Youth Commission programs and Code Enforcement Officer position among topics at Monday’s Town Board Meeting

By Donald McBrayer

The Town Board held it’s regular meeting on Monday, March 14th. Everyone but the town attorney was present.

  • A discussion on the Youth Meeting revealed consideration of possible cuts to the swimming and arts & crafts programs. The addition of golf, Zumba, and tennis programs are also being considered. No definite decisions have been made regarding any youth program. Counselor Kregg Bruno is replacing Counselor Brandy McDonald as liaison to the Youth Commission. Counselor Jim Douglass will remain the other liaison.
  • The Board passed a motion to advertise for the full-time Codes Enforcement Officer position. The annual salary will start at $30,000, and will increase by $2000 for passing of the civil service exam, and another $2000 for certification. A committee is being formed for interviews, and will consist of the liaisons (Jim Douglass and Sue Polhemus), the Planning and Zoning Board Chairs (Richard Williams and Leon Blair), and a representative from the Comprehensive Planning Committee (yet to be named). Interviews are expected to start March 30th. The Board was asked if they had considered reverting the position back to part-time. Town Supervisor Pete Glushko said it was considered, but with the job demands, and the coming changes to zoning, it was determined best to keep it full-time.
  • Resolutions to accept the deed for the Rock Road schoolhouse and placing a streetlight on Alicia Drive were unanimously passed.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 PM.
