Month: September 2020

After an unavoidable delay the Town Board, late last week, was able to meet and finish the interviews for the replacement of Supervisor Tom Huetter.

The Board would like to thank all the participants. Any one of which would have made a good addition and served the community well. We unfortunately had to select one based on criteria that we had established for the selection.

The person selected by the Board was Brandon Holewinski. Mr. Holewinski will be sworn in before the October 13^th normal Town Board meeting.

Again the Board would like to Thank the other participants: Brian Verheyden, Stan Kaczmarek, Jim Pyle, Renee Holewinski, Helen Wagner and Brad Naparalla.

Last night’s Town Board meeting was Supervisor Tom Huetter’s last meeting. The room was happy for Tom and his wife Betty as they enter this new phase of their lives, wishing them all the best, but also sad to see them go.

Tom was presented with a Town Board Resolution acknowledging his 40 years worth of contributions and a memorial clock to help him remember his time here.

The Town wishes them all the best.

In accordance with state law the remaining Town Board members and Clerk form the selection committee to choose the replacement for the vacancy being created by the retirement of Supervisor Huetter.

The selection committee will be following the below steps to fill this position:

1. The committee will review the initial requests sent into the clerk by the candidates.
2. A Public meeting will be held on September 10^th, 2020 starting at 6 pm where a short interview will be held with each interested candidate.
   1. Each candidate will be given a time to come to the meeting.
   2. The interview will last roughly 20 minutes
   3. The candidate will be asked questions and then they may give a brief statement about themselves. The board may deviate from the questions based on the candidate’s responses.
   4. While the interview process is open to the public and the candidates have every right to attend the full meeting understand that candidates have been told that listening to the other candidates might reflect poorly in front of the selection committee.
3. After all interviews are complete candidates will be invited back into the community room for the selection discussion.

After the interviews, the committee will discuss and make a selection for appointment to fill the position. The successful candidate will be sworn in at the October 13^th, 2020 regular Town Board Meeting.

A special thanks is due to several people for the work done in the Pittsfield Cemetery. A group has worked hard to clean and straighten veteran headstones. Many of these stones had to be raised, cleaned, and straightened.  This group led by Mike Sheedy included veterans, students, and other caring citizens.

Their work in the cemetery to honor the contributions of these veterans has been incredible. You will see by the attached photos the fruits of their work. This group has also been placing flags in the cemetery over the past years.

Please join the Town in a special thanks specifically to: Mike Sheedy, Sarah Hockers-Schmoll, Brian Harrison, Ken Oldenburg, and Mark Baudhuin
