A Special Meeting was held to amend a resolution for Home Rule Legislation, for a
Special Parking District in the Washington Square Area.
Mr. Altieri explained that the original paperwork that was sent to the State
Legislature, stated that an Amendment to Town Law was being requested but
should have instead stated that an Amendment to State Law be requested.
Therefore, the Board is being asked to resubmit the Home Rule Legislation paper
work reflecting this correction. The Board will need to resubmit a new resolution.
