Public Commentary
Wayne Landers has concerns over the highway superintendent resignation. He believes that the outgoing highway super was doing a good job. The Board tells Mr. Landers that they cannot publicly comment on personnel matters.
Wayne Landers also asks where the rescue money is being spent, Supervisor King explains that it will be spent on the upcoming sidewalk project.
Phillip Hegedus comments on a letter he received from Tim Bearup, Code officer. Mr. Hegedus states that his correct mailing address is 2907 State Route 41 in Cincinnatus, although the tax rolls do not reflect that mailing address. Mr. Hegedus wants to make the following point to the Town Board:
He does not have 5,000 square feet of tires on his property
He does not run a junk yard or a dump.
He believes her lives on a road maintained by the County and the town has no governance over him or his property.
He believes he is being singled out and wants the nonsense to stop.
Mr. Hegedus gets very loud and rude and is asked to quiet down or leave the meeting.
