The Board of Trustees referred correspondence on leaf blower regulations to the Conservation Advisory Council with detailed guidance, re-adopted a home rule request for school speed zone cameras, and discussed a $4.5 million New York Forward grant application targeting the South Riverside corridor.

The Planning Board unanimously approved a wetlands activity permit, building envelope modification, and minor site plan for an accessory dwelling unit at 129 Scenic Drive West.
