Published: Jul 22, 2026
Town Board Approves Lifeguard Pay Increases, New Seasonal Hire, and Corrects Local Law
The town board approved several personnel and compensation matters. A motion was made to approve a pay rate increase for nine lifeguards, with specific hourly rates listed for each. Additionally, the employment of Keith Brat Jr. as a seasonal laborer in the golf department at a pay rate of $16 per hour was approved. The board also considered a motion to correct a scrivener's error in local law 4 of 2026, ratify it, and resubmit it to New York State, Sullivan County, and EC code 360. Finally, they moved to adopt local law 5 of 2026, which changes the zone designation for certain tax map numbers.
Town Board Authorizes DPW Repairs for Davos Point Roadway; Approves Zoning Change
A motion was made to set a compliance date for the repair of the driveway/roadway at Davos Point Condominium Association SPL. If the property owner fails to complete the repairs by the specified date (Sunday), the town board authorizes the town of Fallsburg DPW to make the necessary repairs and invoice the property owner. This action is for the benefit of health, safety, and welfare [cite: 882-890]. Separately, the town board also discussed and approved a local law (Resolution 56 of 2026) to change the zone designation for town of Falls SPL 63-1-4 and a portion of 62-1-20.1 [cite: 915-920].
Town Grapples with Water Main Issues, Commits to Replacement, Issues Boil Water Alert Explained
Supervisor's report detailed ongoing water issues, including a water main break in Hurlyville on the day of the meeting. The supervisor committed to starting water main replacement in the fall, with a plan to bid the project. Recognizing that grant funding may not be timely, the project will be broken into phases, starting with Phase 1, while grant money is pursued for Phase 2. The supervisor explained the origin of a water boil alert, which is triggered when system pressure drops below 20 PSI, creating a risk of backflow from homes into the system. Although the town's water department questioned the initial readings and the scope of the alert, multiple tests confirmed the water was safe. The alert was maintained out of an abundance of caution. Positive news was shared about the main tank on the Vista, which had been struggling with low water levels, now being over half full (20 ft out of 38 ft capacity). The supervisor also addressed a concern about a building project on Church Road regarding handicapped accessibility, stating it is compliant with building department standards, adhering to requirements for restroom access and safety in emergencies.
Town Moves to Address Davos Point Road Violations, Citing Safety Concerns
The public hearing for the Davos Point Condominium Association SPL57-1-13.21 involved a discussion regarding property maintenance violations, specifically concerning the condition of the roadway on Davos Road. Complaints alleged that potholes and roadway deterioration violate town code chapter 218, impacting public health, safety, and welfare. The town board is proceeding with a hearing to order corrective action. If the owner fails to comply, the town may abate the condition and charge costs, including attorneys' and consultants' fees, to the property owner, potentially assessing them as taxes. The roadway is described as being in 'awful shape' for years, leading residents to drive on grass, which was then blocked by boulders. The highway department plans to patch potholes rather than repave. The ownership of the road is disputed between Davos and the condo association, with neither party initially taking responsibility. The town intends to proceed with repairs and will bill Davos Point Condominium Association, levying costs as taxes if unpaid. The repair cost is expected to be minimal as it involves patching potholes, not a major overhaul.
Town Board Approves Zoning Change from Agricultural to Industrial for Glenn Wild Road Property
The town board held a public hearing for a zoning map amendment to change the designation of tax map numbers 63-1-4 and 62-1-20.1 from agricultural to industrial. The property is located at Glenn Wild Road and Old Glenn Wild Road in Woodridge, New York. The county planning department reviewed the proposal and had no comments, but recommended local determination regarding truck traffic. Concerns were raised about potential traffic impacts, and it was discussed that the planning board would address technical requirements, including traffic and drainage plans, setbacks, and site plan design. The applicant's representative indicated a willingness to adjust the main entrance location for traffic accommodation and to ensure secondary access for emergencies. There was discussion about moving the main entrance to Glenwell Road (off Old Glenwell Road) to keep traffic off of Old Glenn Wild Road. The vote on this matter resulted in one no vote and four yes votes, approving the zoning change [cite: 921-922].
