Board votes to limit Tug Hill conference attendance to one day
Summary
After debate about precedent and seminar selection, the board voted to attend only one day of the Tug Hill conference; vote was Haynes and Gilson in favor, Pappa, Atkinson and North opposed.
Board members debated whether to authorize two-day attendance at the Tug Hill conference and whether seminars such as Micron and Chobani sessions justified overnight stays. Councilwoman Sue Haynes moved that members sign up for the conference only for one day; the motion was seconded by Councilwoman Donna Gilson and carried on a roll call with Haynes and Gilson voting Yes and Councilmen Pappa, Atkinson and Supervisor North voting No.
Councilman Atkinson offered to personally reimburse the Town for his lodging if he attended an additional night. The board directed members to select one-day attendance to avoid setting a precedent for paying overnight stays for conference seminars.
