He reported that he has talked with Attorney John Barney and the State Comptroller regarding how funds may be held by the Town for the Danby Community Park project. Danby is allowed to have an account for money donated to the park project. The committee when soliciting funds and donations must advertise and explain that the funds are non-refundable and are a property of the Town. Refunding donations (funds) would require a ruling from the Attorney General . It would be best if the accounts and fund raising were through Community Council as they already have a 501 (c) . Detailed records must be kept. Esther Dotson addressed the Board and reported that the Danby Park Committee have decided not to test the law in this way. Once the park is up and running it must have a 501 (c) . They have consulted a lawyer and as soon as they file for incorporation from the State they can start collecting funds. After the 5010 is obtained the corporation will require a minimum of three (3 ) directors . A meeting will be called to advertise the park incorporation and the administration will need to consult with the park committee . They will schedule two (2) meetings for November 1st. One at 1 : 00 at the Senior Citizen ' s Meeting, and one here at the Town Hall at 7 : 30 p .m . Danby Community Park Committee will solicit funds and the park will be dedicated to the Town. Funds are to be raised over a five (5) year period . Ester invited the members of the Board to attend the November 1st. Senior Citizens Meeting. Exit Poll (?) Having an exit poll or a questionnaire available at the November election to obtain views of the public on the need for a community park was discussed. It was decided that may not be a good idea if it is legal as it could take away the emphasis on the election. Benjamin ' s One Stop - Update Susan Beeners reported she is expecting written confirmation from the owners of Benjamin ' s One Stop for full demolition of the site. The site can be demolished to grade of slab . We cannot place gravel or top soil on the site after demolition.
