Celebrating Hispanic Culture; Positive Auditor's Report
Congratulations to the Ossining Padres Hispanos for a successful second year of hosting the Hispanic Festival! The beautiful weather contributed to the cultural celebration filled with delicious food and lots of music.
Last week's work session included a very positive report from the auditors. Deepening our understanding of our financial health is particularly beneficial as we prepare for budget season.
Dog owners in the Village will be pleased to know that if they licensed their dog in 2017, 2018 or 2019 with the Town/Village Clerk, they can anticipate a refund. The refund will most often come as a discount to their 2020 dog license. Details of how the refund can be paid directly are being worked out now by staff. The final plan for moving forward with a unified dog license process for Village and Town residents will be up for a vote soon by the Village Board.
