Meetings and Events in the Week Ahead
The stretch of unseasonably warm weather is over, we've had some much needed rain, and now, in the days leading up the Thanksgiving Day, it feels like November. With weather Melville would relate to, here is what's happening.- On Tuesday, November 26, at 5:30 p.m., the Common Council holds a special meeting to vote on the budget proposed for 2025. The meeting is a hybrid, taking place in person at City Hall and on Teams. Click here for the link to join the meeting remotely.
- At 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 26, there is a meeting of the Common Council ad hoc Parking Study Committee. The meeting is a hybrid, taking place in person at City Hall and on Teams. Click here for the link to join the meeting remotely.
- On Wednesday, November 27, the Common Council ad hoc Truck Route Committee is scheduled to meet at 6:00 p.m. The meeting is a hybrid, taking place in person at City Hall and on Teams. Click here for the link to join the meeting remotely.
Update: The Truck Route Committee meeting has been canceled.- Thursday, November 28, is Thanksgiving Day. In the morning, when you sit down to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, know that it is the parade's 100th anniversary. The very first Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade took place in 1924.
- Friday, November 29, is the opening day of Basilica Farm & Flea Holiday Market, the antidote to big box Black Friday. The market opens on Friday at 10 a.m. and continues on Saturday and Sunday. For more information, click here.
- Saturday, November 30, is Small Business Saturday. The Hudson Farmers Market is marking the day by moving to its winter location at the Hudson Elks Lodge, 201 Harry Howard Avenue. The market will be open from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. In the past, the Hudson Farmers Market has taken the Saturday after Thanksgiving off, reopening at its indoor location on the first Saturday in December. This year, the market is experimenting with being open every Saturday year round. Show your support and celebrate Small Business Saturday by shopping at the Hudson Farmers Market this Saturday.
🤔 Now why would Common Council President Tom DePietro hold the BUDGET VOTE meeting on a holiday week...
ReplyDeleteOr is there some other reason?
And again - if the Hudson government _served_ tax payers there would not be one meeting a day... every week...
The mission of government is not to generate meetings and raise taxes,
The mission of government t is to protect the rights and freedoms of individuals, maintain law and order, and provide public goods that markets alone cannot efficiently supply.
My guess would be that they think breaking up the meetings into several sessions might increase attendance, although we all know that most Hudson residents are disengaged from the activities of local government. Sad really.
