Woodbury Village Board Reorganization Meeting: Appointments, Policy Adoptions, and Procedural Approvals
The village board held its reorganization meeting, appointing new deputy mayor and consultants, adopting policies, and approving meeting procedures and a procurement policy. Key appointments included Christopher Gratziano as Deputy Mayor and Christopher Gerver as Chairperson for the Planning Board, and Craig Brady as Chairperson for the Zoning Board of Appeals. The board also authorized H2M Architects and Engineering and Lankin Tully Engineering and Surveying as village engineers for fiscal year 2026-2027 to file applications on behalf of the village. Membership in various associations, designation of the Times Herald Record as the official newspaper, adoption of an investment policy and reimbursement rates, and public comment procedures were also approved.

Woodbury Village Board Discusses Taxation Law and Site Plan Enforcement
The board conducted a public hearing for Introductory Local Law 4 of 2026, which aims to amend Chapter 277 (Taxation) of the village code to add a new article for the payment of taxes and fees prior to board approval. A suggestion was made to combine this law with another concerning code violations for efficiency, but it was decided to keep them separate as one deals with taxation fines and the other with site plan violations. The public hearing was closed, and a motion was made to adopt Local Law 6 of 2026. Separately, a public hearing was opened for Introductory Local Law 6 of 2026, concerning site plan enforcement by amending Chapter 310-45 of the village code. The planning board requested to comment on this law, leading to a decision to continue the public hearing to a later date (July 30th, 2026) after receiving their feedback. This law is intended to provide for the enforcement of site plan planning board resolution approvals.
