OTHER MATTERS
Training
Chair Clark recognized Lyle Raymond, Chairman of the Town's Zoning Board of Appeals, who was
present along with ZBA Member Tom Tylutki to present a proposal for in-service training (four hours
per year is now required for Planning/Zoning Boards).
Mr. Tylutki advised everyone present that he will be taking the 10 CEU course and then, once
completed, he would become the trainer for the Town. Joint sessions could be done throughout the
year; there are a total of ten tutorials. There were many ways this could be done: discussion sessions,
formal presentations, or a mix. He had approached the Town Board with this earlier this week and
they were fully supportive he said. The ten courses would take about ten hours. The Planning
Board members present thought this would be a good way to meet the requirements. Mr. Tylutki
stated he would be setting up a schedule.
Town Attorney
Town Attorney distributed copies of "Sample Motions" for the Board to use at their meetings, as had
been previously requested by then-Chair Monica Carey.
