By Linda Oassarab Correspondent LAKE GEORGE The village and town boards will meet at the Town Hall at 5 p.m.

today for their annual evaluation and planning session. This year's session, hosted by the village, will touch on several controversial issues, such as the Festival Commons plans and the proposed firehouse expansion, as well as with matters involving duplication of services and purchases. Village Mayor Robert Blais said the purpose of the meeting is evaluation of past projects and planning for future joint projects. The public is invited to attend, but the meeting is not intended as a forum for public input and discussion, said Blais. Blais said the only item on the agenda that will require formal action will be a request by the village for the town to approve a capital investment for the sewage treatment facility.

Areas in which the two municipalities will look to join forces will be sanitation, water treatment and Department of Public Works purchases of equipment. Assessor Diane Rehm will attend the meeting to discuss cost sharing between the village and the town for the sewage treatment property. The recent defeat by taxpayers of the proposed expansion of the village firehouse may lead the town and the village to work hand-in-hand for a solution to the space problem that led to the proposal, according to Blais. Blais said he would like to see the formation of a committee with representatives from the fire department, the Village Board and the Town Board to look into possible long-term solutions for the fire department.
