Ellicottville Town Board: June Meeting Notes
Ellicottville Town Board: Rodeo Requests Noise Permit; Board Approves Inter-Municipal Water & Sewer System Agreement; Town Hall Door Project Delayed
The Town Board of Ellicottville held their regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, June 18th to review the most current events and agenda. Starting off the evening, the Ellicottville Championship Rodeo organization requested a noise permit from the Town until 1:00 am for each night of the event, running from July 3rd through July 6th. They also requested the Town’s support in the form of an official letter that would show that there is no objection from the Town for the Rodeo’s application for a temporary beer and wine permit. The Town agreed to both requests and will issue the noise permit as well as a letter from the Town Clerk.
