enough to accept it again. I thank you all

JODY ADAM: Really?
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Yes. We could have had you address it at that
time, and it was my error, which I readily admit to. I didn't think about
asking those if they would like to address the Board. I think at that
point we just had the two. .
JODY ADAMS: If you had it listed on your agenda it would have helped.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: It would have. Yes, thank you. It would have.
But we certainly. .
TOWN CLERK TERRY: It's my fault.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: I realize it's been passed on, but you are
certainly welcome to make comment.
JODY ADAMS: I'll make a comment now, and then probably make 'it
again. I would like to have heard the. . known more about the contract with
your Court Stenographers, and I think a lot of the stuff as you read off
is too abbreviated for us to listen to. You know, I mean, you just cut
off, and half the information you need to understand it isn't there.
Maybe I can get it, not on Court Stenographer, but in generally. But the
Court Stenographers, I think, are important, and should be discussed
prior to any contract. It's a little late.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: They function according to their contract, and
we're familiar with that, although you may not be. So, I apologize for
that also. We can give you that information if you would like.
JODY ADAMS: Yes, I would.
SUPERVISOR COCHRAN: Anyone else like to make a comment to the
Board? No? (No response. ) Hearing none, I call for a motion to adjourn.

RESOLVED that the Town Board meeting be and hereby adjourned at .
1 :33 P.M.
