allow the Wilcox’s to keep a fence on the village right of way. (see below)
Previous motion made at the meeting held 10-11-07 – “Motion by Kenyon seconded
by Coll to allow the Wilcox’s to keep the fence within the right-of-way of the
village on Washington Street at their residence at 725 Washington. Ayes –
Kenyon, Moore, Coll, J Dunham, Harwood, Holden. Nays – F Dunham. Absent – none.

rescind. Mike Kenyon was not willing to make that motion. Clerk will look into
the clarification of the rules on this for the next meeting. Rescind request is
to be tabled.
