NOTES Town Bd. & Organizational Mtgs – 01/03/12 REDUCTION in PLANNING AND ZONING BOARDS

All itmes previously posted for the agenda were approved.   I am proud to announce that in keeping with my platform to increase government efficiency, by a vote of 6-1 (R. Griffo voting nay) the Town Board has decreased the size of the Zoning Board by 2 seats and reduced the Planning Board by 2 seats and eliminating the alternate’s position.  Even though the financial savings are small ($10-15,000) per year plus the contribution years later for the State Retirement system, it is important that we start somewhere.  In addition, too much government and fragmentation stifles economic growth.  We need to unify our resources and make it easier for everyone to do business with our municipality.
