-Bonner, who concentrated the committee’s and the administration’s attention on the student handbooks, which try to follow Board policy. She was concerned about how much fine print might be missed by students and parents. She was concerned by the cell phone policy, and by the policy covering the Pledge of Allegiance. And she was concerned about the accounting for and handling of absences.
