WURTSBORO  — As he acknowledged a “relatively full house” at Tuesday night’s Mamakting Town Board meeting, Deputy Supervisor Peter Goodman understood residents wanted the vote regarding Zoning Change.

Goodman explained that the Town Board is still conferring with Town Attorney Benjamin Gailey and speaking with Town Supervisor Michael Robbins.

“We have not come up with any decisions, we will not be voting on any of the Zoning Amendments,” stated Goodman. “We are deep in thought with it. We are paying attention to all of you guys out there, and we are paying attention to Ben.”

He stated that Robbins will have more at the following meeting.

Putting a roof on repairs

Goodman noted the issues with the Mamakating Justice Court ceiling that are being taken care of.

A company called PuroClean will be coming in early July to clean the ceiling and do duct work.

Councilman John Rufer encouraged Goodman to explain the situation further, in which he (Goodman) detailed that the Court has what appears to be mildew coming out of their vents.

He explained the ceiling is a popcorn one and PuroClean will be cleaning the vents out and sanitizing the ceiling.

“Hopefully they will be able to do it quickly and easily without destroying the popcorn and having to redo that,” stated Goodman. “Then they’re going to vacuum everything up to make sure that none of it is spread or [it] creates any kind of a public issue.”

Inspection by the Town revealed staining up on the ceiling, which Goodman stated would be taken care of and making sure the “public is safe.”

The Town received three “very different” quotes, according to Rufer. Goodman described that they “ranged from $7,200 to $18,000” – the lowest [$7,221] was accepted.

“The work was seemingly identical in what everybody wanted to do so there was no reason to want to go with a very high quote,” stated Goodman.

The motion to approve PuroClean’s work on the Court ceiling and duct work was made by Councilman Gary Forthoffer and seconded by Councilman Matt Mordas, with both voting in favor.
