TOWN OF DVDEN PLANNING BOARD Eighth Meeting 4 The minutes of the August 27, 1957 and September 11, June 4, 4, 1958 1958 showed that Mr. Sadd acted on a request by the Planning Board to contact Mrs. Constance Cook as to her being the attorney for the Planning Board. The record shows that Mrs. Cook is willing. The question that has now come up is that this is in conflict with the resolution passed by the Town Board at its meeting on June 6, 1956. The reason for the conflict is that the Town Board had never given to the Planning Board the information contained in the resolution until this meeting. Under the circumstances it was decided that the Town Board should advise the Planning Board as to who should be their attorney. The Planning Board has now arrived at the conclusion that it is ready to go ahead with the preparation of the Zoning Map and Ordinance. This cannot be done without assistance in the preparation of a map and ordinance• The best estimates which we have been able to make for the preparation of ANM a map and ordinance is $1500 to $2000. Mr. Gridley asked that we submit this request to him for presentation to the Town Board at the July 3 meeting. The Secretar7 was instructed to send a copy of these minutes to Mr. Gridley as a formal request for finanaces and personnel to do the job. Katharine C.
