In this week, truncated by a Monday holiday, not much is happening, but what is all seems to be happening on Tuesday.
- On Tuesday, October 14, the Common Council holds its informal meeting at 6:00 p.m. Among the resolutions to be introduced at this meeting is one authorizing the sale of 98 Paddock Place to the highest bidder at a public auction and another adopting the new comprehensive plan, Hudson 2035. The meeting is a hybrid, taking place in person at City Hall and on Microsoft Teams. Click here for the link to join the meeting remotely.

- Also on Tuesday, October 14, the Planning Board meets at 6:30 p.m. Because it is happening at the same time as the Common Council informal meeting, the Planning Board meeting is taking place at the Central Fire Station, 77 North Seventh Street. The agenda for the meeting seems pretty full, but not so full that it cannot include, as the very last item, the Colarusso dock. The meeting will be livestreamed. Click here to find the link.
- As if two things happening more or less simultaneously on Tuesday, October 14, were not enough, here's a third. At 6:00 p.m., mayoral candidate Joe Ferris is having a meet and greet at the Park Theater, 723 Warren Street. Please note the correction in the time. Click here to register your intention to attend.
- On Wednesday, October 15, the Zoning Board of Appeals meets at 6:00 p.m. The agenda for the meeting includes three public hearings: on the area variance required for the accessory building proposed for the rear of 123 Union Street (a building that has already been granted a certificate of appropriateness by the Historic Preservation Commission); on a variance for the size of parking spaces at 23 Oakwood Boulevard (which is being used as a parking lot for the apartment building to be constructed on Fairview Avenue); on a height variance for an elevator enclosure at 10-12 Warren Street. The meeting takes place in person only at City Hall.
An operations focussed professional would note how Hudson constantly has overlapping and conflicting public meetings.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention daily meetings, on different technology platforms etc.
This is a solved problem elsewhere.
Perhaps Hudson should figure out these basics before spending time, political capital, and social capital on virtue-signaling resolutions regarding foreign wars and federal law enforcement.
I agree one hundred percent.Plus they keep going over the same issues every week without any finality
DeleteIndeed.
DeleteThe goal of municipal government is to save us time, provide basic common public services (public works, public safety, and in this town note even public education).
Yet is seems that the City of Hudson career politicians try to grow the organism, its footprint, its resource consumpntion.
Hopefully Morris and Ferris can get back to basics and other career politicians can carpool to Albany.
