Special Meeting Tonight

There will be no trick-or-treating for members of the Common Council tonight. A special meeting has been called to act on three proposed laws:
  • Amending the code to make the Superintendent of Public Works the administrator of the flood plain law instead of the Executive Director of Hudson Community Development and Planning Agency (HCDPA), a position that has not been filled since 2018, if indeed it still exists.
  • Amending Chapter 305 of the city code to prohibit idling for more than ten minutes.
  • Amending Chapter 275 of the city code to make the installment agreement for paying delinquent property taxes more lenient: making the down payment 10 percent of the amount owed instead of 25 percent and allowing 36 months to pay the balance instead of 24 months.
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. It could be worth your while to tune in. Councilmember Rich Volo (Fourth Ward) may be there dressed as Mrs. Roper.

    A special meeting on Halloween Friday? Sounds like the council is hoping the public doesn't show.

      It sounds like, as a matter of law, there was no effective notice. Again.

    Will the idling law apply to DPW and HPD vehicles?
    Without signs this law is useless, though I guess it is a start.
