There was a big discussion about whether a police officer was allowed to be granted a Competitive Classification. The Town of Fishkill operates a part time 24-7 PD. The PBA contract with the town does not cover such. PBA representatives stated that this was a breach of contract as this officer was granted a special privilege that was not granted to everyone else.
Voting yes were Supervisor LaColla, Councilman Buck and Councilman Curry.
Voting no were Councilman Callahan and Councilman Tuttle.
It also appears that the PBA will be filing a lawsuit against the town for this action.
Also, a Public Hearing is set for August 7th 2013 in regard to raising sewer rates from $41.40 a unit to $97.29. This is in regard to paying off debt. I asked the board if they were going to notify the public by mail. They said no and indicated they were going to do a Public Notice.
