Adopted
The Board will set up the finalization of the other particulars that they have discussed at
the 2nd Town Board meeting.
Judge Situation
The Board ' s general consensus was to appoint a Justice.
Ms . Thomas moved, seconded by Ms . Tyler the following :
Whereas historically the Town of Ulysses has functioned with two justices until Justice
Christine Springer passed away in December 2007 ; and
Whereas having two justices assures better accessibility for law enforcement officers
when the needs arise; and
Whereas having access to only one justice is a concern to key law enforcement officers
who cover the Town of Ulysses which includes the Village of Trumansburg; and
Whereas the Town of Ulysses was approached by three well-qualified candidates for the
justice position who were then interviewed by the Town Board; and
Whereas appointing a new justice will allow plaintiffs some flexibility as to when they
appear in court since any of the potential justices have indicated they will hold court in
the evening to complement Justice Rector' s court which is held during the day; and
Whereas training for the justice position begins in late March; and
Whereas appointing a justice prior to the elections will allow citizens to observe his
performance and make a well-educated decision at election time;
Therefore, be it hereby resolved that the Ulysses Town Board will appoint Thomas
Schlee as Justice for the Town of Ulysses for the period of March 12 , 2008 until
December 31 , 2008 .
