The Town of Niagara Special Board scheduled interviews with the two top applicants for the town clerk position and discussed proposed hours, pay and participation in the interview process.
Board chairman Bob Butler convened the special meeting at Niagara Town Hall at 9:00 AM on Feb. 4. Supervisors David Sanicki and Ron Neuens were recorded present. The agenda’s principal item was review and discussion of applications for the town clerk vacancy.
During discussion the board considered the length of the clerk’s first term but did not record a final decision on term length. Board members discussed hiring a part-time clerk for about 15–20 hours per week at approximately $25 per hour, with a $30 hourly rate proposed for the person who provides training. The board also discussed having the full board attend interviews and including the previous clerk, Dawn Johnson, in the interview panel.
The minutes record discussion and action to interview the two top applicants on Thursday, Feb. 6, 2025, at 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM at a properly noticed meeting; the record does not list motions or vote tallies specifically approving those interview times. A motion to adjourn the special meeting was made by Supervisor Ron Neuens, seconded by Supervisor David Sanicki; the meeting was adjourned at 10:50 AM. The minutes were submitted by Chairman Bob Butler.
Next steps: the board’s interviews of the two candidates are scheduled for Feb. 6 at the times listed; the minutes do not record a hiring decision at the Feb. 4 meeting.
