Climate Smart education resolution tabled after board seeks clearer social-media and website content
Summary
Resolution #32, which would adopt NYS Climate Smart Communities Pledge Element 9 and partner with Cornell Cooperative Extension Ulster County on a webpage and up to 12 social media posts, was tabled after members requested more specific content for posts and the town website.
The Town Board discussed Resolution #32, which would commit the town to adopt NYS Climate Smart Communities Pledge Element 9 (Climate Change Education and Engagement) and to partner with Cornell Cooperative Extension Ulster County to develop a webpage and host up to 12 social media posts. Council members asked for more specific language about the content of website and social-media posts, and Supervisor Corcoran moved to table the resolution; the motion carried 5–0.
Conservation Advisory Committee Chair Mici Simonofsky — who had requested the resolution be added to the agenda — told the board that website and social posts would be educational and focus on items such as composting and plantings. The CAC report included a recommended partnership with the Cornell Cooperative Extension to support community education and engagement.
