The board clarified the RFP is exploratory and does not commit the town to any procurement or aggregate contract; any final decision would return to the board for approval after members review bids.

Several board members and staff noted the RFP draft is lengthy and will require review before publication. The town attorney was authorized to prepare a final version and incorporate board and staff edits; staff emphasized the process is intended to surface numbers and options for discussion rather than obligate residents or the town to a particular vendor.

What’s next: Attorney to prepare final RFP language, staff to circulate to board members for review, and the town will issue the solicitation once counsel and staff agree on the final draft.

Appointments: The board voted to appoint Natalie Welsh, who ranks number one on the current Orange County civil-service list, as a full-time police officer. Chief Post had recommended Welsh; staff noted she is enrolled at the Orange County Police Academy and is expected to be sworn in for department duty during late June and complete academy graduation in July.

The board also approved hiring Jonathan (Jonathan Barajas), a candidate who ranks number two on the civil-service list, as a part-time officer once he completes Ulster Police Academy training. Both candidates were introduced during the meeting.

K-9 position: The board approved a motion to create a part-time K-9 officer position. The agenda described the K-9 slot as a part-time assignment; the board moved to establish the position and approved it by vote.

Training and equipment: Police staff told the board recent grant funding supplied updated in-car tablets and vehicle workstations and that the department had received funding for technology upgrades. The chief also reported the department secured an $7,329 training grant (IRPO) to fund training on extreme risk orders of protection and other training needs.

What’s next: The two officers will enter department training schedules; staff said they expect the new hires to be incorporated into patrol coverage and training blocks as they complete required academy phases. The K-9 position will require further operational planning, training protocols and budget details for procurement and assignment.","The Town of Goshen approved hiring Natalie Welsh as a full-time police officer and Jonathan Barajas as a part-time officer; the board also approved creating a part-time K-9 officer position.",{"_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},6545247,"Town, village approve intermunicipal agreement to finish Erie Park renovation after $450,000 CREST grant",566,4646000,5212000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3797990-03cf38f8b8276ce48dcc60834559a3cd&start=4646&end=5212","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3797990-03cf38f8b8276ce48dcc60834559a3cd/thumbnail_4646000.jpg","/articles/6545247/Goshen/Orange-County/New-York/Town-village-approve-intermunicipal-agreement-to-finish-Erie-Park-renovation-after-450000-CREST-grant","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545247-60d6b16554972fac4c7046827e5caaf2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770445686&Signature=ZyZxuk6RLMtnCvOZRprkMs6WmB8Tg4Ze~Kgbx~MPwJ1w7FkNIu3pHJnibhwwMRWeSsayoqIVHeUpLSx9Kyvc1NiL7Xs9rFQhuoNUXCFK6XYdUUks7FoGOAEn6dXaJWoE9vY1UmB1osoH-Y5ieJlcEpWSYHQgvo-bwb3wXhRQSUIVjLSrAKHB9Ax0yjYn9oIfbiCjzoBLvn2SPakKyUJ~guiLNnegjYPV9ZO89w8YD1fSCEKTYwpCIUUrDfEZqrxWjk2KXKjxEsZYhaqfcsNAdd~uoFKewWABkfhgKfUM261OynUHTaQeDQ5RAtu5ooUrafDz~T3hOkVxK-6N5RvbTA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Goshen board on June 12 approved an intermunicipal agreement (IMA) with the Village of Goshen to move forward with renovations at Erie Park, a project funded in large part by a $450,000 CREST grant.

Town recreation staff and village representatives described the planned improvements as two rehabilitated basketball courts, two pickleball courts, a 30-by-30 pavilion (donated), a new restroom building, renovated soccer field, replacement playground surfacing with poured-in-place rubber and new fencing. Melissa (town staff) and Molly (village representative) said the park serves both village and town residents and had been the subject of a joint grant application.

Funding and cost discussion: Town staff presented an estimated total project cost of $589,873 and said the CREST grant award was $450,000, leaving an uncovered balance. Staff presented a spreadsheet distributed to board members that shows the remaining balance and proposed that the town and village share costs in excess of the grant. Melissa told the board the town’s portion was shown on the handout as $99,000; Molly later reported late revised contractor pricing that reduced one line-item and brought down the town share somewhat (Molly said an updated quote reduced a sub-total to $93,783 split between the two municipalities).

Board members and the town attorney discussed mechanics of payment and documentation in the IMA, and staff said previously incurred village expenses were included in the project accounting. The board asked that the IMA include a not-to-exceed figure and the supporting spreadsheet so both parties and the public can see the breakout of costs; attorneys will finalize the IMA language and minor clerical corrections before signature.

The board voted to approve the IMA subject to final attorney and numeric verification and authorized the supervisor to sign. Town officials said the village’s JRC board planned to approve the playground equipment selection at its next meeting, and staff expect construction to proceed once contracts are finalized and permits issued.

What’s next: Staff will finalize the IMA language, attach the updated cost spreadsheet as an exhibit with a not-to-exceed number, and return the signed agreement after clerical and legal review. The town will pay invoices as submitted and expect reimbursement or final accounting consistent with the CREST grant terms.","The Town of Goshen approved an intermunicipal agreement with the Village of Goshen to complete Erie Park renovations funded primarily by a $450,000 CREST grant; remaining costs will be shared between the town and village and final figures were updated at the meeting.",{"_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},6545252,"Town Board continues public hearing on short-term rental local law to July 10 after mixed public comments",1596,2955000,4551000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3797990-03cf38f8b8276ce48dcc60834559a3cd&start=2955&end=4551","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3797990-03cf38f8b8276ce48dcc60834559a3cd/thumbnail_2955000.jpg","/articles/6545252/Goshen/Orange-County/New-York/Town-Board-continues-public-hearing-on-short-term-rental-local-law-to-July-10-after-mixed-public-comments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545252-fd7f9ebd9dcf5b3d89fde8c68d8ab016/orig.mp4?Expires=1770445686&Signature=dJAj~1gAACdKOwr83bwx4lcueVu8cBjaazkAjHjUyh2Zxc2dZvkll8KXGt4MJeT1JNcg7lT~X5LwBuCm3hk2KMLLsxqtd~L-pFrJKy9OQaokKoi9Jn2JAag4Zi7v1xEvQBYUIjhEI~A70FenglP~0A3Isuw7dso-GFcyzslLnzDlqwW13xXGv94Vx0qi3QZIXotQRjpku8SHGOOt7wqVxp4is8r5S1ziwLLtZoJcZs-NkMsLzMCSp2b0OayBZmo47EjKof4n8OoDiRiL8WU-sntfFubzIA0Z6wsG25M7BJ6r7CX38~HmKxCSd5JtEgL8T14pZLougU3~~gSRbemXgA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Goshen Town Board on June 12 continued the public hearing on proposed local law (Introductory Local Law 3 of 2025) that would prohibit short-term rentals in the town, setting a continuation date of July 10.

Why it matters: The proposed law would affect listings on platforms such as Airbnb and was described to the board as an outright ban in the version before the board. Residents and board members raised enforcement challenges, potential carve-outs for owner-occupied properties and farms, and the need for clear definitions and enforcement mechanisms.

Public commenters and board discussion: Neil Howard, a resident, told the board he expected the ordinance to bar pickups or disturbances later in the morning but said the broader issue for him was how the law defines “residential property.” He asked for clearer definitions to avoid enforcement problems in mixed-use or rural zones.

George Feit of Goshen said he reviewed village regulations and suggested a permit- and-registration model that would require inspections, insurance and owner presence; he described a village approach that limits non-owner-occupied rentals and imposes operational constraints. Feit also reported that an Airbnb listing near his property advertised capacity for “16 plus guests” and said enforcement was difficult on current rules.

Other commenters and board members noted farm owners who rely on occasional short-term stays as supplementary income; Sal (JRC chair) urged caution about prohibiting owner-occupied options and suggested the code might be amended later to preserve limited, owner-occupied uses.

Board members and staff described the procedural path: the law is subject to the town’s referral requirements (GML 239) and the planning board’s review period. Town staff said the planning board had the item on its agenda and the earliest guaranteed action date for the town board would be the July 10 meeting if the planning-board comment period expires by then.

Enforcement and next steps: Several members of the public and board voiced skepticism about enforceability whether the town adopts a permit-based model or an outright ban. After discussion, the board voted to continue the public hearing to July 10 to allow time for planning-board comments and to permit additional written feedback.

What the board will decide: The board may vote to adopt, amend, or reject the introductory local law when the hearing is next scheduled; staff said the board can act on July 10 if planning-board referral and other procedural windows have closed by then.","The Town of Goshen board continued a public hearing on proposed local law (Introductory Local Law 3 of 2025) to July 10; speakers raised enforcement and owner-occupied exceptions, and board members signaled differing views on whether to ban short-term rentals outright or craft a regulated permit process.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6545257,"Town Board approves developer agreement tying RDM 2602 project to $90,000 traffic mitigation contribution",1227,549000,1776000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3797990-03cf38f8b8276ce48dcc60834559a3cd&start=549&end=1776","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3797990-03cf38f8b8276ce48dcc60834559a3cd/thumbnail_549000.jpg","/articles/6545257/Goshen/Orange-County/New-York/Town-Board-approves-developer-agreement-tying-RDM-2602-project-to-90000-traffic-mitigation-contribution","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545257-607bae058bfa9a06cfe2ddebb340d8af/orig.mp4?Expires=1770445687&Signature=OG6l6z8owWfjNxZhEfFfIelOkL1h5LrCHF4Qzd8zZwGQc3ERThOX0m1UR4vlY-h501TOBHVUUSkOm3sgArgZ5SA9rTILuJB5BRQcbANQU8b8yFODnVIs1h6gTrw1k~VJVujBBWuR3cXIVcqcTZD4akv~sn2DNfDrmDe45EKrclwKJnwMOvZBm9vJkOHi-scEuSER5XVjasdnDCngqLLNlQi9HmJooeYsRhJSjzwSSpG0-2xuqFK2sjA9PfXd8mWEDgW9Uc8ner32BAiCylQfTSfjGeKWlTj4MppONt~mAvcTJhzFpQ7aKjBowUWZySyiW8y7YWzJxAkVM1Jyenf8uA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Goshen Town Board on June 12 authorized the supervisor to sign a developer's agreement for the RDM 2602 project that records a $90,000 developer contribution to a town traffic mitigation fund.

The agreement accompanies a previously approved planning-board site plan for a roughly 300,000-square-foot warehouse/distribution facility known as RDM 2602. Charles Gottlieb, land-use counsel for 2602 Route 17 Developers LLC, told the board the contribution reflects a Kimley-Horn memorandum dated June 9 and that the applicant had amended the developer's agreement to match that memo.

Why it matters: The vote clears one of the town conditions required before a building permit can be issued, but board members pressed whether the $90,000 fairly reflects the project's share of required improvements along Route 17M and nearby intersections if other proposed projects in the corridor move forward.

Board discussion centered on how the town and planning board calculated a fair-share figure and whether the amount locks in the applicant's contribution even if future projects increase the total mitigation cost. John (planning consultant) summarized the planning-board approach: “You’re supposed to mitigate your significant adverse traffic impacts,” and explained the planning board treated some improvements as significant and others as non-significant impacts that nonetheless merited a fair-share contribution.

Charles Gottlieb warned that rejecting the agreement tonight would simply mean the town would not receive the $90,000: “By taking an adverse determination this evening, the town is simply not accepting $90,000 to improve these roadways.” Other board members and the applicant’s representatives described a multi-step permitting and inspection process with outside agencies — including state DOT, DEC and the Department of Health — and noted the applicant must post a construction bond tied to DOT permit conditions.

Several board members asked for more analysis of how two other nearby, previously proposed projects (referred to as 2659 and 2675) were included in the fair-share calculations. The applicant’s team and the planning consultant said the traffic studies for the corridor had been modeled to include the potential trips from those properties; the consultant said the applicant’s contribution was calculated as a share of the estimated improvement costs based on projected trip generation.

Board members also pressed the applicant about timing and what the town would receive before a building permit is issued. Counsel for the applicant said the $90,000 would be delivered in cash (not a bond or letter of credit) and indicated the money would be required before a building permit could be pulled.

The board approved the motion by roll call with all members voting in favor; the board did not record any no votes during the roll call. The authorization allows the supervisor to sign the developer's agreement after final attorney review.

What’s next: The applicant must still satisfy additional planning-board conditions before the issuance of a building permit; DOT and other outside agency approvals and consultant inspections are required for the roadway improvements and the project’s bond will not be released until DOT signs off on as-built plans.

Clarifying details and open questions from the meeting include the precise allocation of the town’s traffic-mitigation fund if some pipeline projects do not move forward and whether future planning-board reviews for adjacent projects could change the town’s overall need for roadway work and the fair-share apportionment.","The Town of Goshen board voted to authorize the supervisor to sign a developer's agreement for the RDM 2602 warehouse/distribution project that locks in a $90,000 fair-share contribution for traffic mitigation; board members debated whether the amount properly accounts for nearby proposed projects and future roadway needs.","actionData","errors"]
