Athelstane Board to Add Public Comment Issue Date: June 20, 2019 The regular monthly meeting of the Athelstane Town Board was called to order by Chairman Kelly Barnes on Tuesday, June 11 at 7 PM in the town hall.
Chairman Barnes called for a moment of silence for our Animal Control Officer, Ryker Plosczynski, who we lost in an accident a few weeks ago. Roll call of officers was taken with all officers present. There were eight people in attendance. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.
In Communications, Barnes said Public Comment was not on the agenda. When he took office last fall, Public Comment was not on the agenda, but he brought it back with the stipulation that everyone respects each other. He is in favor of Public Comment to find out any concerns or issues people are having that can be addressed. However, at last month's meeting, his authority was not only challenged, but ignored. So, Public Comment will not be on the agenda for a while, but he would like to bring it back at some point in time, because it is advantageous to everyone involved.
There is an encroachment problem on a road. The problem will be identified by a free survey which will benefit the property owners, who currently have a clouded title because of the encroachment.
Barnes clarified that survey methods have not changed " tools have changed, now there is GPS that makes it easier.
