Motion Unanimously Carried
Before the close of the meeting, Mr. DiNonno and several member of the
Planning Board came to the meeting as requested, in order to discuss
appointment of a Planning Board member.
SUPERVISOR SMITH questioned Mr. DiNonno on the Planning Boards
decision whether or not to reappoint Mr. Gagne. Mr. DiNonno answered,
that at the last meeting, the Planning Board left the decision in the hands
of the Town Board. COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO announced that he had
attended the meeting of the Planning Board, where they voted in favor of
recommending Mr. Gagne again. Mr. DiNonno explained, that after that
meeting he received phone calls from several of the members, and brought
up the nomination of Mr. Gagne at the Executive Session of the December
20th meeting. COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO informed Mr. DiNonno, that at
the December 6th meeting that he attended, Mrs. Visconti made a motion to
nominate Mr. Gagne, and after some discussion, the Planning Board
members voted in favor 6-1 for Mr. Gagne. Mr. DiNonno explained that
after that vote, there was some misunderstanding by the board members.
They thought they were voting on the chairmanship, so in Executive Session
on December 20th it was discussed again, at which point it was decided by
the members who were present, that no recommendation FOR or AGAINST,
would be made, they would leave it in the hands of the Town Board. Mrs.
Visconti informed the Board that that she was absent from the December
20th meeting, but at the December 6th meeting, she made a motion, that the
Planning Board make a recommendation to the Town Board, that Mr. Gagne
be re-appointed, there was a second, there was a vote, and it was unanimous
at their meeting. It was determined at that meeting that a letter of
recommendation be sent and none was sent. It was also alleged that the
Planning Board Minutes did not reflect the December 6th vote having been
taken. SUPERVISOR SMITH explained that the reason there was no letter
of recommendation sent to the Town Board, was because of confusion among
the Planning Board members. They thought they were voting for the
Chairmanship. They had another meeting to straighten this out.
COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO said, according to discussion that went on at
the meeting he can't see how such competent people could misunderstand
what they were voting on. It was very clear by the vivacious discussion. To
tell this Board at this point, that there was a misunderstanding, I feel you

are doing yourselves and the Board a disservice. COUNCILMAN BETTINA
wished to know if the Secretary was present the night of the 6th recording
the minutes, and Mr. DiNonno replied that she was.
COUNCILMAN P AOLONI moved to authorize the Planning Board
Secretary, prepare a verbatim transcript of the Minutes of the December 6th
Meeting for the Town Board.
Seconded by Mr. Ruggiero
Motion Unanimously Carried
There was some discussion on the possibility of editing of the Minutes. Mr.
DiNonno stated there was no editing of the Minutes of the meeting in
question, however, the day after the meeting Mr. DiNonno did receive
several phone calls about the vote. At that point he told, Christina not to
send a letter of recommendation until they discussed it. COUNCILMAN
RUGGIERO said if there was a motion made by the Planning Board and it
was a part of Public Record, no one has the authority to strike that from the
record at any time. He wishes to find out why it is not reflected in those
Minutes.

At this time Planning Board Member, Hugo Musto was recognized by the
Board. Mr. Musto explained that at the meeting in question, everyone was
present, and a vote was taken. Mrs. Visconti made a motion, but he does not
remember who seconded it. Mr. Musto began to have second thoughts about
voting for Mr. Gagne. He wasn't being very honest with himself. One person
did speak up (Mr. Parsons). The reason Mr. Musto objects to the
appointment of Mr. Gagne is because he is a civil engineer. We have a civil
engineer (Engineer to the Town, Jay Paggi). It is very disruptive for Mr.
Paggi to come in and give his opinions and recommendations, which we have
not had a problem with for years. Now we have Mr. Gagne. It does not look

good for the Planning Board, or the applicant, when we have two differences
of opinion, because there are two engineers in the same room. There is a
conflict. We have an Engineer that we pay, for recommendations and
suggestions. Mr. Musto explained he should have voted Nay, but the vote
came up so fast, that he did not expect it. For chairman, yes.
COUNCILMAN BETTINA moved to adjourn the Reorganizational Meeting,
seconded by Mr. Ruggiero, and unanimously carried.
The Reorganizational Meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
