This is the last time we will be seeing this board.
As a result of the last election, Rosey Lyons Chase and Sandra David are being replaced by Gary Cooper and Rich Brenner. We look forward to their presence at the January meeting.

Town Board Special Informational Meeting on Library Referendum: Oct. 23, 2013
A special meeting was called to inform the community about the specifics of the upcoming referendum and give citizens the opportunity to discuss the issues with the Town Board. I can’t vouch for the information, but there sure was a lot of discussion!
I’m amazed at the number of people who come to this site only because of the meeting videos. I would assume that anyone interested enough to attend those meetings through video would be curious enough to see videos of the town itself. Check out the stories about the Dutch Schultz moonshine still, the history of Patchen Mills, some of the local businesses…. lots of stuff!
Take a stroll through Pine Plains Views.
Enjoy!

Town Board Special Meeting — September 11, 2013
The discussion was about the Library and the forthcoming referendum. After a brief opening the Board went into executive session and on its return engaged in a lively session with some members of the community about the right of the Odd Fellows to to remain in a private space on the second floor. See for yourself!
Town Board Special Meeting Sept. 5, 2013
Still the Library situation! The wording of the referendum was presented for discussion. George Whalen, of Stissing National Bank, was there to answer some questions, but not much could be decided as he had not heard from the Odd Fellows about the disposition of their private space. My understanding, and I wish I could offer a better one, is that a municipality cannot purchase a property that is encumbered with space allocated to a private organization.
Well, watch for yourself and see if you can understand it any better!
While you are here, why not see some more videos of Pine Plains? Take a virtual tour of Pine Plains.

Town Board Meeting, July 18, 2013
On a hot steamy night heads were kept cool and many decisions got made. We also met the new Officer in Charge, Officer Kilmer, who offered a new child-seat inspection and instruction service for parents. A promising introduction!
Highway Superintendent Barry Hays discussed on a major problem the town is having with some beaver dams that keep on being rebuilt in the middle of the night.
