The board has made a selection for the new Library Director; the Town Board will review at May 17th meeting. All the recently hired staff are in the process of training for the positions and awaiting Civil Service testing. National Library Week and National Library Giving Day were well supported by our community. Donations were $6416, the book sale brought in $603, raffles netted $498. The Swing Band concert was standing room only. The May edition of the Library Newsletter is available online as well as at the library. The staff will be transitioning to summer offerings to begin in June. Friends of the Library continues its work on becoming a 501c3. Patty Ryan has volunteered to be the trustee liaison to the Friends board. Elaine will encourage the Friends board to select a liaison to attend the Library Trustee meetings. There will be a public reception June 7th from 4-6pm honoring Elaine Dunne and Deb Fuehring on their retirement. The next meeting of the board will be June 13th at 4:15pm. The Massena Electric Utility Board met on April 20, 2023. It has been 296 days since the last lost time incident and 659 days without a reportable injury. In March, there were 8 trouble calls; only two of the calls involved power outages because of animal contact with the transformers. In a separate incident, one pole had to be replaced due to a hit and run accident. The crews continue to finish up winter projects and phase into spring/summer activities, including work on the ash trees. Purchased power prices were down in March as was the total amount of power purchased. Total receipts were below budget for March. The HEAP program was slated to close at the end of March but has been extended to the end of April due to increased community needs. Insurance costs were significantly higher than budgeted, mostly due to the limited number of companies interested in insuring the substations. The board wants to remind customers that the “convenience fee” charged when they make an online payment is added by the payment processor and not by MED; that amount does not come back to MED. MED staff will be participating in a table-top security drill with the Massena Police Department in June. Reports Submitted by Sue Bellor 1. The Chamber of Commerce Board held the required vote for members on April 20th and the merger was approved. The St. Lawrence County Chamber will hire staff for the office here. 2.

Softball has begun and we have 12 teams on Monday, 1 Tuesday, 1 Wednesday, 8 Thursday, 3 Friday, and 4 on Sunday as well as several tournaments already in the books for the summer. Massena Recreation has 141 registered players in Massena Youth lacrosse, which we have taken over for the first time and has plenty of rentals in the arena for box lacrosse this spring as well. Massena Town Beach will open on Memorial Day (picinic area only) this year again with will open for bathing when the temperatures are appropriate. We were looking to do some May activities at the arena but are busy with lacrosse additions and extra mowing responsibilities, so those activities are taking a back seat at this time (Indoor Movie, Nerf).
