All present were invited to discuss with subject, comments welcomed. The Supervisor proposed that we move the regular monthly board meeting for November to the l0th, instead of the usual Wednesday after election, to allow more time for invoices to be submitted. The Public Hearing this evening satisfies the requirement that such a session be held no later than the Thursday following the General Election. At the November l0th meeting, the 2000 budget will be fomally enacted. Budget discussions were held and some minor changes made. Local Law #2 of l999, for amending the Mobile Home Park Law... Don Slocum was asked if he felt that the board had adddressed all the concerns of the advisory committee. Missing he felt was some approach to general subdivions of any type, but since this would part of Local Law #l (lot size and set-asides) we had not gotten into considering subdivisions at this time. Jack Grant asked about permit fees in the amended law and it was explained that Permitting a new Park would be $300 plus $30/per unit. For existing park expansion, $30.00/unit. Some additional discussion held. The two public hearings closed at 9:00 p.m. On a motion from Ken Patchen, seconded by Lorie Fessenden, Local Law #2 of l999, amending the Mobile Home Law was adopted. 5 Aye votes.
