There was a good turnout for this evening's "Special" Town Board meeting re: "Highway Superintendent".... and the mystery only deepens:
....the Board went into a private, 15-minute executive session; came out and announced Mark Zediker would take over Highway Supt responsibilities for an extra $2.50 and hour;
.... HOWEVER... the Board PURPOSELY DID NOT make a resolution appointing Mark Zediker as Temporary Highway Superintendent...
When asked from the "public peanut gallery" why no resolution...Salka was prepared with a curt "we don't need one !"
... that's totally unusual!!,,,and why was the purpose of the meeting, as "Highway Superintendent" so vague...usually you have to specify what action is to be taken at the meeting...not just "Highway Superintendent"...
...so, after the meeting rumor is that Salka and his Board used this particularly vague meeting notice language and no resolution so they could re-appoint Bob Piersma as Highway Supt after he finishes building Salka's house. Otherwise, why the covert operations? No questions...no explanations;
...granted, it's a rumor, but why won't the Town Supervisor and the Board be up front with the community?. So much for Salka's platform of transparent and open government!
