Red Hook packet lists 2026 town appointments, committee vacancies and meeting schedule
Summary
The Town of Red Hook's Feb. 10, 2026 meeting packet lists official town appointments, committee rosters and several vacancies, sets meeting times and a $0.725 mileage rate, and notes an administrative correction needed for a ZBA term date.
A town staff member circulated the Town Board meeting packet for Feb. 10, 2026, which lists official appointments, committee rosters, meeting dates and several vacancies across advisory boards and commissions.
The packet names M&T Bank of Greene County as the town's official depository and the Poughkeepsie Journal as the official newspaper. It lists primary town officers and clerical roles (including Deanna Cochran as receiver of taxes and registrar roles and Stephen Cole in building/code positions) and sets the mileage reimbursement at $0.725 per mile.
The document sets the Town Board's regular meeting schedule at 7:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday and fourth Wednesday of each month and prescribes deadlines for departmental and committee reports, including an April 1 annual-report deadline for the Conservation Advisory Council and the Recreation Commission.
Supervisor and board roles are spelled out in a chain of responsibility, naming Kristina Dousharm, William Hamel, Ken Migliorelli and Jacob Testa as the board members listed in the packet and noting Deputy Supervisor William Hamel and Budget Officer Robert McKeon among supervisor appointments.
Committee rosters cover a wide range of boards and commissions. The packet lists chairs, member names and term years for bodies including the Agriculture and Open Space Advisory Board, Board of Assessment Review, Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee, Community Preservation Fund/PDR Advisory Committee, Planning Board, Design Review/Hamlet Committee, Energy Committee, Ethics Board, Greenway & Trails Committee, Housing Committee, Tree Preservation Commission, Water District #1 Board, Recreation Commission and the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Several committees show vacancies or unfilled liaison slots; the packet marks multiple "Vacant" positions across advisory panels. It also records a clerical discrepancy in the Zoning Board of Appeals listing: George Philip Jahn's term is shown as 2030 with a parenthetical note that it "should be 2029, needs motion to correct." The packet reiterates a standing Jan. 14, 2014 town-board policy that committee appointees must be town residents or property owners unless otherwise required by law or town code.
The packet identifies consultants and service providers used by the town, including Tighe & Bond and Creighton Manning as town engineers, Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress as a planning consultant to the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee, Catalis and CAMA, Inc. for computer software, and Pollard's Cleaning Service for custodial services.
The packet functions as the agenda materials for the Feb. 10, 2026 meeting of the Town Board of Red Hook and is presented as the reference for appointments, committee membership, meeting dates and administrative notes. The packet will be the basis for the board's consideration at the Feb. 10 meeting.
