Summary

The Board appointed members to multiple Districts and advisory boards (including West Neck Water District and EMS Advisory Board) and approved volunteer appointments for recreation, while noting some appointees have not yet filed constitutional Oaths of Office.

At its Jan. 12 meeting the Town Board appointed Dan Halstead to the West Neck Water District Board of Directors (term to Apr. 25, 2028), named Peter McCracken a member and Chair of the Emergency Medical Services Advisory Board (term to Dec. 31, 2028), and appointed Edward Katta and Tim Sheehan as volunteers in the Recreation Department. The minutes state these individuals had not yet signed and filed their constitutional Oaths of Office as required by Public Officers Law section 30(1)(h).

Town minutes indicate the Board desired the appointees to serve despite the outstanding paperwork and directed the appointments to be recorded; the Town Attorney and Town Clerk were noted in the minutes as responsible for maintaining appointment records.
