The first regular Berlin Town Board meeting of 2015 took place at the Municipal Complex at 17563 Route 22 on Thursday, January 8, with a sparser crowd than usual, probably because it was the first bitterly cold day of the new year. The Town’s organizational meeting was held prior to this meeting even though it was originally scheduled for Monday, January 5. “People [Town Board members] didn’t want to come out twice this week,” Town Supervisor Rob Jaeger said, explaining the rescheduling.

The tail end of the lingering snowstorm on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 9 and 10, had its effect on the Berlin Town Board meeting on Thursday, December 11. Not only was attendance at the meeting dampened but Jim Winn, who is Berlin Highway Superintendent as well as the Supervisor of Water District #2, missed the meeting because he was either still out on the roads tidying up the plowing and sanding in Town, or, as Town Supervisor Rob Jaeger said, he was recovering from his prodigious efforts. Board Member John Winn, who works for the State Highway Department, also missed the meeting, presumably for the same reason. Because Jim Winn was absent there was no Water District #2 or Highway Department report.
