Shandaken board adopts resolutions 76–85, sets public hearing on filming permit law
Summary
The Town of Shandaken board unanimously adopted a slate of routine resolutions including paying bills, accepting a library ballot petition, supporting holiday events, appointing summer‑rec staff and setting a public hearing on a proposed filming‑permitting local law.
The Town of Shandaken board voted to adopt Resolutions 76 through 85, approving routine administrative and event items and scheduling a public hearing on a proposed local law about filming permitting.
Supervisor Manfield moved several of the items forward during the meeting; the board adopted measures including payment of town bills, acceptance of a ballot petition for Phoenicia and Morton Memorial Library budget increases, support for the town’s Fourth of July parade and Pride Day, and appointment of summer recreation staff. The board set a time and place for a public hearing on proposed Local Law 1 of 2026, a filming‑permitting measure, and voted to advertise for a short‑term rental clerk and to hire a municipal worker.
The board approved Resolution 81 appointing seasonal summer recreation personnel, naming Samia Khan at a biweekly stipend of $1,000 and Ray Lahart as a swim instructor at $7.50 biweekly, and Resolution 85 hiring Mindy McKenzie as a municipal worker at $16.78 per hour for a four‑day week (2–3 hours per day). Contracts and operational details for beach use (Bel Air Beach) and summer programs were authorized under separate resolutions.
Most motions were made, seconded and adopted by voice vote with no extended debate recorded in the public minutes. The board also recorded a motion to set a public hearing on the filming‑permitting local law, advancing the local‑law process and inviting public comment at a later hearing.
