Board motioned to approve three new fire department members; final vote not recorded in transcript
Summary
At the Jan. 5 Menands Village board meeting trustees discussed and moved to approve three individuals for the fire department: Giovanni Charico (regular firefighter), Kendall Harrington (junior firefighter) and Aretha Coleman (junior firefighter). The transcript records the motion and a second but does not record a formal roll-call vote.
At the Jan. 5 Menands Village board meeting, an unidentified trustee moved to approve three people the fire department had vetted for membership.
Unidentified Speaker (S1) named the nominees and said they had completed background checks: "Giovanni Charico is gonna be the regular firefighter. Kendall Harrington will be a junior firefighter. Aretha Coleman will be a junior firefighter." S1 then stated, "I'll make the motion to approve the 3 firefighters for the department." Unidentified Speaker (S4) seconded the motion.
The record shows the motion and a second but does not capture a formal roll-call or a recorded tally in the available transcript. The speakers noted the department had vetted each candidate and completed background checks.
Because the transcript does not include an explicit vote count or a clear verbal approval on the record for this item, the minutes should be checked or the clerk contacted to confirm whether the appointments were formally adopted.
