Michael Oberdier (known around Town as Bongo Man) has been harassing the Lifeguards at the Beach, Sam at the Library, and Michelle and Youth at the Youth Center. He has been asked by Supervisor Preston not to “hang around” these places and to stop harassing the people. A couple of days ago he was at the Beach harassing the lifeguards again and Superintendent of Parks, Mark Holzer asked him to leave and he refused. Supervisor Preston asked the SP Sergeant in Raybrook how he should handle this situation and he suggested writing a letter notifying him that he is not allowed at any of the Town businesses/functions which he did and gave the letter to Trooper Kyle Kirby to be hand delivered to Michael Oberdier (Bongo Man).

The Town of Keene has requested borrowing the Senior Bus for two Wednesdays in September for two trips to Plattsburgh. All Agree
