Recent Committee meetings were held and here are the notes. All board members were present with the exception of J. Salanger and R. Griffo.
Parks: Airport/Aviation Museum Proposal
Camillus was an early county leader in aviation/airport industry. The first facility in the county was located behind where Reed Webster Park currently is. A Committee has been formed and they want to erect a small museum to showcase our community’s place in early aviation. It is proposed to be located in Reed Webster Park. Tentative architectural renderings are drawn. The committee is not seeking any funds from the town. They are only seeking town board support to legitimize seeking funding from all other sources.
This plan started in March 2006 as Supervisor was asked to assist for a location for a model and it grew to showcase this missing piece of Camillus history. A 501(c)3 may be most likely be formed to assist in seeking funds.
Zoning & Planning: A Frame Signs
The town board has been working with local business as there has been a proliferation of A Frame signs recently. The Planning and Boards, along with our Codes department has worked diligently to clean up the appearance of Geneese Street and we have been asked to assist with the business owners. Currently 18 standard signs already are in existence. The concerns exist that this could turn in to an unsightly issue if everyone starts to utilize it. A lenghty discussion ensued and the issue will be discussed at the August 28 Town Board Meeting.
