Town of Lloyd board approves personnel hires, speed-limit request, ambulance change and pavilion winterization
Summary
At its Sept. 3 workshop the board approved several personnel appointments and municipal resolutions including a speed-limit request to NYSDOT, surrendering the town's municipal certificate of need for ambulance service, acceptance of a donated painting, and authorization to winterize pavilion bathrooms; some motions recorded one or more opposed votes in the discussion.
The Town of Lloyd board on Sept. 3 passed or moved forward multiple municipal resolutions covering personnel, traffic safety, emergency services and park maintenance.
Personnel: The board accepted the resignation listed on the agenda for Sarah Van Norin and moved to appoint staff listed in the packet: a candidate identified in the materials as Sarah Van Ostrom to municipal code assistant, Katie Palmier to the receptionist position (provisional pending exam), and Nate Lewis to building inspector 1 (provisional). The meeting transcript contains inconsistent spellings for the first staff appointment (Van Norin vs. Van Ostrom); the board took action as presented on the agenda.
Traffic safety: The board authorized the supervisor to send a letter to the New York State Department of Transportation requesting a lower speed limit (35 mph) on Route 9W between Milton Avenue and Chapel Hill Road. Board members noted that speed reduction is a starting point and that road widening or additional traffic controls would require DOT action.
Emergency services: The board approved a resolution surrendering the town's municipal certificate of need for ambulance service effective Dec. 21, 2025; the board explained Ulster (transcript: "Olster") County will pursue a county-level certificate of need to serve multiple municipalities and relieve the town of direct operating-certificate responsibilities.
Parks and maintenance: The board accepted an offered donation of an oil painting (valued in the packet at approximately $3,000) and authorized procurement work to winterize the Stacy pavilion bathrooms (electrical and enclosure work) with chosen contractors pending final materials quotes and normal procurement steps.
Other: The board reaffirmed the town's continued $2,500-per-year support of the Hudson 7 intermunicipal council as listed in the agenda, and took the procedural steps to authorize grant applications and bond preparations for water-system improvements (covered in a separate article).
Several motions were approved after typical move/second procedures; some roll-call or verbal votes included recorded opposition on particular items as reflected in the transcript. The board did not announce unusual suspensions of rules or emergency actions.
