Dave Johnson wanted to know why the Clerk did, not mention the letter he had written to Tom Gryboski. The letter was copied to the clerk and Supervisors. He requested a written letter within 10 days and he has still not received anything stating why he is thought not to be a resident at the time of the Annual Meeting.
Tom G. sent the letter it to the attorney and is under Jim Morrison�s recommendations. If Dave would like information, he should contact the Attorney.
Dave stated he intends to challenge this.
Tom G. stated it to be a personal letter to Tom G. not to the Town.
Denise stated that is was more of a personal letter to Tom G. That is why it was not brought up under correspondence.
Dave also inquired as to the letter he had written in regards to an appointment (referencing Adriane Bartels to Plan Commission Committee) and that he will challenge the appointment.
