Granville board approves resolution to consolidate village court into town court
Summary
Trustees voted unanimously to adopt a resolution consolidating the Village Court into the Town Court, eliminating Village Court positions; the resolution passed by roll call following a public hearing with no comments.
The Village Board of Granville voted on May 4 to consolidate the Village Court into the Town Court and eliminate the Village Court positions, adopting a resolution that passed unanimously by roll call.
Mayor Paul Labas opened a public hearing on the draft resolution and said the same rules for comment applied as for other public hearings; no one signed in to speak. After brief discussion, Trustee Denise Davies moved to adopt the resolution; Deputy Mayor Dean Hyatt seconded and the board adopted the measure via roll call vote.
The transcript records no public testimony for or against consolidation at the hearing. The board did not specify a timeline or transitional steps for transferring court functions or personnel in the meeting minutes; those procedural details were not discussed on the record and are therefore not reported here.
The board recorded its formal adoption in the minutes; any required notifications to court administrators or filings with county or state officials were not detailed during the meeting.
