May 6th Town Board Meeting

The three finalists for the police chief opening were interviewed prior to, and after, the Town Board meeting. A decision should come soon.

Several residents spoke about concerns involving a proposed development on 41 acres at 17 School Road near Guilderland High School. They said flooding was already a big problem in their basements and wanted to ensure the development doesn't add to the problem. The initial approval for the development was delayed by the Board, pending more study by the developer.

A former summer employee at the Western Turnpike golf course spoke at public comment period complaining he was not re-hired this summer. John Adamovich said he was told there was "a new policy" that only Guilderland residents can work there now. Supervisor Runion said there is a "preference" given town employees but there is no residency requirement. Runion said he made the cut in order to save money. Mark Grimm and Warren Redlich said they should have been informed about the supervisor's actions.
