OPEN FORUM

• Kathleen Brown gave a presentation to the Town Board on the Caledonia Library Association. The Caledonia Library is a member of the Pioneer Library System and has also received designation as a Historical Building on the National Registry. This designation as a historical building will now make more grant money available for the library to be able to apply for. The library is an association type library, which receives municipal support and also school district support. The library has several reading programs that currently supplement the school reading programs and also serves over 1400 regular patrons each year. For the 2008 budget, the library is requesting from both the Town and Village $35,000. Supervisor Pangrazio thanked Kathleen Brown on behalf of the Town Board for her presentation on the Library, and told her that the Town would honor the Library Association’s request of $35,000.00 for their 2008 Budget.
• Eileen Lafave, Town Historian and Councilwoman Rychlicki addressed the Town Board on the recent improvements at the Caledonia Rural Cemetery. Eileen has a newly updated list and map of who is buried at the cemetery and has that at her shop since she gets many inquiries about the cemetery. Maureen Reeves has the old Iron Gate from the original entrance to the Caledonia Rural Cemetery and she would like to donate it to the Town to use as part of the entrance to the cemetery. The highway department will remove the gate when their work schedule permits. Eileen Lafave will contact Maureen Reeves about the removal of the gate.
