Supervisor Travers Murphy stated the Town Board has not discussed the meeting minutes as a group, but that she thinks the Town Clerk has done a great job for the last 2 ½ years and she has found the minutes to be helpful when she refers to them. She also feels the meetings should be televised, and said Verizon and Time Warner are willing to do this for the Town.
Councilwoman Ackerman stated it is important to have an open government, and an opportunity for people to speak and to express their opinion. But, the civility of the Town Board meetings declined through the last year, and in order to prevent altercations during meetings the Town Board decided to impose measures that would help keep the meetings civil. This puts the Town Board on the defensive, as individuals can get up and say anything they want, but the Board members will not respond. As to the minutes, they are a record, not a transcript. She feels the Town Clerk works hard to try to present a fair and objective record of what happens at the meetings. In review of the last set of minutes approved, each persons name was stated, the subject they were there on, and their opinion, was stated
Councilman David Kaczor wished to remind everyone that the 4th of July parade. He thanked all who helped with the Triathlon that was held last weekend, which was a huge success. Councilman Kaczor said that he spoke to the Town Clerk regarding the minutes and encouraged her to talk to other Town Clerks who deal with the same issue of a large amount of input from the community. The minutes that everyone reacted to were truncated versions of the minutes, but he said that in reviewing the minutes approved this evening, they are more in tune with identifying individuals, along with the issue the individual brought to the table, and he hopes the minutes as reflected today will continue.
Councilman Dietrick stated that he had no prior knowledge, nor has not been part of any discussion regarding the change in the minutes. It is his understanding, that as a separate elected official, it would be inappropriate for the Town Board to put pressure on the Town Clerk. On the issue of televising the Town Board meetings, he said he is not in favor of free political advertisement for politicians at tax payers expense.
Town Clerk, Janis Colarusso, stated that almost everyone that spoke from the floor this evening has handed in a copy of their statement, and that is what she had previously asked individuals to do. The comments will be copied to the Town Board members and filed in the Town Clerk’s office. She then read a prepared statement in which she outlined the law regarding minutes and how other Town Clerk’s within Erie County handle citizens’ remarks at the Board meetings. She stated that she will list peoples’ names, their issues and their opinions, and prepare the minutes in truthful, honest and professional manner in accordance with New York State Law.
