- Councilperson Barown gave an update to the Comprehensive Plan and he does not see any major changes that need to be made. He does have some questions regarding the last 2000 Census in terms of numbers and should these numbers be changed to reference the 2010 Census? Things like unemployment rates and average incomes etc. The other recommendation Chris is going to make to the Town Board is there are sections in the Comprehensive Plan like forestry and water quality to name a couple, each one of these sections has recommendations to move the Town in the direction that the Comprehensive Plan is suggesting. Councilperson Barown’s suggestion is to form a committee to go through these recommendations and to see which ones we are doing, which ones we aren’t doing and which ones we should be doing. Councilperson Barown will have a written report for next meeting with his suggestions.
- New truck has been ordered through Beam Mack & Henderson. The truck should arrive roughly around March 2013.
- Beth Rosenthal gave a brief update on County Business. For more information regarding County Business can be found on the Otsego County web site.
