Board appoints Mindy Pruenger deputy supervisor; vote includes one abstention
Summary
The board passed a resolution appointing Mindy Pruenger as deputy supervisor to serve while the interim-supervisor selection process continues; the vote was by roll call and included one abstention noted in meeting minutes.
The town board adopted a resolution appointing Mindy Pruenger to serve as deputy supervisor effective immediately while the board continues the process of selecting an interim supervisor.
The resolution, read by the interim supervisor, cited New York State Town Law authority allowing the board to appoint a deputy to act in the supervisor's place when the office is vacant or the supervisor is absent. The resolution specified that the deputy's responsibilities are limited to duties authorized under state law and that the deputy will not receive an additional vote on the town board by virtue of the appointment.
A roll-call vote followed. Multiple members voted yes and one member stated publicly that they were abstaining during the roll call. The board recorded passage of the resolution and noted the statutory limits on the deputy supervisor's authority.
Next steps: Mindy Pruenger will serve as deputy supervisor; any further delegation of authority beyond those duties requires a later resolution.
