The Town of Goshen took a series of formal actions on Nov. 13. Below are the motions and outcomes recorded in the transcript:
- Re-levy cleanup charge for 7 Summerville Road ($804.44): Motion passed; roll call recorded Council member Gallo (Aye), Council member Florio (Aye), Council member Cantarino (Aye) and the deputy supervisor (Aye).
- Re-levy unpaid water and sewer charges: The board read component amounts—water $95,803.98 and sewer $84,299.13—and approved re-levying unpaid charges to the 2026 real property tax rolls. The transcript records the component amounts; the total in the spoken record is inconsistent and is noted in the minutes discussion.
- Declare lead agency and set public hearing for Local Law No. 9 (temporary moratorium on battery energy storage systems): Motion carried; hearing set for Dec. 11 at 7 p.m.; town counsel described the moratorium as a Type II action (no further environmental review required).

- Standard workday resolution for elected/appointed officials (Amanda Brady): Motion carried to correct a prior typo and resubmit to the state.

- Schedule town board meeting for Nov. 25 at 7 p.m.: Motion carried.
- Authorize supervisor to pay accounts payable check run dated Nov. 13: Motion carried; amount recorded as $760,219.56.
- Approve budget transfers requested by the budget officer and a manual AP run as of Oct. 31, 2025 (manual AP amount recorded as $23,483.03): Motions carried.
Notes on counts and records: Some motions were followed by explicit roll-call votes (see Summerville re-levy and water/sewer re-levy). Other motions were approved by voice and the transcript does not show a full roll-call in the posted segments for every action (for example, the transcript records the motion to adopt a biosolids-related local law but does not include a subsequent recorded vote in the available segments).
