HERKIMER The Herkimer village board took no action on the village clerk-treasurer's appointment Monday but scheduled a special meeting for Tuesday evening to discuss the matter.

Mayor Mark Netti said he needed clarification before any action could be taken.

The appointment was the lone item on Tuesday's agenda.

At the board's Jan. 21 meeting, Netti proposed appointing a new clerk-treasurer to replace Amanda Viscomi and changing Village Superintendent James Franco's position to a per diem one. The board discussed both proposals in executive session for more than an hour, but did not vote on either one.

The clerk-treasurer's position was not discussed in open session Monday, but that appointment, along with court personnel, an update on litigation and other items were taken into an executive session which lasted approximately two hours.

PLANNING BOARD

Herkimer Village Planning Board Chairman Brion Carroll reported that a site plan review meeting on the proposed Mohawk Valley Community Action day care facility is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 10, in the court room at the municipal hall.

He said after conducting the review, the planning board will submit its recommendation to the village board to either approve the project, approve it with conditions or disapprove it.

The Herkimer Housing Authority's multi-phase redevelopment project includes the construction of a two-story building with 24 senior and affordable housing units and a day care facility at 310 John Ave., as well as remodeling Creekside Courts on Protection Avenue, Eastern Gardens on Harter Street and Midtown Apartments on North Prospect Street and the construction of 15 new units at the corner of Harter and Steuben streets. The current day care programs at Creekside Courts and Eastern Gardens will be consolidated into one program with 63 slots at the John Avenue facility, according to the plans. The space freed up at Eastern Gardens and Creekside Courts will be turned into community rooms.
