Accounts payable: The board moved, seconded and approved the supervisor’s request to process accounts payable in the amount of $315,009.71. The motion carried after the board voted “Aye.”

Budget transfers: The board approved the budget officer’s request for year‑to‑date transfers dated April 11, 2025; the board accepted the attached transfer list as information and approved the motion.

Personnel appointment: The board approved hiring Lisa Casiano as a part‑time clerk at $23.50 per hour. Board members said the hourly rate was already included in the previously adopted budget and that the hire replaces a prior clerk who had passed away; attendees described Casiano as the granddaughter of a former town clerk and said she has adapted quickly to the role.

Other routine items approved without substantive debate included scheduling a public scoping session for IWS (see separate article), postponing a chief’s attendance to April 24, and acknowledging a liquor license notice from Social and LLC for Black Dirt (seasonal/limited events). The board also scheduled the consolidated water‑sewer district annual meeting for April 29 at 7 p.m.

Votes: Motions on the accounts payable run, the budget transfers and the personnel appointment were moved, seconded and approved with the board responding “Aye.” Where a roll call was requested for one liquor-license notice, the clerk recorded individual affirmative votes (Councilman Gallo, Council Member Lyons, Council Member Cantabrina and Supervisor Patrick each voted \"Aye\").

Why it matters: Routine fiscal actions authorize payments and reallocate funds to keep town operations current; the personnel appointment fills a clerical vacancy and was budgeted in the town’s prior appropriation.

Next steps: The treasurer/budget officer will process the approved AP run and post minutes and transfer details with the town records.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town Board Meeting.

Council members described the contract as long and noted that appendices and exhibits were not available for initial review. Board members expressed concern about liability language in the contract and whether the municipality could become responsible for funding if county or state support were reduced. One board member urged a cost‑benefit analysis and asked staff to estimate the town’s actual cost to run the Dial‑A‑Bus program so the board can consider budget options if outside funding ends.

Action: The board moved to hold the item over until the attorney completes a full review and to revisit funding implications at a subsequent meeting. No final vote on contract execution was taken.

Why it matters: Dial‑A‑Bus provides transit for residents (including elderly riders) and is relied upon for medical and local trips. Contract terms and funding commitments determine whether the town could face uncovered liabilities if external funding is withdrawn.

Next steps: Attorney review of the contract and its appendices and a requested cost estimate of operating the service; the board will revisit the contract once those materials are available.

During public comment, residents sought a clearer, standalone presentation of the proposed commercial water-district plan, including the location and role of any wastewater treatment plant. Several residents said past presentations and maps had changed over time and requested a full explanation before the board votes on scoping or expansion steps.

Residents warned that opening sewer infrastructure in new areas can enable higher-density residential development, and one commenter urged the board to commission a townwide Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) on traffic and growth impacts before approving sewer expansions. The board said it has put out an RFP and obtained approximately $97,000 toward a townwide traffic study to inform planning decisions.

Supervisor and staff updates provided technical status on other water-related matters: the Green Sands filtration system at Ham Park is operational and being fine-tuned; the town reported 25,000 gallons of clean water in the storage tank. Town staff said a garbage-compliance letter had been issued to a commercial hauler and the hauler had 30 days to comply. Officials also said IWS responded to an environmental review board inquiry, had paid a $6,000 penalty to the EPA in the town’s account and the town believed the EPA matter was closed, pending final confirmation.

Why it matters: Scoping sets the studies and issues an applicant must address as part of environmental review; residents and board members said scoping is the time to require studies that may prevent unexpected growth or infrastructure impacts. Water and sewer decisions affect land use, environmental compliance and future development patterns.

Next steps: IWS public scoping session on April 24; water-sewer annual meeting on April 29. The board said it will ask consultants (Delaware Engineering / LOA referenced in comments) to provide a consolidated presentation when plan elements are finalized so the public can review all moving parts before decisions are taken.

","The Town Board scheduled an IWS public scoping session for April 24 and a water/sewer annual meeting for April 29.

Town Attorney Rory Brady told the board he will incorporate feedback from the planning and code-enforcement attorneys and expects to post a draft on the town website on May 1 so residents have time to read it before the May 8 continued public hearing. Brady said he intends to provide the town board with a proposed final draft around the April 24 board meeting for internal review.

Brady described two approaches discussed earlier — an outright ban versus a permit-based model — and said he had identified potential constitutional challenges (equal protection and dormant commerce clause claims) to a categorical ban but had not found a successful legal challenge to such a ban in his research. He recommended the board weigh enforcement practicality as it decides whether to ban, permit or tightly regulate short-term rentals.

Public commenters and board members pressed several topics Brady said his draft would address: whether owner-occupancy should be required for short-term rentals, carve-outs or special accommodations for working farms, how a county short-term rental registry would be used as presumptive evidence of a rental, and enforcement and hotel-tax collection. Several residents urged owner-occupancy or usage limits rather than an outright ban to allow farmers and homeowners limited flexibility while reducing investor-run, nonresidential short-term rental activity.

Board action: members moved to continue the local laws’ public hearings and set the public hearing date for May 8; the motion passed. Brady asked residents to send written feedback to him and to Mary (town staff) so the board can see public comments without creating an inadvertent quorum discussion by email.

Why it matters: Short-term rental policy affects neighborhood character, enforcement workload and potential tax revenue. The attorney noted the town’s enforcement capacity and legal exposure differ depending on whether the town adopts a permit system (with enforcement pathways) or a full ban that could invite litigation.

Next steps: Brady will circulate his revised draft to the board for internal review, post a draft on the town website on May 1, and bring the item back for the May 8 public hearing and possible vote. The board signaled it will consider written public comments submitted before the meeting but emphasized that material changes identified at the hearing might require referral back to the planning board or additional review.

","The Town of Goshen Town Board opened public hearings on three local laws related to short-term rentals but voted to continue the hearings to May 8 so the town attorney can finalize a revised draft and post it for public comment on May 1. Attorney Rory Brady urged early feedback and warned of potential legal risks for an outright ban.","actionData","errors"]
