DELETIONS TO THE AGENDA : Supervisor Horst reported that the Time Warner Report has been deferred to June Town Board Meeting . PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR: Councilperson Steiner reported that he contacted the Tompkins County Sheriff' s Department relative to speeding on Comfort Road, Bald Hill Road and other roads in the Town of Danby. The patrolmen will be asked to check the Danby area and the Undersheriff suggested that the New York State Police be contacted also . He also contacted H & E Machinery regarding speeding by employees in the Comfort Road area and read the following memo from Elmer Locker that was addressed to all employees of H & E Machinery and dated May 11 , 1998 . "We have received concerns from the town and from people who live in the community about speeding. I am bringing this to your attention to avoid any possible personal injury accident involving anyone at H&E . It is H&E' s management position that for the sake of the lives of our employees, residents and livestock that live in the area, that we cannot tolerate this behavior in any form . H&E has a good reputation in the surrounding community and will not jeopardize it by such an easily corrected issue . Please use this opportunity to re-evaluate your driving habits to ensure that you are not part of the problem . I thank you in advance for your total cooperation." Supervisor Horst said that this issue was discussed at the May 6 , 1998 Agenda Meeting and that he and the Councilpersons have received communications from residents concerned about the excessive speed on Comfort Road . The Town has made attempts over the past few years to the County and NYS DoT to get the speed limit reduced on Comfort Road and other roads in the Town. The Town has been turned down three (3 ) times by the State . X90 Town Board Minutes 2 May 11 , 1998 Members of the Public : John Henderson - 441 Comfort Road thanked Councilperson Steiner for contacting the area police and H&E regarding speeding traffic . Dan Klein - 56 Durfee Hill Road is interested in the Town Board setting guidelines around the newsletter where controversial issues show both sides of the argument. Liz Roe - 1820 Danby Road addressed the issues that were raised by Dan Klein. She said that she thinks that the guidelines she has developed address those issues . There is a proposal by Councilperson Gagnon to form an Editorial Board" . She said that she does not see a problem with having people monitor the news or see that guidelines are met but what she does have a problem with is the difficulty of collecting material . People do not submit articles on a regular or timely basis . She sees the board or committee as a monitoring situation to see that the guidelines are followed. Pat Woodworth - 305 Gunderman Road said that she thinks it is critical that we have guidelines for the Danby Area News and that the information published is correct . Judy VanDermark - said that as a newcomer to Danby she was not the number one choice by many people for the President of Community Council . She is concerned when information she submits in advance of publishing deadlines is omitted due to lack of room especially for camp scholarships available . Willard Daetsch - Danby Road appreciates the clean-up of the Town Hall property by the Task Force and that they accomplished a lot. Susan Beeners - Code Enforcement Officer - would like the Board to make a decision on whether to invite Monroe Telecom to talk to the Planning Board and Town Board; and a chance to respond to Item No . 3 under Old Business - Comprehensive Plan Project. Councilperson Strichartz responded to statements related to the Danby Area News and said she thinks that the separation of church and State is very important and that we must have very good guidelines to insure that one church isn ' t advertized above other churches in the community. She said she advocated having some sort of set of guidelines that will protect all sides and are fair. Supervisor Horst reported that there had several calls from concerned citizens about the articles published in the last issue of the Danby Area News about the West Danby Church. Liz Roe - reported that a year ago there was nothing to report in the news . Trying to get residents to contribute and to get the richness of "What is Danby" in the news is pretty weary because there seems to be a lot of dissent but not in a constructive way. Having guidelines is a very constructive approach. It is a community newsletter and should represent everyone . Councilperson Gagnon said that anyone who has an interest in the Danby Area News should have an opportunity to look at the guidelines that Liz proposed and at the guidelines that he proposed.
