Also under new business, Attorney DelVecchio recalled discussion had at the December
21, 2022 Town Board Meeting, regarding the drafting of a proposed local law that would address
updates to the building and fire codes. While he had the draft local law prepared, he was not ready
to present it to the Board until he spoke with the NYS Department of State to make sure the
