Elmsford trustees approve tax-settlement payment schedule, CDBG amendment and contract amendment
Summary
The Elmsford Village Board approved three resolutions: a tax return settlement with a $5,674 payment schedule for 2022–2025, an amendment to CDBG/CDGP grants for a 91-line replacement, and a contract amendment with budget impacts. Vote tallies were recorded for each motion.
Elmsford Village trustees on Monday approved three resolutions affecting village finances and infrastructure, including a tax return settlement that set a $5,674 payment schedule for 2022–2025, an amendment to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG/CDGP) funding for a utility line replacement, and a contract amendment described as having budgetary effects.
The items were presented and moved during the meeting and carried by recorded roll-call voice votes. The board recorded votes on each resolution as shown below.
The measures matter because they commit village funds and alter local grant allocations for infrastructure work. Trustees also discussed the village’s overall property tax rate during the meeting and noted the rate was reduced this year, a point raised in general remarks rather than as part of the recorded motions.
Tax return settlement: The board considered “a resolution approving a tax return settlement for the firm group” covering tax years 2022–2025 and set “a payment schedule” of $5,674. The motion was moved and seconded and approved by recorded voice vote: Trustee Coffey, Trustee Dorio, Trustee Metellis and Mayor Williams answered “Aye.”
CDBG/CDGP grant amendment: Trustees approved “a resolution amending the county, the village we’re giving for this CDBG, CDGP grants for the 91 line replacement.” The motion was moved and seconded and approved by recorded voice vote: Trustee Coffey, Trustee Dorio, Trustee Corrales and Mayor Williams answered “Aye.” The transcript does not specify the exact grant award amounts or the village’s original grant terms.
Contract amendment: The board approved “the contract amendment contained in the budget effect as provided for a new share.” That motion was moved and seconded, and the recorded vote shows Trustee Coffey, Trustee Dorio, Trustee Corrales and "May Wood" (as recorded in the transcript) answering “Aye.” The transcript does not identify the contracting party or the dollar value of the amendment beyond the comment that it has budget effects.
Sanitation rates and tax-rate comment: Separately during general remarks trustees or officials clarified that sanitation rates discussed by the board apply to businesses, not residents, and are tied to the amount of commercial refuse placed for pickup by outside companies. The meeting also included a general remark that the village’s tax rate was reduced this year; the remark was part of broader commentary and was not tied to a separate recorded motion.

The transcript does not name movers or seconders for the recorded motions, and in some places uses generic phrasing (“So moved. Second.”). The transcript does not provide exact dollar figures for the CDBG/CDGP amendment or the contract amendment beyond the $5,674 payment schedule noted for the tax settlement.
The board did not record any roll-call “No” or abstain votes in the segments captured in the transcript.
