Resolution Duly Adopted
Mr. Jensen, prior to the vote on the above resolution, stated
that he would vote Aye for the salaries but would like to
reiterate that he doesn't believe the Zoning Administrator
should be a Civil Service job at this time, based on the fact
stated previously . Mr. Johnson concurred with Mr. Jensen in
that he too didn't believe the Zoning Administrator position
should be Civil Service.
At the conclusion of the vote on the above resolution, Mr. Jensen
stated he did speak to Mrs. Anderson about her duties, as there
seems to be some confusion in this area. He felt it might be
wise to address a letter to her, either through the Supervisor
or Director of Personnel office indicating that her services are
required at all Planning Board and Zoning Board meetings as it
is quite important that she attend them. It might be incumbent
upon the Board to put it in writing that she attend all of them.
Mr. Diehl pointed out that this was the reorganizational meeting
and the subject was inappropriate, but would keep Mr. Jensen's
remarks in mind. Mr. Clausen, in conclusion, pointed out that
Mrs. Anderson hersOlf had requested a meeting with the Town
Board on the subject for clarification. Mr. Jensen agreed this
was true, but by the same token some members made this a Civil
Service appointment without knowing what the qualifications and
duties were, which he believes is somewhat irregular.

Mr. Johnson commented that it seems like whenever we have quali-

an opportunity to discuss the reasons why, just to dismiss someone
after 14 years of service seems a shame.
Supervisor Diehl directed that the Planning Board be asked to

MEMO TO: Town Board Members
FROM: Matthew W. Ryan, Comptroller
RE: Additional Transfers - Year End 1976
We received a request from William Horton dated December
27, 1976 that was inadvertently left off the encumbrance/transfer
list.
I spoke to Allan Rappleyea regarding this and he indicated
that the Board could, at today's meeting, set aside the necessary
funds.
$1,404.56 from DS5140.4 to DS5142.1
$4,000.00 from DR5110.4 to DR5110.1
In addition, the following funds remain overdrawn and need
additional transfers:
$ .10 from A1110.4 Juttices to A1010.4 Town Board
630.96 from surplus to SW4-8320.4 CWW Power & Pumping
Thank you,
Matthew W. Ryan,
Comptroller
