2. Additions/Deletions to Agenda
2.1. Revisit Levels of Operation
3. Privilege of the Floor
3.1. Captain Charlie H Tilton, US Navy Reserve Retired, Resident: Wanted to note that
he and Peter Moore started a process where all veterans in TC can get free rides
on Gadabout to any place in the county for any reason between gam and Spm.
Second to note as a part of that DAV service, received a health alert for COVID-1.9
for all vets going to the VA hospital in Syracuse. The level is high, meaning that
masking is required on transportation and in
3.2. Ted Crane, Resident: Was distressed by the increasing authoritarianism by the
Town Board in that there is not enough trust for people to mute/unmute
themselves. This would not be duplicated in the Town Hall. Commenting on the
meeting held last week. There were people who arrived who refused to follow the
rules, the person who is in charge remained silent; a person not in the room called
the police which is uncalled for —no one but the chair/supervisor is able to call the
police.
