Meeting: Milo town board met for approximately 45 minutes Feb. 17 followed by an executive session to discuss personnel matters lasting approximately five minutes.
Attendance: All council members were present. Four members of the public were in the audience.
Action: The board voted to proceed with Grievance Day on the fourth Tuesday in May. Last year the date was changed due to assessor Randy Deal’s schedule. This was not an issue this year.

Several county municipalities are studying this type of change which would provide compensation for expenditures for items associated with large  developments, such as engineering fees.
• The proposed furnace law was to be sent to the town and county planning boards and the State Environmental Quality Review work begun.

Sixty percent of the available recreation funds are awarded to the Village of Penn Yan and 40 percent to the village of Dundee. The town needs figures from the Yates County Youth Bureau to assist in determining recreation funding. Town clerk Patricia Christensen  said there is only $200 in the town budget for recreation.
