Resident Mike Betto asks why reappointment drew a 'no' vote
Summary
During public comment, resident Mike Betto asked why a recent reappointment to a town commission received a single 'no' vote and requested clarity about who voted against the candidate; the board declined to take questions during public comment and moved on to the agenda.
Mike Betto, a Waterford resident who identified his address as 207 Great Neck Road, used the meeting's public comment period to seek clarity about a recent reappointment vote. He said he had been reappointed to a commission related to youth and family services and that "there was one two in the affirmative and one against," and asked why a board member voted no.
Chair responded that the board does not engage in back-and-forth during public comment but said the comment would be received for the record. Betto framed his inquiry as a request for clarification, saying he had not met or interacted with the dissenting member and wanted to understand the basis for the "no." The board did not answer the question on the spot and proceeded to the scheduled agenda items.
