Update: New Firm Provides Services at Airport

Wed, Dec 15, 2010

A new firm has signed a contract to manage and provide services at the Hamilton Municipal Airport.

At tonight's regular monthly meeting, the village board of trustees were told that Waypoint Aviation Services is now at the airport. It will offer flight instruction, repairs and day-to-day operations. The company also has facilities in Syracuse and in Rome.

The board also was informed by Mayor Sue McVaugh that a joint public hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 19 at the Town of Madison hall to discuss the possible annexation of now-vacant property on Rte 12B North adjacent to the Wendt University Inn.The Madison Town Board and the Village Board of Trustees will hear residents' comments.

There are plans to expand the hotel and the property in question would be used for parking.

Also at the meeting, the board:

+ heard that village police Officer Gary Mlasgar has been assigned to HCS as a resource officer for the elementary and the secondary school.

+learned that four light poles on Broad Street between West Pleasant and the post office will have to be replaced because their bases are corroding;

+ approved leasing a new Chevrolet Lumina for the police department, replacing the Ford Expedition, which has high mileage. The village expects to save money because the Lumina will get better mileage than the large SUV. The Expedition will be sold as surplus property. Cost of the lease for the new Lumina will be $2,000 per quarter.

+ workers from the Department of Public Works will be cutting the chains and removing bicycles still on village sidewalks, after having been tagged and their owners asked to be removed. McVaugh said the bikes are blocking efforts to removed snow from the sidewalks.
