Chili board holds public hearing on opt-out of energy-system tax exemptions; no comments
Summary
At a Nov. 12 public hearing, the Chili Town Board considered a proposed 2025 local law to opt out of property-tax exemptions for solar, wind, farm-waste and other energy systems; the hearing drew no public comment and was closed the same evening.
The Chili Town Board opened a public hearing on Nov. 12 for a proposed local law of 2025 that would opt the town out of certain property-tax exemptions for solar, wind, farm-waste and other energy systems. Supervisor Dunning announced the hearing and invited public comment; no one stepped forward to speak and the chair closed the hearing.
The transcript records the board reading the purpose of the hearing and inviting speakers to state their name and address for the record. "Is there anyone here that would like to speak at the public hearing? Seeing none, I will close the public hearing and move on," Supervisor Dunning said.
Because no members of the public offered comment during the hearing, there is no public testimony recorded for or against the proposed local law in the meeting transcript. The board did not vote on that local law during the Nov. 12 meeting; the hearing was informational and part of the formal process required for local-law consideration.
Next steps for the proposal are not specified in the transcript. Interested residents seeking more detail or future meeting dates to follow the ordinance process should consult town clerk records for public notices and scheduling.
