Woodbury trustees approve abstract, authorize fire equipment purchase and amend start date for building department hire

The Village of Woodbury board approved routine financial and personnel items, including Abstract 14, a fire department equipment purchase and a revised start date for a building department hire.

Village Clerk McLennan read Abstract 14; trustees moved to approve it and voted in favor. The board also approved Fire Department Equipment Request 1 of 2025, described at the meeting as a purchase of 30 self-contained breathing apparatus masks and storage bags with a total reported as approximately $1,005.06. Trustees amended the previously approved start date for Anne Marie Murphy, appointed earlier as a full-time senior clerk in the building department, changing the start date to Jan. 2, 2025.

Votes at a glance: trustees approved Abstract 14; approved Fire Department Equipment Request 1 of 2025 (purchase described as 30 self-contained breathing apparatus masks and storage bags, total given in the meeting as approximately $1,005.06); and approved an amendment moving Anne Marie Murphy's start date to 01/02/2025.

The transcript records voice votes for these motions but does not include a roll-call tally for each item in every case. Discussions included a question about highlighted credit-card items at the end of the abstract and a brief clarification that some credit-card payments were due before the meeting. The board did not change the substance of the fire-equipment request beyond authorizing the purchase at the figure provided during the meeting.

The equipment request and personnel start-date amendment were presented as motions and approved by voice vote. The transcript did not identify the mover and seconder for each motion on the record; where names were provided in the minutes they were noted in meeting discussion.
