Catskill trustees table HVPA and REST Act resolutions after public hearings
Summary
At their June 11, 2025 meeting, the Village of Catskill Board of Trustees opened public hearings on proposed resolutions supporting HVPA and the REST Act, heard oral and written comments from residents, and then unanimously voted to table both resolutions for future consideration.
The Village of Catskill Board of Trustees opened public hearings on two proposed resolutions — one backing HVPA and another the REST Act — at its June 11, 2025 meeting and then, after hearing public comment and reviewing letters submitted, unanimously agreed to table both proposals.
President Natasha Law opened each hearing after motions from Trustee Peter Grasse. A sign-in sheet for each hearing was attached to the minutes and the record states that attendees "spoke for or against" the resolutions and that letters of support and opposition were received and attached. After both hearings were closed, President Law read the proposed resolutions aloud; in each case the trustees voted unanimously to postpone final action.
Why it matters: both items drew public participation and written input, signaling local interest and disagreement. Tabled status means the board did not take a final vote on either resolution at this meeting and the matters may return to a future agenda for further discussion or action.
What the record shows: the minutes record motions to open and close the hearings and state that the board "by unanimous vote, agreed to table the vote" on each resolution. No formal vote on adopting either resolution was taken at the June 11 meeting.
Next steps: the minutes do not record a follow-up date or staff assignment for further work on the resolutions. The board adjourned at 7:51 p.m.
