Two Ramapo Board Members Claim Final Resolutions about two Recently Created Jobs Were not the Jobs Described to Them During the Vote--Both Call for an Investigation March 3, 2014 At a recent Town Board meeting, Melinda Mallia, a daughter of Building Inspector Anthony Mallia, was appointed as a temporary clerical assistant, and Bernard Charles Jr., husband of Town Board member Brendel Charles, as a $5,000-a-month public affairs consultant. Town Board member Daniel Friedman said the board approved those appointments, but details of their job descriptions are different from their understanding. The positions voted on by the board were drastically changed, resulting in taxpayer dollars being spent against the will of the Town Board, Friedman tweeted Monday. Late Monday afternoon, Friedman sent out a letter to Town Attorney Michael Klein calling for investigation. I would like your investigation to detail what individuals altered the employment details of these hires in the resolution that was written after the vote, Friedman wrote in the letter. He was joined by his fellow Town Board member Patrick Withers. What has happened with these positions is not at all what was voted on by us on the Town Board, Withers said in his written comment sent via email. Any violation of a Town Board vote is unacceptable, and that is why I join the call for an investigation into this matter immediately. Complete Journal News here. (Read the full text of the two resolutions which Friedman and Withers say were drastically changed from what they voted on at the Jan 16 Board Meeting and the letter calling for an investigation--both here.)
