Unusual in that Mr. Szymanski did not submit a personal notification that he would not seek another term on the Planning Board to the Supervisor or Clerk’s Office. Hope all is well with Mel.
As the email submitted by Planning Board Chair Connelly was dated December 5th and has not appeared on the town website under job postings (or elsewhere to my knowledge) that leaves only two weeks for the town to receive applications for the position, for board members to review the applications / applicants and come to a consensus as appointing best candidate – unless a candidate has already been decided upon (wink, wink).
With only two weeks remaining before the town board appoints the planning board members this position should remain vacant until appropriate time takes place to post the opening, an adequate timeline is given to receive applications and where candidates are interviewed before selection is made based on candidate qualifications.
