Public questions hiring process after board appoints part‑time laborer
Summary
Fred Scalise was appointed as a part‑time laborer effective June 10; a resident asked whether the job was posted and the supervisor confirmed it was not, saying the position did not exist until the applicant approached Highway Superintendent Robert Ford.
The board voted to appoint Fred Scalise as a part‑time laborer effective June 10, 2026. Supervisor Anthony Fernandez told the board Scalise "with his background we can use him for the big jobs that we will be working on this summer."
During public comment resident Sheryl Fleming asked whether the new hire was a town resident and whether the position had been publicly advertised. Fernandez replied the hire is from the Town of Ohio and said, "No it wasn't, there wasn't a position until he approached Robert Ford." The board did not record additional discussion about posting procedures or a timeline for future vacancies.
The appointment was moved and seconded and the motion carried. The board did not add or amend hiring procedure policy at the meeting.
