Potsdam’s Bob Burns, a retired village administrator and former village trustee, spoke with Potsdam Town Supervisor Marie Regan on how services might be shared between the town and village as outlined in the alternatives to dissolution in the Dissolution Study Committee’s report.

The first program on alternatives to dissolution, taped on Oct. 21, airs again at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 1, with Bob Burns, along with Michele Arnold and Alex Jacobs of the Dissolution Study Committee.
