PUBLIC HEARING ON BUDGETING
OF
REVENUE SHARING FUNDS
September 24, 1979
A,-public hearing was held by the Danby Town Board of the Town of
Danby, County of Tompkins and State of New York at the Danby Town
Hall, 1830 Danby Road at 8:00 P.M. on September 24, 1979 as duly
advertised in the September 18, 1979 issue of the Ithaca Journal.
The purpose of the hearing was to consider budgeting of the Federal
Revenue Sharing Funds.
Board members present: Supervisor A. Francis Wright
Councilman Ralph Wilbur
Councilman Robert Snedden
Board members absent: Councilperson Dorothy Roberts
Justice Milton Todd
Others present: Edward Slights, Mr. Reed.
The hearing was called to order by the Supervisor. He read the
proof of publication provided by the clerk. He then read a letter
from the Danby Senior Citizens asking that $1,000.00 of the Revenue
Sharing Funds be budgeted for the senior citizens to be used for
educational and recreational activities of that group. There were
no other requests for funds. Mr. Reed, representing the senior
citizens, asked the board if the senior citizens could have the
funds allocated to them in a lump sum when the budget is approved
instead of billing the town each time they have an activity and the
funds are needed. Supervisor A. Francis Wright stated that this
cannot be done according to New York State Law. A voucher must be
presented to the town board at the time funds are used for an
activity and then they are reimbursed.
As there was nothing more to be brought before the board, the
public hearing was declared adjourned at 8:30 P.M. by Supervisor
A. Francis Wright.
