Board approves Amber Wilson appointment after request for labor counsel review; one abstention recorded
Summary
The board appointed Amber Wilson as exempt secretary to the superintendent of highways with a retroactive hire date and probationary period; one member asked to consult labor counsel and abstained from the vote.
The town board approved Resolution 2026-20 appointing Amber Wilson as exempt secretary to the superintendent of highways and commissioner of public works, retroactive to Jan. 2, 2026, with an annual salary of $71,750 and a 26-week probationary period. The motion initially prompted comment from a board member seeking an opportunity to consult with the town’s labor attorney before voting.
"I would love the opportunity to consult with our labor attorney in a, executive session about this transition," a board member said, and another member said they felt comfortable passing the resolution that night. After discussion the motion passed; one member recorded an abstention, stating they did not have enough information to vote.
The appointment was approved by voice vote and recorded as carried. No changes to the salary or probationary conditions were made at the meeting; the board noted an executive-session conversation with labor counsel was already scheduled for the following day.
