RESOLUTION NO. 26 OF 2007
RESOLUTION TO RESCIND RESOLUTION NO. 24 OF 2007 DISCONTINUING
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION TASK FORCE
By Councilperson Nolte : Seconded by Councilperson Varona-Lacey
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Danby rescinds Resolution No . 24 of 2007
entitled "DISCONTINUING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TASK FORCE"
Discussion :
Councilperson Varona-Lacey attended the last Task Force meeting and the entire committee voted
in favor bringing back to the board a petition to rescind the resolution and were not comfortable with
the way the process took place. She said voted to discontinue the Task Force believing that they
knew that their job was coming to an end.
Councilperson Salino - stands by the decision made last month.
Councilperson Beavers - there was no intention to hurt anybody' s feelings but an idea of using
resources in a more productive way. By disbanding the Task Force does not mean that it couldn ' t
be reinstated at a later date and he thinks hamlet planning should be done while we have the
resources of our intern.
Councilperson Nolte said that he thinks the Task Force has done a lot of work. With all the work
funneled through the Code Enforcement office it does not leave time for more staff support and does
not make sense to rescind the resolution.
Supervisor Dietrich said that everybody' s intent was in the right place . Procedure wise is the
concern about the way we discontinued the Task Force . His interpretation from Planning Board and
Task Force members is that the Town Board gave direction to the Task Force for a years worth of
activities and thought that we would sit down and draft a plan for the next year.
Hamlet Planning - He agrees we need to do hamlet planning and have a hamlet in West Danby with
an aging water system. The Town has inadequate lighting, sidewalks , commercial zones, and
inadequate infrastructure . He said he needs to have a better understanding of whether West Danby
is the place to start or Danby.
He asked the Board to take a step back and rescind these two(2) resolutions and try to meet with a
179
3 Town Board Minutes
February 12 , 2007
joint group of the Planning Board and Task Force on March 5 to discuss these issues .
Councilperson Varona-Lacey said that she would like to see rescinding the resolution and having the
Task Force continue. Then maybe in two or three months the board could have a discussion.
Councilperson Beavers said that if we rescind this resolution it does not reinstate the Task Force .
We actually have to propose a resolution to recreate the Task Force .
Supervisor Dietrich said that the Task Force will be reconstituted . At present it requires staff support
from the Town Clerk and Zoning Officer. The committee It could be reconstituted without them
without them and could keep internal notes .

Ronda Roaring - (Member of the Task Force) She feels that there a lot of issues that they need to
finish. She never had the impression that they were finished.
Ramona - Ehrhardt - thought that the Task Force was moving forward and that it is a good idea to
keep the Task Force going. She thinks that a joint meeting of the boards is a good idea.
Ann Klingensmith - (Member of the Task Force) knew we were almost through with some of the
tasks and wanted to see that their work moved through the process . She feels that the Task Force has
been constructive.
Joe Husband - We (the residents) are going to be here to support whatever the boards decide .
Whether you have a hamlet or a Task Force we need to start focusing on getting people into the
town. He asked the board to put some direction into planning and who is going to work on it.

Councilperson Beavers said that this resolution is to try to get people from both the hamlet areas and
will involve subcommittees .

should have been wider conservation on how to form the committee .
