COMING SOON TO A WEBSITE NEAR YOU?

Hi again!  I attended the latest agritourism meeting, this one on December 4th, where I was one of two members of the public.  No new faces. Drop on by sometime!

The next meetings are Wednesday, December 11th, and Wednesday, December 18th.  The task force will then take a break for two weeks over the holidays, picking up again in January.

I brought up at the end of their meeting that the minutes of their meetings do not appear to be on the website. This, it turns out, is because they have not been submitted to date.  In the past, other task forces have posted all their approved minutes in a timely fashion on the Eureka website for the public's convenience and information.  Indeed, one member of this committee noted that there is nothing at all on the website explaining about the agritourism task force!  

Thankfully, at least this blog has been attempting to alert you to the matter!  I can only expect your Town Board to do something to remedy this at their meeting this Monday, December 9th, when a request is made to post the minutes so as to inform you.  Be aware that the agritourism open house is slated for this upcoming Thursday, December 12th, at the Town Hall from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The minutes posting on the website will be just a couple of days ahead of that function.  Please read the minutes and get caught up on what has been going on. This will allow you to get more out of, and to contribute more to, the open house discussion.

At the open house, you will be asked for feedback on the definition, particular uses and their regulation, and any other comments you might have.  This is a use that will affect us all.  It can certainly be a benefit to the Township, but it has to be done properly.  Your input is important in this effort. Mark you calendar!
