Williamsville board approves several measures; tabling and off-agenda authorizations noted

The Village of Williamsville Board of Trustees took a series of formal actions at its March 10 meeting, approving finance and capital items and authorizing staff work while tabling a high-profile permit-fee change for further review.

Key approvals the board adopted at the meeting included budget transfers in the general fund for fiscal 2024–25 and payroll and vouchers totaling $205,261.69 covering the pay period from Feb. 10 through March 5. Trustees also adopted an updated building fee schedule to add a $50 permit fee for driveway/paving work under Local Law No. 5 of 2024.

Capital and facilities approvals: the board declared several fire department vehicles surplus (with one model-year correction noted) so the vehicles may be sold, and it authorized a $2,086.14 National Fuel quote to install a gas main and service for the Lehigh Valley Section House (to be charged to that facility’s capital improvement appropriation). The board also authorized a $4,982 contract to Armored Alarm Inc. to install two electronic access-control panels and readers at Glen Park (electrical room and restroom), to be paid from the Glen Park capital budget.

Committee and program actions: trustees established a volunteer Village Bioswales Committee to oversee plantings and maintenance of the village bioswales and authorized staff to begin recruitment; Deputy Mayor Tory invited interested residents to contact him. The board also authorized a sanitary sewer license agreement for 44 School Street (Christian Central Academy) in an off‑agenda action; staff said absent trustees were contacted and notified after the board took the off-agenda vote.

Tabling and procedural notes: the mayor read a revised mayor’s-permit package for the Music on Main season (fee schedules and seasonal permit options), but trustees delayed a final vote until absent members can participate. The board instructed staff to refine the permit language and present cost impact analysis for small businesses at the next meeting.

Each adopted measure was recorded on the meeting agenda and packet; motions, seconds and roll‑call tallies were not consistently recorded in the public transcript. Where the board authorized off-agenda action (44 School Street), staff said absent trustees were contacted following the vote.

Ending: staff will place approved contract notices and fee updates on the next meeting agenda as required, proceed with procurement and implementation for the authorized items, and return with updated permit language and an impact memo on Music on Main at the following board meeting.
