The board was presented with minutes from the March 24, 2025 regular meeting and a March 31, 2025 special meeting for acceptance; trustees discussed whether canvass minutes should appear on the agenda and agreed to place the approval on the calendar. The transcript records staff saying the minutes and other resolutions will be placed on the next meeting’s calendar for formal action.

Trustees heard a standard-yearly resolution on unpaid taxes; staff noted April 30 was the last day for payments before an additional 1% penalty would apply and that the village will update the list of unpaid accounts and proceed with the usual May tax-sale process.

The board received a resolution calling for a public hearing described in the packet as “20 25 20 26 by an apartment contract” for May 19, 2025 at 7 p.m.; staff said they would research whether the item represents the second year of a planned increase and circulate details to trustees. The transcript does not provide a statutory citation or full description of the contract; the record shows staff will follow up with an emailed explanation.

A resolution to designate PKF O’Connor Davies LLP as village auditors for the fiscal year June 1, 2025–May 31, 2026 appeared in the packet; staff said the audit engagement and fee are included in the draft budget and the item will be placed on the next agenda for formal vote.

The library director requested permission to hold an annual children’s sidewalk-chalk event on a Saturday in April 2025 from 10 a.m. to noon at the library entrance and the east entrance to village hall, with a rain date of May 3, 2025. Staff said no formal board resolution was required; the clerk will issue a confirmation letter.

The traffic committee recommended denying an additional stop sign at North Corona Avenue and Westchester Street; trustees accepted the committee’s recommendation and the issue will not proceed to signage installation.

The board reviewed three facility-use requests: a June 23–Sept. 5, 2025 basketball clinic Monday–Friday from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. presented by Core Group Enterprise Lab (courts to remain open to residents), the Ed Farrow Memorial Tournament with dates listed in July and August (Thursdays/Fridays), and a request from the Church of the Blessed Sacrament to hold a family festival Thursday–Sunday, Aug. 7–10, 2025, with games and entertainment on church property and a petition to close McKean Avenue from Central Avenue to East Avenue during the festival; staff noted the street closure was requested in last year’s application as well.

The meeting concluded with motions to close agenda items and adjourn; roll-call votes on the closing motions recorded Trustee Thomas and Trustee Daley as voting yes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","March 31, 2025 (Work Session)","oneSentenceSummary","Trustees reviewed routine minutes and fiscal items, set a May 19 public hearing, designated auditors for next fiscal year on the coming agenda, confirmed community events, and accepted the traffic committee’s recommendation against a new stop sign.","taxTitle","Valley Stream, Nassau County, New York","taxId",52849,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6093125,"Village to trial alternative sales route for obsolete fire vehicles after poor auction returns",50,183000,233000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2849326-41deefaaa70127337452fb287a769793&start=183&end=233","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2849326-41deefaaa70127337452fb287a769793/thumbnail_183000.jpg","/articles/6093125/Valley-Stream/Nassau-County/New-York/Village-to-trial-alternative-sales-route-for-obsolete-fire-vehicles-after-poor-auction-returns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6093125-c2577b65f4f23522a3fd86490e3136a1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159845&Signature=ZE9OQYU1Z436sb3sd2zJYLpMEdyupWPlzHnAQj0dLfN7rYaQ1aQaMYx2ImETrISZwQqDDgLap1x5AkJdLYYWa82bBFG7UAvOERD9uaZypUwJCre5YoN1q-5hQA-wKKl1Oj0Crd~uS2SMnHihHZ40RcvDDZY-y5nhL3Nm9z4rY4ejihTg7UC~JdfMmB3A5oexbBaMz2cPF2M~zqp1ATYHlpXvZKRJXK4GnSHIp1tjNYuJ6ayiMlpgyTIlEb8Ud6fJ-lSgF1Hsqca6xDDURgc2vxuzyJlJOOLMWDFUpV8gtAk6L-JocrX-7ysxNNQio-FB8c1Blu7dUvaCCNftDwrbBA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Village staff briefed the Board of Trustees on plans to try an alternative vendor for selling obsolete fleet vehicles after receiving poor returns from the municipal auction service.

The staff presentation said two vehicles are being declared obsolete and the village has had “very little to no success” with the auction provider; in many cases staff said the village might recover more value by scrapping the units. Staff identified Signal Fire Fire Apparatus as a potential buyer/reseller and attached the vendor’s list prices in the meeting packet.

Robbie Lano, who has taken over fleet services, will coordinate the trial. “If these two go well and we get much more money than we’ve been getting in the past, we’ll move forward with the rest of the business,” a staff speaker said. Staff described the first two vehicles as a test to evaluate whether resale lists from Signal Fire produce better net revenue than the current auction route.

Trustees and staff said they have been meeting regularly on fleet issues and will evaluate the results before authorizing additional dispositions. The presentation did not include specific dollar amounts for the two vehicles; staff said they will report back with results.

There was no vote to authorize a sale at this meeting; staff described the plan as a trial and asked the board to allow staff to proceed with evaluating the first two vehicles.","Trustees heard staff describe a trial to use Signal Fire Fire Apparatus (an alternative reseller) to dispose of two obsolete vehicles after limited success through the municipal auction provider; staff said scrapping may yield more than auctioning for some vehicles.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6093130,"Valley Stream staff recommend switching parking meter merchant services to Citizens Bank to cut processing fees",81,244000,325000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2849326-41deefaaa70127337452fb287a769793&start=244&end=325","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2849326-41deefaaa70127337452fb287a769793/thumbnail_244000.jpg","/articles/6093130/Valley-Stream/Nassau-County/New-York/Valley-Stream-staff-recommend-switching-parking-meter-merchant-services-to-Citizens-Bank-to-cut-processing-fees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6093130-5683face9030de3ae51c6cdaffef1595/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159845&Signature=Y-TtQ32HFnkBAEeRFKxCxweZ23W-NusLKtGMjFHV-VZoSCVGMR7w-iZTK0PUO3ExWCupruHnwDXU8fn-D1Mll0y9ZVR~BD~iDnbJPSAPspU0ZVfyEais4ePWNcoXIqyzYzK6qZJFgwsCx9tpKkkQyvU4NiF7sLW450q~3IXYIwv~yB9dLb5u8kMf-v7SknE~MGqni0oAgl9LLNL6VeFDu8MSu26OgN7NHtouO2dsGCHZEBpaP5n9SBsleE1H5a9x69cqKlANzfp4d7H6XsYUF2-v6VVbubhzf2TVEndOT44EuytfRVlfjhFpznYlzNpGZdQ1ouzX6fdrSmwFvXXgWw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Village of Valley Stream staff told the Board of Trustees on a regular meeting that Citizens Bank has proposed replacing the village’s current merchant services provider for parking-meter transactions and could reduce monthly administrative fees.

Michael, a village staff member, said the village currently pays TSYS about $7,500 to $8,000 per month to process credit-card payments for parking meters and Flowbird transactions. “They project that they’re going to be saving us between $800 and $1,100 a month based on our current activity,” Michael said.

The staff presentation said Citizens Bank performed a three-month analysis of the village’s statements and has existing relationships with Flowbird, the parking-payment vendor. Michael said Citizens Bank would handle coordination with Flowbird and that the change would require no extra effort from village staff.

The board did not vote on a contract during the meeting. Michael said the item will appear on the village board agenda for the next meeting and, if approved there, the bank will provide a DocuSign for signature. “We really should DocuSign it when we pass the resolution next Monday night,” Michael said.

Trustees asked how Citizens Bank could reduce costs; Michael said the bank would offer lower per-transaction fees compared with the village’s TSYS rates. The transcript notes the village also explored moving merchant services for DaySmart recreation software but could not because DaySmart’s contract requires use of TSYS.

The board scheduled the contract authorization for the next meeting; staff said they will circulate the DocuSign package and provide a paper copy for the village clerk if the board approves the resolution.

The item will return to the board for formal action at the next meeting; there was no formal vote on merchant services at this session.","Village staff told the Board of Trustees that moving parking meter merchant services from TSYS to Citizens Bank could reduce administrative fees by an estimated $800–$1,100 per month; the board agreed to place the contract approval on the next meeting agenda.","actionData","errors"]
