Agreement/Authorization- Empire State Development Regional Economic Development Board:

Councilor Bray asked if there would be a representative from Plumley Engineering. Mr. Germain said that they had spoken on the phone and he did not think that anyone would be present. Councilor Bray expressed her concern, adding that the reports are incomplete regarding the progress of the application. Councilor Young asked if the applicant has ever presented to the Board what the application was made for. Councilor Bray reiterated that she would like more information before proceeding. Deputy Supervisor Edick asked if it could be moved “subject to approval”. Mr. Germain asked the Board to inform him, when they have enough information to move on this.

There was a great deal of discussion regarding the lack of information provided and the possibility of losing the funding. Councilor Bick suggested that if the Board is not comfortable, they do not need to apply, however if authorization is not granted they can not apply.

Councilor Young moved the adoption of a resolution authorizing the Town of Clay to

apply to New York State agencies for grant funds administered by the Empire State Development Regional Economic Development Board for projects within the Town, including, but not limited to, the Three Rivers area remediation REGULAR MEETING OF THE TOWN BOARD – August 1st, 2013 Town of Clay
