[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Woodbury 6-18-2015 by L.L. No. 3-2015[1]. Amendments noted where applicable.]

Editor's Note: This local law also repealed former Ch. 16, Beautification Commission, adopted 4-7-1988 by L.L. No. 7-1988.
The Town of Woodbury is one of the most beautiful municipalities in the State of New York. Within the Town's borders are the Ramapo Mountains, Schunnemunk Mountains, West Point Reservation, Harriman State Park and other amenities which make the Town a most attractive place to live and to work. With the tremendous construction in the Town of residential, commercial and industrial facilities, it is apparent to the Town Board that steps must be taken to preserve the pristine character of the Town. Due to the many responsibilities that the Town Board has, it has become increasingly apparent that the Town Board should create a committee whose sole function is to advise the Town Board on ways of maintaining the beauty of the Town.
This volunteer committee will function under the auspices of the Buildings/Grounds Department.
A. 
The Town Board shall appoint seven residents of Woodbury to serve as an Executive Board for the Beautification Committee. Each individual will serve a seven-year term with one member's term expiring each year. The initial terms of appointment shall be staggered such that one member will be appointed for a term of seven years; one member appointed for a term of six years; one member appointed for a term of five years; one member appointed for a term of four years; one member for a term of three years; one member for a term of two years; and one member for a term of one year. All subsequent terms shall be for a period of seven years.
B. 
The Executive Board shall designate, annually in January, one of its members to serve as Chairperson and one to serve as Secretary/Treasurer. Both will serve in this capacity without compensation.
C. 
In addition to the Executive Board, any and all residents of the Town of Woodbury are able to volunteer to assist the Executive Board in completing the goals it sets each year.
The Executive Board is required to meet no less than eight times per year. Minutes of each meeting are to be filed with the Town Clerk for official filing within two weeks of the meeting being held. A copy of the minutes shall also be provided to the Buildings/Grounds Superintendent.
The Committee's Executive Board shall submit an annual report to the Buildings/ Grounds Superintendent and Town Clerk in August of each year outlining its activities during the past year, including any instituted programs, objectives, goals and recommendations made to the Town Board.
