Gary Goodnough welcomed the guests and thanked everyone for coming.

Jill and Brian Dugan reported that their application for a grant for state-required justice software was not approved.  Apparently the grants were distributed on the basis of volume of activity, so that towns with greater court revenue were given the grants, whereas towns with less revenue were denied.  They were advised to continue to reapply.

 

County Legislator George Fearon reported that he was contacted by a property owner in the town regarding the distribution of the NYS farmland protection program grants.   The concern was that possible encroachment from cities to the south is being insufficiently addressed.

 

There were no communications.  There was no old business.
