Village Clerk Karge indicated that to aid in the production of the minutes, speakers need to identify themselves and Board members making or seconding motions need to do them in a loud voice so they can be heard on the tape. RULES FOR DISCUSSION OF KOLB STATEMENT (Attached) Attorney Kenneth Stenger, filling in for Attorney Lou Vigliotti who was out of the state, described rules to facilitate the discussion for which so many had come. (Attorney Stenger had worked out these rules with Tr. Consentino and Mayor Lawrence.) These rules were put in place to get all points of view on the record and still allow time to process the regular agenda. Attorney Stenger informed the Board that they had two options to procedurally handle this item: the topic could be taken out of order on the agenda or it could be handled in Executive Session. It was the unanimous decision of the Board to take this item out of order in a public session. The rules were: · Mr. George Kolb would be allowed 10 minutes to read his statement. · Assembly members will be recognized by Village Clerk Karge to make individual two minute statements. · Twenty minutes will be allowed for comments from the assembly board_030514 Page 1 of 11 06/12/03
