The Greene County Legislature opened a series of public hearings and then moved through routine business, including a batch of resolutions approved by voice vote and an appointment.
The meeting began with a public hearing on Community Development Block Grant project number 477ED553-24 (Gray Road). The chair invited public comment and stated the hearing’s purpose; no substantive public testimony was recorded in the transcript.
A second hearing considered adoption of an agency-specific short environmental assessment form to expedite reviews of agricultural-district modifications. A speaker clarified the proposed procedure is meant to expedite certain reviews distinct from the annual modifications hearing; the hearing closed with no further comment.
The Legislature also held a hearing on providing real property tax exemptions for persons 65 and over with incomes of $37,000 or less pursuant to section 467 of the Real Property Tax Law, and a separate hearing on Local Law Introductory No. 4 of 2025 (which would amend Local Law No. 1 of 2004 concerning exemptions for property owned by persons with disabilities and limited incomes). In both cases the chair solicited public comment and none was offered.
Following hearings, the body approved a series of resolutions and routine measures by voice vote. Resolution numbers referenced in the meeting include 376-25, 78-25, 392-25 and others; the chair repeatedly called "All in favor? Aye," and the transcript records those measures as carried. The transcript does not consistently record roll-call tallies by individual legislator for each item in the readouts.
The Legislature also reappointed Greene County Sheriff Peter Kremenki as Greene County South DWI Coordinator for a one-year term beginning 01/01/2026 and ending 12/31/2026; that appointment was announced and recorded in the meeting.
There was no formal public vote recorded on the Mountaintop Historical Society funding request discussed during committee reports; legislators asked staff to consider alternatives, including moving any recurring subsidy into the tourism department for oversight. The meeting concluded with a note about a Memorial observance followed by the next regular health-services meeting and adjournment.
Meeting participants and the public are advised to consult the official minutes for definitive vote tallies and the formal record of resolutions and appointments.
