Summary

Advisory boards gave brief reports: Historic Preservation proposed standardized signage with QR codes; Conservation board moved to advance adoption of the Natural Resources Inventory; the tech board described countywide fiber work and the Greenlight residential rollout; several committees previewed summer events and the Paddles Up festival.

Several advisory groups used the roundtable portion of the meeting to update the panel on ongoing projects and community events.

Historic Preservation said it is preparing standardized signs and QR‑linked pages for cupolas, parks and the Nike base site to ensure consistent messaging. A member suggested hosting one permanent QR landing page on the town website to avoid dead links; staff agreed to recommend using direct site URLs rather than short‑lived third‑party QR hosts.

The Conservation board reported it had submitted a draft resolution to adopt the Natural Resources Inventory (NRI) and that the committee plans public meetings as part of an eventual open‑space plan and an RFP process for funding. The NRI and map layers are now posted on the town website, and the conservation board is planning outreach and possible promotion at spring and summer events.

The tech board said Greenlight residential fiber is coming and that the town is working with Erie Net to connect municipal buildings; the fire company and 911 communications are part of that county program. Several advisory boards noted ongoing event planning including Paddles Up (scheduled for July) and proposed signature events to promote economic development.

Why it matters: Collectively these items reflect ongoing investments in town infrastructure, public outreach and placemaking that underpin later land‑use decisions and also create opportunities for grant funding and volunteer engagement.
