Seconded by Mr. McCluskey
Motion Unanimously Carried
MRS. PAINO requested that to clarify the situation regarding the windows, the
following be included in these minutes:
"A change order request was received from Hayward and Pakan relating to the
type of windows for the new Town Hall.
Mrs. Paino preferred to table this matter for additional information from the
architect on a cost analysis of the two types of windows to determine if the
proposed ones were of comparable value and quality. Although Mr. Kane stated
that there would he no additional charge to the Town, Mrs. Paino pointed out
that the new windows could be less expensive and result in a savings to the Town
and the taxpayers. She was also interested in a comparison of the proposed
window and the one originally specified regarding insulation, size and
construction. Another concern was whether an employee could safely exit through
these windows in case of fire since only the lower portion of the window opened.
In view of the fact that the windows would not be installed until July of 1985,
she requested the Town Board to defer action on the change order until this
information was compiled by Hayward and Pakan and forwarded to the Board for
their review.
Mrs. Ballard commented that these items were addressed by Mr. Kane and she had
no problem with approving the change order at this time.
Mrs. Paino moved to table action on the chang~ order request for further
information from Hayward and Pakan.
Motion Failed for Lack of a Second

real property tax exemptions for veterans whereby veterans, in particular-
those who served in the active military, naval or air service in hostilities
known as the Vietnam War would pay reduced real property taxes; and
WHEREAS, the State has furnished no assessment of the financial impact upon
the municipalities should they fail to "opt out" of this pro~ram, and
WHEREAS, this program provides no benefits for the many veterans who rent
property or who do not own their own homes; and
WHEREAS, this program does not provide benefits comparable to those given
to veterans who served in other eras and conflicts; and
WHEREAS, the State Legislature has failed to enact a number of pieces of
pending legistation conferring benefits on all veterans, including eductional,
health, and job training benefits, now therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that this Town Board h~reby urges the State Legislatur~ to consider
the enactment of a veterans income tax credit to replace existing legislat40n
granting certain exemptions from-real property taxes; said income tax credit to
include veterans who served in all wars with American involvement, and be it

certified copies of this resolution to Governor Mario M. Cuomo, Senator Jay P.
