Supervisor moved and was seconded by Councilwoman Benway. Supervisor believes that the AOT is recommending the name actually be used, not the office; the Town must remember going forward. Councilman Norris asked, if not done, Town wouldn’t be entitled to it; Supervisor added would not be on notice with the DOS of who the correct party is. Attorney Wukitsch agreed not as large an issue in this part of the state. The adoption of the foregoing Resolution was duly put to a vote, and upon roll call, the vote was as follows: ROLL CALL VOTE: BENWAY-AYE FINKE-AYE MEREDITH-Absent NORRIS-AYE O’RORKE-AYE Adopted
