Trustee Frances Uku’s Report for April 2025
Red Hook Village Public Works Department
Here are the Village Highway costs and expenses for the Month of April. Please refer to the attached Resource Recovery Data/Report.
Thanks to Mayor Smythe and Highway Foreman Jake Smith, I was able to accompany our diligent DPW staff at 5:15am on Monday April 28th for that morning’s trash and recycling run. It was very informative (and dare I say, fun?!) I have used the Village’s affordable and convenient service since my very first week as a resident, and intend to see it get even better. Many residents could benefit from learning how to put out their waste materials to prevent causing a mess of garbage on the street, or contaminating the recycling. I would suggest making Deputy Mayor Kjarval’s guides to Waste Collection, Dual Stream Recycling, and Calendar easier to access on the website. Visual guides can be easier to follow, and could help make pickups more efficient for the DPW.
Participation in Village Trash & Recycling pickup is currently low. I have been speaking with neighbors about what informs their current choice of waste management service provider. With your approval, I would like to post a questionnaire/survey on the Village website to gather more information about how best to serve our residents.

Red Hook Village Green Committee
The Village Green’s Spring Planting Day held on April 19th, 2025 at 9am in the Village Parking Lot. 11 trees were planted (please see attached list of locations.) Thus, we retain our status as a member of Tree City USA. Immense thanks to Trustee Bradley-Rickard for passing on extensive documentation and contacts from her tenure with the VGC and making my first Planting Day as Liaison a success.
Public meetings of the VGC are held the 2nd Sunday of the 1st month in each quarter at 6pm . The next will hold on July 13 . In the meantime, I look forward to introducing you to the members of the Committee for the 2025-26 year.
With the Board’s permission, I would like to send an official thank you letter by surface mail to all property owners who invited the Village to plant trees. I will forward the text of the letter within the next week, so it can go out promptly.
Thanks to all who attended the planting, to Dave Pearson for the tree planting demonstration, and to Kathy Pearson for the following photo.
