Art Pundt sent me this detailed time line of events, thanks Art!
March 1, 2006:
Meeting of Planning and Town Board officials to discuss amending the zoning law in order to guide wind power development. The meeting was lead by PBC Edsall in the Town Supervisor’s office. There was a quorum of Town Board members (e.g., Rienbeck, Mason, and Schneider [perhaps Orvis, too). Also, Michael Bourcy, Jefferson County Planning Department, attended providing maps and advice on the review of setback options. Others in attendance included landowners with lease agreements. Since the meeting was never publicized, there was no general public attendance. Also, there was no public notice, the meetings where held in Town offices, no minutes where taken. Edsall has been heard by several witnesses in a TB meeting as even calling these “secret” meetings. One invited attendee from the community became uncomfortable with this process and wrote an official letter submitted to the Town Board of his concerns. We have other witnesses who inadvertently walked in on these meetings. One individual gave a deposition to a previous WPEG attorney about observations at these meetings.
