Approval of the Minutes

Old Business:

1.     Drone policy needs to be created.  Suna to collect information to bring to first meeting. Sub-committee being organized to create policy. All agreed there is a need for a policy and Suna has started a list of employees who have contacted her with interest in collaborating on creating one. Susan has contacted the group and a meeting has been scheduled in early December to discuss.  OPEN.

 

2.     Tim Corbitt raised concern students have over crosswalk safety from campus to Price Chopper; there is not a crosswalk from upper East Main until the intersection of SR 310/SR 68 and US 11. Pat Gagnon to discuss with Chief James Santimaw; Canton PD.  Since this is a State Road Village of Canton would have to make request from NYSDOT which they have done 2x already. Letter of support to Buildings & Grounds Committee which will hopefully move on to the Village’s Complete Streets Committee and/or Master Trails Committee for review and action. OPEN.

 

3.     NYS Fire Inspections – ongoing.
