A half-dozen members of the public attended, including Bill Waller, left, and Sydney Waller (not related), at right. In the background are Village Trustee Jim Dean and Marie Ajello, Toddsville. Inset, county Rep. Meg Kennedy, who chairs the committee that developed the county-manager proposal, introduces committee members, from left, county Reps.
