Village Board Meeting Will Take Place Online
Submitted by Mayor Rob Allen
The Village of Hoosick Falls will be holding the Tuesday April 14 Board Meeting over the internet, accessible to the general public through the Zoom video conferencing platform. While details and links on how to join the meeting will be on the Village website the day of the meeting, the Village has also created a way to get a direct invite via email.
Village officials have spent the past week getting used to the Zoom platform to make the meeting flow with as few technical difficulties as possible. Anyone with a device (computer, smart phone or tablet) will be able to join the meeting via the internet, but you can also join via a phone line to listen as well.
This meeting will include the Budget Hearing to discuss the tentative 2020-2021 Village Budget, which is currently available for review and download on the Village Website. Several hard copies of the tentative budget are in the main lobby of the Municipal Building, and more copies can be provided by calling the Village Office.
The Village has set up the email address hfvillagemeeting@gmail.com to provide a way to ask questions ahead of time. Additionally, if you want a direct invite to this meeting in your email, you can request that to the email address above.
Even if you request a direct invite to the meeting, the Village will post links and directions on how to join on the Village website that morning. The tentative budget is already on the website, and the agenda is typically posted on the Friday or Monday before the meeting.
Normally the Board would also hold its Organizational Meeting during the April meeting, but because Village Elections have been delayed until sometime after June 1st, the Board intends to pass a resolution delaying the Organizational Meeting until after the next election, and to maintain the current appointments and procedures until that point. This is in line with legal opinions and the recommendation by the New York Conference of Mayors.
If you have any questions about this meeting, or to request a direct invite to the meeting, please email hfvillagemeeting@gmail.com or call the Village office.
