Summary

The committee agreed to work with the Wyoming County Wildlife Federation to craft a county-specific resolution supporting forest and wildlife protections and opposing NY Senate Bill S.4408.A and Assembly Bill A.10483A; Board Clerk C. Ketchum will circulate a draft before the June 9 Board meeting.

Representatives of the Wyoming County Wildlife Federation presented a resolution supporting protection of New York forests and wildlife and opposing NY Senate Bill S.4408.A and Assembly Bill A.10483A. The committee recorded that Wyoming County has no designated reforestation areas and asked the Board Clerk, C. Ketchum, to work with the federation to prepare a Wyoming County version of an Allegany County resolution.

The minutes name D. Kolankowski and B. Kraczyk as the federation’s presenters and show Supervisor Smith moved the action. The committee carried the item with five ayes and two absences (Merrill, Rudgers). The meeting record notes a draft will be shared with committee members prior to the June 9 Board of Supervisors meeting for final consideration.

The minutes include text from Allegany County’s resolution describing authority for interconnection agreements or easements across reforestation areas; the committee chose to adapt that language for Wyoming County even though minutes state there are no reforestation areas in the county.
