Energy efficiency improvement project RFP
The town will seek proposals from firms to find ways to cut its energy use — not to buy power. Board members stressed careful vetting of any energy service company after past bad experiences elsewhere.
Deer management program expansion
The town, county, and Village of Fayetteville will run the joint deer damage management program one more year, with a town-wide plan planned for 2027.
DEC freshwater wetland mapping changes
New state wetland mapping triggered review requirements for two of the three applications. Applicants must obtain DEC jurisdictional determinations or permits where the new mapping applies.

The board backed a state farmland protection grant for the Spicer Farm and a CNY Land Trust climate resiliency grant that could create a new public nature preserve on Limestone Creek.
Landfill monitoring
The town renewed landfill monitoring services with Miller Engineering at $39,000, continuing environmental oversight of the former landfill site.
