by Kieron Kramer
There were only four Berlin Town Board Members at the Town Board meeting on Thursday, October 13. Jim Saunders was not present because he had resigned from the Board at the Workshop meeting held in late September. He had appeared at the workshop, handed over his letter of resignation before the meeting started and left, according to Town Supervisor Rob Jaeger. Saunders had served on the Board since being elected in 2005 and still had two years to serve on his present term. No reason for Saunders’ resignation was given. After announcing the news at Thursday’s meeting Jaeger said, “We thank James for his time and effort to be on the Board; not everyone always agrees, but it is a big commitment to be on the Board.”
