There are many towns across the country and in Mexico and Quebec who have made the pledge. The pledge requires that the town agree to undertake three actions a year. Because we have a native plant garden at Custer, which will be officially designated a Monarch Waystation very soon, she believes we've already meet at least three of the pledge elements. She completed the pledge form for review, and will e-mail pledge elements to Brian Mealy, Lauren Standish, AI Krupski and Gwynn Schroeder. • ZONING UPDATE-The CAC reviewed the March 5th version of the Zoning Update. Carol asked the members to review the table of contents and decide which items the CAC should be looking at. The CAC learned that the Aquifer Protection Overlay District was being removed from the March 5th draft. It was decided that they would send a memo immediately to the Town Board before the release of the April 22"d draft objecting to the removal. Maggie will work on a draft with Carol outlining the CAC's areas of concern. Once completed it will be forward to Councilman Mealy.
