AGENDA
The purpose of the Special Meeting was to approve proposed ballot language relative to the creation of a
permanent Community Reinvestment Fund and adhere to the required timeline for placing it on the
November 7, 2000 ballot. The agenda was expanded to include consideration of whether or not EPURA
should participate financially in the replacement of vandalized “Places in Time” plaques.
CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED BALLOT LANGUAGE RELATIVE TO CREATION OF A
PERMANENT COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT FUND
Executive Director Smith summarized the need for approval of the proposed ballot language and read
Resolution No. 287, drafted to approve the ballot language prepared by the Town Attorney and approved
by the Town Board of Trustees. It was moved by Commissioner Wasson and seconded by Commissioner
Henderson that Resolution No. 287 be approved. Motion passed unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF EPURA FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION TOWARD REPLACEMENT OF
VANDALIZED PLACES IN TIME PLAQUES
Executive Director Smith summarized the background of EPURA participation in the implementation of
the Places in Time plaques. The real issue was determined to be policy and precedent rather than the
relatively minor amount of money involved. Commissioner Wasson referred back to the previous
discussion involving transferring EPURA tax Increment monies to the Community Reinvestment Fund,
which amounts to more dollars per year than EPURA retains annually for EPURA projects. It was the
consensus of the Board that endeavors such as this be financed from Town resources, especially in view of
anticipated major demands on EPURA resources when implementation of the Westward Walkway and
Tallant Park improvements begins. |I
