Village Trustee Barbara ‘Charlie’ Murphy attended her final meeting on Monday; the election was on Tuesday to see who would replace her on the board. Murphy served one year as an appointed member of the board, and then was elected twice, serving a total of six years. She was praised for her service to the community at the meeting, and presented with a plant by Mayor Joe D’Onofrio.
Mayor Joe D’Onofrio opened his Village Board meeting Monday by asking those in attendance — exactly 10 people, including board members, as allowed by new federal guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19 — to stand and give an ovation to doctors, nurses, EMS workers, volunteers and so many others who are on the “front lines” of keeping Americans safe right now.
