Resolution #2-2026 — 2026-01-12

as per Village Code Section 165-1, the owner and/or occupant of every building and/or lot of ground in said Village adjoining which a sidewalk has been made, shall remove all snow and ice within 24 hours after a snow/ice storm
per Section 165-4 indicates that Red Hook Village shall cause such sidewalk or gutter to be properly cleaned and charge the expense thereof against the property owner in the next tax assessment to be collected with the next tax levy
Resolution 46-2025 was approved by the Board of Trustees on December 8, 2025, increasing the Snow Removal Fee from $2/linear foot to $4/linear foot and added a Salting Fee of $1/linear foot
the goal of this penalty is to ensure that all the sidewalks are properly cleared in a timely manner for the safety and security of all the Village residents
a tiered penalty would alert property owners at the first storm and further penalize those who continue to neglect their responsibilities of clearing their sidewalks

the Board of Trustees of the Village of Red Hook approve the revised snow removal fees to be as follows: First offense in a season - $2.00/linear foot, sanding/salting $0.50/linear foot; Second offense in a season - $3.00/linear foot, sanding/salting $0.75/linear foot; Third and any subsequent offence in a season - $4.00/linear foot, sanding/salting $1.00/linear foot
These fees shall become effective retroactive to the beginning of this winter season
The Clerk is directed to amend any invoices that have been issued to date
