Votes at a glance: Rye Brook trustees approve hearings, EV chargers, street‑light contract, donations and minutes
Summary
At its April 22 meeting the Rye Brook Board approved multiple resolutions including a May 13 public hearing on street‑opening permits, agreements to install public EV chargers, a four‑year extension street‑light contract with Nix Electric, acceptance of a $500 sponsorship and a filming‑hours waiver.
The Rye Brook Board of Trustees approved several resolutions at its April 22 meeting. Key votes included setting a public hearing, authorizing agreements for electric vehicle chargers, awarding a maintenance contract, accepting a sponsorship donation and waiving filming‑hour restrictions for an upcoming production.
The board set a public hearing on May 13 to consider a proposed local law amending Chapter 215‑7 concerning street‑opening permits and restorations. Chris (staff member) said the change mainly cleans up code language to reflect that the superintendent of public works — not the building inspector — issues street opening permits. The motion to set the hearing carried unanimously.
Trustees approved entering agreements with INF Associates to install ChargePoint Level‑2 electric vehicle chargers at Village Hall (938 King Street) and at Garibaldi Park municipal lot. Staff said county rebates, Con Edison incentives and tax credits mean the installations are anticipated to cost the village no net capital expense, though the village will initially advance funds and later be reimbursed; the board authorized the mayor and administrator to sign required documents.
The board awarded contract 2504 for street‑light maintenance and related electrical work to Nix Electric as the lowest responsive bidder. The base bid amount reported on the record was $86,006.07; the trustees authorized extending the contract for the remaining years at the same unit prices subject to satisfactory performance.
The board accepted a $500 sponsorship donation from the Bailiwick Club to support an ice‑cream social event on May 16 and approved a waiver of village filming‑hours to allow interior filming at 800 Westchester Avenue between April 30 and May 1 from 4 p.m. to 5 a.m. The board also approved the minutes from its Feb. 25 meeting.
Roll‑call votes on the listed resolutions were unanimous among trustees present: Trustee Epstein, Trustee Heizer, Trustee Krom and Mayor Klein. Several votes included brief staff explanations; trustees asked for additional follow‑up information on maintenance/fee schedules for chargers and on vendor maintenance costs for the ChargePoint installations.
