A few highlights on the agenda:
* A proclamation for Hudson Festival Days. Did you know that June is also the month that David Hudson and his small group of pioneers first stepped foot in Hudson (Range 10, Town 4) back in 1799.
* A request to concur with an appointment of an Acting Solicitor (Legal Counsel). While legislation was passed 2 weeks ago to enter into a new contract, it did not carry the emergency language as requested (to take effect immediately), as it did not meet the higher threshold of affirmative votes. Emergency language requires 5/5, 5/6 or 6/7 affirmative votes to include, based on the number of members present and voting. Without emergency language, as appropriate, a measure defaults to a regular measure and has a 30-day delay before taking effect.
* Consent agenda items that cover Velocity Broadband (Fiber to the Residents), Stormwater management projects, an additional grant for the Hines Hill bridge project, Franklin St. Waterline project funding, a grant for Keep America Beautiful, direction to enter into AMPâs smart thermostat program and repealing of passed Ordinance 26-84 (City Solicitor contract) which amends said contract to 6-months and requests the engagement with a professional recruitment firm to perform an additional search for a full-time City Solicitor.
* 2 items on Legislation for a 3rd reading and eligible for action (vote), which include changes to our Ordinance on short-term rentals and an agreement to move forward on the Senior Transportation program
* 2 other items on a 2nd reading and 1 item on a 1st reading.
* There are also 2 Executive sessions, 1 in the beginning to interview candidates for Boards and Commissions and 1 at the end to discuss both Economic Development and Potential Litigation.
Thank you.
