Menands board approves warrants, adopts workplace policy; tables nuisance law
Summary
At its Aug. 4 meeting the Menands Village Board approved payroll and warrants, adopted a revised workplace violence prevention policy, authorized a DOT highway work permit signature by the mayor and tabled final action on a nuisance law revision.
The Menands Village Board on Aug. 4 took routine fiscal and policy actions, approving warrants and payroll, adopting a workplace violence prevention policy as amended and authorizing the mayor to sign a Department of Transportation highway work permit application. The board also tabled a proposed nuisance law for further review.
The clerk read warrants that included water and sewer payments and payroll. The warrant summary included: water $12,064.01; sewer totaling $63,156.09; and payroll number 4 listed as $141,044.43. A board member moved to approve the warrants; the motion was seconded and the board approved the warrants.
On the agenda, a board member moved and a second was given to allow Mayor Brian Marsh to sign the DOT highway work permit application for work related to a water and sewer project. The motion referenced a resolution number stated in the meeting as "resolution 2600 31" (transcript notation). The board moved and seconded the authorization; the meeting record does not contain a roll‑call tally in the transcript.
Board members discussed a draft workplace violence prevention policy and removed references to the court from the draft before voting. A board member moved to approve the workplace violence prevention policy as amended; a second was given and the policy was approved.
Trustees tabled further action on a revised nuisance law to give the board additional time to review where an updated provision would fit into the village code. The mayor said the nuisance law will be brought back to the next meeting.
Other routine actions included approval of minutes from the July 21 meeting as amended, and a motion to adjourn at the end of the meeting. Several administrative items were reported in the mayor’s report and department updates but did not require formal board votes at the meeting.
