VERNON — George Fetko, lately the public works director in Ellington, blasted his former employer, Republican Mayor Jason L. McCoy, for acting unprofessionally in his failure to hire a fulltime replacement following his resignation from a similar post in March.
He added: “Six months later, the Public Works Department still has no fulltime director. This reinforces the reasons why I left — this administration does not have the experience or the knowledge to recognize the importance of this department.”
Fetko’s letter goes on to accuse McCoy of ignoring two public works employees who volunteered to take over for him while the mayor sought a fulltime replacement. Meanwhile, David Tomko is presently serving as the interim public works director.
When reached by e-mail for comment Friday McCoy said that Fetko told him that no one on his staff was qualified to serve as public works director on an interim or permanent basis and that no existing employees would be interested in applying for the post fulltime.

Vernon, 15 July 2009: Democratic mayoral candidate Michele Arn wants to hear ideas from Vernon townspeople about what the town’s energy efficiency and clean energy policies should be. Vernon is eligible for up to $110,767 in Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants (EECBG) under the federal American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) stimulus effort, but must submit a specific proposal for funding by September 15. While the current town administration theoretically has an Energy Efficiency Committee to address just this question, this committee has not met or held any public hearings, to the knowledge of Town Council members or Vernon’s 20% by 2010 local clean energy contact Jeff Boulrice.
