Dear Village Folks:

So, Cornwall-on-Hudson will have a new administration come April 5. Jim Gagliano will become mayor and Bill Braine will become a trustee. Dave Carnright will continue as trustee. Good luck to the Village Board!

The Village Board will hold its Business Meeting Monday, March 22. The board will set a public hearing for a proposed short-term rentals law for its April 19 Business Meeting. The draft law will be posted on the Village website soon.

Spring arrives Saturday with temperatures around 60. Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Brendan Coyne

Mayor

Dear Village Folks:

I’m happy to confirm that online payment of utility bills (water, sewer and garbage) will begin in April. More details will be available soon.

The board passed the Police Reform Plan at its March 8 Work Session. The board made a few minor changes. I sent the plan to Albany the next day. Again, thanks to the members of the committee. 

We also discussed the proposed short-term rental law at the work session and suggested some changes. We hope to post the proposed law next week. The Public Hearing on the proposed law will be postponed to our April 19 Business Meeting.

The Village Election is Tuesday, March 16, from noon to 9 p.m. at Village Hall.

Enjoy the spring-like weather and have a good weekend.

All the best,

Brendan Coyne

Mayor

Changing the clocks has become a good time to check and replace smoke detectors in our home ( now it includes carbon monoxide detectors).

Please check and install the necessary detectors.

Dear Village Folks:

The next Village Work Session is Monday, February 8, via teleconference. The agenda includes the Police Reform Plan. The Police Reform Committee has worked over the course of three months and I believe the plan is appropriate for a small Village like ours that has a low crime rate. I am grateful to the 13 members of the committee. The Village must file its plan in Albany by April 1.

We will hope discuss the proposed short-term rental law. We plan to hold a Public Hearing on the proposed law at our March 22 Business Meeting.

The Village Election is Tuesday, March 16, from noon to 9 p.m. at Village Hall. Registration day is tomorrow, Saturday, March 6, from noon to 5 p.m. at Village Hall.

The weather has been back and forth, typical of March. But warmer days are coming and spring will soon be here so we can get out more often.

Have a good weekend!

All the best,

Brendan Coyne

Mayor
