The Village of Red Hook Board of Trustees recorded several formal actions at its Sept. 9 meeting. Most items were routine approvals; the board also voted to authorize a major grant application tied to the sewer Phase 2 project (Resolution 34). Below are the formal outcomes recorded in the minutes and meeting record.

Votes and formal actions (summary)
- Resolution 34 — WIIA application for sewer Phase 2: Adopted. The board approved a resolution authorizing the village to apply for Water Infrastructure Improvement Act funds and authorizing the mayor to sign funding agreements. Motion moved by Mel Corco and seconded by Fran; outcome: approved by voice vote (tally recorded as five ayes).

- Narcan vending machine: Accepted. The board voted to accept a free Narcan vending machine offered by the county’s program to be hosted at Village Hall (installation and insurance to be provided by county); motion seconded by Fran. One trustee stated they wished to see the machine before final assent and recorded an abstention; outcome: approved (recorded as 4 yes, 1 abstain in the meeting dialogue).

- Employee Assistance Program renewal (annual contract): Authorized. The board authorized the village to renew its employee assistance program contract for $900 annually. Motion made and seconded during the meeting; vote recorded as in favor.

- Vouchers upon audit: Trustees authorized approval of vouchers for payment (checks to be cut midweek); motion and second recorded in meeting; voted and approved.

- Special meeting to certify unpaid taxes: Board members set a special meeting to certify the list of unpaid taxes as of Oct. 31. The group agreed to hold the special meeting on Thursday, Nov. 13 at 5:30 p.m. to allow the receiver of taxes to certify the list and meet county referral deadlines.

What the motions mean in practice
- The Narcan vending machine will be installed, maintained and restocked by the county program. Village staff said the county will supply a certificate of insurance and automatic supply notifications; the county will remove or service the machine if needed and will retrieve the unit if the supplying organization ceases the program.

- The employee assistance program renewal is a recurring annual contract required in part for CDL licensure of a DPW employee; trustees said the $900 annual fee covers services available to all village employees.

- The voucher approval and minutes approvals are routine fiscal and governance housekeeping items. The scheduled Nov. 13 special meeting responds to statutory timelines for referring unpaid village property tax rolls to the county for collection.

Details from the record (selected)
- Narcan vending machine: County supplies the unit, holds responsibility for maintenance and restocking; village to host at Village Hall (location options discussed near the Chamber building); county will provide certificate of insurance and letter of segregation to limit village liability.
- Employee Assistance Program: Annual renewal fee $900, program available to all employees; motion approved by the board.
- Special meeting for unpaid taxes: Agreed date and time — Nov. 13 at 5:30 p.m.; reason: to certify unpaid taxes as of Oct. 31 for referral to county.
