Perth board tables pro-housing resolutions after resident questions
Summary
Perth Town Board postponed two pro-housing actions after a resident requested more information; the board agreed to delay action to allow public review and additional meetings.
Supervisor Fagan and the Town Board on April 3 delayed action on two pro-housing items after a resident raised questions during public comment.
Resident Theresa DaBiere Craig thanked Councilman Joe Priamo for placing veterans' flags around town and expressed concern about a proposed Pro-Housing Community designation, asking for more information. After discussion, the board moved to postpone consideration. "BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Perth tables a discussion on Resolution #50 to a later date so residents can have more time to look over the resolution and ask questions about it," the minutes record.
The two items tabled were Resolution #50 (authorize the supervisor to sign a pro-housing letter of intent) and Resolution #51 (adopt a Pro-Housing Communities resolution). Both votes were recorded as unanimous among those present. Council members said the postponement was intended to allow additional public review and for information about the proposal to be posted on the town website and discussed at a later meeting.
The board did not vote on the merits of the pro-housing measures April 3; the items will return to a future agenda after staff posts the documents and a date is announced.
