Glushko Honored for Longtime Service to the People of Peru

December 11, 2017 – Town Supervisor Peter Glushko, who did not seek reelection, chaired his last town board meeting tonight. On behalf of the board Deputy Town Supervisor Donald McBrayer recalled Glushko’s successes 20 years serving the town, the first 12 years as a counselor then 8 years as town supervisor.

Glushko was elected to the town board in November 1997, taking office on January 1, 1998. Shortly after taking office the board faced the challenge of rebuilding from the infamous 1998 ice storm and Heyworth Village flood. He was elected as town supervisor in 2009, taking office on January 1, 2010. In August 2011 Glushko and Highway Superintendent Michael Farrell led the community’s response to the damage caused by Hurricane Irene. Many other advances have taken place during Glushko’s tenure including the $3 million water system improvements, the walking trail and connecting trails, the dog park, relocation of town court and purchase of the Lyon Street School.

Supervisor Glushko thanked everyone saying the progress was not made by any one person but by everyone working together. He emphasized, “It is not a one-man show.” He closed by wishing everyone, especially incoming Supervisor Brandy McDonald, good luck.

McBrayer presented Glushko with a beautiful plaque to commemorate his service.  Click here to view the meeting.
