ALTAMONT — Christine Marshall will be honored on June 28 at 6 p.m. when the parkland at the foot of Maple Avenue Extension is named for her. The triangular green space is planted with exotic grasses.

Marshall, who had served as a trustee on the village board since 2007, died on April 16.

“She always listened very carefully and sought the best balance,” Altamont Mayor James Gaughan said at the time of Marshall’s death from lymphoma. “She weighed decisions for the good of the entire community. She was a woman of great reason. Despite the rationality, her personality was of great humanness. She loved people.”

The person she loved best was her spouse of 35 years, Deb Hext. “She definitely gave much more than she got back,” said Hext. “She would do anything for anyone at a moment’s notice.”

Marshall’s seat on the five-member village board has not been filled.

“I’m still actively looking for an appropriate appointment,” the mayor said last week. “I haven’t succeeded. I’m willing to talk to anyone.”

Gaughan went on, “Many village residents are very interested and supportive…but getting then to take the next step is hard.”

He also said, “I feel like, if we had a controversy, everyone would get motivated to run….”

— Held a public hearing on the first two proposed local laws of the year — one to prohibit illicit discharges, activities, and connections to a separate storm-sewer system, and the other regulating stormwater management practices;

— Approved recommendations of the Altamont-Guilderland Referral Committee on Joseph Silvestri’s application to cut two acres at 181 Brandle Road, around a house, from a roughly 95-acre parcel;

— Accepted the resignation of Altamont Fire Department member David Freckleton; and
