REPORTS
Mayor Fixell reported on the following:
- For tonight’s meeting, the Board had originally scheduled a public hearing for eminent domain proceedings regarding the Mason’s lot. However, since the time we announced it, we have had several discussions with the Masons and, even though we have not completely resolved the issue, we have made significant progress. We are confident that we will soon be able to resolve it in a mutually beneficial and amicable way.
- The weekend of June 6 and 7, there will be many activities being held in the Village of Tarrytown. The first portion of the Quadricentennial Celebration will take place including a flotilla of boats and tall ships which will be docking at Tarrytown, a festival at Kingsland Point Park, and a fireworks display from the former General Motors site that the State will be providing. The next day, there will be a River Festival at Lyndhurst, our Main Street Fair and the Strawberry Festival. For more information, check the Sleepy Hollow Chamber of Commerce website.
- The Board of Trustees will be on a summer schedule for the months of June, July and August. The Board will meet once a month on the 3rd Monday of each of those months.
