Tusten board proposes four-year clerk term

By TOM KANE

NARROWSBURG — Two years isn’t enough.

“The job of the town clerk is becoming more and more technical and requires more training than previously so. A four-year term makes sense,” said Tusten Supervisor Dick Crandall. “When you get someone trained, it’s time for another election.”

Other board members agreed during the town meeting on April 9. A public hearing will be held at the next town board meeting on May 14, at 7:15 p.m., to include the term change on the November ballot.

In other town business, the board announced that Litterpluck—a day dedicated to clearing roads of litter—will be held countywide on May 5.

“We’ll have a truck at the former land fill site all day to collect the garbage and take it to the landfill,” Crandall said.
