Ilion Holds Hearing Tonight on Expanding Parks Commission to 11 Members, Nov. 2
A bigger commission means more seats for residents who want a say in Ilion's parks and rec programs, and the board could settle it the same night.

The Village of Ilion holds a public hearing at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 2, in the Municipal Building Auditorium, 49 Morgan St., on a proposed local law that would grow the Parks and Recreation Commission to 11 members, the Utica Phoenix reported. The village's own notice lists it as Local Law 6-2026.
What happens next: the Board of Trustees holds a special meeting right after the hearing. Trustees will discuss the proposal and may vote on it that night.
How to weigh in: residents can speak at the hearing. The proposal is available to read at the Village Clerk's office during business hours. The notice doesn't say how many members the commission has now.
