Dear Mr. Hall:

I am in receipt of your letters dated October 2, 2006 and November 29, 2006, addressed to the Town of Cohocton Board of Ethics.

Pursuant to Article III, Section 2 of Local Law No. 1 of 1970 of the Town of Cohocton, the Town Board of Ethics may render advisory opinions to officers and employees of the Town. See also General Municipal Law § 808. Article III Section 2 of Local Law No. 1 of 1970 also requires that such opinions be held confidential by authorized persons and agencies of the Town.

You may want to contact your attorney or the New York State Department of State, Division of Local Governments concerning the remainder of the issues identified in the October 2, 2006 and November 29, 2006 letters.
