**Village of Red Hook ’ Mayor’ s Report February 2026**
## VILLAGE HALL
Internet: Archtop Fiber made the fiber connection to Village Hall in mid-February. All seems to be operating well. Next step is installation at the Water Treatment Plant. For the Sewer Plant, fiber needs to be installed in the ground which won’t happen until the ground has thawed.
Parking Lot Lights: The lights in the municipal parking lot are not working. There is a problem with the wiring that is planned to be fixed once the ground thaws and the electrician can make the repairs.
## SAWKILL WATERSHED COMMUNITY ADVISORY COUNCIL (SKWC)
The SKWC had a very busy month! The SKWC met on Eeb. 18[th] at 6:30pm in Village Hall to review the upcoming presentation by Eli Drueker of Bard College. Attendees were Karen Schnelling-McDonald, Sheila Buff, Jen Adams, Henry Woods, Ruth Ford, Amanda Sandor, Karen Smythe, Eli Drueker & Jordan Ayala from Bard College.
Eli & Jordan presented their database that was developed with funding from the Hudson River Foundation and includes all manner of data that goes back to the 1920s. The database will be housed on Bard College servers. The plan is for continued input of new data. There is a link on the SKWC website. Data regarding the water testing from the site at Benner Road, downstream of the WWTP discharge starts in 1975. I have a meeting with Eli later in March to discuss how to access this data correctly so we can see the impacts from the plants over time.
Details of the February 24[th] event were discussed. The Town of Stanford requested information about the well testing program that SKWC has done in the past. Additional water quality testing and funding was also discussed.
At the February 24[th] event at the Elmendorph Inn, the SKWC in collaboration with the Hudson River Watershed Alliance & Bard College, Eli Drueker & Jordan Ayala presented the database and Karen Schnelling-McDonald shared the activities of the SKWC over the last 10 years with a view toward what’s next. At the end of the program, Karen Schnelling-McDonald was honored for her 10 years at the helm of the SKWC as she is stepping down as Chair. I was honored to be able to present a Proclamation to Karen for her work and leadership.
The next meeting is scheduled for Wed. March 4[th] at 5:30pm in Village Hall to discuss 2026 priorities and a funding request from the Town. The next meeting after that is scheduled for Wed. March 25[th] at 6:30pm at Village Hall.
