The Village of Sugar Bush Knolls Council held its first meeting of 2026 on Jan. 6. The council met on a quiet, rainy Tuesday in a conference room at 154 North Water St. in Kent. In attendance were Mayor Jeff Coffee, Clerk and Treasurer Amy Mucha, Solicitor Eric Fink and Council Members Don Bishop, Elizabeth Hartley, Nicholas Jordan, Nate Mucha, John Palik and Marshall Moore.
Coffee led those in attendance in the Pledge of Allegiance to start the meeting. This was followed by Fink swearing in the two newly elected members: Palik and Hartley. This presented the council with a quorum, which they could use to approve the appointment of Bishop and Moore to fill the remaining open seats. Fink then proceeded to swear in the two new council members.
