Village information, with its status shown
Start with the office that answers your question
The Village of Cambridge lies within the Towns of Cambridge and White Creek in southern Washington County. An elected mayor and Board of Trustees conduct Village business through public meetings.
This site is being planned as a clearer home for Village government, services, forms, meeting information and updates. The Village makes forms and government information available through its existing website and office. Right now, this is a planning draft. We have not retrieved the original pages, so nothing here replaces them.
Use the pages below to find the responsible office, then check the date and status of anything time-sensitive before you act.
Four ways in
Pick the path that matches your question
Most visits begin with one of four needs: who runs it, who handles it, which form, or what happened.
Each page below explains one path in full. This page only previews them, so you can choose quickly and move on.
If you are not sure where your question belongs, the Clerk’s Office is the confirmed starting point for questions about Village information and documents.
Who decides: Government
Board of Trustees, meetings, planning and zoning boards, court and the Village Historian.
Open GovernmentWho handles it: Services
Public works, police, fire, youth, planning and zoning, court and library, each with its responsible office.
Open ServicesWhich paper: Forms & Documents
Forms, local laws, notices and meeting records, with the right way to verify each one.
Open Forms & DocumentsWhat happened: Updates
Dated news and participation information, with archived posts kept clearly separate.
Open Community UpdatesNotices and updates
No notice is shown as current until it is verified
The Village’s existing update pages and archive have not been retrieved for this draft.
That means we are not listing any notice, event date or call to action here. A notice that looks current but is not could send you to a meeting that already happened, so this draft leaves the space honest instead of full.
When the archive is exported, every item will keep its original date. Expired events will stay in the archive and will not be recast as upcoming.
How to read any notice you find
- Check the date first. An old date means archive, not an invitation.
- Look for the responsible office. A notice should say who issued it.
- Confirm before you travel or file. Call or email the Clerk’s Office to confirm a meeting or deadline.
- For danger or emergencies, call 911. Do not wait for a website.

Board meetings
Confirm a meeting in three steps before you plan to attend
The Board of Trustees conducts Village business through public meetings. The Board meets regularly, but this draft does not list dates.
No meeting calendar was retrieved, and we will not guess at dates, times or places. Agendas and minutes belong to the Forms & Documents directory once it is verified.
Find the posted schedule
Look for the Village’s official meeting schedule once it is published on the replacement site or the existing Village site.
Check the date and the status
A meeting is current only if the date is still ahead. Cancelled, moved or past meetings are not invitations.
Ask the Clerk to confirm
Email clerk@cambridgeny.gov or call +1 518 677 2622 to confirm time, place and how to comment.

Elected and appointed people
Names and titles will be added only from the Village’s own records
The Village is governed by an elected mayor and Board of Trustees.
We have not been given a verified list of the current mayor, trustees or staff, so none appears here. Offices change after elections and appointments, and a wrong name on a government site causes real confusion.
The Village’s identified offices include the Clerk’s Office, the Department of Public Works, the Village Court, youth services, planning and zoning boards and shared police services.

Source inventory, provisional
Every old route is listed, and none is marked as copied
No live pages, archives, tabs, embeds or button settings were retrieved. This table is a seed list, not a finished migration inventory.
Each row shows the old address, what we know about its subject, and what is still needed. Additional articles and routes remain unknown until a full archive discovery is done.
| Old URL | Subject (provisional) | Capture status | Proposed route | Dependencies and review issues |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| / | Home | Full content not retrieved | Home | Verify navigation, links, pop-ups, assets and actual copy. |
| /forms | Forms directory | Full content not retrieved | Forms & Documents | Verify every listing. Files on documents, forms and fd hosts keep exact paths. |
| /police | Police information | Full content not retrieved | Services | Verify contacts, emergency guidance, embeds and links. |
| /dpw | Public works | Full content not retrieved | Services | Verify schedules, conditions, contacts and linked media. |
| /historian | Title unverified | Full content not retrieved | Government | Need full export and linked destinations. |
| /youth | Youth information | Full content not retrieved | Services | Verify programs, dates, registration destination and archive status. |
| /fire | Fire information | Full content not retrieved | Services | Verify department branding and offsite links (fd host). |

Forms, laws and documents
Find the document, then confirm it is the current one
The Village points to online materials and to the Village Office for official copies of local laws.
Files hosted at documents.cambridgeny.gov, forms.cambridgeny.gov and fd.cambridgeny.gov are not moving. Their exact paths, filenames, query strings and fragments will be kept as they are, and no document address will be guessed from a title.
What this draft can do
- Group documents by type: forms, laws, notices and board records.
- Show who to ask to confirm a version.
- Keep original links unchanged once supplied.
What it cannot do yet
- Link to any specific form. No link inventory was supplied.
- State fees, deadlines or filing steps.
- Claim a document is the latest version.
Public meeting video
The live and recorded video page is not yet confirmed
The existing /live route may carry a video or other embed. Its title, contents and embed address are unverified.
We are not placing a video player or channel link here because we do not know the real destination. An embed pointed at the wrong place would be worse than none.
Once the full page and embed settings are supplied, the original destination will be kept exactly. Past recordings would be labeled with their meeting dates.
- Needed: the full /live page export.
- Needed: the embed or external service address.
- Needed: confirmation of whether past recordings exist.

Library and community
A library link stays a library link, not a Village service
The existing Village site carries library information and a link to the separately operated Cambridge Public Library website.
We will preserve that information and link when the source is supplied. The library is a separate organization, and the Village will not imply it runs the library.
The same care applies to other providers. The Cambridge water system, for example, is operated by Liberty Utilities, not the Village.
Materials we still need
- A full site export or complete page and article text.
- The navigation tree and archive pagination and category listings.
- Embedded link and button configuration.
- The document directory link inventory.
- Image files with captions and permissions.
- A list of media that depends on the old site account.
Supported and not yet verified
Supported now: a draft information architecture and page layout.
Not verified: a complete crawl, multi-page publishing, exact redirects, search, embeds, archives, migration and external asset continuity.
