UPDATE:
In an email received this morning from Town Supervisor Ron Staedt, he said
"there will not be a board meeting! The town supervisor
has the only authority to call a board meeting!"
He then issued this statement:
PRESS RELEASE:
Alma regular board meeting was canceled on June 2, 2020. Due
to the executive Law 24 State of Emergency in the Town of Alma. This would
constitute a Special Board meeting. Alma next opportunity for a regular board
meeting is July 7,2020. Dickerson never request of me a special board meeting.
This is nothing short of Coup. To try to forcibly settlement for Trask a fired,
employee. His attorney wants $210,000.
And Ford attorney’s wants $40,000, settlement from town. These 3 board
members have been told for months by the Town’s attorneys this would gifting
Taxpayer money! Which also interferes in ongoing Criminal Investigation.
Meeting on the 9 of June will not happen!
Town Law 62 is what controls how special meetings are
called. If two members of the board make
a written request, the supervisor is to call the meeting within 10 days by
giving at least two days written notice of the time and place to the board
members. It is doubtful that an unsigned
email from a member referencing other members names constitutes a written
request by two members. No one except the supervisor is empowered to call a
meeting, so any meeting called by anyone else is a nullity.
Supervisor Town of Alma
