Festival recap: The festival featured a foam splash attraction that organizers said was “another huge hit.” The Ravena (transcript alternately spelled) Fire Department and others staffed booths and displays; festival organizers said the day also served as a recruitment opportunity for the fire department. Organizers thanked a list of sponsors and volunteers by name, including AmRise (formerly Wholesome), Gallagher Insurance, Nolan Propane, Carver Companies, Rail to River Brewing, Ravenna Shop and Save, Collins and Sons (which donated a dumpster), RCS Community Library and others.
Organizers also thanked law enforcement: “I think a lot of the success was contributed to having police presence there throughout the day. So thank you to, chief Tyrone and, Queen Anne's Police Department and the Albany County Sheriffs,” an organizer told the board, and officials said there were no issues during the event.
Pool and parks: The parks director reported season-end pool statistics: 348 total passes served 1,392 patrons; 101 “Queen” passes served 386 patrons; and 73 nonresident passes served 50 patrons (locations named included Baltimore, Catskill, Greenville and Hatticoy). The department also reported adult swim sessions averaging about 15 adults per session, water-aerobic classes with 15–20 participants per class, six weeks of swim lessons with more than 50 participants and that a new method of chlorine management saved nearly $5,000 compared with past years while keeping water chemistry within parameters.
Quotes and roles: the festival organizer thanked volunteers and sponsors: \"I could not have done it without my team,\" and the organizer and other staff credited police and volunteers for a safe, well-attended day.
No board action was taken regarding the festival or pool at the Sept. 2 meeting; the material was delivered as committee/department reports.","Organizers credited volunteers, sponsors and police presence for a successful Friendship Festival; festival attractions included a foam splash and fireworks.

Public works staff said the Magnolia Circle work will use a hot-tar application in cracks followed by a sealant layer intended to prevent water infiltration and subsequent freeze-thaw damage. Staff emphasized the method differs from traditional oil-and-stone resurfacing and said work would be limited to one lane at any time with signage in place.
Staff described the work as a pilot intended to extend the life of the pavement: \"This is a little more advanced. It's a hot tar application just in the cracks only, and then it gets a sealant on top of it. So there's no mess.\" They told the board that, if effective, the process could save years on a larger paving project.
Roads listed for full paving later this season include Laura Lane, Clearwater Street, Traver Street and Willis Avenue. Bids have come in and staff said they will review them and select contractors with the goal of completing the work before winter.
No formal contract awards were recorded in the Sept. 2 excerpt; the board received the update and staff said bids will be reviewed at a later date.","Public works described a hot-tar crack-sealing pilot for Magnolia Circle to prevent water infiltration and freeze-thaw damage and listed roads slated for paving once bids are reviewed.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6133362,"Village board approves interfund transfers to cover water and sewer accounts and pays audited bills",88,367000,455000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5704756-0d7f8102de7aa35bdda39a8923a02ba8&start=367&end=455","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5704756-0d7f8102de7aa35bdda39a8923a02ba8/thumbnail_367000.jpg","/articles/6133362/Ravena-Village/Albany-County/New-York/Village-board-approves-interfund-transfers-to-cover-water-and-sewer-accounts-and-pays-audited-bills","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6133362-eb9ec77b49af4a4e906c1026a1746838/orig.mp4?Expires=1775829412&Signature=jCHfVlWvjCHBAN5gOxMXIUefOSTeBw~GcrS0lMfVRITacvu4sPC5sOubg7Rwm5LiYoTecCRR64Hn5A6DjX2kDLAlT~DN4f~L9smK0UYx1HqEGXep9huxsM~No4iWR4TMkbR-KaUmEv814M-Qw7hVrWZDv78QAndahkHSJW-2QFsSeghVOtAMgeoJVZMXSLrmikz6LiFJnlLvziC62UggYWVEJAZXsLoetWGr15MdH9jzxR3YjAsJmqZeS9HRM62wXCGC96dq0~XHdbFw215yyz-CkHF8RIys8kF0Zjh0WzhFBHdfzkLICQSFWtCBIe9kR9vUDfstkGtglLWnQx7byg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village Board approved several interfund transfers and payment of audited bills at its Sept. 2 meeting.

Separately, the board approved transfers from the general fund to cover unpaid utility rents: $97,334.56 to the Water account and $132,318.31 to the Sewer account. Village staff said unpaid water and sewer rents would be re-levied onto village property tax for 2025 and 2026.

Public works staff told the board that construction on the sedimentation basin is under way: “The north wall is complete,” and “the removal of the sedimentation basin tops have been removed,” leaving concrete and brick supports that were removed to make way for reconstruction. The staff said the plant is operating at about half capacity while work continues and that a complete shutdown will be necessary to replace the main line that feeds the plant.
Why it matters: the shutdown will reduce available treated water and the village asked residents to limit outdoor and nonessential water use to help maintain service. The board was told to avoid sprinkler use and to schedule nonessential water use for the advised windows.
Public works staff gave specific guidance: “So again, if you got a hand water, just do it by hand in the early in the morning, 6 to 9, 6 to 9 at night,” and “No sprinklers. Just be conscious of what you're doing, please.”
Other water system work reported at the meeting included a replaced service line at the VFW post on Whitbeck Street and a patch repair after a sizeable water main break at 30 Main Street. Staff also reported routine testing of Dean’s Mill and Moxley Street pumps and daily plant maintenance while construction proceeds.
The board did not take a formal vote tied to the shutdown at the Sept. 2 meeting; the remarks were given as part of the DPW report and the board relayed the conservation request to residents.","At the Sept. 2 village board meeting, public works staff reported the water treatment plant is under reconstruction and operating at roughly half capacity; a full shutdown will be required to replace the main line into the plant, and residents were asked to restrict water use during specified hours.","actionData","errors"]
