Planning Board Vacancies
Town Board is considering reducing the Planning Board to 5 members. One of the reasons is that there has not been planning activity within the town that 7 members are needed. There
was discussion on the change: are 7 board members needed; town population can be represented with 5 members; most towns have 5 board members; 1 agricultural member is needed. Ann
Chaffee asked if the town could leave the two positions open and only fill them if needed. Dan Walked stated that an answer would have to come from the town attorney.
There is one vacancy on the Planning Board now and a second vacancy will occur with Henry Hansteen leaving to become a Town Board member. Dan Walkers term ends in 2015 he was asked
by the Town Board to stay and take Henry Hansteens position. This will move Dan Walkers term to 2020.
[Note: Terms Calvin Rothermich 2016; Poney Carpenter 2017; Ann Chaffee 2018; Steve Givin 2019; Dan Walker 2020].
