Town of Saugerties

What Town of Saugerties does

The Town of Saugerties is a municipal government entity operating under New York State Town Law in Ulster County, New York. Founded in 1811 on land originally purchased from the Esopus Indians in 1677, the Town serves approximately 19,038 residents (2020 Decennial Census) across a jurisdiction that wholly contains the Village of Saugerties (population 3,899). It delivers a comprehensive suite of local government services including 24/7 police protection, highway and road maintenance, water and wastewater operations (including the Glasco Wastewater Plant), parks and recreation (Cantine Field complex, Kiwanis Ice Arena, dog park, skatepark), building permitting and inspection, town court, tax collection, animal control, senior services (Greco Multi-Purpose Senior Center), and emergency coordination with the Diaz Memorial Ambulance service.

The Town's primary digital service-delivery channel is saugertiesny.gov, which functions as an informational and transactional portal for residents, supplemented by online payment systems for taxes (basgov.com), court fines (GovPayNow), and water/sewer bills (AuthorityPay). The Lighthouse TV23 public access cable channel, official Facebook page, community calendar, email newsletters, and press releases through Hudson Valley One and Daily Freeman form a multi-channel citizen communications stack. The Town is governed by elected officials led by Supervisor Fred Costello, with a Town Board, Town Clerk (Lisa Stanley), Highway Superintendent (Raymond Mayone), Tax Collector (Diane Friedmann), and Police Chief (Ken J. Swart, Jr.) overseeing operational departments.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: property tax collections, transactional service fees (permits, licenses, court fines), and state and federal grants for infrastructure and community development. The Town holds a Climate Smart Community Bronze Level certification (achieved 2019, among the first in Ulster County) and the Village of Saugerties contains a National Historic Business District designated in 1982. Recent strategic activity has centered on a 2026 Community Splashpad project funded by a $600,000 state grant in partnership with the Community Foundation, adoption of TextMyGov citizen notification, launch of Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) electricity supply options, and active Climate Action planning.
