Supervisor Nadolski offered
the floor to those in attendence.
Justice elect, Mardis Kelsen,
asked for an explaination why the
justice's salary for 1986 was not
included in the legal notice.
It was explained to her that
the legal notice reads Town Board
salaries, and due to a change in
law, a town justice is no longer
a member of a town board.
The justice's salary, as an
elected offical, does appear on
the last page of the budget as
required by law.
Town Clerk, Pauline Parker,
asked the Board to pass a resolution
granting her a salary increase for
1987-
She presented the Board with
a copy of her 1986 request which
asked for a salary increase for the
two years of her term - 1986 and 1987.
She also presented a sample resolution
adopted by the County of the proce-
dure done by them for their full time
elected officals. This needs to
be done at the time of election.
