JOSEPH DAIRE- QUESTIONED THE BOARD IN REGARD TO THE POLICY OF
CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEES. . . ASKED IF THEY HAD TO BE RESIDENTS OF
THE TOWN. . .
COUNCILMAN ROBERTSON- REVIEWED THE CIVIL SERVICE LISTS. . . IT IS
A COUNTY EXAM. . .
COUNCILMAN OLSON- YOU HAVE TO PICK ONE OF THE TOP THREE ON THE
EXAM LIST. . .
PETER TARANA-REVIEWED THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES BEFORE THE TOWN BOARD ,
SEWAGE TREATMENT, PROPER OPERATION OF THE SANITARY LANDFILL , PCB WASTE
SITES ECT. . . I AM SURE THE TOWN BOARD RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF
THESE ISSUES AND YET I FOUND THAT ONE OF THE OFFICIAL TOWN COMMITTEES,
THE CONSERVATION ADVISORY COUNCIL, WHO 'S RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE
THESE ISSUES HAS NOT HAD A FULL BOARD OF NINE MEMBERS FOR THE LAST
SEVERAL YEARS . THE COUNCIL NOW HAS ONLY TWO OFFICIAL MEMBERS. . .
EVEN THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COUNCIL PHIL ARTHUR HAS NOT BEEN REAPPOINTED,
TERM EXPIRED IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, . . . SURELY THE TOWN BOARD IS
INTERESTED IN HAVING CITIZENS HELP SOLVE THESE IMPORTANT PROBLEMS ,
CONTRIBUTING TIME AND EXPERTISE THAT THE TOWN BOARD DOES NOT HAVE. . .
HOPEFULLY THIS IS NOT A CONTINUING ATTEMPT TO DO BY ATTRITION WHAT THE
TOWN BOARD WAS UNABLE TO DO SEVERAL YEARS AGO WHEN A MOVE TO ABOLISH
THE CONSERVATION ADVISORY COUNSEL WAS DEFEATED ONLY AFTER STRONG PUBLIC
SUPPORT FOR THE COUNSEL WAS DEMONSTRATED. I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE
TOWN BOARD CONSIDER APPOINTING OR REAPPOINTING CITIZENS TO THE ADVISORY
COUNSEL TO BRING THE MEMBERSHIP TO NINE AND CONSIDER SOME YOUNG
ADULTS AND SENIOR CITIZENS , AND TO EXTEND THE TERM OF OFFICE TO THREE
YEARS FROM THE CURRENT ONE YEAR TERM. . . ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE
COUNSEL IS THE TERM OF OFFICE IS VERY SHORT. . . ESTABLISH A MECHANISM
TO INSURE ALL COMMITTEES OF THE TOWN TO REMAIN AT FULL STRENGTH. . .
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE TOWN BOARD RELATIONSHIP WITH SOME COMMITTEES
INCLUDING THE RECENT CONTROVERSY INVOLVING THE PLANNING BOARD HAVE DONE
LITTLE TO ENCOURAGE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT. REQUESTED
THAT COUNCILMAN EISENHART AND COUNCILMAN OLSON EXPLAIN HOW THE LOW
MEMBERSHIP WAS ALLOWED TO DEVELOPE. . .
COUNCILMAN OLSON- IN THE PAST WHEN MEMBERS TERMS ARE DUE TO EXPIRE
THE COMMISSION MEMBERS NOTIFY US. . . REVIEWED THE HISTORY OF THE
CONSERVATION COUNCIL . . .NOTED THAT THE COMMITTEE IS SHORT ON MEMBERS
AND THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT. . . IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WILL BE
TAKING CARE OF VERY SHORTLY. . .WE WILL ACCEPT APPLICATIONS FOR THE
OPENINGS FROM RESIDENTS OF THE TOWN. . .
COUNCILMAN EISENHART- I WILL BRING THE BOARD A COMPLETE REVIEW OF
THE CONSERVATION COUNCIL . . . WHO IS ON IT, TERMS ETC.
