rhinecliff.org will be re-launching with many new features and a much improved graphical interface. One feature we have been planning over the last few months is the ability to provide the community with a complete video stream of every Town Meeting. We think this is the future of every community around the country as it harnesses the best features of current web technology to keep the community informed and the government open and accessable. While we are not ready to launch the new rhinecliff.org, our automated video encoding and compressing is now working! We will endeavor to post every Town Meeting within 7-10 days of the meeting. These meetings will be archived to make them available to everyone at anytime. We want to thank PANDA for providing the broadcasts over Time Warner cable channel 23.

This is the Monday, September 17th meeting. The town board met in public session to discuss the draft zoning modifications with its consultants and volunteer leadership. No public comment took place during these sessions. This was "in order to complete the work of the town board in preparing the various documents -- zoning code in this case -- for public distribution and to launch the SEQRA and public review and comment phase of this process."
