Due to the current situation with COVID-19 and subsequent social distancing guidelines, the Village of Menands Board of Trustees has decided to host its 2020-2021 budget hearing via webinar on Google Hangout Meet on Thursday, April 2, 2020 at 6:00 PM. Menands residents may participate in the budget hearing by clicking the link below or calling the number below and using the code provided. In order to comply with New York State law, this meeting will be recorded.
Once Mayor Grenier calls the meeting to order, we ask all attendees to mute their microphone to ensure that only the person recognized by Mayor Grenier can be heard and seen. Also, know that this hearing will be recorded so that it can be transcribed and posted for residents not in attendance to view.
Once it is time for questions from residents, if you have a question, we ask you to identify yourself in the chat log on the right-hand side of the screen and ask your question. Mayor Grenier will grant you the privilege of the floor and allow you to unmute your microphone. Once you are finished asking your question, we ask that you again mute your microphone so that everyone can hear and see the speaker.
To obtain an electronic copy of the preliminary budget prior to this meeting, please email Village Clerk Don Handerhan at handerhand@menands3.nsddev.com.
If you have any questions or would like to submit a question ahead of time to be read into the record and answered at the hearing, please email Clerk Don Handerhan.
