Town Board Vacancy Selection Process

There will be an open seat for a Supervisor because the final candidates for Town Chairman are both Supervisors. There was a call for applications, and a meeting has been scheduled to appoint a new Supervisor. The meeting will take place Wednesday, April 13, 2011 at 5:30pm. The following gives you an idea of how the selection process works:

CANDIDATE SELECTION PROCESS
1. Each candidate listed below will be allowed three minutes for a verbal
presentation to the Board. Candidates will be asked to step to the
podium as their name is called by the Town Chairperson:

a. Sherri McNamara
b. Bruce Sherman
c. Ron Tank
d. Joan Haag
e. Tony Awofeso

2. Town Supervisors and the Town Clerk will vote by signed ballot. Tally
of votes will be conducted by the Deputy Town Clerk. If a tie vote
occurs, 2-2-1, a re-vote will occur. Only the names of those with a tie
vote will be voted on until one receives the most votes. The other
candidates will have been considered eliminated from the process.

3. The candidate selected by the most votes will take an oath of office
administered by the Town Clerk and begin their term at the April 19,
2011 regular meeting
