Town of Hunter adopts Local Law No. 1 of 2024 to override tax levy limit
Summary
The Town of Hunter Board adopted Local Law No. 1 of 2024 to override the state-imposed tax levy limit under General Municipal Law, voting 5–0 after a public hearing that opened at 5:45 PM and closed at 6:09 PM.
Supervisor Sean Mahoney opened a public hearing on Proposed Local Law No. 1 of 2024, described in the minutes as 'To Override the Tax Levy Limit Established in General Municipal Law,' and moved to adopt the law. The motion, seconded by Councilman Dolph Semenza, passed unanimously (Ayes 5, Noes 0).
The hearing record shows the public hearing was opened at 5:45 PM and closed at 6:09 PM; the board took the formal adoption vote during the subsequent workshop meeting. The minutes do not record public speakers or testimony content in the public hearing portion. The board scheduled a separate Special Meeting for Nov. 19, 2024 at 6:00 PM to adopt the budget related to the 2025 fiscal year.
The action is recorded as an adoption of a local law that overrides the tax levy limit set in the General Municipal Law. The minutes do not specify projected dollar amounts tied to the override or describe changes to tax rates; those details are not specified in the record and would appear in the budget documents to be adopted at the Nov. 19 special meeting.
Next steps: The town will proceed to finalize the 2025 budget at the special meeting scheduled for Nov. 19, 2024.
