Trustee Barker stated it would be appropriate for the Board to determine if EPURA was doing what was originally intended and moved the Board of Trustees take whatever steps necessary to review and amend (if necessary) the URA Plan. Trustee Barker added his intent was not to "do away" with URA; however, it was time to seek public comment. Trustee Habecker seconded the motion. Trustee Aldrich urged a "study session" be scheduled to study the financial and legal ramifications of any revisions to the URA Plan prior to a vote. Mayor Dannels advised the URA Commissioners were an "appointed" board. The Authority operates under the direction of the Board of Trustees. By adoption of the URA Plan in 1983, EPURA was given authority to implement the Plan.

Trustee Habecker requested Town Attorney White provide a legal opinion as to the procedure to be followed if the issues were open for review. Trustee Habecker added, the Board was making an effort to lesson the burden on as many people as possible. The owner of the Boyd Property did not cooperate with URA, thus condemnation was the only alternative available at the time. Mayor Dannels advised the next Town Board meeting will be held Tuesday, December 16, 1986. Newly -elected State Representative John Irwin will be attending this meeting. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. Mayor Town Clerk
