Multiple residents at the Feb. 13 meeting urged the Select Board to clarify ATV ballot language and expand opportunities for public comment, citing past votes and safety concerns. Board members noted enforcement and legal limits but did not change the warning.
At the Town of Danby Select Board meeting on Feb. 13, 2025, several residents urged clearer ballot wording and more transparent handling of an ATV ordinance question. Chris Hardaway asked whether additional business would be discussed and raised the ATV item; Bill Payne reminded the board that the ATV question "was voted down in 2022." Annette Smith said she "does not feel it is being run properly when items are brought up during new and old business," and asked for more opportunities to speak during meetings.
Residents also raised safety concerns. Lynn Lawson described instances of unsafe ATV operation near her property, saying riders "were not operating safely" and that use "could have caused an accident." Michelle Bushee asked whether Deputy Cram could address enforcement options. The board did not adopt new language or take formal action on the ATV question at the meeting, but the comments were recorded for future consideration.
