There’s a special election on Tuesday Feb 9 for The Nyack Library District to decide if Michael Growney of Upper Nyack or Deirdre O’Hagan of South Nyack will join the library board. O’Hagen and Growney both received 107 votes during the Jan 11 library trustee election requiring this tie-breaker vote.
Registered voters living in the Nyack School District can cast their ballots at the Nyack Library between 10a and 9p on Tuesday. Valley Cottage residents will vote at the Valley Cottage library. The Nyack Library District (Nyack, South Nyack, Upper Nyack, Grand View, and the parts of Upper Grandview and Central Nyack) shares the same boundaries with the school district.
Michael Growney was one of four candidates nominated by the Library Board. Deirdre O’Hagan was added to the ballot after collecting 41 signatures of registered voters in the library district.
Roger Seiler says:
As announced earlier in the Journal News and in a flyer mailed to every postal address in the Nyacks (all zip 10960) and Valley Cottage (zip 10989), there will also be a library budget vote tomorrow, Tuesday February 9th. Polling is at both the Nyack and Valley Cottage libraries.
As advertised, a budget information meeting was held on January 26th. The requested budget increase, explained in the flyer and at the meeting, is 4.2% amounting to about $23.14 per year for the average household.
Voting is at the two libraries between the hours of 10 am and 9 pm Tuesday, and is open to all registered voters in the Nyack School district. If you live in Valley Cottage vote there (zip 10989), otherwise vote at the Nyack Library.
