The Town of Goshen on Nov. 25 acknowledged receipt of a resignation letter from Town Justice Amanda Brady, effective Dec. 31, 2025, and moved to appoint Ashley Salty as the town’s next justice, effective Jan. 1, 2026.

The action followed a motion by board members to accept Brady’s resignation; the board congratulated Brady on her election to family court and welcomed Salty before a voice vote approving the appointment and a subsequent motion to authorize Salty to attend judge school beginning Dec. 8, 2025, ahead of the formal swearing‑in.

Why it matters: The town justice position is a locally elected/appointed judicial role; the change will take effect at the end of the year and requires administrative steps (oath, judicial training) before the new justice takes the bench. The board emphasized completing training and the formal oath before Salty assumes full duties.

Board next steps and logistics: The board discussed timing and swearing‑in logistics for the new justice and confirmed plans to complete any required paperwork and training. No additional conditions were attached to the authorization to attend judge school, and board members said they would finalize arrangements prior to Jan. 1, 2026.

The board moved on to other agenda business after recording the appointment and training authorization.
