NEW BUSINESS

Kaye Dougherty will be in the New Town Office for anyone interested in talking about his or her increase in assessment. Grievance Day is May 30, 2002 from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

OLD BUSINESS

Department of Environmental Conservation will changed their ways of handling hunting license sales. It would involve them taking electronically funds from the town clerks checkbook. This would be of extra expense to the town. The town only makes $1.00 on each stamp now. It is a money-loosing proposition now and only adds extra expense to the town under their new rules. The Town Board will make the decision at the next board meeting if we will take a year off and see how it works for other towns.
