Jim Planck is reporting in The Daily Mail in a cost-cutting effort, the Catskill Town Board has acted on a series of resolutions to reduce three full-time positions to part time, replaced one position with another, and reduced the hours of operation for the town’s senior center. The Washington Irving Senior Center will now be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., instead of the usual 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The center will still be open Monday through Friday. The change will be effective January 1. The senior center director position will be reduced from full to part time, as well. Town Supervisor Joseph Leggio said the actions taken were "all budgetary" necessities. The cuts are projected to save the town approximately $32,000. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
