• Supervisor Garretson spoke with Mayor Guido about transferring the Town parking lot the village. More info to come.

Councilperson Waterfield gave an overview of a potential Solar Law. Main concern is who and how will the Town enforce the Law. Some of the bullet points are:
• Reporting and tracking large scale systems
• Owner or operator would have the facility inspected annually and file this report with the Town
• Need to know what needs to be included in report and if everything is sufficient
• Keeping track of where the properties are, who the contact is and have a follow up procedure for what happens if the owner/operator doesn’t file with the Town.
• Planning Board wants to put most of the responsibility on the owner and how to deal with an owner who does not comply, etc.
• Would the Town have a code enforcement officer? The County will not participate in this type of enforcement.
• Supervisor Garretson suggested reaching out to the Town Attorney for wording of a Solar Law.

Supervisor Garretson emailed Dave Bliss regarding the recyclable issues at the Town site. Dave forwarded the email to Karen Sullivan and she forwarded the email to Cassella.
