MECHANICVILLE, June 5 – The City Council held the first of several public hearings expected over next few months   to update and make changes to the charter and city code.

The June 5 public hearing was on the charter portion of the project.

Accounts Commissioner Mark Seber pointed out that the Council considered a hearing at the next meeting, but that is July 3. While there will be a meeting as usual at 7PM, it was felt the coming holiday makes it not the best time for a public hearing.

City of Mechanicville Launches New Housing Rehab Program $340,000 in Grants Now Available

MECHANICVILLE - The City of Mechanicville was awarded a HOME grant from the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal in December 2012. Grants of $5,000 to $25,000 per residential unit are now available from the City for the purpose of making health and safety, energy efficiency and other critical improvements to both owner-occupied buildings (including one and two family properties).

   The purpose of the HOME program is to increase the availability and quality of affordable housing for low-income families. As such, all residential units rehabilitated using HOME funds must be occupied by families whose annual income does not exceed limits established by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development for Saratoga County.

Camoin Associates of Saratoga Springs is under contract to administer the program, in partnership with the City. Application materials will be available starting Thursday, May 30th at the City Accounts Office in City Hall, 36 N. Main Street, Mechanicville, NY 12118. Contact Gina Kenyon at the City at 664-7303 for information on how to apply. Applications will not be accepted after June 28th and will be time stamped, so the sooner you are able to submit a complete application the better.

“I am thrilled to be able to offer financial assistance to residential property owners here in the City. This is an important piece of the City’s economic development goals and we are looking forward to getting the program started,” said Mayor Anthony Sylvester.

For more information on the City’s new HOME Program, contact Gina Kenyon at City Hall at (518) 664-7303. A detailed summary of eligibility criteria and other requirements of the program is available upon request.

Chief Joseph Waldron addressing the City Council at its May agenda meeting reported that there has been a rise in such incidents, and the department will be "taking a strong stance against loitering." He said two persons were seriously injured from one fight that developed inside the Plaza.

Another time, officers pulled over “a car with six people, vodka and a 30 pack of Budweiser, and not one person over 20."  One became resistant and injured an officer, he added.

Where There is Love – By Sandy McBride

With this heartfelt theme, the All Saints on the Hudson Youth Council has once again put on a successful benefit basketball night to raise funds to assist two families in the Mechanicville and Stillwater communities who have been in the fight of their lives.

The love was apparent on Saturday night, April 20 as a near-capacity crowd gathered in the Mechanicville High School gym to cheer on teams from Mechanicville and Stillwater, to purchase tickets on a fantastic array of raffle baskets donated by local businesses, school groups, organizations and families, to enjoy good food and good company, and to show their shoulder to shoulder support for these two families.

Michelle Sorell DePasquale is battling cancer. The wife of John DePasquale and mother of Michalena and Angelia, Michelle is well-known throughout the community, involved for years in not just community events but also in children’s activities with her two young daughters. Michelle is a symbol of courage and commitment.
