Other talk highlighted an upcoming Animal Planet show on the town's Cat'n Around Catskill annual promotions, that see the placement (and later auction sale) of artist-painted cats around town, this Saturday, March 5 at 8:00 p.m., and an upcoming e-blast to go out for the Catskill Farmers' Market, which moved from Catskill Point to Main Street last year with almost unanimous success. On a less boosterist level, there was also talk about the brownfields pollution remediation taking place at a Water Street property near the Union Mills building, set for completion in 2012, discussion of recent snow removal on sidewalks, and sidewalks needing repair by private home owners, with plans to "ramp up enforcement" by next winter. Finally, a March 14 public hearing was set for re-zoning West Main Street to reflect its more commercial character of recent years.
