This meeting includes public hearings on a local law creating a new Village Police Commission, followed by the law's adoption by a 3 to 2 vote creating a new body to oversee the creation of a three-member committee consisting of Mayor Jenkins, Trustee Hutchins, and Bess Davis (though Ms. Davis left before her appointment was announced and has not yet publicly accepted); and a public hearing on a yet-unfinished local law on tow trucks.
Trustee Rue and Trustee Marinello voted "No" to the law's adoption. However, Trustee Marinello then voted "Yes" to appoint the three named above. Mayor Jenkins, Trustee Hutchins, and Trustee Matthews all voted "Yes" to both measures. Mayor Jenkins' additional salary, as authorized in the new law, has not yet been determined.

audio recording brief conclusion to public hearing, adopting 0% tax increase for 2011-2012.
Those members of the Board of Trustees who attended (Mayor Jenkins, Trustee Hutchins, Trustee Matthews, and myself), together with Treasurer Heather Berg, did a wonderful job of working together to deliver Monticello a budget with no increase in taxes for the coming year.
