Town of Clinton approves routine resolutions, appointments and warrants; several items pass by voice vote
Summary
At its Oct. 14 meeting the board approved a tax-levy override resolution, accepted road and cemetery actions, ratified a CSEA memorandum, confirmed several appointments and approved warrants and supervisor’s report.
The Town of Clinton’s Oct. 14 meeting included a string of routine resolutions and personnel actions approved by voice vote.
The board moved and approved a resolution adopting a local law to override the tax levy limit for Fiscal Year 2026 (voice vote recorded as carried). During discussion, members said the authority is precautionary and that the board has not historically exceeded the cap. One board member noted the power exists to exceed the cap only in fiscal emergencies.
Other approved actions included accepting 'Reserve Lane' as the new road name for the Dutchess Reserve subdivision and approving a $500 buyback of a single cemetery plot in Pleasant Plains Cemetery to Douglas Mahan (the amount equals the original purchase price). The board also approved a memorandum of agreement to extend the CSEA collective bargaining agreement for the stated term, and confirmed multiple personnel actions: appointing Serenity Schaffer as a part‑time clerk, promoting Gavin Reichheld to HMEO and appointing Joshua Sahl as MEO, with pay and benefits set per the CSEA contract.
Finance and oversight actions passed: the October general fund, highway fund and capital fund warrants were approved (vouchers and totals announced) and the supervisor’s September 2025 report was accepted.
All approvals were carried by voice vote; the transcript records the motions, seconds and voice results but does not provide a roll-call tally for each vote.
