Valley Stream trustees review routine resolutions, set public hearing and approve facility-use requests; traffic committee denies stop sign request
Summary
Trustees reviewed routine minutes and fiscal items, set a May 19 public hearing, designated auditors for next fiscal year on the coming agenda, confirmed community events, and accepted the traffic committee’s recommendation against a new stop sign.
At its regular meeting the Board of Trustees of the Village of Valley Stream reviewed a series of routine resolutions and community requests and placed several items on upcoming agendas.
The board was presented with minutes from the March 24, 2025 regular meeting and a March 31, 2025 special meeting for acceptance; trustees discussed whether canvass minutes should appear on the agenda and agreed to place the approval on the calendar. The transcript records staff saying the minutes and other resolutions will be placed on the next meeting’s calendar for formal action.
Trustees heard a standard-yearly resolution on unpaid taxes; staff noted April 30 was the last day for payments before an additional 1% penalty would apply and that the village will update the list of unpaid accounts and proceed with the usual May tax-sale process.
The board received a resolution calling for a public hearing described in the packet as “20 25 20 26 by an apartment contract” for May 19, 2025 at 7 p.m.; staff said they would research whether the item represents the second year of a planned increase and circulate details to trustees. The transcript does not provide a statutory citation or full description of the contract; the record shows staff will follow up with an emailed explanation.
A resolution to designate PKF O’Connor Davies LLP as village auditors for the fiscal year June 1, 2025–May 31, 2026 appeared in the packet; staff said the audit engagement and fee are included in the draft budget and the item will be placed on the next agenda for formal vote.
The library director requested permission to hold an annual children’s sidewalk-chalk event on a Saturday in April 2025 from 10 a.m. to noon at the library entrance and the east entrance to village hall, with a rain date of May 3, 2025. Staff said no formal board resolution was required; the clerk will issue a confirmation letter.
The traffic committee recommended denying an additional stop sign at North Corona Avenue and Westchester Street; trustees accepted the committee’s recommendation and the issue will not proceed to signage installation.
The board reviewed three facility-use requests: a June 23–Sept. 5, 2025 basketball clinic Monday–Friday from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. presented by Core Group Enterprise Lab (courts to remain open to residents), the Ed Farrow Memorial Tournament with dates listed in July and August (Thursdays/Fridays), and a request from the Church of the Blessed Sacrament to hold a family festival Thursday–Sunday, Aug. 7–10, 2025, with games and entertainment on church property and a petition to close McKean Avenue from Central Avenue to East Avenue during the festival; staff noted the street closure was requested in last year’s application as well.
The meeting concluded with motions to close agenda items and adjourn; roll-call votes on the closing motions recorded Trustee Thomas and Trustee Daley as voting yes.
