RENSSELAERVILLE — The town board kicked off its re-organizational meeting on Sunday by swearing in its newest member, Robert Bolte, who was elected in November.

“Now that we’ve got your signature, you’re locked in,” joked Judge Victor LaPlante after Bolte took the oath of office, right hand raised. Bolte then took his seat at the dais alongside the other board members.

Judge Timothy Miller, who defeated Myra Dorman in the November election, was soon sworn in as well.

In addition to making its annual appointments, the board voted to change its monthly meeting date from the second Thursday of the month to the second Tuesday, with its monthly work meeting to take place the previous Thursday.

Supervisor Marie Dermody then selected Councilman Gary Chase as her deputy supervisor. Dermody did not return phone calls this week about why she proposed changing the monthly meeting date, or why she chose Chase as her deputy this year, rather than Assessor Jeffry Pine, who was her deputy last year.
