Robert Carney resigned as Cuba Town Supervisor at the
beginning of the Town’s organizational meeting held on January 8, 2019, at the
Cuba Circulating Library. Mr. Carney read
a prepared statement commenting on his 18 years of service to the town and made
a special effort to thank many of its long-term employees by name for their
service and dedication.
Due to the unanticipated resignation, the remaining board
members determined that the organizational meeting should be adjourned until a
later date, and after a short break, the regular meeting commenced with an
amended agenda. Members of the audience, the board, and various town
departments thanked Mr. Carney for his service to the town.
At the close of the meeting, Joe Miller accepted the board’s
nomination to fill the remainder of Mr. Carney’s term, which expires December
31, 2019. The board announced that there
is a special meeting scheduled for January 15, 2019, at 7:00 p.m. at the Palmer
Opera House, 12 W Main Street, Cuba. The
purpose of the meeting is to complete the organizational meeting and address
any other business.
The board is committed to continuity in town services and is
confident that Cuba’s best days are ahead.
