Catskill board sets May 28 public hearing on poundmaster appointment; schedules REST Act and HVPA presentations
Summary
The board set a May 28 public hearing to consider amending Village Charter Section 2 on the poundmaster appointment and listed agenda presentations on the REST Act and the HVPA, including a planned appearance by NYS Assemblymember Sarahana Shrestha.
At its May 14 meeting the Village of Catskill Board of Trustees set a public hearing for May 28, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. at the Senior Center to consider an update to Village Charter Section 2 concerning the appointment of the poundmaster.
The meeting agenda also lists several scheduled presenters: CACHE to discuss the REST Act, Central Hudson to present opposition to the HVPA, and New York State Assemblymember Sarahana Shrestha to present in favor of the HVPA. The minutes record these as items on the agenda; no presentation text or testimony is included in the minutes themselves.
The minutes do not specify proposed Charter language, the scope of the poundmaster change, or whether the Charter update would move appointment authority between offices. The public hearing will provide an opportunity for discussion and formal comment on the proposed change.
Next steps: the board will hold the public hearing on May 28 at the stated time and location; the minutes note the hearing was set but do not record subsequent public comment or board action.
