After executive session, Hudson Falls trustees direct pursuit of 4½ Feeder Street ownership; officials will attend sheriff sale
Summary
Following an executive session on litigation, the Board of Trustees concluded it should pursue ownership of 4½ Feeder Street and directed Mayor John Barton and Trustee Michael Horrigan to attend the upcoming sheriff sale to submit the required highest bid.
After reconvening from executive session on Aug. 11, the Village of Hudson Falls Board of Trustees voted to proceed with steps to obtain ownership of 4½ Feeder Street.
The meeting record states that, with Attorney Bill Nikas's recommendation, the board concluded it was in the village's "best interest" to pursue ownership and that Mayor John Barton and Trustee Michael Horrigan will attend the upcoming sheriff sale to submit whatever highest‑bid requirement is necessary to take ownership. The action followed an executive‑session discussion of litigation; the board closed the session at 4:37 p.m.
The transcript does not record the litigation details discussed in executive session nor the exact bid amount the village intends to offer; those details are subject to confidentiality and the sheriff sale process. The board's direction establishes a clear next procedural step: village representation at the sale.
