A standing room only audience was in attendance at the Brant Town Board Meeting held on September 5. 2000. They were here to let the Board know that they did not want a landfill to come to Brant. The Board listened to its constituency and unanimously passed two resoluions, one sponsored by boardmember Martin Rosiak and one by Boardmember Ellen Bowman, that eliminated the possibility of a landfill coming to Brant at this time.
"This Town Board is anti-landfill" said Council member Rosiek, "It will be changed every two years and we could readdress this issue at that time." He suggested planning for that possibility within the development of the Town's new Master Plan. The old plan was finished in 1971. This year work on a new Master Plan will get underway.
When asked why the Board would even begin to look at or consider a proposal of this sort, it was explained that a good govemment/supervisor will not dismiss anything out of hand but rather will look at everything and careflilly weigh the merits of each idea before deciding what is in the best interests of the Town and its residents, now and in the future.
