Town of Danby Board Meeting + Public Hearing Tuesday 4 January 2022 at 7:00PM
4. Privilege of the Floor
4.1.Ted Crane promoted the DCC-sponsored talk on Sunday about the
Search for Life in Outer Space.
4.2.Ronda Roaring had several comments:
4.2.1.She could not see the Code Enforcement Officer’s Report and
wants it to be tabled.
4.2.2.She thanked whoever formatted the Organizational Resolutions
and reiterated to remind people if they are running the meeting
and determining who speaks, they shouldn’t interrupt the speaker
who has 3 minutes.
4.2.3.She opposed the proposed CAC appointment of Brad Rauch due
to lack of qualifications. She was looking for the CAC’s enabling
resolution to confirm whether an appointee needs to be a Danby
resident.
4.2.4.She proposed the Town change from appointing a CAC to a
Municipal Land Trust as it would take care of some of those
problems.
4.3.Jill Rosental asked what went into determining how the new zones
were configured. She bought 12 acres land even though she didn’t need
12 acres because there were no other lots available. She needed to buy
in Danby, so she and a family member planned to build two houses and
separate them into two lots with the town’s knowledge that this would
happen.
4.3.1.Supervisor Gagnon noted that Rosental should speak with Planner
West for guidance.

coordinator, an energy advisor, etc.

Town Board; the deadline is 12 January 2022.

Resolution 34 approved
10.4. Potential Brad Rauch Appointment, CAC
10.4.1.Connors acknowledged that Rauch is well-qualified to serve.
However, she added that many residents of Danby would not
appreciate appointing someone to a board who is not a resident,
even though we could. She proposed that when he becomes a
Danby resident, he becomes the next top choice for the CAC or
PB. Otherwise, it is setting a bad precedent.
10.4.2.Schnabel agreed noting that just because one is allowed to do
something doesn’t mean one should.
10.4.3.CAC Chair Clare Fewtrell concurred with his excellent candidacy
but expressed concern of having non-residents on the CAC setting
a bad precedent. That said, she also noted that having non CAC
members participate is not impossible.
10.4.4.Gagnon still doesn’t feel there is any risk in appointing someone
who is not a resident.
