Whereas, at its ______, 2017 meeting, the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses discussed a proposed local law that would provide partial tax exemptions for residential housing on land owned by housing trusts, and set a public hearing for ______, 2017 at___ p.m. to receive public comments on the proposed local law; and

Whereas, proper notice of a public hearing was duly advertised in the Ithaca Journal and said public hearing was duly held on ______, 2017 at the Town Hall of the Town of Ulysses and all parties in attendance were permitted an opportunity to speak on behalf of or in opposition to said proposed local law, or any part thereof; and
