Summary
The town board authorized the town clerk to advertise a public hearing for Feb. 24, 2026, to consider a local law providing a partial tax exemption for surviving spouses of police officers killed in the line of duty. The motion was seconded by Councilman Lorenzo and approved; the transcript does not report a numerical vote tally.
The Chair of the Town Board moved to authorize the town clerk to advertise a public hearing on Feb. 24, 2026, to consider adopting a local law described in the meeting as a "taxation partial exemption for surviving spouses of police officers killed in the line of duty." Councilman Lorenzo seconded the motion, and the Chair said the motion was approved and the hearing was set. The transcript does not specify a numerical vote tally; it records only the Chair's statement that the motion was approved.
The proposal was introduced as Resolution No. 1 and, as stated by the Chair, would authorize the clerk to advertise the upcoming hearing. The board did not debate the substance of the proposed local law at this meeting: the item was limited to setting the hearing date and the procedural step of advertising the hearing. According to the motion language in the record, the hearing is intended to consider a local law to provide a partial tax exemption for surviving spouses of police officers killed in the line of duty.
After the board set the hearing, members moved to adjourn. Councilman Lorenzo offered the second on the adjournment motion and the Chair closed the meeting. No additional committee reports, public testimony, or amendments were recorded in the transcript.
Next procedural step: the town clerk is to advertise the hearing for Feb. 24, 2026, and the board may consider adoption of the local law after that public hearing.
