At a special Town of Niagara meeting on July 7, 2025, the board recorded terms for Road Chief Ken Romuald’s transition from full-time to part-time service and then adjourned.
The minutes state Romuald’s last day of full-time employment will be Aug. 31, 2025, and that he is to begin part-time work on Sept. 1, 2025. Part-time hours are capped at 20 hours per week; the record says any additional hours beyond 20 must receive approval from the town chairman, identified in the minutes as Chairman Bob Butler.
The record lists Romuald’s accrued hours at 135. According to the minutes, 65 of those hours must be used by Aug. 31, 2025, or they will be forfeited; the remaining 70 hours, if not used by that date, will be paid out. The minutes also state the remaining bonus will be pro-rated to $1,000.
Clerk Tami Mielcarek recorded roll call naming Chairman Bob Butler, Supervisor David Sanicki, Treasurer Debbie Emond, Road Chief Ken Romuald and Clerk Tami Mielcarek, with Dawn Johnson noted as an additional appearance. The signature block at the end of the minutes lists Chairman Butler, Supervisor Neuens and Supervisor Sanicki; Neuens does not appear in the roll-call list, an inconsistency noted in the meeting record.
Supervisor David Sanicki moved to adjourn at 9:08 a.m.; Chairman Bob Butler seconded. Voice votes were taken and the minutes record no negative votes; individual tallies were not specified in the record.
The transition plan as recorded establishes Romuald’s timeline and compensation handling; his part-time role is scheduled to begin Sept. 1, 2025. No further board action on this agenda item is recorded in the minutes.
