Not a joking matter Mary. Kelly has a history of violence. Anyone who smacks around their own mother has issues. It is well documented that her anger issues have often got the best of her. Not afraid but aware.....
Gee Tony it sounds like you know her better than I do.....however; she scares you much more than she scares me!
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
I've said it before and I'll say it again. KR may not be the most conventional person, but knows more about the system then anyone else. As far as being angry......it's a 'just anger'. I have heard many many times that she is good hearted and would do anything for anyone if asked. And I'm sure that she would never leave someone cause they were sick. It's just not her.
The girl knows her stuff and ya can't take that away from her.
Putting that aside........it sounds like rotterdam will be having another heluva town board meeting again!! pass the popcorn!

Bob - there is 17,000 left on the former town clerks line and the registrar of vital stats 12k to take care of Ms Askew’s $$$
Nicki - let's go with the original plan We had Ms Askew come back as another employee at the courts has to leave for medical reasons Take an existing town employee Cindy Dumar - we would not have to spend an extra cent Ms Askew - does a great job
Wayne - spoke with comptroller - the issue is with retirement The comptroller could get the 6K to cover the rest of the year This is vacation season and anyone sent there would struggle
Nicki - we need to save every penny we can move the DPW employee FDG -What is this $19,0000 Does she get 17000??? She will be getting $6000 more not $19000 As far as the judge is concerned things run well over there They pay their own pay if you take a look at the tickets – this is the only dept that makes money
Nicki - this is a move of a salary from one dept to another Wayne - this discussion should have happen at the agenda meeting Bob - just for clarification - Michele will get the remaining salary in the town clerks line? Vote on the resolution - All yes
Amend Resolution N0.167.11 adopted on April 27, 2011 to reinstate Nancie Askew of Rotterdam, New York to the position of Senior Typist, temporary full-time, with no employee benefits at an hourly rate of $17.95 per hour to reflect the end date of December 31, 2011. Discussion continues from last resolution on this subject - Matt I will only vote if we do not exceed the justice budget Bob - the 6000 is only half the amount Wayne - the difference between and working every day is 6000. - they have enough to get her thru November Nicki - We are willing to beg borrow and steal to spend 6000 Matt - the smart thing to do would be to move the employee and keep Ms Askew on and train the employee Nicki -It is crazy to spend this money Bob - are we having a special meeting on aug 24th Nicki - I not happy spending another penny Frank - excuse me !!! Wayne - we have to pay her to aug 24th Nicki - do what we originally planed Bob the issue is the only person who can make the move is the supervisor Nicki - what would we have done if the person did not get sick Bob- the sick person went out on unpaid sick leave - thus we had the cash I want to see budget lines Fdg - let them have the girl to the 24th, The judge said the agreement was for the end of the year
############### RPD Sargent walks in - We now have police protection ###############
Matt - what changes in 4months - we will be in the same position Bob - we have a full time position that needs to be budgeted We won't see that until the end of September
Nicki - we had a plan in last November Why are we fighting FDG - that person you are talking about is sitting in the corner doing nothing Nicki - do not put words in my mouth FDG -You spent 100,000 on ALS money you didn't have Michele - cut off by the supervisor Bob - amend this resolution to reflect aug 24 cutoff date and have the judges come in and speak to us on the 24th Motion to amend Bob - yes Nicki - no Martin - yes Wayne - yes Fdg – yes Amend Resolution No. 17.11 adopted on January 1, 2011 to appoint John Macejka, Jr. as Part-Time Assessor for the Town of Rotterdam, effective January 1, 2011, with no employee benefits to reflect the term of his appointment to conclude September 30, 2013. Long delay for a second
????? - I do not want to commit to 2013 as a part time position. This was to be for a year and then we will review this issue Let's table this until aug 24th
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ TIME CHECK ----7:45pm @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Nicki - this was supposed to be a one year trial
wayne - I was on the board about 1hr when I voted on this I have no objection I have a problem with our attorneys they did not supply the whole law to me
Nicki - this has nothing to do with the employee it has to do with the position, The issue is the info given to us was wrong Now we have a part-time possessor, the law states the part time assessor is to 2013
Fdg - he is part time to save money Nobody is complaining. - he doing a good job Nicki – this has nothing to with the person Attoney - the law says for the balance of the term Fdg - we can't all be talking at once Table this resolution. - Matt include words to keep our options open

Thanks for the update but is TJ Hooker really pastor Tony? Is he a minister now or does he just get to stand up and read prayers?
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
I thought that is what all of this micromanaging "cross-training" was for, so people could be moved from department to department without interruption. So now we really see that this was not "cross-training" but more of an ego trip. Good work Hitler and Napoleon....
Why are they planning on having a special meeting on a Monday at 5 PM? Wouldn't this be something that should at least be on the same day of the week as normal meetings? Also, how many people from the public can make it to a meeting at that time, especially if they actually have to work to pay the taxes in this town? And if the Town Board meeting is going to be at the time when they normally have the meeting to set an agenda for said meeting, when will the meeting to actually set the agenda be?
