August 10,1985 for estimates on equipment and repairs, (attached hereto,) Trustee Cioppa explained that there were nobid items since the flretruck repairs were already underway and expected t o cost approximately $6,3001 and that the estimate for paving at $.W.Johnson would be less than expected dae~%o a reduction in the area to be cgvered.

Mr. O'Connor stated that W.T.Garner apent an average of $1,000.00 per yr. on buildlng maintenance; Mr. Antonelli said it cost about $20,000 to operate S.W. Johnson. John Silvestri said.that the bay windows to replace the doo~s had been ordered and were cost-effective in heating cost savimtsl and that the roof leaked when it rained. Mr. O'Connor stated ,~hat while the company had repaired the center section of the ceiling, leaks in other areas posed a potential electrical hazard~ that closing in the old bay doors would reduce the uninsulated area significantly, and the use of thermal pane glass would cut heat loss. In addition, he stated that plans to block in two windows in the alleyway would make the building more securel and blacktop in the driveway would prevent gravel washing into the strom drains. Trustee Greco stated that he was disturbed by the short notice re the OSHA compliance. Donald Mazochi said that during his tenure on the Board, he does not recall ever seeing any such notice. Chief Alfonso reported that notification was supposed t o have been sent to each municipality in 1981, but that the Village was not the only municipality which may not have received notice. He stated that the OSHA standard equipment was safer in that it included a non-punture helmet, fireproof liners in the coats, and fire-resistant gloves.
