White Creek board settles lawsuit and updates dog policy
White Creek Town Board settled a long running lawsuit for 400 honoring a claim that runoff damaged a nursery. The board revised stray dog procedures requiring Windcrest Kennels to advertise found dogs for a week before destruction and planned postings in local papers and on new town bulletin boards. A decision on 11 000 in revenue sharing funds was postponed until February. The panel also reappointed town officials and agreed to follow the open meeting law. Nolan sought funding to build a town office near the garage and to buy highway equipment. He noted a public hearing may not be required for the 11 000 due to pre law allocation.
