Tuxedo Board adopts 2026 reorganization, sets appointments and salaries
Summary
The Town Board adopted the 2026 reorganization with retroactive pay increases to Jan. 1, 2026, appointing staff across departments, confirming professional-service contracts, and setting elected-official salaries and board stipends.
At its Jan. 14, 2026 meeting, the Town Board adopted the 2026 Town Reorganization and set salaries, appointments and work rules for the year, with pay increases noted as retroactive to Jan. 1, 2026. The reorganization lists multiple appointments: Ashleah Perri as Secretary to the Supervisor (part-time) at $32.25/hr; Jeannette Zimmer as Project Coordinator at $38.46/hr; Christopher Watson provisionally appointed Building Inspector III at $53.77/hr (pending civil service exam results); and Kathleen Metcalf-Rooney named Recreation Director at $36.81/hr on a provisional basis.
The board also confirmed elected-official salaries: Supervisor Dave McMillen at $65,000; Deputy Supervisor Deirdre Murphy at $32,500; Town Clerk/Tax Collector Marisa Dollbaum at $85,000; Highway Superintendent Robert Dollbaum at $110,864.78; and Town Justices Shawn Brown and Alyse McCathern each at $36,000. Multiple part-time and board stipends were recorded (detailed in the reorganization listing), and the board reaffirmed procurement, investment, and credit-card policies for 2026. The resolution passed by unanimous vote.
Professional services appointments were confirmed: J&G, LLP as Town attorneys; Lanc & Tully as Town engineers; Cooper Arias, LLP for financial consultant services and AUD preparation; Feerick Nugent MacCartney as legal counsel to planning and ZBA matters; and Nelson, Pope, Voorhis as Town Planner. The board also set meeting dates for 2026 and named the Times Herald-Record the official newspaper for the town. The reorganization motion carried 5–0.
The action establishes pay and organizational assignments for routine town operations; many appointments are contingent on civil-service approvals where noted.
