PLANNING BOARD:

Atty. Bavoso explained the possibility for appointing alternates for the planning and zoning boards.  It’s allowed by state law to adopt a local law that allows alternates.  The alternates are in place so that they will attend every meeting and be up to date on the applications but won’t be able to officially act on anything unless members are absent. Comes in handy for when members go on vacation & having quorum for meeting.  He can draft local law for this with board approval. He discussed 2 for planning board and 1 or 2 for zoning board.  Supervisor Volpe added that Wayne has not had a full board since he started.  Councilman Ketcham asked if the planning board was okay with this.  Gary is the liaison he will ask at their next meeting.

MOUNT HOPE FIRE COMPANY:  They are in a meeting.  Someone will be coming in John’s place.
