Eccleston resigns from Greene village board
GREENE – With regret and gratitude, Greene Mayor Marcia Miller accepted the resignation of Trustee Morris “Moe” Eccleston at a meeting of the municipality’s governing body held Monday night at the Village Hall.
In a letter to the board, read by Miller, the former Chenango County Sheriff announced his intention to step down from his position on the village board effective Nov. 9. In explanation of his planned departure, Eccleston said he will be pursuing a “new venture” which will require him to travel extensively outside of the state.
“I tried to do my best,” said Eccleston, adding that he had enjoyed his time as a trustee and would not rule out a return to the board at some point.
In his letter of resignation, he penned, “It will give me great pleasure to serve again in the future, if the opportunity presents itself.”
Miller thanked Eccleston for his years of service, making special note of his contributions as liaison with the municipality’s police and fire departments and his role in establishing the village’s emergency operations procedures.
“I will personally miss all of your spirited discussions,” the mayor said, before presenting the former law enforcement officer with a token of the village’s appreciation.
“We are going to miss you, Moe, guaranteed,” said Trustee Rod Andrews, following the presentation.
Eccleston, who has served as a trustee since April of 2006, will remain on the board until 7 p.m. on Nov. 9. At that time, Miller said, Greene resident Bob Hubbard will be sworn in to serve out the remainder of Eccleston’s term of office, due to expire March 31, 2010.
Hubbard, a nine year resident of the village, was born and raised in Chenango County. Last year, he retired after 42 years with the Raymond Corporation. Active in the volunteer fire service since he was a teenager, Hubbard is a past fire chief with the Chenango Forks Fire Department. He is currently an active member of the Greene Volunteer Fire Department, where he holds the office of treasurer.
“I was surprised when they approached me,” said Hubbard, who said he was looking forward to serving the village in his new capacity.
