Officials said the water system serves roughly 498 active customer connections and that the town submitted an initial report in October. The board reported outreach to customers, including a request sent with water bills for customers to photograph their service entry points; that effort reduced the number of \"unknown\" service connections. At an earlier water‑board meeting staff reported roughly 37 unknowns; the number was lower in subsequent follow‑up work. Officials said houses built after about 1985 are unlikely to have lead service lines and have been removed from the lead‑line census.

The town is required to report findings to state and federal authorities and is coordinating with county and state agencies on methods to achieve compliance where customer response rates remain incomplete. Staff described discussions about statistical approaches the county and state have proposed to provide reasonable assurance in lieu of 100 percent owner responses; officials said they remain confident the town has no lead service lines but must complete the census for regulatory reporting.

The board also reviewed an ongoing question about the town's water tank: whether to repaint and continue maintenance or to replace the tank. Officials said painting the interior of a tank requires a supplemental water supply for affected customers while the work is done, and that repainting guarantees are typically limited (staff stated a typical interior paint life might be 10 to 12 years). New glass‑lined tanks are long‑lived on the interior and require only exterior maintenance but have a higher upfront cost. Board members said updated quotes for both options are expected in the coming weeks before the water board makes a recommendation to the town board on funding and timing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Red Hook Town Council Meeting 02/26/25","oneSentenceSummary","Town reports progress on EPA/state lead‑service‑line census required for public water systems and an ongoing assessment of whether to repaint or replace the town's water tank; officials said more cost estimates are expected before the board decides.","taxTitle","Rhinebeck, Dutchess County, New York","taxId",62384,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6660479,"Red Hook authorizes auction of surplus highway equipment; one item held for Tivoli",125,365355,491005,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2435134-5d68c60273667ddd1e6aa9b6d63caab1&start=365&end=491","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2435134-5d68c60273667ddd1e6aa9b6d63caab1/thumbnail_365355.jpg","/articles/6660479/Rhinebeck/Dutchess-County/New-York/Red-Hook-authorizes-auction-of-surplus-highway-equipment-one-item-held-for-Tivoli","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660479-7a0481a9a5115fb87aa3c14c5218c3ab/orig.mp4?Expires=1770436864&Signature=ZZoJ9DG9yz5-N88kw8kajY~o3Q8IvwFPJG9vswVqYDtK3qGbsWFXFNKy58CC9kvI7A78wGerg1LHHd3w-BXHPGFYkziBNdkl-iHqZ1TTotAEuUYELFbqDyKzJVW4bBg8jniZpHa8ov0-vqHCNn6LBAIYhoWM7en5ElQ4F66cWCJR4VO-~WrZkoAerZ3-DPL8GHIWz4tEWXiXhA2dwmzpbOerv8pybniHr8d7Ca3T3A2lfHEgVM43kh4c-CuhcwDO0t7DPm-dwXSKoHgV8sQ2L0q~ESNghx7Yv3cSRK7ZJLyWN4JZL1vkRZfO18Dcv92wQDHr-KlFbgvkbeG6Or4juw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Red Hook Town Board on Feb. 26 approved Resolution No. 18 authorizing the sale of surplus highway equipment identified by the highway superintendent and recommended for public auction. The town's standard procurement and disposition procedures apply.

During the discussion the board said one item had been removed from the auction list because the Village of Tivoli expressed interest in acquiring it. The board recorded that the town could sell that specific item to Tivoli with a caveat that the town retain backup access to the asset if needed.

The resolution directs disposition of the surplus items through a public auction house and limits the auctioneer's commission to not exceed 10 percent. A town official moved the resolution and it passed on a voice vote recorded in the transcript as \"Aye.\" The meeting record does not contain a roll‑call vote or named vote tallies.

The board noted that all acquisitions and disposals follow the town's procurement procedures.","The Town Board authorized public auction of surplus highway equipment (Resolution No. 18) with an auction commission limit of 10 percent; one item was removed from the list because the Village of Tivoli requested to acquire it as a backup for the town.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6660484,"Red Hook establishes comprehensive‑plan committee, cites Department of State grant and public engagement timetable",542,1963790,2506380,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2435134-5d68c60273667ddd1e6aa9b6d63caab1&start=1963&end=2506","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2435134-5d68c60273667ddd1e6aa9b6d63caab1/thumbnail_1963790.jpg","/articles/6660484/Rhinebeck/Dutchess-County/New-York/Red-Hook-establishes-comprehensiveplan-committee-cites-Department-of-State-grant-and-public-engagement-timetable","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660484-703ac4dd24b1ac27a5173e885a877e86/orig.mp4?Expires=1770436864&Signature=AEOVUAFVImk6--9iAgZCrJacyVEVu502adj40TM5QWuklesOQrfm0lwYb9s-j264eCoz2~RpP4eLgnE4VK9ymYgPfUyBqDKrvD19IWelk6lvONhWoAUUpbe7-hB2H1nsnkSu1GrbJcLFaYFyXjEMLCdr-b3xI3lAUZxlc~8jIy~8m-nVgqFy572e8YRqclXNZ7KDej6jUNEroSaQob5pbshz4D4evfT6O1Mn-u~hnissXBZY9ZAqcy~oYB4d0MXODa0TFBVGfGsRCoCENfkHm5uZ3Lu18~1vVpSPGCmw3K4IBz6LCJUIQOod~xsKejNkG3KFxxpC7ecH2n3rwQ4qLA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Red Hook Town Board on Feb. 26 voted to establish an ad hoc comprehensive‑plan committee to direct an update to the town's 1993 comprehensive plan, a project funded by a grant from the New York State Department of State.

Resolution No. 20 creates a two‑year, 11‑member committee with nonvoting village liaisons and a required planning‑board representative, as specified in the committee outline the board reviewed. The committee will work with a town‑selected planning consultant and is expected to meet monthly with additional working groups between full meetings; board members estimated the public engagement and drafting process will run roughly 18 to 24 months.

\"A comprehensive plan sets a long‑range vision for land use in the town,\" a presenter said, describing the update as an effort to document where the town wants to be in the future and to center public input. The board emphasized multiple opportunities for public engagement: a website form currently linked from the town's departments page, public events, working groups, and liaisons from existing town committees.

Committee membership will be appointed by the town board; members are expected to be representative of the community, to bring varied backgrounds and perspectives, and to undertake regular tasks including research, review of drafts, and outreach. The committee is explicitly ad hoc and will dissolve after the plan is adopted. The board also indicated it will provide a part‑time paid secretary to support the committee's administrative work.

During the meeting the board said it intends to go into executive session later in the agenda to discuss hiring particular firm(s) that responded to the request for proposals for the smart growth comprehensive plan update. No final consultant selection was made on the record at this meeting.

A motion to create the committee carried on a voice vote; the transcript records a unanimous voice vote with no roll call.","The board created an ad hoc comprehensive plan committee to steer an 18–24 month update funded by a New York State Department of State grant; the board also signaled it will discuss hiring consultant firms in executive session.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6660489,"Red Hook board adopts revised mass‑gathering application, clarifies noise‑hours discretion",1069,501790,1571510,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2435134-5d68c60273667ddd1e6aa9b6d63caab1&start=501&end=1571","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2435134-5d68c60273667ddd1e6aa9b6d63caab1/thumbnail_501790.jpg","/articles/6660489/Rhinebeck/Dutchess-County/New-York/Red-Hook-board-adopts-revised-massgathering-application-clarifies-noisehours-discretion","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660489-f1870111c567890e6b6dcec37de280e8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770436864&Signature=fFIbmX4WoiBsMv2BOW7pP0ZW~E5u94WGWtadryfdEmb8-SiXdPfXodTtzasWOjr0LXvjzYOmllo-h6xp9bYRzPly1kZUOkgpWn~ln7MZ0LeOA584H5TFX-TVlA0ZeXIrcqRaToT3Q7xlLdYDzEbH3AppqwPYfaxl9G1zNNt5jhFYkmfwR4QDXjnsJ9CIbuutIbCxgW6OK2A~I~UHNZ-BdiNIvwhij9UWjMbjPpnRpJTVj9FV~qpuxmOEKNYFym3c2ga1Gan5MfQWz4VRMsThpMAhJv50-erWdknn4wrg1FedpqzBFbq2~BcCkZtPneDqmfU6-nc9UiNLMuQLpm0WAQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Red Hook Town Board on Feb. 26 adopted an updated mass‑gathering application tied to Chapter 44 of the town code and added clarifying language that extended hours or amplification are exceptions subject to the board's discretion.

The new form, adopted as Resolution No. 19, is intended to make the permitting process easier for organizers of large events (the board cited the Redwood Pool regional meet as an example) while preserving the town board's ability to impose special conditions on any permit. Supporters said the form pulls required language from the town's local law into a single document to help applicants complete requests.

Board members spent the bulk of the discussion on how the form describes allowable hours for amplified sound and its relationship to the existing noise ordinance. \"Our town code already has a definition or requirements of noise above certain decibels; you can't do that after 10 p.m.,\" Town Board member Bill Campbell said, noting a passage in the draft that mentions uses between \"midnight and 9 a.m.\" and calling that inconsistent with the town's noise rules. Other board members said the chapter governing large assemblies already gives the board discretion to grant exceptions to the noise ordinance for specific events.

After back-and-forth about reader clarity, the board directed staff to add explicit language in the application stating that the listed hours are outside limits and that any exception to the regular noise ordinance must be authorized by the town board as a special condition. Members also clarified trigger thresholds on the form: the application treats gatherings of 500 people and events longer than eight hours differently from gatherings of 1,000 people, which require a permit regardless of duration; that distinction drew questions and was explained during the discussion.

Following the edits, a motion to adopt the revised application as modified carried on a voice vote. The minutes record a unanimous voice vote; no roll call or detailed vote tally was provided in the transcript.

What the board did not do at this meeting was amend the town code itself; members noted that changes to the code could be reflected in the application if the board later chose to alter the law. The board also agreed the form should include a visible disclaimer up front that the town may impose special conditions and that hours and amplification will be evaluated case by case.","The Town of Red Hook adopted a standardized application for large assemblies (Chapter 44) and added language to clarify that extended amplification hours are exceptions subject to board approval, after members raised concerns the form could be read as a blanket permit.","actionData","errors"]
