Votes at a glance: Rye Brook trustees pass routine appointments, contracts and local law changes
Summary
At its April 8 meeting the Rye Brook Board of Trustees approved a package of annual organizational actions, appointments, a local law change to remove notary requirements for online applications, several donations and contracts, and authorized intermunicipal and vendor agreements.
The Rye Brook Board of Trustees on April 8 approved a set of resolutions including administrative appointments, committee reappointments, a change to application notarization rules, equipment and contract approvals, and a multiyear emergency medical transport agreement. These items were passed by roll call votes; most were unanimous.
Key outcomes included:
- Adoption of a local law amending Chapter 9 of the village code to permit electronic signatures and identification uploads in lieu of a required notary for permit and application submissions. The board held a public hearing and adopted the law by resolution.
- Approval of the annual organizational resolutions and consultant appointments (village attorney, auditors, engineering and planning consultants, depositories and signatories). Trustees reappointed chairs for multiple boards and authorized meeting schedules and bank depositories.
- Permanent appointment of a senior office assistant (Jessica Carpentieri) following recanvas of a provisional appointment.
- Appointment of Ben Becker as recreation supervisor (start date April 28, annual salary noted in the motion) with a unanimous roll call vote.
- Approval of a one‑year extension of the emergency medical transport agreement with Port Chester‑Rye‑Rye Brook EMS (authorizing continued transport services under the stated terms).
- Authorization of a one‑year maintenance agreement for police radios with Eastern Communications and acceptance of two small donations (a $300 sponsorship from Yale New Haven Health for the senior center intergenerational game night; a donated 2018 dual motorcycle trailer for the police department valued at $2,500).
- Approval of a budget transfer of $32,000 to cover repair work on a fire engine (transfer from sewer account to central garage contractual repairs).
All listed motions were moved and seconded and passed by roll call. For most roll calls that record appears in the transcript as unanimous 'Yes' votes from the trustees and mayor.
