Quoted Text

227.10 Authorize the Supervisor to enter into an agreement with the Board of Directors and
the Captain of the Duanesburg Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Inc. in connection with
the Rotterdam Police Department (“RPD”) and the Duanesburg Volunteer Ambulance
Corps, Inc. (“DVAC”) for the Purposes of Advanced Life Support Services.

What's that agreement about?

The residents will probably never know.

and will Rachel E. Manning of Rotterdam Junction get the shaft????

Quoted from 147

What's that agreement about?

I would hope it allows DVAC to cross the town line

and on the PC development group - from walmart to 5 corners there are 10 banks, why are we allowing more sprawl over our town water source

we already cant populate 2 old commercial/retail areas

exiting in and out of the old main florist was always a safety issue

227.10 Authorize the Supervisor to enter into an agreement with the Board of Directors and
the Captain of the Duanesburg Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Inc. in connection with
the Rotterdam Police Department (“RPD”) and the Duanesburg Volunteer Ambulance
Corps, Inc. (“DVAC”) for the Purposes of Advanced Life Support Services.

Quoted from 147

What's that agreement about?

This "agreement" means that our Rotterdam Paramedics would provide ALS services for DVAC...the only question is who would pay
for it? DVAC is a volunteer squad that operates on limited funds...so I would imagine that Rotterdam or DVAC would, and should,
bill the users...just as Mohawk would do if they were to become our primary EMS provider and our paramedics were unable to respond
to a call involving the potential for ALS service.

Don't be surprised if this breeds more calls for another tax district...this time for ALS specifically...just as the original tax scheme
for Rotterdam is falling apart.

and who will be the second Deputy Town Clerk  ???....

Quoted from 759

and who will be the second Deputy Town Clerk  ???....

There will be no second Deputy Clerk.

Quoted from gadfly

There will be no second Deputy Clerk.

226.10 Authorize the Supervisor to appoint an additional Deputy Town Clerk in the event of
an absence of the Deputy Town Clerk.

This resolution was removed from the agenda at the agenda meeting on Monday...as was the ALS resolution, the resolution calling
for another full time dispatcher, and the resolution concerning early retirements.

ah, ty.

There just won't be a Second Deputy Clerk this month.  Wait till next month.

Mr. Democratic Voice of Reason--are you saying this board is going to pull a Tommasone?

No, the total would be three(3) titled clerks of some kind and a parttime employee in the clerks office
