There is no correspondence on thJs~ I do have affidavits that it has been posted on the Town Clerk's Bulletin Board, and also published. SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Laury, would you please, again, explain this in a layman's terms. You know it's the request of the request. I know this isn't legal jargon, but I would like the watching public to know exactly what it is saying. TOWN ATTORNEY DOWD: It says if the citizen comes to the Town for a permit, or an approval, say you come for a tax reduction, or a come for a variance, and you come for some kind of approval from the Planning Board, that along with your appl[catlo.n you have to file a form that, sta.tes whether or not you have any relatfonsh~ps with the people that are decidmg on your application, any financial relationships, say you are in business with them, or somebody on the Board's wife works with you, works for you, and basically you to the extent that you know, if you have a relationship .with someone that is deciding on your application. If you put it down on a piece of paper-, now, that goes ~o the Board members, and they can ali look at it, and saY, .oh, yeah, I guess I had better excuse myself on t.his one. It's to help r~mlnd th.em as ~ell as to basically make sure everythin.g that the town does is .basically abo~e board, and not subject tO any kmd of personal relationships that arer~t made known. Is that clear e~loug~? SUPERVISOR ~COCHRAN: Is there anyone that would like to address this Local Law in Relation to Applicant Disclosure? (No response.) If not, the hearing is closed. Judith T.
