The Sea Cliff Village Board of Trustees discussed various issues at the Monday night conference meeting. While such meetings are open to the public, these meetings are not open to public comment.

Sea Cliff Mayor Kennedy waited until 10:30 PM to discuss the issue of the tax cap – the last item on the agenda.

Despite widespread public opposition to overriding the cap, the Mayor plainly stated he is in favor of breaking the cap. Trustees Voght and Murphy also agreed with the Mayor by stating they strongly support a vote to override the cap. Trustees Hayes and Powell had no comment.

The Board tabled the issue until the next meeting.

This is still an active issue, and SCPOC will be closely watching the Village Board. We cannot afford to let our guard down!
