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.
