Newburgh council turns down assessments
City hall opens at 8 30 this morning with staff and a Spanish translator to assist residents in filling out forms. Mrs Shirlee Moses and fellow homeowners plan to hire a lawyer to challenge Christiansen's assessments. A protest is set for 7 30 tonight in front of city hall as angry residents vow the battle continues despite the council vote. John Carlstrom of the West End Citizens Group urged the council to seek fairness and payment of a fair share.

Hearing Continued On Hidden Valley Rezoning Plan
Mt Hope Town Board paused a public hearing on rezoning Hidden Valley Estates from residential to local business and set July 24 for continuation. About a dozen subdivision residents opposed the plan by William Miele and Nick Cocomello citing fears of creeping commercial development and impact on property use. The developers agreed to resubmit with strict limits on size type and appearance and to restrict future sale use of the site.

Port Jervis council weighs returning Wright’s five dollar fee
The Port Jervis Common Council discussed refunding Lester Wright five dollars paid for a copy of a resolution on a proposed city hall firehouse complex. The copy was invalid due to a mistake. Aldermen debated whether to refund the fee as copies of minutes may be kept in the library and access to back minutes requires a court order. The finance committee will decide. Additionally ZBA members were excused from Homer office building proceedings and named replacements faced possible conflicts of interest.
