He said at the advice of counsel, the Village has drafted a written resolution granting the permit to ExteNet. He said it has been distributed to all Trustees, consultants, and lawyers. Trustee Reim asked if the resolution was too long. Mr. Spolzino, counsel for the Village, stated that the resolution spells out the law and the process by which the Board reviewed the special permit application. He said the Board’s decisions are supported by evidence in the record. Trustee Marty asked if ExteNet could expand on the nodes installed in the Village of Pelham. Mr. Spolzino responded that ExteNet can make repairs to maintain their equipment but they cannot make any additions without going before the Board of Trustees for a new special permit. Mayor Cassidy added that this is a hypothetical case because there are no new special permit applications that the Board is currently aware of at this time. The Board made some revisions to the language in the resolution related to Pelham Code language and the December 20th deadline. A motion was made by Trustee Mutti and seconded by Trustee Reim to approve the resolution. The vote was approved by a vote of six in favor, Trustee Kagan was opposed. Item #8– Reports and Other Business None Item #9– Recurring Items None Item #10– Adjournment to Executive Session (if needed) A motion was made by Trustee Marty with a second by Trustee Mutti to adjourn the Board meeting at 5:45 pm at which time the Board would adjourn for the evening.
