Budget passes; still no decision on fire coverage

The Kinderhook Town Board met on Monday and voted to pass the final budget for the 2010 fiscal year. Though the vote was unanimous, the recent issue of who to give the town’s contract for fire protection to remained undecided, with the board allotting the money in the budget, but refraining from making a decision about which fire department — the village of Kinderhook or the town of Stuyvesant Falls — would get the contract.
