The Croton-on-Hudson Board of Trustees met behind closed doors on the evening of October 29, 2025, for a brief discussion regarding village personnel.
Held in the Georgianna Grant Meeting Room of the Stanley H. Kellerhouse Municipal Building, the meeting consisted entirely of an executive session. Trustee Len Simon made the motion to enter the closed session, which was seconded by Trustee Nicholson and passed unanimously by the full board—including Mayor Pugh and Trustees Politi, Simon, and Slippen—at 8:02 PM.
Under New York State's Open Meetings Law, public bodies are permitted to convene in executive sessions to discuss specific personnel matters that, if disclosed in public, would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. The motion specified that the discussion would involve matters of personnel regarding specific individuals.
The session lasted just 15 minutes. At 8:17 PM, the board voted unanimously to adjourn, with no formal action taken. Because no public business was conducted and no votes on public resolutions occurred, there was no opportunity for public comment.
Residents should note that while executive sessions are closed to the public, any final decisions or formal actions resulting from these private discussions must legally take place during an open, public meeting of the Board of Trustees. The next scheduled regular meeting of the Board of Trustees will be open to the public, and residents can check the official village website at croton-on-hudson.ny.us for upcoming agendas and meeting dates.
