GREAT VALLEY — The Great Valley Town Board held their regularly scheduled monthly meeting Monday with safe social distancing practices in place.

Town Supervisor Dan Brown reported Tuesday that mowing bids were opened for town grounds, Kill Buck park, the cemeteries and memorial park. The contract was awarded to D&J Lawn Services, of Salamanca, for $8,895.

Bids for painting and repairing the town hall, dog kennel and interior/exterior of the playground bathroom was awarded to Rinko painting for $22,500, Brown said.

The Great Valley Food Pantry has set new hours for every Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“We ask everyone to please respect those hours,” Brown said. “It is only a drive through service. No one is allowed inside the building.”

From the Code Enforcement Officer’s report, Brown said he has sent out multiple property maintenance court dates but must wait for courts to reopen. The county health department is investigating multiple complaints regarding garbage and sewer issues within the hamlet of Kill Buck, he added.

The Highway Department remains on emergency call until further notice from the county and state, Brown said. They were called out Friday, April 10 for snow plowing.

Town Board member Sandy Goode reported on the progress of the new bike trail planned to go through the county. She said they are progressing on implementation of their plan.

The meeting was held in the memory of Jim Morton, a long time resident and volunteer with the fire department and ambulance squad, Brown said. Morton was recognized yearly by the fire department for his service and in many years the most calls.

Further public hearings regarding the Kill Buck sewer district are on hold until the second required public hearing can be held.
