Communications October 13, 1977 Town Board of the Town of Queensbury Twwn Office Building Bay and Haviland Roads Glens Fails, N.Y. 12801 Dear Members of the Town Board: The vacancy in the office of County Supervisor should not be filled until after the November 8th election. There are contests for all three Supervisor positions, and your appointment should await the results of the election. After the election, you can appoint one of the successful candidates, and thereby enable him or her. to take office immediately— This would give a voice to thepeople and would enable the Town to have continuity of representation. Yours truly, QUEENSBURY DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE WM/pl BY William EcCarthy, Chairman Ltr. 17 Lynnfield Drive Glens Falls ,NY 12801 October 17, 1977 Queensbury Town Board --J Dear Members : It was by unanimous decision of the full Queensbury Republican Committee that William H. Barton of 7 Meadowbrook Road he recom- menddd to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. N. Harwood Beaty for the remainder of his term (until December 31, 1977) . I am sure this board realizes the importance of Queensbury' s contribution to the decision making process on the County Board of Supervisors. I don' t feel that this town can sacrifice Queensbury' s eleven weighted votes for even one meeting. The citizens of Queensbury are entitled to full representation at all times at every level of government. Two years ago the people of Queensbury alected a Republican Supervisor, and they are entitled by that election to have a Republican Supervisor reppesent them for the full term. Sincerely, /s/ Dan Morrell, Chairman Queensbury Republican Committee Councilman Olson- Introduced a motion of appointment for Mr. William Barton to be appointed as a Warren County Supervisor. Supervisor Brandt- refused to accept the resolution due to other applications for county supervisor. Councilman Olson- I withdraw my motion. Michel R. Brandt, Supervisor Daniel R. Gealt Town of Queensbury Rd.l, Ridge Rd. Queensbury Oct, 17, 1977 i 189 Dear Mr. Brandt, I am writing to comment on the policy that is presently used to fill vacancies in elective offices in Queensbury. I would like to point out that Queensbury has a long history of resignations and appointments among it' s elected officials . Statistically, in the last 13 years, 2 Town Supervisor , 2 County Supervisors, and 7 Town Council members were originally appointed to their positions. By comparison, Glens Falls , with it' s 5 Supervisors, and 5 Council seats, has only had one person appointed to fill a vacancy caused by a resignation in the last 28 years.. I will also add that all four of our present Town Council members, and both of our present County Supervisors were originally appointed to their positions, and had the advantage of incumbency when they faced their first elections. I believe that the citizens of Queensbury are truly tired of this "government by committee" policy, and I request your help in putting a stop to it. Queensbury does need to be fully represented in county govern- ment, and full reppesentation can be maintained by appointing one of the candidates chosen by the people of Queensbury in the coming General Election. May I suggest that the Town Council postpone the appointment of a County Supervisor until Wednesday, November 9, and return the choice of elected representatives to the ep opk of Queensbury. Thank you, /s/ Daniel R. Gealt f Statistical Reference for letter to Michel R. Brandt 10-17-77 Resignations and appointments to elective offices in Queensbury.

Board of Elections Office. DRG 1-17-77 /s/ 190 Ltr. Nine Pershing Road Glens Falls, New York 12801 October 18, 1977 Mr. Michel Brandt Supervisor Town of Queensbury Bay Road Glens Falls, New York 12801 Dear Mr. Brandt: According to recent articles in the local press, it appears that the Queensbury Town Board is about to seriously consider appointing someone to $-11- the existing vacancy on the Warren County Board of Supervisors.. In my opinion, I am well-qualified to fill this position and would apprectite the opportunity to speak to the Board prior to their making any decision on this matter. . Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, /s/ Frederick R. Shenk, Jr. Councilman Olson- reintroduced the motion to appoint Mr. William Barton as a Warren Co. Supervisor, seconded by Mr. Hammond Roberteon Supervisor Brandt-Requested that he be allowed to meet Mr. Barton and interview him for the position of Warren Co. Supervisor—and interview others for the position other than just those chosen by the Republican committee. Queensbury is not represented by the 17, 000 residents of the town. I think we should nominate whoever is elected at the next election. There are no county meetings until November 18. There are many Republicans who are not happy with the decsisions of the Republican Committee. There are many nice people from all the parties. The appointment is by this Board and not the Republican Committee, even though all you were first put on this Beerd. by appointment I hope you are not ---� in such servitude to this committee that you can over-look all the other residents of the town. Councilman Olson- Commented that three of the councilmen have can in elections, a person does not hold office by appointment forever. Councilman Robertson-There is another side to this it is really the responsiblity of the political parties, to produce candidates for election. I want to prodide the people of Queensbury with a full choice of one candidate from each party, because of the circumstances the law does not permit the changing of the name on the ballot, this is the only way the RepublicawParty has of getting the name of a qualified candidate to the people, I do not think that is circumventing the election. I feel to not fill one it would automatically insure the election of a Democratic candidate, and I do not say that they are not qualified but I want the people to make that choice, and have a full choice of Republican and Democratic, and not automatically elect a Democrat4:. Supervisor Brandt-questioned if Councilman Robertson i=ld consider another candidate? Councilman Robertson- noted that the Republic Committee met and advertised for anyone interested in the position to come to the meeting. . .I will consider any individual. . . Supervisor Brandt- Commented that he felt it was a personal insult that he has not been abbe to interview the candidate for Warren Co. Supervisor. Councilman Robertson- it was not meant as a personal insult. . . Councilman Olson- reviewed the hiring of the Town Bookkeeper noting that the Board had nothing to say about that. . . Supervisor Brandt- legally that was my decision. . .this decision by law I am susposed to have something to say about it. Questioned, is it possible that the committee likes people that are obedient they do not like people that get into primaries. 19l Councilman Robertson- reviewed some history of Republicant PrInaries. . . Supervisor Brandt-questioned the election of Committeemen as being rare. Councilman Walter and Councilman Barber- refuted this statement. Councilman Barber- explained the committeemen' s election in his district invilving his wife and himself. Speaking in regard to Harwood Beaty noted that he had served the County for 16 years asked Mr. Beaty what he desired to have done this evening I felt that it was his choice, he said he would like Bill Barton as his -- choise. Mr. Shenk addressed the Board- as a life long Republican he wished to place his name in consideration for County Supervisor. . .Commented that in speaking with residents they felt that the ,34 Rapublican Committee, person3At making the decision of the Town Board, this was broug);t .aut in Mr. GgAlt's letter. I feel qualified to serve on the committee meeting that will take place before election.. .I would resign after election day 8o that the Town Board could appoint the person etipetn'A# bixe Committee this would allow the people' s choice rather than the party's choise. Councilman Barber- question Mr. Shenk and asked him if he would not have a. confldet of interest since both the Town and the County deposit monies in the -,First Nat' l Bank. Mr. Shenk-No I would not be a chairman of a committee. Councilman Robertson- Are you an officer of the Bank? Mr. Shenk- I am a Senior Officerof the Bank. Mr. Murphy asked to speak. . . Supervisor Brandt- I am ruling you out of order, because I do not want to open this to a general discussion. . . Mr. Murphy- what party are you endorsed -by, Supervisor Brandt. Supervisor Brandt-I am endorsed by both the Conservative and Democratic Party. Mr. Murphy- Did the Conservatives have a meeting to choose a candidate for County Supervisor? Supervisor Braudd-I really do not know. that. I am rullAg ,you out of order. Ltr. Can. I place my name on a list for Warren County Super- Joyce Thompson Joyce Thompson-Noted that shs is very interested in local government and listed her degrees. . .has taught school. . .

Councilman Robertson- I will withdraw my second. . . Supervisor Brandt- called for further applicants. . .opened the floor to discussion. . . Mr. Murphy-reviewed the. Republican Committee action of this matter. . . _ Questioned the Supervisor if the Democratic or Conservative party had a candidate for County Supv. ? Supervisor Brandt- I do not run those parties_ I do not.know what they have done. .'.Noted that he did not realize that this would be brought out tonight. . . felt that the Board should interview the people that are interested. Mr. Murphy-Mr. Brandt, if you cjj.,rsit right there and say only two minutes before the Board meeting that younknow there were going to bit any applicants for this post I have got to call you a liar, because there is no way, it has been in the paper for two weeksor a week, rather, that there will be applicants or there will be endorsements from candidates for different peeties, that would be brought to the- Town- Board.. 192 Supervisor Brandt- noted that phis is not a party position we are talking about a representative of the Town People. Shirley Shenk-Candidate for County Supv. - commented that there are three Republican candidates on the ballot there are three republican people being voted for� you may vote for tree people of the six running, the resignation' of one of the Supervisor is from now until January and in January. if he is elected. a.l.l anyone of the top, . three are the Supervisors) after that may may not come another appointment. Joyce Thompson- questioned if is whs possible to not appoint anyone until after the election? Supervisor Brandt-yes. Joyce Thompson- If Mr. Beaty won the ilection he could take office in January? Supervisor Brandt- He legally could. . Councilman Walter- He definitely will not. Jerry Cruso- Do not feel that the Town Board should choose anyone tonight, wait until after election, and pick someone that the people have chosen. Councilman Walter- what happens if a County meeting is called if there is not a fourth member. our people will not be full represented. Jerry Cruso- I feel that the people have the right to be represented by the people and not by the committee. Councilman Barber- Found it ironical that Mr. Caruso did appear before the Committee for the position of Councilman to be- recommended for the position to the town board. . . Supervisor Brandt- was that not about a year away from election? it seems to be an obivious dffference. { Mr. Clements- questioned why the Town surveys were only sent to 10% of the Qsby. Population? Councilman Walter- noted the expense of mailings and reviewed the mini meeting , etc. Joan Roberteon- NOted that there were locations where the mailings could be picked up by the public. . .
