Frank DeMarco, superintendent of public works, gave a summary of DPW operations and capital projects, and explained the village's current snow and ice-control methods.

DeMarco said the village now produces liquid calcium-chloride brine in-house and applies it to roadways before storms; the treated surface breaks the bond between pavement and snowfall, reducing the need to spread dry salt and delivering labor and material savings. He described modern truck-mounted computers that meter salt displacement based on lane miles, truck speed and weather conditions and said mixing liquid brine with dry material creates a more contained application and reduces runoff.

DPW reported work in 2024 including Main Street parking-lot paving, implementation of EV vehicle charging stations, a community garden project at Pleasant Avenue with Boy Scout participation, Midland Avenue sanitary-sewer upgrades, GPS mapping of infrastructure, rebuilding 75 stormwater catch basins, planting 78 trees, responding to 45 sewer emergency calls, and food-scrap recycling that reached about 70 tons for the year.

DeMarco said the department plans to install fabricated stormwater catch-basin grills to limit floatables reaching the Bronx River; the village secured a soil-and-water conservation grant to help cover the machine and material costs. He listed several grant awards and reimbursements that funded DPW activity in 2024, including CHIPS, PaveNY, "POP" pothole grants, a NYSERDA EV charging-station grant (amount specified in DPW remarks), FEMA reimbursements for storm recovery ($58,000), and Midland Street sewer upgrade funding ($150,000).

Trustees thanked DPW staff for quick responses during a New Year's Eve flooding incident and for routine snow clearing. DeMarco also reminded residents how to prepare Christmas trees for curbside composting (remove lights and coverings) and asked business owners to keep sidewalks clear of ice during winter.
