PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE REPORTS Tim Kelly, Peter Meeker and Greg Williams attended the Board of Trustees meeting held on Wed., June 22, 2016. It was agreed by those who attended that some of the decisions made by the Board of Trustees were a procedural test for the CAC regarding possible town code violations. Acting-Chairman Jack McGreevy led an extensive discussion on how to handle observations made by the CAC and the procedure to report possible town I I +�_ � . 2 code violations. Trustee John Bredemeyer suggested keeping the observations/violations separate from the application reports. The Trustees are responsible for investigating and enforcing wetland code violations only. Jack McGreevy requested all observations of possible town code violations be reported at the next monthly CAC meeting. OLD BUSINESS Jack McGreevy and Peter Meeker have been working on updating the mission statement. Jack asked the group for suggestions. The question was raised on whether an update was necessary and was suggested that the CAC grow into the existing mission statement, rather than change it, just to change it. Trustee John Bredemeyer mentioned that the Trustees are proposing an amendment to Ch. 275 to include language to allow the Board to request environmental audits, separate from SEQRA. These audits would be conducted by the CAC. NEW BUSINESS Jack McGreevy proposed the current policy to Support or Not Support a wetland permit application be abolished. He felt strongly that the group should be submitting recommendations only. He requested a vote at the next monthly meeting. Jack McGreevy proposed that the monthly minutes include the actual time that a member and/or liaison leaves a meeting before it's has been adjourned. The purpose of this is to keep everyone in line. The proposal was voted down by an informal vote. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Moved by Tim Kelly, seconded by Keith McCamy, to Approve the Minutes of June 15, 2016.
