Before the Vote was taken Councilman Penny reviewed the Ad Hoc Committee's report of last October and their recommendations for the Youth Board. Mrs. Judith Penny has offered to work with the Board and Judy Miller, who works in Family Court has notified the Town Board that she is interested in serving on this Committee.

 

THE RESOLUTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED.

 

At this time Supervisor Woodard 1) congratulated Dr. Costa on the opening of his health facility on Powers Rd. which has been completed two months ahead of schedule. The Town Board will present Dr. Costa with a "Key to Orchard Park" for his office, and 2) con­gratulated the Buffalo Bills on being #1, wished them well on the Saturday game, but re­gardless of the outcome, they will still be #1 with Orchard Park.

 

Members of the Town Board reported they are in favor of the repeal of tax on home heating fuel bills as Town Governments should not be supported or reliant on this type of revenue a portion of monies returned to the Town Government from taxes. All members were in favor of      our County Legislator Robert Meier being made aware of the Town Board's decision in this matter.
