Civic Issues
Topics getting the most attention in Town of Clifton Park public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
5 issues in public safety
State Police presence and public safety building
A new MOU keeps State Police in the public safety building through 2040, with extra space after CAPTAIN relocates — boosting coverage in southern Saratoga County.
Investigation of Personnel Complaints and Information Leaks
Residents blasted the Town over a sexual harassment investigation completed in under two weeks without some witnesses interviewed, Kevin Dailey's public statement, and months of FOIL delays over work-hour records. Trust and transparency are the core issues.
Town Official Work Hours and FOIL Requests
Ann Connolly says her FOIL request for Kevin Dailey's work-hour records has been delayed repeatedly since August, raising allegations of falsified state time records and questioning why Deputy Town Attorney Luibrand now holds the request.
Town Ethics Board Composition and Legal Disputes
Residents challenged the Board majority's public statements as potential ethics violations, questioned changes to the ethics code made by resolution, and pressed for recusal of Councilman Fantini on matters involving the Town Clerk's office — his wife's office. The Deputy Town Attorney agreed to issue a written opinion.
Regulation of Electric Bicycles (E-Bikes) on Town Roads and Trails
The Board created a volunteer committee for a townwide trails and bike/ped plan — but Supervisor Barrett argued the Town already has more trails than any Capital Region community and the plan money is wasted. Residents questioned whether all trails are wanted and how committee members were picked.
