The Town Board of the Town of Malone on March 11, 2026 approved routine business, heard updates from highway leadership and authorized administrative steps including advertising for a budgeted part‑time highway employee.
Resolutions adopted included approval of meeting minutes for Feb. 23 and Feb. 25 (Resolutions 65-2026 and 66-2026) and approval of February departmental reports (Resolution 67-2026). The board also adopted Resolution 69-2026 giving Highway Superintendent Michael Andrews permission to notify the town office to seek applicants for a budgeted part‑time employee.
Highway Superintendent Michael Andrews told the board that rapidly changing weather required posting roads on short notice this year. “I did have to post the roads quickly due to the weather changing as fast as it did,” Andrews said, adding that local businesses had been understanding. He reported his crew completed one culvert replacement on Limekiln Road and asked to advertise for part‑time help before April 1 to have staff in place before Memorial Day.
The board approved a facility use agreement with the Adirondack Farmers Market, authorizing Town Clerk Abby Monica to sign the agreement (Resolution 70-2026).
