Book of Laws – Chris Curkendall will put together a hard copy of all the laws and give to Angie to copy and put together for everyone else.

Uniform Fire Prevention – tabled
Road Use Agreement – took what Owego was working on and tightened it up. After reviewing documents from Kevin Noble and Darlene Cobler and talking with the Citizens Advisory Group, feel that an Escrow account is the way to go. We were once told that it was not doable, but found that you can if not specific to one company, it has to be general. We would define the triggers and order of release. Reporting to the Board what the Citizens Advisory Group has been discussing and changes they have made. Chris Curkendall will also be meeting with the new attorney. Several discussions took place. The Village is also interested in the agreement. Need to definitely seek legal counsel. At the January 25th Planning Board Workshop we should invite Kurt Schrader and two Board members to go over the draft agreement. Chris Curkendall will wait to hear from Darlene if this is possible.
Town Survey of Critical Areas – would ask the Citizens Advisory Group to identify critical areas so we know they could be an issue. Each area will be listed in a database. Survey will be online, as well as hard copies available at the bank, Town Hall, etc. Chris Curkendall motioned to approve the survey and authorize the Citizens Advisory Group to do it, not seconded, motion died. Need further review and consideration. If it is a critical area it would result in a more extensive environmental review.

Peter Ward motioned to adjourn the meeting @ 9:05 p.m., Matt Crowe seconded, approved. Ayes (4) Nays (0) Abstentions (0).
