Town Of Avon Regular Meeting
The meeting commenced with a discussion regarding a potential battery energy storage application proposed by Carson Power at 2926 Lakeville Road, including details on system design, fire safety protocols, and necessary infrastructure upgrades to be paid by the developer. A public hearing was held concerning a proposed local law to temporarily prohibit large-scale battery energy storage system installations for up to six months. Following discussion and public comment, the Board voted to close the public hearing and take no action on the moratorium at that time. Other actions included accepting various monthly reports, accepting the resignation of a Planning Board member, re-appointing members to the Zoning Board of Appeals and Planning Board, amending the compensation schedule for an employee upon CDL licensing, and accepting abstract claims for payment across several town funds. Discussion also covered updates to the Employee Handbook, upcoming Planning Board vacancy interviews, and reports from Engineering, Highway/Water, Code Enforcement, and the Attorney.
