Margaretville board schedules public hearing on local law to override tax‑levy limit
Summary
The board adopted a resolution to advance a proposed local law to override the tax‑levy limit under General Municipal Law §3‑c and scheduled a public hearing on April 7, 2026 to receive public comment.
At its March 24 meeting the Village of Margaretville Board adopted RESOLUTION #03242026‑3 advancing a proposed local law to override the tax‑levy limit established in New York General Municipal Law §3‑c and scheduled a public hearing for April 7, 2026 at 5:10 p.m.
The resolution notes the law requires approval by at least 60% of the governing body's voting power and directs the Village Clerk to publish notice and file required copies with the Secretary of State within 20 days of adoption. Mayor John C. Hubbell read the resolution and the motion to adopt was seconded by Trustee David Budin. The board voted unanimous approval to proceed to a hearing.
Board members approved scheduling the broader tentative budget public hearing and the organizational meeting for April 7 at 5:00 p.m.; the tax‑levy hearing follows at 5:10 p.m. The meeting record does not include the tax‑levy figure or how the village would use an override; those details will be subject to the public hearing and subsequent board discussion.
