Summary
The Seward Town Board on Feb. 9, 2026 adopted Local Law No. 1 of 2026 to increase the 2026 salary of the Superintendent of Highways. The public hearing included an email of support; the adoption passed by voice vote.
The Town of Seward Town Board adopted Local Law No. 1 of 2026 on Feb. 9, approving an increase to the 2026 salary for the Superintendent of Highways. Supervisor Mark Fletcher opened a public hearing on the measure and read an emailed statement from resident Tina Dawson expressing support for the increase.
After the public hearing closed at 6:30 p.m., Councilman William Harlow moved and Councilman James Seresky seconded a motion to adopt the local law. The motion carried on a voice vote. The board did not record a roll-call tally for the law; the minutes state only that the motion carried by voice vote.
The action was taken as part of the board's regular monthly meeting and follows a procedure of opening a public hearing, receiving comments (in this case one emailed comment recorded by the supervisor), and moving to adopt the proposed local law. The archive of meeting minutes notes the law as titled: "Local Law Increasing the 2026 salary of the Superintendent of Highways of the Town of Seward, Schoharie County, NY."
