ONEONTA
City of Oneonta community members who call themselves Citizens That Care held their own Town Hall meeting on Sunday, March 3, in response to not feeling heard by Common Council members and Mayor Mark Drnek at a city-sponsored Town Hall on February 27. Their concerns were largely regarding the proposed Rehabilitation Support Services housing project at 27 Market Street.
Invitations to the CTC Town Hall—organized by City of Oneonta Fourth Ward resident Luisa Montanti and Eighth Ward resident and event moderator Dan Buttermann—were sent to greater Oneonta residents, as well as to City of Oneonta Common Council members and Otsego County district representatives. Officials in attendance were Bryce Wooden (Seventh Ward), Don Mathisen (Eighth Ward) and Jill Basile (Otsego County District 14, covering the Seventh and Eight wards). Overall attendance was estimated at 80-100 people.
