Trustee urges adoption of Climate Action Plan and creation of Green Fund; board to seek attorney review
Summary
Trustee Murphy and Climate Smart Task Force member Bill Mancini asked the board to adopt the Climate Action Plan and establish a Green Fund reserve within the annual budget for village green projects; Clerk/Treasurer will ask the village attorney about SEQR and drafting language specifying fund use.
Trustee Quinn Murphy presented a request from the Climate Smart Task Force to pass a Climate Action Plan and to create a Green Fund reserve within the village budget. Bill Mancini provided a sign and requested the board designate funds for green village projects; Clerk/Treasurer Nicole Heeder said she would ask the village attorney to review the resolution and SEQR implications and suggested reserve-account language restricting use to green projects could be drafted.
Trustee Murphy and others discussed whether the reserve should be narrowly earmarked for NYSERDA projects or left flexible for other green initiatives. Clerk Heeder noted a motion will be needed before May 31 to move funds into the proposed reserve and that SEQR questions should be clarified with counsel.
