Milo town board 02/17/09 Meeting: Milo town board met for approximately 45 minutes Feb. 17 followed by an executive session to discuss personnel matters lasting approximately five minutes. Attendance: All council members were present. Four members of the public were in the audience. Action: The board voted to proceed with Grievance Day on the fourth Tuesday in May. Last year the date was changed due to assessor Randy Deal’s schedule. This was not an issue this year. • The board voted to send proposed amendments to the zoning law and proposed changes in the town code regarding administration costs and fees associated with developments. Several county municipalities are studying this type of change which would provide compensation for expenditures for items associated with large developments, such as engineering fees. • The proposed furnace law was to be sent to the town and county planning boards and the State Environmental Quality Review work begun. • The board reviewed request for additional funds for the Dundee summer recreation program. The board approved up to $388 in additional funds. Four youth who live in the town participated in the Dundee program last summer. Sixty percent of the available recreation funds are awarded to the Village of Penn Yan and 40 percent to the village of Dundee.
