RE: Special Meeting
At the February meeting of the Town Board some items were left unresolved. Town Supervisor Gordon Ireland is calling a Special Meeting of the Town Board for
Thursday, February 26th @ 7 p.m. at the Spafford Town Hall. The following items will be on the agenda:
- Discuss the shortfall in funding for the new grader
- Town Justice position
- Historical Society grant support letter
-
In accordance with Town Law, Article 4, §62 - 2 "…The supervisor of any town may,…, call a special meeting of the town board by giving at least two days
notice in writing to members of the board of the of the time when and the place
where the meeting is to be held…"
Due to the publishing schedule of the Skaneateles Press, notice of this meeting will not appear until the day before the meeting is to be held. Notice has
been posted on the outside bulletin board at the Town Hall.
Respectfully,
Lisa M. Valletta,
Spafford Town Clerk

TIM
GREEN'S NEW BOOK SET IN SKANEATELES 
 Skaneateles author, Tim Green,
at a recent book signing at Barnes & Noble in Dewitt, signed a copy of his
newest book, "The Fourth Perimeter, " for the Borodino Bullett's
own Joe Vecchio.
Joe's assignment for the Bullett was:
purchase and read the paperback, and peruse for any negative references to JET
SKIS.
Joe also represents The Citizens to Protect
Jet Skis, a volunteer task force which advocates responsible PWC use, and
promotes their fair treatment in the press.
Unlike most of the people in line, Joe
Vecchio had actually read the new book, and had marked Page 224 for Tim
Green to sign.
...'Two jet skis were noisily tearing up the
water down closer to the village, and another fishing boat half a mile away to
the south trolled steadily...' page 224
Joe says Tim gave his blessing to use his jet
ski again this summer on Skaneateles Lake. As long as he stays away from his
lakefront home..
