Airmont trustees approve organizational resolutions, contracts and operational purchases
Summary
At the April 7 organizational meeting, the Board of Trustees passed a slate of routine organizational resolutions and approved several contracts and purchases including an IT contract, a rock-salt purchase, street-light installations and stormwater program agreements.
The Village of Airmont Board of Trustees adopted its annual organizational resolutions and approved multiple operational contracts and purchases during the April 7 meeting.
Organizational and administrative resolutions approved by voice vote included setting the board’s regular meeting schedule (first Monday of each month at 5 p.m., with holiday adjustments), the holiday schedule for Village Hall, designated official depositories (Webster Bank, TD Bank, Bank of Mellon, M&T, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, Provident Bank, Key Bank), authorized public posting places (village bulletin board, village website, Town of Ramapo bulletin board), reimbursement policy for elected and appointed officials (actual necessary expenses, with IRS rate for private vehicle use), and a procurement policy governing competitive bidding. The board also authorized signatories for disbursement of village funds, requiring two signatures for disbursements of $500 or more, and adopted a harassment policy, standard work day resolution for employees, indemnification under Public Officers Law §18 and the 2025–2026 employee policy.
On contracts and purchases, the board approved the renewal of an IT contract with FYS Computers in the amount of $10,500 for June 1, 2025–May 31, 2026; authorized invoice number 3008 from Kosher Ice Cream truck for $1,500 for the spring cleanup event; approved O&R street lights at several listed poles including a white light at Thompson Drive; and authorized the village clerk/treasurer to purchase 252,250 tons of rock salt via OGS procurement services for the 2025–26 winter season (the village is responsible for 50% of the delivered amount and pays only for what it uses under the procurement arrangement). The board also approved entering the 2025 Stormwater Education Program agreement for $2,579.80 and authorized the mayor to execute stormwater control facility maintenance agreements after review by planning/zoning, the deputy village attorney, and the village engineer.
Other approvals included an intergovernmental agreement with Rockland County for mosquito control at 429 North Laurel Lane; approval of the treasury abstract in the amount of $186,243.71; and approval of the March 3, 2025 meeting minutes. All listed items were adopted by voice vote; the record in the transcript shows motions, seconds and ‘‘Aye’’ responses but does not list individual vote tallies or named movers in each instance.
Several routine items were enacted without extended discussion. Trustees noted the salt purchase is stored by OGS and the village only pays for the portion it uses; staff said the village was not short in the recent winter. The board also designated the Journal News as the official newspaper with paid subscription circulation.
The board took no unusual policy changes during the session; all organizational and contractual approvals were routine and approved by the board.
