The Pleasantville Village Board of Trustees held a regular meeting on May 27, 2026 (Tuesday, following the Memorial Day holiday). The meeting included a public hearing on a proposed change to Sunday morning field access, public comments on a major housing development, and approval of numerous resolutions related to village operations, the upcoming Pleasantville Music Festival, and a new police union contract.
The board approved the following resolutions unanimously (all votes were by voice vote with no dissents):
System. So I think it's sure people. All right. Are we ready? Yes. All right. We'll transition. Good evening all. Welcome to the Village Board meeting for the village of Pleasantville. Today is Tuesday, May 26th, a Tuesday instead of Monday, because our normal Monday was the Memorial Day publicly. We just finished the work session that began at 7 p.m. on a couple of subjects, including uh the long-term planning for the replacement of our water tanks as well as the Safe Streets for All project that is ongoing. And now we move to our regular meeting. I had a couple of announcements to make, and then we will um uh invite comment from anybody on any subject and then head to a public hearing. So here are the uh few announcements I had on my list. Uh one is uh thanks to all for our Memorial Day ceremony yesterday. Um uh our parks and rec departments, our uh police department, the Fancher Nickel American Legion Post, the high school band, as well as uh Catherine O'Brien, a high school vocalist, uh the uh Brownie troupe who assisted um the fire department really everybody uh participated and everybody was flexible as we woke up on a rainy day and uh uh looked at the radar and thought if we could hold off an hour from our usual start, we could make it happen. Uh the weather gods cooperated uh and everybody was flexible about it. So thank you for that. And thank you for everyone who participated and a shout out to uh folks who didn't to invite them next year. I really uh have come to view it as a kind of an important day for the village of Pleasantville uh as well as for our shared interest in our history. So um as we mentioned in our work session, we've kicked off this uh safe streets project, uh, a grant funded project. And uh two things of note uh there's going to be a public engagement session at the library on Wednesday, June 24th, 6.30 to 830. Uh, but at the same time, uh and and likely before that, we encourage people to go to the project website, which is Pleasantville Safestreets.com. You just repeat that all one word, Pleasantville Safestreets.com uh with quite a bit of information about the project as well as an interactive map uh where folks can offer commentary as well. So just to recap if you're able to come to the public session Wednesday, June 24, 6 30 p.m. at the library uh on the project website, Pleasantville Safestreets.com. Um our ban on gas-powered leaf blowers uh took effect on May 15th. So uh until the fall, gas-powered leaf blowers are outlawed in the village of Pleasantville. Please don't use them yourself. And if you have a landscape company that uh has failed to get the message, uh please ask them to stop. Do you mind if I interrupt for a second just to show we have please? Yes. Um in village hall, we have these postcards about the leaf blower law. One side is in English, the other side is in Spanish. It has a QR code to the website. Um so if you would like uh a non-confrontational way to communicate with your neighbors about the leaf blower law. I find this is very effective. Um so you can come to uh Alyssa's office and pick up a few if you would like to do so. Thank you for that. Um I've mentioned and will mention until it gets solved
