Public Access to Documents Being Considered by Public Bodies |
|
A new law has recently gone into effect in New York State,
requiring Public Bodies to make records (documents) discussed
during meetings available to the public.
The Town of Danby has a trial implementation of this law
on its
web site.
As always, Town Board meeting agendae can
be viewed via links on the
Town Board page
of the web site. The
13-Feb-2012 Agenda
contains several links to documents scheduled to be discussed.
In addition to viewing (and, if you prefer and if you have
the paper and ink handy, printing) the information at home, you
can bring a laptop computer to the Town Hall meeting room and
"read along" using the room's wireless network. If you don't
have a laptop handy, two public access computers are available
in the room.

Dogs Must Be Licensed; Dog Enumeration; Fee Schedule |
|
Attention all dog owners in the Town of Danby
Every dog over the age of four months, owned or harbored
in New York State for longer than 30 days, must be registered
and licensed in the town where they are harbored. A renewal
license must be purchased every year.
The Town of Danby is conducting a door-to-door dog
enumeration. If you have a licensed dog, you will need to
show its license (or signed renewal form) and a current rabies
certificate. Please have them available.
If any unlicensed dogs are found, you will be required to
obtain a license for each one and a $5 penalty fee will be added to
the regular licensing fee. In addition, if the dog's license has
lapsed (not renewed for more than a year), back fees will be collected.
This is required by NY State Law.
The current dog licensing fees are:
| Category | Annual Fee |
|---|
| Spayed/Neutered | $12 |
| Unspayed/Unneutered | $20 |
A valid Rabies Certificate is required to register your dog.
A certificate of proof of spaying or neutering is required to
qualify for the reduced fee for Spayed/Neutered dogs.
You may obtain a license for your dog(s) at the
Town Clerk's
office.

Some concerns may be addressed directly to:
You have a right to see public records!
The Freedom of Information Law, which took effect
on September 1, 1974, gives you the right of access
to certain public records.
The Danby Town Board has adopted regulations governing
when, where, and how you can see public records. The
regulations can be seen at all places where records are kept.
According to these regulations, records can be seen and copied
at the Town Clerk's Office and the Town Justice Court, both located
in the Danby Town Hall. You may have to fill out a
Request for Information
form.
There is a charge of $1 per request, and copies of documents
are $0.25/page, for standard page size. The fee for copies of the
Town of Danby Zoning Ordinance is $7; copies of the Subdivision
Regulations are $2.
The following officials will help you to exercise your
right to access: the Town Clerk,
the Town Supervisor,
and the Town Justices.
If you are denied access to a record, you may appeal to
the Danby Town Board.
