Scheffler, Supervisor Crystal Young, Councilperson Randy N. Jackson, Councilperson Sheldon C. Clark, Councilperson April L. Scheffler, Town Clerk Francis Casullo, Attorney for the Town Absent: Richard Gamel, Councilperson Also present: Lance Coit, Tim Phelps, Jenny Rood, Kim Becker, Doug VanBenschoten, Michael Perkins, Tom Jacobs, Andrew Sullivan, Jeff Lucas, Eric Satterly, Dick Slocum, Steve Simons, Kris Boyes, Gretchen Henry, Martin Henry, Ben Nelson, Glenn Morey, Bob Fouts, Sharon Fouts, Rosemarie Tucker, Elizabeth Conger, Mack Rankin, Ellard Keister, Jennifer Keister, Brian Weir, Josh Barron, Mick Smith, Mike Neville, Scott Metcalf, Joe Graham, Pat O'Neill, Dave Boyes, Rick Neville, Sr., Rod Mott. Supervisor Scheffler - We're here this afternoon to possibly appoint a Highway Superintendent. Attorney Casullo - I think that if you make the appointment today, the person will have to sign their oath within 30 days. They could do it tomorrow or they could do it on day 29. It is possible, if the person needs time to finish up his employment elsewhere, as long as he is doing responsibilities to a degree over here, like doing things at night, making sure he's in contact with the crew, yes you can do that. If you choose not to make an appointment today, your Band-Aid approach for the time being would be probably at your Organizational Meeting, to appoint a Deputy because it will have been over five days of the vacancy of that position. Then based on your appointment of the Deputy, that person would serve as the interim Highway Superintendent until this Board appointed a Highway Superintendent and that person is sworn in. That person could either keep the Deputy or appoint a new one. Does anyone have any questions? Supervisor Scheffler - I think we're all set. Would anyone like to make a motion? RESOLUTION #19-001 - APPOINT HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT MOVED by Councilperson Clark, seconded by Councilperson Jackson RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby appoints Michael Perkins as Highway Superintendent for a term to begin January 3, 2019 and end December 31, 2019. Ayes - Young, Jackson, Clark, Scheffler Nays - Resolution Passed There being no further business, Councilperson Young moved to adjourn, seconded by Councilperson Jackson, at 4:05 pm. Unanimous. April L. Scheffler, RMC Town Clerk
