Tivoli trustees set April 15 budget hearing, approve permits and façade changes
Summary
The Village of Tivoli Board of Trustees scheduled a public hearing on the tentative budget for April 15 during its reorganizational meeting, accepted the treasurer's report, approved a driveway/street/sidewalk permit, authorized a records‑grant application, and approved minor façade work on the former St. Sylvia's property.
The Village of Tivoli Board of Trustees voted on routine business and scheduled a public hearing on the tentative 2026–27 budget for April 15, which will coincide with the village's annual reorganizational meeting.
At the meeting, the chair said the budget hearing will be held at 7:00 p.m. and encouraged residents to attend. Trustee Baldino moved to set the hearing; Trustee Bowden seconded the motion, which passed by voice vote.
The board also accepted the treasurer's monthly report and authorized payment of the village's bills. Treasurer Day reported that the village paid out $73,622.35 during the reporting month. The motions to accept the treasurer's report and to pay bills were seconded and approved by voice vote.
In other routine actions, the board approved a new application for driveway, street and sidewalk improvements after members described the request as straightforward and without site‑specific complications. The board additionally approved a resolution allowing minor façade changes to the former St. Sylvia's building (a property now owned by the Martens), finding the proposed removal of a non‑original bump‑out to be minor and not detrimental to the structure's historic values. That approval will allow the building department to consider demolition/alteration permits consistent with the resolution.
