Carmel Town Board Won’t Replace DiCarlo
The Carmel Town Board will be one member short in 2011, as the board has decided not to appoint a fourth councilman to take over the seat vacated by Putnam County Legislator Anthony DiCarlo, Supervisor Ken Schmitt said.

Carmel will save $18,849.50 from the position’s salary; the main motive for keeping the seat open, though, was to avoid breaking up the board’s chemistry, board members said.
In the first meeting of the year Wednesday, with Councilwoman Suzi McDonough on vacation, every resolution passed unanimously.
