Shelter Island Town Board special meeting: what happened Jan. 13
Summary
At a Jan. 13 special meeting, the Shelter Island Town Board called the meeting to order at 10:27 AM, adopted resolutions authorizing bidding at a foreclosure auction and a $2 million bond for acquisition of 2 School Street, and closed the meeting at 10:35 AM.
The Town Board of Shelter Island held a special meeting on Jan. 13, 2026. The agenda listed the meeting for 9:00 AM; the minutes record the call to order at 10:27 AM and the meeting closing at 10:35 AM. All board members signed a waiver of notice for the special meeting.
Two resolutions are recorded in the minutes. Resolution 2026-72 "authorizes the Town Supervisor or Town Attorney to bid on a property for purchase at a foreclosure auction." Resolution 2026-73 is a bond resolution authorizing the acquisition of a parcel at 2 School Street with an estimated maximum cost of $2,000,000 and authorizing bonds or bond anticipation notes in a principal amount not to exceed $2,000,000; the resolution limits maturities to no later than five years and directs publication of a summary in The Shelter Island Reporter. The minutes indicate adoption of both resolutions but present vote records in a format that shows 'X' marks and adoption in the vote header rather than a clear numeric roll call.
Attendees listed in the minutes: Supervisor Amber Brach-Williams; Deputy Supervisor Margaret Larsen; Councilmembers Elizabeth Hanley, Benjamin Dyett and Albert Dickson; Town Attorney Thomas Crouch; Town Clerk Shelby Mundy. The minutes do not record public comment or additional substantive debate on the items.
