Amsterdam Mayor proposes appointing deputy city clerk, opposing alderwoman raises concerns in a pending public hearing.
Tensions are rising in Amsterdam, NY, over a proposal to make the deputy city clerk's position an appointment by the Common Council. Alderwoman Kelly Quist-Demars opposes the late introduction of this local law amendment, arguing it lacks clarity and sidesteps civil service requirements. Mayor Michael Cinquanti supports the change, citing the need for continuity after recent vacancies. A public hearing is scheduled for October 1 before potential adoption.
