          Finally Ms. Brylinski advised the Board that if there are no changes to the current policies which they were previously furnished for their review, they must re-adopt the SCFC’s Investment Policy, Procurement Policy and Disposition of Real Property Policy.  Mr. Barbuti advised that in his capacity as Supervisor for the Town of Liberty he recently received information raising the amount for bids regarding the Procurement Policy and he wondered if it was the same for the IDA.  Ms. Brylinski is to look into the matter.  The Board unanimously re-adopted the aforementioned policies. 

          The Board chose not to discuss the Board Self Evaluation Forms.
