The board appointed Jasmine Powell as pool director at $20.60 per hour, Aaron June as assistant director at $18.00 per hour, and Catherine Burch as head lifeguard at $16.75 per hour. Returning lifeguards were approved at $16.50 per hour (Lauren O'Connor, Cassidy Sickle, Victoria O'Brien, Phoenix Andrews, Owen Smith, Sydney Young). A single new lifeguard, identified in the meeting as Ziv Yuga, was approved at $15.50 per hour. The appointments were made effective immediately.

The village also set nonresident pass prices for the season: single nonresident $60, two-person nonresident $110, and family nonresident $135. Nonresident daily passes remain $5; visitors accompanying a resident may enter for $3. Officials said resident pools remain free for village residents and families.

Trustee Linda (first name used in the record) presented the motion to appoint the lifeguards and set rates; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Linda said the village hopes to open the pool earlier than last year, but a health department inspection is scheduled for June 26 and will determine the earliest possible opening. Officials said the pool typically opens on graduation weekend when possible but delayed openings have occurred previously because of staffing shortages.

The board also said the splash pad will be tested and expected to be ready around the same time as the pool start-up.

The village’s foreman, Lee Vanetten, reported that Flak Construction (the bidder awarded the contract) has started work on the sedimentation basin project, which officials described as a significant effort to improve the village’s ability to filter and process water. Vanetten also said the plant's storage tanks were cleaned and that crews performed mowing, service-line flushing and repairs on Fourth and Dock streets.

Dr. Joe Burns, a building department official, and Inspector Curtis were cited in the building department report for conducting inspections; Burns is scheduled to attend a related court appearance on June 12 regarding a stop-work order. The building department reported 11 permits issued in May.

Public-works crews also reported finishing nearly all work on a new park backstop at Mosier Park, cleaning the Veterans Memorial on Main Street and installing Boulevard of Honor flags. Village staff said the splash pad is \"99% done,\" requiring only initial start-up and tuning.

Officials noted routine issues tied to the seasonal hydrant maintenance: a water break on Dock Street and another on Fourth Street in the Town of Coeymans occurred, likely related to hydrant flushing and heavy rain washing away pipe support. The DPW also assisted neighboring municipalities with road sweeping and paving prep.

Village officials said the contract covers only engineering modeling and design work and that all costs will be paid by Carver Companies, with the village receiving copies of reports as they are produced. \"This will not cost the village nor its taxpayers any money,\" a village official said while summarizing the agreement.

Why it matters: The study is the first step in a multi-stage process that village leaders said is intended to protect existing customers by modeling impacts on water supply, pressure and infrastructure before any construction or annexation occurs.

According to the motion presented at the meeting, Barton & Loguidice — the engineering firm identified in the agreement — will prepare the design and construction-phase services and bill Carver Companies for all costs. The village’s role in the contract is limited to review and receipt of reports; the agreement includes an indemnification clause requiring Carver Companies to hold the village harmless for claims arising from the project.

Board members said the engineering work will include computer modeling to ensure the extension would not create a service burden for existing residents or businesses. The motion to enter the agreement was made during the trustees' reports and was seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote.

The village official who presented the agreement said that if engineering findings show the extension is infeasible or would place undue burden on the village, the project will not proceed. Officials also said that any subsequent steps would require further discussion, formal votes and additional documentation.

The agreement states that invoices from Barton & Loguidice will be paid by Carver Companies within 30 days and that all reports generated by the engineers will be provided to the village upon issuance. The agreement will be interpreted under New York State law, per the contract language read into the record.

Questions and next steps: Village leaders said additional engineering, permitting and approvals will be required before any construction could begin. The village did not provide a timeline for when the engineers’ reports will be completed or when a formal vote on construction might occur.

Provenance: Discussion and motion presented during trustees' reports (transcript segment beginning ~s:1685).","The Ravena Village Board voted to enter an engineering agreement, paid by Carver Companies, to study a proposed extension of the Port of Coeymans water district; the village says it will not bear the engineering costs and will review engineers' reports before any construction decisions.","actionData","errors"]
