The hearing on the puppy mill legislation will be postponed till sometime in January.. The hearing was originally scheduled for tonight but we have three other public hearings – on the budget, capital budget and on tree legislation. It is not fair to those who want to speak for or against the legislation to make them wait a few hours before the hearing begins. Tonight’s public hearing was going to be adjourned at the conclusion of the hearing till January anyway.
We will announce the new date of the hearing tonight.
Residents who made special plans to attend tonight’s meeting because they wanted to speak for or against the proposed legislation (or offer compromise suggestions) are always welcome to comment about this or other matters during the public comment portion of our Town Board meeting. In 2020 we will make an effort not to hold many hearings on important issues the same evening.
Sorry for any inconvenience. PAUL FEINER
