Town board member David recuses himself from matters involving employee Lewis Slater

At the start of the meeting, the chair asked if any member needed to recuse themselves from items on the agenda. Board member David stated he would "recuse myself from anything, to do with, Lewis Slater." The chair acknowledged the recusal and proceeded to other business.

David framed the declaration as a preventive step tied to a personal employment relationship with Lewis Slater. The transcript records no formal challenge or motion against that specific recusal during the session. The meeting continued with routine procedural business after the disclosure.
