Hurley town board works on familiar issues with familiar faces by Nick Henderson /HV1

Hurley’s town board has voted unanimously to appoint former supervisor John Perry as deputy supervisor for two years with an annual $2500 stipend. The deputy supervisor sits at the town-board table during meetings and participates in the discussions, but is a non-voting member. He runs meetings in the absence of the supervisor.

The town board also unanimously appointed Perry part-time recreation director at $15 per hour, with a maximum of ten hours per week.

The town-board meeting last week also discussed progress on three chronic issues:  the two water districts in West Hurley owned by the  Hudson Valley Water Company, the case for lowering the speed limit on Zandhoek Road, and the Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency’s willingness to pump leachate from the holding tanks at the former Hurley landfill.
