Councilman Redlich questioned when the budget workshops would be held.
MOTION #118 Supervisor Runion moved to ADJOURN THE JULY 6TH, 2010 TOWN BOARD MEEETING AT 7:40 PM. Councilwoman Slavick seconded the motion and it was carried by the following roll call vote:
Councilman Redlich |
Aye–Said, “Mr. Supervisor before I vote, I asked you at the last meeting and I’ve asked you by e-mail if you would let us know and we’ve passed half way through the year 2010, you are the Town’s Chief Fiscal Officer, I was hoping you would give us a report on the Town’s financial status and I was hoping that you would schedule dates for budget workshops for this fall. When do you plan on doing that?”
Supervisor Runion said, “Well Mr. Redlich, we have given you monthly reports, which you can read at your leisure. Secondly, as you know, you have, I believe a conflict of interest. Until that conflict of interest or the resolution of your Federal case that you filed against the Appellate Division and the Committee on Professional Standards, I really don’t feel that I should be discussing any kind of budget with you because of your conflicts.”
Mr. Redlich asked if there would be any budget workshops.
Supervisor Runion stated that there will be budget workshops but they are established in late September or early October as was previously stated. Department heads have not as yet received materials to formulate their budget and until then we cannot hold workshops. The Supervisor is not required to file a budget prior to September 30, 2010. |
