Trustees Talk Fees, Possible Dog Park, Fairy Spring Plans

By SARAH ROBERTS
COOPERSTOWN

The latest monthly meeting of the Village of Cooperstown Board of Trustees was held on Monday, February 24. Over the course of the meeting, which began at 6 p.m. and ran for roughly two and a half hours, the six trustees and mayor discussed matters including upcoming special events in the village, changes to parking regulations, grants and project updates, plans for a potential new dog park, and the results of the Village Seal Contest.

Among the special events discussed was the Lakefront Park Concert Series, as well as waiving fees for outside dining applications from restaurants, with the outdoor dining period beginning May 15. Deputy Mayor Cindy Falk noted that this is a bit earlier than normal.

“Some restaurants may want to start earlier if it’s nice out. Let’s hope so, after this winter,” joked Mayor Ellen Tillapaugh.
