Clerk Don read the public‑hearing notice for Local Law No. 1 of 2026 (permission to override the 2% property tax cap). Board members took public comment; Board member Bill said he would support the override "only very reluctantly," citing rising retirement benefit costs and state mandates that increase local costs without state mandate relief. No online commenters spoke; the hearing was closed and the board moved to the regular meeting.
