Summary
The Rhinebeck Town Board presented remarks and a small gift on Dec. 8 to departing Deputy Supervisor Chauncey Walker, lauding his role on projects from LED street-light conversions to the town's pickleball courts and commending his attention to detail.
The Rhinebeck Town Board on Dec. 8 formally recognized outgoing Deputy Supervisor Chauncey Walker for nearly nine years of service. Board members praised Walker’s contributions to multiple town projects, including overseeing conversion of town street lights from incandescent to LED, serving as liaison on workforce housing site work (Locust Hill), and championing the construction of the town’s pickleball courts.
Board remarks highlighted Walker’s consistent attendance, thorough review of documents and willingness to get things done. "He's the best signer," one board member said, commending Walker’s careful attention to details in the town’s paperwork. The board presented Walker with a small engraved token and invited members for a brief celebration after the meeting; members wished him well in retirement and thanked him for his steadiness on the board.
This was a ceremonial recognition; no personnel actions were taken during the meeting related to the departure. The board noted that a separate swearing-in and service for the member 'Debbie' will be scheduled at a later date.
