IIIPRESENTATION - Planned Expansion Group re Town Center Renovation
Supervisor Goldsmith noted that it was a pleasure for him to present the
Planned Expansion Group, Inc. , so they can advise us of the results of
their planning work with respect to the proposed renovations to the Town
Center.
At this time, Ken Narva, representing the Group, spoke at length and pre-
' sented slides. Thereafter, while responding to questions, the Group
stated that, in their opinion, the cost for the proposed renovations as
outlined would be approximately 31/2 million dollars, and that, in their
opinion, the cost of a new building would be in excess of 5 million
dollars.
The Supervisor suggested that it would be in order to have a committee
to study the recommendations presented by the Planned Expansion Group,
Inc. , and to, in turn, recommend to the Town Board what action should
be taken. He further stated that since the new Board will be interact-
ing with said study committee, it would be proper for that Board to ap-
point such a committee, thus this matter should be left up to the new
Supervisor and Town Board.
At this time, the order of the Agenda was changed, and Item #2 under
NEW BUSINESS was taken up.

In response to the Supervisor's request, Town Administrator Stephen
Altieri outlined the changes made in the Budget document since the

OLD BUSINESS
1. Authorization - Perritano Litigation
Supervisor Goldsmith stated that a gentleman had sought to intervene
in the Perritano litigation by means of a motion to prevent payment
of attorney fees, and that his motion was denied in Federal Court.
Mr. Goldsmith went on to say that subsequently a motion was filed by
order to show cause in the State Court, and although the order to show
cause did not contain a stay preventing the Town from making payment,
it seemed fair for the Town to refrain from making any payment on be-
half of individual defendants until the motion is heard. He noted,
however, that since the motion is not directed at prohibiting payment
of the fees on behalf of the Town, he inquired as to the Board's
pleasure in authorizing payment of the Town's share of the fees.
Some discussion followed during which Councilman Amlicke stated that
he would prefer to see updated bills, and Councilwoman Silverstone
questioned how the Town's portion would be separated out and why no
money has been put into the 1984 budget relative to the legal fees of
this case.
Thereafter, since no second was made to Councilman McMillan's motion,
no action was taken on this matter.
NOT ON AGENDA
Supervisor Goldsmith presented a resolution of tribute and expressed
his sentiments about his association with Mr. McMillan. Mr. McMillan
expressioned his appreciation and reflected on his tenure on the Board.
At this time, Councilman Bloom presented a resolution of tribute and
spoke of the public service and dedication of Mr. Goldsmith.
Following further comments by Assemblyman John Perone, it was by accla-
mation that both resolutions were ordered entered into the record of
this meeting.
Supervisor Goldsmith and the Board extended best wishes to James J.
Johnston who also was retiring at the end of this year and attending
his last meeting as Town Attorney.
