1/23/13 Fishkill Special Town Board Meeting

http://fishkilltownny.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detail_Meeting.aspx?ID=1067

Please note that this meeting was not televised.

Of importance:

There is going to be Zoning change to allow for Accessory Cottages.

There was discussion about a Hotel Tax, in which a board member stated it was the Village of Fishkill that brought it to the town as a proposal.

The Senior Tax exemption failed as it was not submitted on time.

Wood Fire Boilers will be regulated.

On 5.A.3.a There is a possible proposal to place on the ballot, for Land Conservation. The town already has a Parklands Trust Fund that is meant for such purpose. After a 53% tax increase, 25% sewer and 78% water increase. The town is considering shackling the taxpayer with another tax. The town is looking at a way to preserve a Revolutionary War Burial Ground. Instead of working for the developer, I suggest the town rezone this plot into a cemetery.

There was also talk about a lawsuit against a law firm. This was discussed in Executive Session and I have no information on it as of now.
