I hear there is a piece of paper taped to the door of town hall stating such

Can anyone confirm?

There is a special meeting of the Town Board after the agenda meeting that day.

think they found jimmy hofas' body buryed under neeth city hall ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

ba ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

this speaks for the quality of the current admin

wonder what the big flockin hurry/secret is???

The last time there was a last minute "special" meeting the REMS vote was schduled under the guise of a "budget presentation". Given FDG's
comments in today's Gazette about a REMS audit, I wouldn't be surprised if ems/REMS is a subject of discussion in the executive session
scheduled for 6pm, between the 5pm agenda meeting and the 7pm "special meeting".

All I know is they better not be trying to backdoor us with REMS after all that's happened with them.

I tried to ask FDG about it while I was at Town Hall today but BG tried to slam me in the door while I was talking to him !

Well, at the very least, they are giving enough notice on this meeting for it to be legal.

yeah a piece of paper taped to the town hall door

FDG - a conservative at heart

this blog should be the newspaper of the town of rotterdam

so here are our choices

issues with the employee moves
OSM - give aways in the cable contract
a back door deal for REMS
a back door deal for Mohawk
the rework of the medical board
CSEA union contract
personel issues at the senior center
support for protester in Egypt and Yemen with a resolujtion stating such
transfer of property for 911 call center
safety issues with houses in various parts of rotterdam
issues with High Voltage DC line between Canada and NYC
who is leaking info to this blog

What a circus

45 min executive session in a top secret room

50 in attendance

Only reporter was John from the spotlight

DelGallo was so flustered he couldn't nod off

Employees (4) are to go back to their non cross training positions

Jack shielly said "a**"
As in Peanut worked her a** off today because 2 employees of the brass rail called in sick today

Policy and proceedure manual for the senior center passes

OK, so I realize some of this needed to get done, but what is it that was on this agenda that couldn't wait another 48 hours to be done as part of the regularly scheduled board meeting.  Also, I realize the meetings haven't been making it to SACC to be broadcast or put on the website, but was this emergency meeting actually taped, or was there no camera to keep track?
