Re: Sand and Salt cooperative agreement for 2025-2026

Dear Mayor Smythe:

This is to confirm the cooperative agreement for sand and salt for 2025-2026. The Town Highway Department will act as a distribution center for the sand and salt required by the Village of Red Hook. Ice control materials will be loaded onto the Village trucks and the driver will obtain a signed ticket for the loads.

The sand, salt and Magic Liquid salt treatment are purchased through State or County contract pricing and a 3% administrative charge will be added. Sand and salt pricing may be adjusted according to the ratio of materials used.

Pricing for 2025 Calendar year: Treated salt: $67.50 Sand/Salt mix: $39.50 per ton

Pricing for 2026:

The Highway Department keeps a stockpile of salt on hand for the beginning of the winter season. Once the stockpile is depleted, we will take delivery under the new salt contract, which will result in a price increase. The new contract salt price will be $78.00 per ton (untreated). The treated salt and sand/salt mix will be calculated accordingly; we are waiting for the price of the treatment we use on the salt.

In our effort to put less total material on the roads, we will be using a ratio of 25% sand and 75% treated salt. Since the salt is the de-icing factor, the amount of sand-salt mix may be reduced accordingly by re-calibrating sanding equipment, reducing the tons per lane mile.

Estimated cost of treated salt: 90.25 per ton

Estimated cost of 25% sand and 75% treated salt: $70.69 per ton

Please sign and return a copy to the Highway Department. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Theresa Burke, the Town of Red Hook Highway Superintendent.

Agreed and Accepted:

Karen Smythe, Mayor, Village of Red Hook

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. ## 1. **Scrap Metal Program:** |Revenue received (4/30/25) since the last report was|**$654.40**| |---|---| |Total revenue for this Fiscal Year (Jun 2024- May 2025) to date is|**$5477.30**| |Proceeds from the program go towards the purchase of tools & equipment for the Public Works Dept.<br>Residents & businesses interested in donating metal may contact the Village Clerk’s ofce to schedule a<br>pickup.|| ||| ## 2. **Trash & Recycling Pickup:** Trash & Recycling must be out before 5am on Monday mornings. Cardboard bundles should be bound together with string or tape. Paper recycling should be placed loose within a lidded tub or bin. **Do not place brush and leaf piles covering water or sewer shut offs or on top of fiberoptic ground vaults.** Bulk Item tags are available for purchase at the Clerk's office. Recycling Pickup alternates between Yellow (Paper & cardboard) & Blue (Metal, Plastic & Glass). The Dual-Stream Recycling calendar and guide can be picked up at the Clerk's office, or found online at redhookvillage.org/recycle Residents can drop off household compost at the Town Recycling Center, Wed & Sat 7:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. ## 3. **Street Light Complaints:** If you notice a street light out in the Village: You may notify Central Hudson directly by going to: cenhud.com/en/outages, selecting ‘Report a Street Light’ and filling out their online form. ## **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.
