“SPECIAL ORGANIZATIONAL” MEETING OF THE TOWN BOARD
TOWN OF GLENVILLE
JANUARY 5, 2011
AT THE GLENVILLE MUNICIPAL CENTER
18 GLENRIDGE ROAD, GLENVILLE, NEW YORK
Supervisor Koetzle called the meeting to order at 7:30 PM;
Supervisor Koetzle asked the Town Clerk, Linda C. Neals, to call the roll.
Present: Supervisor Christopher A. Koetzle, Councilmen Alan Boulant, Mark Quinn,
Sid Ramotar and Councilwoman Gina M. Wierzbowski
Absent: None
Supervisor Koetzle administered the “Oath of Office” to Councilwoman
Wierzbowski and Judge Davenport administered the “Oath of Office” to Town Justice Brian
Mercy.
Supervisor Koetzle – “I would like to take a moment to clarify where this
Board is going over the next couple of months.
Last month we were all saddened to learn that our most senior member of
the Town Board, Councilman Quinn, will be leaving us sometime this year to accept the
position of Deputy Commissioner within the Schenectady County Board of Elections.
Since Councilman Quinn made that announcement the Board has received expressions of
interest for the soon to be vacant seat from several qualified candidates. To be fair to
those applicants the remaining members of the Town Board, whose duty it will be to
appoint a successor and all be enrolled in the same political party, interviewed candidates
in a political caucus. I believe that the Board members have reached a consensus on an
extremely qualified candidate. In order to do our due diligence we are prepared now to
publicly discuss our tentative choice in a work session to be held on January 12th here at
Town Hall. If after that session the members of the Board publicly agree on the candidate
the Board will be prepared to act as soon as the vacant seat is created. I believe the
entire Board believes it is in the best interest of the Town that we make a selection as
early as possible so the new Board member can get up to speed quickly on pressing
issues facing the Town and so that the Board and the residents of the Town can have the
benefit of this persons input as we develop our strategic plan and goals for the fiscal year,
2011.
I have also determined that it is in this Towns best interest to make certain
changes to the assigned liaison roles, which we will talk about later and give people an
opportunity to work in different areas there by gaining a fuller understanding and
appreciation for town departments and the work that they do and to match the skill sets of
the Board members to the assignments as best as possible.
For developing our goals and objectives and continuity through out the year
it is best that we make these liaison assignments at the beginning of the year to those who
will be responsible for carrying out the assignments throughout the year. So we are going
to be a little premature and make some committee assignments although we may not
have everybody in place. Fortunately for us our tentative choice to fill the soon to be
vacated board seat is very familiar with local government, particularly Town and Village
relations and is intimately familiar with public safety and dispatch issues. Having served
with distinction for many years as the Chief of Police in the Village of Scotia it is my distinct
pleasure to announce that at our Town Board work session we will formally interview John
Pytlovany as a candidate for the appointment to the Glenville Town Board. We are
confident that given his experience and continued involvement in our community John will
be able to hit the ground running and will be able to immediately step up into the position
on the Board.
I invite any interested Town resident to attend our work session next week
and to submit to me or any member of this Board any questions that you may want John to
Tn Brd Mtg 01-05-2011
address at this public session. I would like to congratulate John and welcome him to the
process as we complete it next week and say that we are looking forward to it.”
Supervisor announced the following appointments:
a) Deputy Supervisor – Alan Boulant
b) Commissioner of Public Works, Thomas Coppola
c) Deputy Highway Superintendent, Jeffrey Gemmette, per recommendation of
Highway Superintendent.
d) Deputy Commissioner of Public Works, Jeffrey Gemmette
e) Department Liaisons
Supervisor Koetzle – “We have grouped the resolutions in specific
categories and if the Board consents we can take them up on consent. If a Board member
wished to act on any of the resolutions individually we can do that.
Item #’s 1 – 6 are administrative.”
Councilman Boulant made a motion to consider #1–6 on consent, Seconded
by Councilman Quinn, all in favor.
