REPORTS Peter Young conducted a follow-up inspection of the Gallagher property with Trustee John Bredemeyer. The Board of Trustees Tabled the application at their meeting held on May 20th for a further discussion on June 17th The CAC met with the Town Board at their work session held on May 19th to review the committee's mission statement, minutes, accomplishments and objectives. The general sense after the discussion with the Town Board was that the mission statement was too specific and should be more general. The committee also questioned their role in the 2 review of wetland permit applications. It was suggested that the CAC inspect the applications that require a more in depth review that than those that already have best management practices in place, such as swimming pools. After a further discussion at the CAC meeting, Jack McGreevy was opposed to changing the mission statement and requested input from the other committee members. Jack felt strongly that the CAC should take on a project to save the Peconic Bays by advocating for public funding. Chairman Peter Young expressed his concern with the project and the role of the CAC. It was his position that any communications with other governmental agencies should come directly from the Supervisor and the Board. Councilman Jim Dinizio commented on Jack McGreevy's letter to the Town Board regarding the Gallagher property. It was Jim's opinion that the Town Board should not get involved with a pending application before the Board of Trustees. He suggested a further discussion on the application after a decision has been made by the Board of Trustees. Jack McGreevy disagreed.
