The annual March village election is still more than four months away and Mayor Carol Waller said Tuesday she is uncertain if she will seek a fourth term. Cooperstown’s first woman mayor said she wants to talk it over with her husband before she seeks two more years of a position which demands more and more time.

Waller said she has been too busy with the demands of being mayor, her business and family to have a chance to discuss another term with her husband although he has said he will support whatever decision she makes.

She has spent 14 years in village government _ eight as trustee and six as mayor.

Trustee Paul Kuhn said Monday he does not intend to seek re-election to a second three-year term.

``My feelings right now are that I will not run again,’’ he said.

Kuhn, the deputy mayor and former planning board chairman, said he was approaching 70 and his hearing is not what it used to be and he occasionally misses things in meetings.

He said there are some good new, younger trustees on the board and that the village will be in good hands.

With the caucus still two months away, Kuhn did not totally close the door to the possibility of running again, but said the chairman of the Republican committee needs to know now if he does not plan to run.

Kuhn said he currently has his sights set on finishing up the work he has started. One of the big things he would like to see accomplished is the implementation of paid parking in the village, which is likely to be voted on during Monday night’s board meeting.

``I want to see it go through,’’ he said.

Trustee Jeff Katz, a Democrat, who is also finishing his first term, said Monday he plans to seek another term on the board.

He said some of the highlights of his first term were working on concerts, reworking Doubleday Field and his research into the mechanics of the village becoming a city to take advantage of different revenue opportunities.

If re-elected, he wants to continue his efforts toward the possibility of Cooperstown becoming a city and to work on strengthening village government’s role in what happens in the village.

Candidates interested in seeking election to the board may do so through the party caucuses held in January, or by circulating an independent nominating petition.

The annual election will be held Tuesday, March 18.
