Village Manager Bryan Healy's draft 2026-27 budget would lift the Croton-Harmon lot's hourly rate from a dollar to a dollar fifty, the first increase since 2010, while snow overtime runs at roughly $200,000 against $60,000 budgeted. Trustees Stacey Nachtaler and Maria Slippen questioned whether a $37,500 study of the village court is worth the money, and the board also took up a $1,789,929 fire engine.
