Milford supervisor outlines next steps on short-form 'STTR' discussion, delays website switch, and notes Local Law referral
Summary
Supervisor Casey Eckler reported Code Officer Neal McManus "spoke on STTR" (as recorded in the minutes) and recommended a future town meeting to discuss regulation; the board deferred joining Otsego County’s $1,000/$1,000 website program so Council Member Velasco can update the current site; a public hearing on a proposed Local Law was held May 21 and referral materials were sent to the county with a June 18, 2025 recommendation due date.
Supervisor Casey Eckler told the Milford Town Board that Code/Zoning Enforcement Officer Neal McManus "spoke on STTR" during recent discussions; the minutes record Eckler’s suggestion that the town hold a meeting with rental and non-rental residents in attendance to address regulation. The board recalled it had previously considered a moratorium but decided not to initiate one.
Eckler described the Otsego County Affordable Website Program and its costs — a $1,000 setup fee and a $1,000 annual fee — and said the Town decided to hold off joining so Council Member Kristen Velasco can work to update the current town website. He also noted the board held a public hearing on May 21 at 6:00 PM regarding a proposed Local Law; Short Environmental Assessment Forms (Part 1) and a referral cover sheet were sent to the county, which acknowledged receipt and set June 18, 2025 as the due date for the county’s recommendation.
