From the article:
Election DayPosted by jimj at September 28, 2007 09:03 AM | TrackBackThe Nov. 6 election will feature four candidates for two seats on the town council. Incumbent Carol Schoch is seeking re-election as a member of the Republican party. Also, Sparky Christakos, running as an independent, was endorsed by the Republicans.
Tim Hunt will be running for highway superintendent. Linda Mather, who has been the town clerk for 20 years, is seeking re-election. Both have been endorsed by the Republican party and are running unopposed.
Liz Moran is also running unopposed.
“We’ve made great progress, but we’re not there yet,” Moran said. “The town board and supervisor we elect this fall will be responsible for finishing the job and implementing the plan, and that’s why I want to continue to serve.”
Local Proposition 1
Also on the ballot for Nov. 6 will be a local proposition. The approval of the proposition will abolish the elected position of town highway superintendent as of Jan. 1, 2010 and establish the appointed position of town highway superintendent as of the same date.
The position of the Cazenovia Highway Superintendent has always been decided by public election and has always been a two-year term. If the proposition is approved, the town board will have the power to appoint someone to the position and monitor town highway activities as with any town employee.
