Deputy Supervisor Robert Muesebeck resigned from the Sweden Town Board effective March 22, citing a need to step back from town responsibilities at this time. In his resignation letter, Muesebeck said, “I am proud of the many accomplishments of the Town Board over the past seven years. I am especially proud of our ability to keep our tax levy low while accomplishing infrastructure projects and the expansion of the Sweden Town Park. Many of the Town staff are like family to me and I know they will continue to do a wonderful job serving this community that we love so well.”
Muesebeck has served on the Sweden Town Board since 2014 and was a member of the Sweden Board of Assessment Review for 23 years prior to that. He also served as a Brockport Village Trustee from 1993 through 2000
“Bob carried a heavy load of liaison responsibilities over the past seven years, including the highway department and town park,” said Supervisor Kevin Johnson. “He also worked on the mundane tasks of governance, leading the committees to write and re-write the Solar Farm Law, Battery Energy Storage System law, and updates of the Comprehensive Plan. When he left the Board, he was the longest-serving member, and all of us learned a great deal from him. He will be greatly missed.”
On March 23, the Town Board appointed Gary Sullivan to replace Muesebeck as a councilperson. Sullivan retired in 2018 as a Rochester City Police Department investigator in the major crimes division. His 36-year law enforcement career included three years at the beginning with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department.
Sullivan and his wife, Darlene, live in Sweden Village and have three adult children. Sullivan’s appointment is through December 31, 2021. He will be on the ballot in November for a full four-year term that begins January 1, 2022.
