BOH #78-79 TOWN BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT SUPERVISOR JOHN STROUGH COUNCILMAN ANTHONY METIVIER COUNCILMAN MICHAEL DIXON COUNCILMAN TIMOTHY MCNULTY TOWN COUNSEL MARK SCHACHNER, ESQ. PRESS LOOK TV SUPERVISOR STROUGH called meeting to order... PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE LED BY COUNCILMAN ANTHONY METIVIER SUPERVISOR STROUGH-One thing I want to announce to the public that the Town Board has received the Tentative Budget tonight so they will get a chance to review it, and I just announced that they have it. The second announcement is Councilperson McNulty would like to say a little something and then we'll carry on with the regular agenda so. COUNCILMAN TIMOTHY MCNULTY- Thank you Supervisor Strough. Where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder in every vile practice. The Resolution introduced at our September nineth meeting called for the orderly filling of the vacancy on the Town Board, a process this Board has successfully followed three times over the past four years. Nothing more and nothing less. Unfortunately, some have demonized this orderly transition with baseless accusations of corruptions, gross negligence and even personal attacks. Those and those who propagated these inane arguments should be ashamed of themselves for misrepresenting both themselves and the process of filling vacancies. However, this reflects our current political climate, even here in little old Queensbury where truth and precedent seem to matter less than the distortion of facts. While we still believe appointing an interim fill is the right thing to do for the Ward H residents to avoid further strife and to have the Town move forward and to focus on the two candidates in the election, we will not be forwarding or moving forward on the Resolution to appoint an interim fill for the Ward H vacancy. Thank you. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Alright thank you. Let's move on to regular agenda items. 1.0 BOARD OF HEALTH RESOLUTION ENTERING QUEENSBURY BOARD OF HEALTH RESOLUTION NO.: 340, 2024 INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Michael Dixon WHO MOVED FOR ITS ADOPTION SECONDED BY: Mr. Anthony Metivier Regular Town Board Meeting, 09-23-2024, MTG 925 396 RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby adjourns from Regular Session and enters into the Queensbury Board of Health.
