The Village of Airmont Board of Trustees approved emergency stormwater repairs for Ketch Basins and discussed village catch-basin maintenance after residents reported clogged drains during leaf season.

The board approved an estimate of $9,325 from CFA Excavating Services to rebuild a Ketch Basin at Fort Burrows Court and later approved invoice number 16585 from the same contractor for $62,000 for emergency basin work. The motions referenced a letter from village engineering supporting the work; both approvals passed by voice vote.

A trustee and staff also discussed catch basins clogged with leaves. A trustee asked whether the village contract with its maintenance contractor (referred to in the transcript as SIAF) includes fall and winter basin cleaning. Staff confirmed that the contract requires the contractor to identify and clean clogged basins and that the contractor submits records of work performed. The board encouraged residents to report clogged basins when observed so the contractor can be directed to address them.

The transcript indicates the board is prioritizing the worst infrastructure failures and that additional repairs remain pending; specific timelines beyond a follow-up to schedule the emergency rebuild were not included in the meeting record.
