The Croton-on-Hudson Board of Trustees met behind closed doors on the evening of February 4, 2026, for a brief executive session focused entirely on personnel matters.
Gathering in the Georgianna Grant Meeting Room of the Stanley H. Kellerhouse Municipal Building, the board convened the closed session at 9:04 PM. Mayor Pugh was present alongside Trustees Nachtaler, Nicholson, Simon, and Slippen. Village Manager Bryan Healy and Village Clerk Paula DiSanto also attended.
The session was called specifically to discuss "matters of personnel involving specific individuals," as stated in the motion made by Trustee Simon and seconded by Trustee Nicholson. The board voted 5-0 to enter the executive session.
Under New York State's Open Meetings Law, public bodies are permitted to convene in private to discuss the employment history, performance, or specific qualifications of particular individuals, though any final decisions must ultimately be made in a public session.
After approximately 25 minutes of deliberation, the board adjourned the executive session at 9:29 PM on a unanimous vote, with the motion made by Trustee Simon and seconded by Trustee Slippen. The minutes, submitted by Village Manager Healy and certified by Village Clerk DiSanto, explicitly note that no formal action was taken during the closed-door discussion.
Because no public business was conducted and no votes on resolutions or contracts occurred, there is no immediate action for residents to follow up on. However, residents should be aware that if any personnel-related decisions result from these discussions, they will be announced and voted on during a future regular meeting of the Board of Trustees, which are typically held at the Municipal Building and open to the public. Meeting schedules and agendas are regularly posted on the village website ahead of time.
