Want to know who is the best representative to speak to in the town on a particular issue? Following just below is a list of town board members and the departments they oversee. Then a list of the standing committees follows. Town Supervisor Teresa Roney said she wants to committee chairs to start reporting to the town board on a quarterly basis, “So, we are not surprised with issues they are working on.” A schedule to accomplish this was put in place.
The town board discussed in their end of the year meeting on Dec. 28 the need to get the word out to those who might be interested in serving on a committee, stating that the more different residents are involved the better. Planning Board and ZBA committee chairs Mark Tucker and David Graham were reappointed because they have done a good job on development oversight in the town and each expressed a desire to continue on in the position. But also it was discussed that if another resident would like to be involved, it’s important to let a member of the town board know for future consideration so that new ideas come into the planning process.
