"132.10 Appoint Michelle Golden of Rotterdam, New York as Deputy Town Clerk, full-time, with full employee benefits, at an annual salary of $32,500.00, retroactive to March 29, 2010."
Not even there a whole month and named deputy town clerk. Cindy Dumar, who worked for Eunice for nine months, did the same job with no extra title. Must be Eunice really hated the girl. Whatta surprise. Where did Ms. Dumar end up anyway. Anyone seen her recently? Maybe Clark Kent should be interviewing Ms. Dumar for his next big piece in the gazette, I am sure she could give Eunice's adoring public an earful!
MM whose appointment was Dumar? EE or ST's? Shouldn't EE be allowed to pick her own person.
Dumar was appointed at the end of last year to deputy and was not reappointed, yet having the exact same duties in 2010. EE'S OFFICE HAS JUST COST THE TAXPAYERS MORE MONEY, as Ms. Golden is now full time with full time benefits, plus there is another part time person in EE's office. Dumar was able to do all of the same work for the same money. EE is still earning her FULL SALARY, while not working whatsoever. To my knowledge, we have been hearing that the Town is in dire straights and there is a hiring freeze in place. Oh and don't give me that entitlement crap either, EE nor MG are entitled to anything. I am sure Ron Severson, Diane Marco, Tony Jesinski and friends are going to get up at the next town meeting to put a stop to this appointment like they did when Dumar was to be appointed.
139.10 Refer to Planning Commission for report and recommendation thereon a proposed Local Law of the Year 2010 for the following purpose: For a Change of Zone on approximately 2.735 acre parcel(s) from Single Family Residential (R-1) and Two Family Residential (R-2) to Multi-Family Residential (R-3), on Tax Map Number 58.8-9-17.11 & 58.8-9-4.1 located at 1066 Curry Road, Schenectady, New York, 12306. The applicant proposes to construct a six (6) unit apartment building and bring a 42-unit apartment building into current zoning codes.

Ms. Dumar is now in the DPW. What happened to the hiring freeze anyway? This board is such a joke. Ms. Dumar was selected off a civil service list something EE refused to abide by.

So they took a completely trained person from EE's office and shoved her in DPW? I heard she has a lawyer, so I am smelling quite a lawsuit here.

If she does have a lawyer, I think it is a good move. If she doesn't, I hope that she goes to CSEA and requests legal assistance. The current town admin is out of control and they need to be put in place. It's 2010 and the old boys club antics are a thing of the past.
like i said, the money must be growing on trees - looks like they have already spent the revenues raised by the zoning changes for BI and Golub and we dont have a shovel in the ground yet
Oh.....wait, that just the leaves a little early this year
Talking to each other is better than talking about each other

Details? Or are they too "personnel" to talk about?
Direct quote from our fearless leader FDG and this was not said in Executive Session: "We will fire Cindy". This is how they want to pay for Michele Golden's salary.
I think this new administration will quickly find out that they cannot do whatever they please without recourse. It's probably going to take a couple successful lawsuits against the Town before the Board realizes this!
And the lack of professionalism by the TB is a reflection of the fact that they don't know what they are doing!
