Deputy Mayor Melkorka Kjarval’s Monthly Reports **April, 11th, 2026** ## **Town of Red Hook Comprehensive Plan:** The Town committee meets monthly from 7:30pm to 9pm on the fourth Tuesday at Town Hall.

The surveys ask which communication methods work well as well as what could be improved. I posted a number of flyers around the Village hoping we will get more responses. To date we have gotten 29 responses - which while helpful, is not enough data to draw definitive conclusions. The Survey is available at: redhookvillage.gov/survey. - Fellow trustees please share this survey with any networks you know of so that we can get a better understanding of what improvements would be most effective. Each method of communication has tax dollar implications so we want to make sure that any improvements the Village undertakes are targeted. ## **Village and Zoning Review:** On March 9th, the Village Board adopted the North Broadway Corridor Land Use & Zoning Study. No other updates to date. ## **Planning/Zoning & Building Department:** See attached Reports
