Key Actions & Decisions

• ◆ **Resolutions Passed**: None.
• ◆ **Resolutions Failed**: None.
• ◆ **Applications Reviewed**: None.
• ◆ **Public Comments**: None.
• ◆ **Reports**:
• ◆ **DPW Update (Debi Braddick & John Bouchard)**: Weekend Dog Park hours will remain the same for now. Dobbs Park playground work is delayed due to weather with no updated start date from the contractor. Sue Mandel requested a donated bench be placed at Croton Point Park rather than a Village Park. John Bouchard is coordinating with two other individuals who are also donating benches to the Village.
• ◆ **Recreation Update (Mark Duncan)**: Department operations are running smoothly and planning has begun for the spring/summer brochure. Croton schools will be available to host summer camps this year.
• ◆ **Gouveia Park Update (Debi Braddick)**: Shared a memo from Village Manager Bryan Healy stating that weather permitting, work will begin soon on driveway, drainage, lighting, and fence upgrades. A public meeting is scheduled for March 2nd to provide a property update.
• ◆ **Recreation Budget (Mark Duncan)**: The 2026-2027 budget will increase by approximately $25,000. The increase is primarily to hire additional staff for the Day Camp, which can now increase enrollment since it is moving from Holy Name of Mary to the Croton schools.
