Ken Runion on Open Government |
|
Mark Redlich and Warren Grimm claim Ken Runion abruptly adjourned a Guilderland town board meeting. This was due to the poor conduct of Mark Grimm and Warren Redlich. Warren Redlich and Mark Grimm attacked several people who came to speak at the public comment period. An hour had passed and the town board was unable to get to the first agenda item. This wasn't the first meeting that this type of conduct was displayed by Warren Redlich and Mark Grimm. As it was apparent the Guilderland town board was not going to accomplish anything, the meeting was adjourned.
There is no police review board as alleged by Mr. Grimm and Mr. Redlich. Board members serve as liaisons to various town departments. There is no requirement that there be town board liaisons to any department. The liaisons to the police department are Pat Slavick and Paul Pastore. They meet regularly with the departments they have been assigned to. They have earned such positions due to their hard work on the Town Board and their dedication to the Town.
On the other hand, neither Mr. Grimm nor Mr. Redlich have met with one of the departments they are assigned to as liaisons since taking office 14 months ago.
UPDATE: About two weeks ago, after Mark Grimm had announced that he may run for Town Supervisor, he did come to Town hall and meet with a few of the department heads.
