Village of Red Hook Village Green Committee Monthly Report January 2025 Spring Planting planning is underway, if you are interested in having trees planted, please reach out. We are looking to add trees to any of our village streets so if you are out and about a see an open space maybe in front of new or old businesses you can send those suggestions to us as well. We are actively recruiting members. If you are interested in giving back to your community but don’t have a lot of time to give this may be the perfect committee for you! Village of Red Hook Sewer Department Monthly Report January 2025 In January we worked hard to continue to address the issues that the WWTP has been having. We had received our report back from the Audit that had been scheduled the previous month. Unfortunately, there were several areas of concern, even after the “food dump” in December, that came out of the audit. The audit was thorough and documented many facets of the state of the wastewater treatment plant, processes in place, etc. Based on the report from the project manager we worked on a priority list and slowly have been working to rectify and fix each area we can as quickly as possible – some of which is on an operational standpoint and others are mechanical. Systems had been down and are waiting on parts to fix completely. Additionally, as we think about the expansion, we been working with the Senior Project Manager to provide detailed SOPs for our Wastewater Treatment Operator to follow. The Board also voted to send out an RFP for our WWTP and our Water systems. We continue to have conversations at the department level of what makes the most sense. Additionally, mid-January the team met with a representative from New York Rural Water Association who has experience with sewer code and functionality of WWTPs in general. We are seeking out the experts in the field to continue to help guide us in this endeavor. We are sympathetic to the concerns that this under operating plant has caused and that is why we are actively working to try to fix and repair what has been done and to implement process along that way to hopefully prevent this from happening again. We meet every other Friday. If you have concerns about the expansion and/or are currently in the Sewer Use Area and have comments, concerns, etc. please do not hesitate to reach out. There is also the expression of interest form up on our website if you are wanting to connect into the sewer (capacity required). It will put you on our list of places to consider and puts you on our radar. Village of Red Hook Speed Limit Initiative Monthly Report January 2025 We are waiting to hear back from the Engineering team about tackling a portion of the report around the School Zone separately from the overall Village speed limit so that we can move forward. Village of Red Hook Town of Red Hook Greenway and Trails Committee Monthly Report January 2025 The meeting met on the second Thursday of the month at Town Hall. The committee picked up where it had left off in November continuing to discuss signage along the trails, new blazing projects with Winnakee Land Trust, as well as wanting to collaborate to create alternative or safer pathways into the village from the neighborhoods just next to it. Village of Red Hook Climate Smart Communities Monthly Report January 2025 We tabled at the recent Repair Café announcing that the Compost program will be launching soon. This had a lot of community engagement and residents seem to be excited about this program coming directly to the Village Center.
