May 2, 2026

The full story

The supervisor moved to continue contracting with Jennifer Boyse as the pool director for the 2026–2027 seasons. The supervisor noted that Boyse Home Care became the contractor years before the Boyses became elected officials, and that the contractor provides hands-on services such as pre- and post-season cleaning, lifeguard scheduling and payroll. "They've consistently provided services... this was years before they became elected officials in the town," the supervisor said.
