Hillsdale declares Memorial Day Parade an official town event; DOT permits authorized
Summary
The Town Board declared the Memorial Day Parade an official town event (Resolution 71-2025) and authorized permits (Resolutions 72-2025 and 73-2025); Councilmember Tom Carty was absent from the Zoom feed and did not vote on the parade-related resolutions.
The Hillsdale Town Board voted April 23 to declare the Memorial Day Parade an official town event and authorized the town supervisor to sign required DOT paperwork.
Supervisor Mike Dvorchak told the board "the town is doing all the work, and it makes more sense for the town to get the insurance and the proper DOT approval." The board adopted Resolution 71-2025 declaring the parade an official town event on a motion by Councilmember Irwin Feld, seconded by Councilmember Joanna Virello. The vote was recorded as Ayes 4 (Dvorchak, Virello, Feld, Carano Nordenstrom); Councilmember Tom Carty was not visible on the Zoom feed and did not vote.
The board also authorized the Supervisor to sign DOT Permit 33c under Resolution 72-2025 and approved DOT Permit 1 (2/12) under Resolution 73-2025, the latter described as an overriding resolution guiding future DOT permit submissions. Both permit resolutions passed with the same 4–0 recorded votes and Carty noted as not visible on Zoom. The minutes do not detail specific parade route segments, insurance carrier, or permit conditions; staff follow-up is required to finalize permit paperwork prior to the event.
