The board authorized Malak to review amendments made in the 1976 zoning ordinance to the original 1966 ordinance, which were later determined to be have been done incorrectly. It is possible that “citizens suf- fered for 20 years, for some- thing that was done improper- ly,” said Ed Chesnovitch. He was on the committee that drafted the amendments, and wanted to know why it wasn’t proper. Malak has two months to review the documents. He will report his finding at the July meeting, if he is not ready by June. The supervisors also voted on contracts for the material bids.

Also on the agenda for next meeting is further discussion on the Agriculture Security Act. Supervisor Al Fox asked that it be finished up in the next few months because it has been nearly complete for several months. Andrew Kasko, Chair- man of the Agricultural Securi- ty Act committee, said he was waiting to hear if there were any problems thus far. None of the supervisors had any. Wilkes suggested that supervisors, with Andrew Sholtis, the Zon- ing Officer, check on the 100 properties listed to be sure that they are in fact being used for agricultural reasons, before the June 2 meeting.
