REPORT FROM THE VILLAGE MANAGER: Village Attorney Lori Lee Dickson Trustee Slippen Village Treasurer Genette Toone Village Board of Trustees July 1, 2026 • Village Manager Healy advised that during the heat wave, the Croton Free Library will be open as a cooling center tomorrow and Friday during their normal hours as well as the Community Room at the Municipal Building beginning at 5 PM tomorrow and will remain open 24/7, The Village has waived the daily fees at Silver Lake through Friday due to the heat; residents must show their parks ID card for entrance, there is also a chance for severe weather on Friday and Saturday, should power outages occur additional information will be shared through our emergency alert system, social media and website. • The repaving project along Cleveland Drive is scheduled to begin on July 13th, because the project came in under bid, the Village will be looking to mill and pave Cleveland from Gerstein to Jacoby Street, once the paving list is finalized, information will be shared with the community. • The reconstruction of the Farrington Road steps began yesterday; the steps will be closed for the summer while the work is underway. The project will likely take place in two phases due to the need to have the steps open for the school year. • Westchester County is set to begin the replacement of the Quaker Bridge on July 7, the work is anticipated to take 10 months to complete, updates will be provided as we receive them from the county. • Con Edison continues to undertake gas main work along Old Post Road North, The project is expected to continue until August, at which point they will shift to Brook Street. The work along Brook Street is not expected to be as intense, which will allow them to complete their work by mid- September. Con Edison has also started a pole replacement project along Old Post Road South. Con Edison did not notify the village, the school district or the emergency services prior to the start of this project, which constituted numerous violations of the permit issued to them. We will be seeking penalties against Con Edison in our local justice court for these violations. • Offices will be closed on 7/3 in recognition of Independence Day and recycling will be picked up village wide tomorrow. Village Manager Healy thanked Assemblymember Dana Levenberg for pocket copies of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution which are available at Village Hall. July 1, 2026 • Croton on Hudson Police Detectives recently arrested a Maine woman for identify theft of a local resident, Croton Police Department worked closely with neighboring departments to solve the case, the vehicle driven by the woman was caught on a license plate reader which allowed County Police to detain her until Croton Police could respond and take custody. • Village Manager Healy advised that he will be working with the Fire Department over the coming weeks to spread the word that our department is 100% volunteer and in need of new members, he will also be working with our communications firm and members of the Fire Department to help put together a recruitment video for our website and social media, and thanked Trustee Nachtaler for her help in designing a banner which will hang at the entrance to the train station. 6.

PUBLIC COMMENT - NON-AGENDA ITEMS: Christian Meyer, Brook Street, Croton on Hudson, stated that he is here this evening because of his concern about the poor level of Village oversight of the Con Edison gas main project on Old Post Road, and while he understands this is not a Village project, he believes there should be oversight of what is happening and described the following: noise from improperly installed steel plates causing loud thumping noise, resident parking spaces taken without community notice for contractor staging areas leaving residents on Brook Street with no place to park, contractors parking in and blocking resident driveways, environmental issues from excessive idling by contractor trucks early in the morning, contractor materials placed against historic stonewall and private property, outdated village information about this project on the village website, and while the Croton Police Department has done an excellent job with traffic control we need village management to address the issues he has outlined. Ned Rust, Morningside Drive, Croton on Hudson, stated that there are a lot of facts out there regarding the use of gas powered leaf blowers that make a Village Board of Trustees July 1, 2026 good case to stop the use, just like we stopped the burning of leaves in our yards, stopped smoking tobacco in indoor public spaces, shut down an asbestos filled coal fired plant in Haverstraw, banned smoking in village parks and decommissioned Indian Point, it is time to deal with another cancer causing relic from the 20th century; the gas powered leaf blower. David Lowell, Farrington Road, Croton on Hudson, addressed the magnitude of toxins going into our air from the multitude of gas-powered leaf blowers, and implored the Board to stop this unnecessary fossil fuel pollution, he has done a lot of research and the argument to allow gas powered leaf blowers are straight out of the big business fossil fuel playbook, these are delay tactics and does not support the Village asking what the cost impacts to landscapers are and we should not be asking large property owners and landscapers to shape public health; profit margin should not be more important than our kids’ health and our right to a cancer-free air. Ed Riely, 110 Truesdale Drive, Croton on Hudson, stated that he does not support the negative comments about our history made by the IDEA Committee, where they talked about how everyone is being persecuted, and there is rampant racism, and stressed that this discussion should have been led by a real historian who would have given a true history of slavery in New York not a teenager. Mr. Riely also addressed the abortion issue and the sale of abortion drugs, and the development of the property across from Shoprite, which has serious erosion issues.

REPORTS: Trustee Slippen stated that she understands the issues residents are dealing with because she lives on Michaels Lane and is living through this project, the inability to park, not knowing which direction the road is going or when it will be closed, as well as the noise is a problem for many residents. Trustee Slippen stated that she is glad the CAC is going to undertake the gas-powered leaf blower issue and asked if we have an approximate time how long they thought this was going to take, thanked the Village Historian for the wonderful program he held to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary where he recounted some of the dramatic events that took place at that time, addressed Village Board of Trustees July 1, 2026 Mr. Riely’s comment that maybe there could be some public art incorporated in our signs and advised that the Arts and Humanities Committee have actually discussed this at their meetings and it is something we can discuss further; thanked Village Manager Healy for setting up cooling centers, also thanked the Village Administrator for waiving the fee at Silver Lake during the heatwave, thanked the Arboretum for doing a great job repairing the trail, very excited the Quaker Bridge project will begin this Monday, wished everyone a happy July 4th and a happy 250th Birthday of America and is happy to see signs and flags around the Village in celebration of this milestone. Trustee Nachtaler stated that she does not live on Old Post Road and was unaware of the magnitude of the problems residents are experiencing because of the Con Edison gas main project, as well as the excessive noise from Metro North that many households are dealing with. Trustee Nachtaler stated that unfortunately Con Edison and Metro North are completely out of the control of the Village but would like to talk about how we can hold entities like this a little bit more accountable. Trustee Nachtaler stated that she is excited the Quaker Bridge project is going to start, the unveiling ceremony of the American Revolutionary War Patriots marker was held today and thanked everyone involved in making this happen, and thanked the Village Manager for working with the Seniors Club and DPW in getting a new handrail in the back of the municipal building. Trustee Simon advised that the Executive Committee of the Westchester Municipal Officials Organization met on June 18th and talked about the changes in the Climate Leadership Act which changes some of the funding that is available to municipalities and also discussed concerns regarding data centers, on June 18th the Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee met and talked about sidewalks, EV bikes, and had an update on Project Mover with Chairman Matt Arnold, on June 10th he attended the Bennett Conservatory of Music for a concert celebrating Juneteeth, on June 23rd he and Mayor Pugh were honored to attend an award ceremony held by state Senator Peter Harckham where Allie Fraase was honored for all of the work that she does in our community, the Planning Board met on June 23rd to discuss a variety of topics, the Sustainability Committee met on June 28th and talked about the train station EV Chargers, battery energy storage systems, recycling program, potential new solar activity as well as the DPW canopy, met with the Fire Council and talked about recruitment, as well as a ceremony honoring John Peterson and Mr. Tompkins, thanked the Fox Eklof American Legion Post 505 Village Board of Trustees July 1, 2026 and the Pomeroy Foundation for getting the historical markers installed, Croton Historian Marc Cheshire will be speaking at the Community Room on “Croton and the Revolutionary War”, and directed everyone to Lohud.com to see a comprehensive story on the importance of the Hudson Valley region during the revolution. ` Mayor Pugh thanked the IDEA Committee and the Bennett Conservatory for putting together our Juneteenth celebrations, thanked the Fox Eklof American Legion Post 505 for their help in the 250th commemoration and getting the Pomeroy signs/markers installed, and our Village Historian Marc Cheshire who has been helping to educate residents in Croton and across the County about the Revolutionary War, a showcase will be held on August 1st at the Historic Hudson Valley. Mayor Pugh stated that he has now witnessed some of their misdeeds by Con Edison and in some instances there has been an acute failure by Con Edison. Mayor Pugh stated that we’ve responded promptly and sought to have those defects corrected but a lot of other challenges that we face with them, as acknowledged earlier today in the Manager’s report, are the consequences of entrusting so much of our utility infrastructure to a for profit monopoly, the discussions of the advantages of public ownership and democratic accountability has been settled for a long time but he is very happy to reopen it again, but within the confines of the current system that we have, the Village will be in touch with the Public Service Commission and attempt to hold utilities responsible but it is a very challenging position to be in.
