Town Board schedules July 1 public hearing on proposed ambulance district
Summary
The Plattekill Town Board approved preparing a map, plan and report for an ambulance district covering the town and scheduled a public hearing for July 1, 2026 at 7 p.m.; the clerk was directed to publish required notices.
The town board voted to prepare a map, plan and report to study creating an ambulance district that would encompass the entirety of the town and tentatively scheduled a public hearing for Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at 7 p.m.
The resolution (identified in the meeting as Ambulance District Resolution No. 35) directs the town clerk to prepare, post and publish notice of the public hearing in conformance with legal mandates. The resolution states the map, plan and report must be filed with the town clerk on or before June 16, 2026 and be available for public inspection before the hearing.
Board members framed the step as the required procedural action to begin evaluating whether creation of an ambulance district is in the public interest under the cited town-law provisions. A motion to schedule the hearing was made and seconded during the meeting; the clerk was assigned notice responsibilities.
The resolution references articles 12 and 12A of town law governing establishment of special districts; the resolution text specifies the proposed district’s boundaries would be coterminous with the town. The public hearing will be the first formal opportunity for residents to comment on the proposed district and the board’s map and cost-benefit analysis.
The board did not provide detailed cost estimates during the meeting; the scheduled hearing and the filed map/plan are the next steps for residents to review the proposal and for the board to collect testimony and data before any final decision.
