Ravena Village board sets 10 mph near Mosier Park, moves March election and approves transfers and bills
Summary
At its Oct. 7 meeting, the Ravena Village Board of Trustees adopted a 10 mph speed limit near Mosier Park, moved the 2026 village election from March 17 to March 18, approved two budget transfers to fund paving and water-line work, and authorized payment of audited bills.
The Ravena Village Board of Trustees on Oct. 7 adopted a resolution setting a uniform 10 mph speed limit on streets near Mosier Park, approved a state-required change to the date of the village’s next general election, authorized two interfund transfers to cover a water-line project and parking‑lot paving, and approved payment of audited bills.
The board approved Resolution No. 15‑2025 establishing a 10 mph speed limit on Pulver Avenue (from Pulver and Dempster heading north), all of Park Drive and all of Whitbeck Street, citing pedestrian and park-user safety. The resolution directs the public works department to install signage and authorizes police departments to enforce the new limit. The resolution took effect immediately upon passage and was recorded as adopted unanimously by the board and mayor.
Trustees also passed Resolution No. 14‑2025 to move the village’s next general election from Tuesday, March 17, 2026, to Wednesday, March 18, 2026. The resolution cites Election Law §15‑104 and instructs village officials to publicize the change; board members noted the need for prominent advertising because residents commonly expect Tuesday elections.
On finance items the board approved interfund transfers and appropriation changes requested by staff. One transfer — described by staff as associated with a Central Avenue water‑line project — increases interfund and several line items by $2,319.55. Separately, the board directed $30,475 from building reserves to the general fund to cover paving of the village parking lot; that transfer was accompanied by increases to appropriation and building‑repair line items noted in the motion. The board also approved payment of audited vouchers 5‑1 through 5‑54 totaling $156,116.81.
All motions mentioned above were moved and seconded on the record. Where a roll call was not read into the transcript, the minutes record the motions as accepted or adopted during the meeting.
Items that will require follow-up include signage installation for the new speed limit (assigned to public works) and public notice of the election date change so residents are aware of the Wednesday date in March 2026.
