On the agenda is a resignation from the town's attorney, Bill Conboy, as well as a vote to appoint Javid Afzali as his replacement. Afzali officially resigned as Knox's attorney last week. 

The town board will also discuss the state Supreme Court's ruling that its vote to remove Emily Vincent as a full member of the planning board was illegal, and suggests the possibility of an executive session related to that matter.
