Fredonia Department of Public Works Supervisor Tony Gugino is retiring, and the village Board of Trustees acted quickly Monday to hire Scott Marsh as his replacement.
Mayor Douglas Essek began the meeting by reading Gugino’s brief retirement letter. Gugino, Fredonia’s DPW chief since 2018, wrote he was resigning as of June 16 in order to retire so he could spend more time with family.
The trustees accepted Gugino’s letter then went into a 40-minute-long executive session “to discuss the employment history of persons or persons involved with the DPW,” according to the motion of trustee Roger Britz.
