May 19, 2009 Town Board Meeting

The Town Board had a split vote, 3-2, regarding the approval of a solid waste management plan that several municipalities (including Guilderland) participate in. Board Dems (Runion, Slavick, Pastore) voted for the plan. Board members Mark Grimm and Warren Redlich opposed the plan because it called for the expansion of the Rapp Road landfill. Many Guilderland residents oppose the landfill expansion because of ongoing problems with odors from the site.

The Board also voted 5-0 to approve a temporary assessment reduction for the restoration of historic barns.
