Trustees approve budget transfer for court services and appoint Michael Glidden and Pearl Long to month‑to‑month roles
Summary
The board authorized a budget transfer within the village justice department to move funds from salaries to professional/consulting fees, and appointed Michael Glidden (position not fully specified in the transcript) and Pearl Long as assistant to the village prosecutor on a month‑to‑month basis.
The Village of Suffern Board of Trustees on Feb. 3 approved a budget transfer within the village justice department and made two month‑to‑month administrative appointments.
Treasurer Greg Smith requested a resolution transferring funds from salary and wages to professional consulting fees in the village justice department to allow the court to hire outside professional services and keep operations moving efficiently; trustees approved the transfer by motion.
The board also approved a motion to appoint Michael Glidden to a village position on a month‑to‑month basis; the transcript does not clearly record the exact title for that appointment. Separately, trustees appointed Pearl Long as an assistant to the village prosecutor on a month‑to‑month basis to help the prosecutor’s office handle cases more quickly; the motion was recorded as approved.
Why it matters: The budget transfer reallocates existing court funds to pay for contracted or consulting work, intended to keep court operations timely. The temporary, month‑to‑month appointments were described as measures to help the prosecutor’s office manage caseloads and coordinate with police when cases proceed to trial or settlement.
The motions were recorded as approved by voice vote; the transcript did not include roll‑call tallies for these items.
