Votes at a glance: Sleepy Hollow sets trick-or-treat hours, extends mobile food permits, tables donation and approves equipment purchase
Summary
The board set Halloween trick-or-treat hours, extended mobile food truck licensing through Dec. 31, 2025, tabled a Shop with a Cop donation to Oct. 20, and approved a Billy Goat vacuum hose and impeller purchase for public works.
Several procedural and budget items were resolved by the Village of Sleepy Hollow board in a series of votes:
- Trick-or-treat hours: Trustees approved setting village trick-or-treat hours from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Oct. 31. Discussion focused on encouraging participation and coordinating with neighboring villages.
- Mobile food truck licensing: The board voted to extend a pilot mobile food truck licensing ordinance to allow applications through Dec. 31, 2025. Trustees praised vendor interest and noted winter limitations on on-truck cooking; staff will draft a permanent ordinance for next year.
- Shop with a Cop donation: Trustees discussed supporting the Shop with a Cop program (which served about 138 families last year with a $150 shopping allowance per family). The board voted to table the donation and asked staff to return on Oct. 20 with a proposed dollar amount and funding source.
- Billy Goat vacuum hose and impeller: The board approved purchasing a Billy Goat vacuum hose and impeller for public works (packet listed $4,460 after a $1,000 discount); trustees said the equipment will help clear leaves and debris from culverts and easements. The purchase is included in the current public-works budget.
Each item was approved by roll-call or voice vote as recorded; where the board chose to table action, staff will return with further information at a specified date.
