Town Board Minutes January 9, 2009
Emergency Special Meeting of the Boston Town Board
January 9, 2009 11:00 A.M.
Boston Town Hall
An Emergency Special Meeting of the Boston Town Board was called due to the Highway Superintendent’s unannounced decision to stop snow plowing various town owned parking areas.
Present: Jim Pluta. Rich Hawkins, Cathy Dobson, William Eagan, Cathy Maghran
The Board directed Supervisor Eagan to take meeting minutes.
Supervisor Eagan noted for the record that all board members were contacted as soon as possible for this meeting.
Before I get off on a rant here, lets be clear on one thing. This meeting is not an executive session. It is a special meeting. With that being said it is a typical friday morning at the town hall at 11:00 AM.
The Town of Boston Taxpayers have funded these positions in the 2009 budget:
Town Clerk: $43,515/yr
Asst to Supervisor: $29,750/yr
Deputy Town Clerk: $29,750/yr
Deputy Town Clerk Part Time (2): $12.75/hr.
If we have all these employees are on the payroll, why was the supervisor directed to take the minutes of the meeting?
Where is everybody? Home? Lunch? Break?
Or did this violate open meetings law?
Was a notice posted?
This is poor government.
The Town of Boston Taxpayers deserve better...............
