The Special Town Board Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Cortlandville was
held at the Raymond G. Thorpe Municipal Building, 3577 Terrace Road, Cortland, New York,
with Deputy Supervisor Testa presiding.
Members present: Deputy Supervisor, Theodore V. Testa

Others present were: Town Attorney, John Folmer; Town CEO, Tom Williams; News
Reporter, Eric Mulvhill from WXHC; and News Reporter, Elaine Hughes from the Cortland
Standard.
Deputy Supervisor Testa called the Special Meeting to order. He explained that the
purpose of the meeting was to discuss the amendments to the Transient Business Ordinance.
Another Transient Business Permit was issued which brought concern to the fact that the
proposed amendments had not been adopted.
Councilman O'Donnell and Councilman Proud recalled that the Board tabled the matter
until the October 1, 2008 Town Board Meeting, to allow time for Planning/Zoning Officer,
Bruce Weber to present his opinion to the Board.
Deputy Supervisor Testa requested the Board adopt the proposed amendment. Any
changes would possibly require another public hearing to be conducted.
Attorney Folmer informed the Board that even if they adopted the revised ordinance, it
would not be effective until it was filed with the Department of State.
Councilman O'Donnell made a motion to table the matter until the October 1, 2008 Town
Board Meeting to allow Mr. Weber the opportunity to present his opinion to the Board.
