Residents ask about sledding hill, Missing Man Table; town confirms primary polling hours

Several residents used the public-comment portion of the Sept. 2 meeting to raise small community issues and ask for clarifications.

Todd Kilanski asked who owns the hill next to the Creche on the Common and whether property owners might allow children to sled on Saturdays; Selectman Ben Kilanski replied that the hill is privately owned. Kelli Kilanski reported that a Missing Man Table will be displayed next week at a village hair salon, asked for confirmation of voting-poll hours (Town Administrator Miner confirmed 8 a.m.–7 p.m.), and inquired whether transfer station operators had budgeted extra hours to bail recyclables; Selectman Ben Kilanski said compactor-fee savings would cover extra bailing hours. Kilanski also reminded veterans of a weekly coffee meetup and the upcoming VFW Poppy Drive on Sept. 5.

The board recessed briefly and later opened a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. for the JONE grant; after the hearing the board voted to approve the grant. The meeting adjourned at 6:42 p.m.
