Summary

The Village Board appointed Jared (identified in materials as Vendgren; he introduced himself as Jared Jenkins) to the Red Hook Public Library board to serve the remainder of a term ending around Sept. 2027; the appointment was approved by voice vote.

The Village Board appointed Jared (listed in the packet as Jared Vendgren; the nominee introduced himself in public comment as Jared Jenkins) to the Red Hook Public Library board to fill a vacancy created by Sarah Devere’s departure.

Jared Jenkins, who said he was born and raised in Red Hook and recently moved into the village, described his interest in serving the library because his 9-month-old daughter is a frequent patron and because of his background as a local realtor and recruiter. “The library feels like a really good opportunity to contribute,” Jenkins said, adding he hopes to help expand community use of the library and support programming and funding strategies.

Board members confirmed Jenkins would fill the remainder of the five-year term vacated by Sarah Devere, with a tentative end date of September 2027 (the nominee said he would confirm the exact date). The board moved and approved the appointment by voice vote.

Next steps: Chair welcomed Jenkins to the library board and the village; staff will finalize appointment paperwork and confirm the exact term end date.
