Town of Union adopts local-law amendments on renewable energy, bidding and snow-emergency parking
Summary
After SEQR review and noting a February 5 public hearing, the Town of Union board adopted amendments to the Renewable Energy Systems Law (Chapter 161), a Bidding – Best Value and Piggybacking Law (Chapter 77), and changes to Parking During Snow Emergencies (Chapter 178).
The Town of Union board adopted a package of local-law amendments on March 19, 2025 after reviewing State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) materials and determining negative declarations.
The board determined and declared negative declarations under SEQR (Parts 1 and 2 were reviewed and Supervisor Robert Mack was authorized to execute Part 3) for the proposed Renewable Energy Systems Law (Chapter 161), the Bidding – Best Value and Piggybacking Law (Chapter 77), and additions to Parking During Snow Emergencies (Chapter 178). Each item had a public hearing on Feb. 5, 2025, the minutes state, and each resolution approving the amendments passed unanimously.
Councilman David Kudgus moved the Renewable Energy Systems Law negative declaration; Councilman Frank J. Bertoni seconded. Similar motions and seconders are recorded for the bidding and parking law items, with the minutes noting “Vote: All yes. The Resolution was adopted.”
The minutes record the legal steps taken (SEQR review and negative declaration) and the board’s formal adoption of the amendments; the meeting record does not include textual excerpts of the laws or implementation timelines. Department staff and the Town Attorney will handle publication and codification steps, which were not specified in the minutes.
What happens next: The board authorized the Supervisor to execute the SEQR Part 3 forms; the minutes do not list effective dates for the local-law changes or specific administrative implementation steps.
