Eric Gustafson, the town attorney, presented proposed edits to the Local Law the town recently adopted on battery energy storage systems (BESS) and advised the board to review the draft changes and schedule a public hearing on the amendments. The recommendation was made during the June 10 meeting; the board did not take a final vote on the amendments at that session.
The proposed changes were described by Gustafson as amendments to the recently adopted local law; no specific amendment language or effective dates were read into the record. The board instructed staff to circulate the proposed changes for review and to set a public hearing at a later date so that residents can comment before any formal adoption.
