Chairman Carpenter opened the meeting at 7:36 PM.
E. Carpenter asked for approval of November’s minutes, because no draft was available for review, it was
agreed to move approval to next month’s meeting.
1. Agriculture Protection Grant.
J. Nicholson prepared a draft of the New York Agriculture & Markets Farmland Protection Grant application
for the Committee’s review. E. Carpenter questioned why George Frantz’s name was on the list of “Key
project personnel.” K. LaMotte thought that Tompkins Cooperative Extension would be preparing and
writing the Plan. Joe Osmeloski wanted to know who would make up the “Project Team” as outlined in the
Project Timeline.
E. Carpenter said he would call J. Nicholson to express the Committee’s concerns.
2. Comprehensive Plan Review.
C. Anderson stated that the Planning Board was reviewing the Goals and Objectives in the Comprehensive
Plan to better understand what has and has not been accomplished to date and the Planning Board would
like the Ag. Committee’s input on the Agricultural Section.
The Committee agreed to review the Ag. section at home and discuss it at next Month’s meeting.
