Fairport board launches SEQR review and sets Sept. 30 special vote for district capital project; board says no additional tax impact
Summary
The board adopted environmental review steps required by New York State for a proposed 2025 capital project, approved a proposition calling a special vote on Sept. 30, 2025, and approved a separate $100,000 annual capital outlay for Northside Elementary flooring.
The Fairport Central School District Board of Education voted to adopt environmental review steps under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR) for a proposed 2025 capital outlay project and approved a proposition resolution calling for a special district vote on Sept. 30, 2025.
Board members said adopting the SEQR resolution is a required step to proceed with the proposed work across the district and officially kicks off the campaign related to the project if the board moves forward. At a separate vote, the board passed the proposition resolution that schedules a special vote on Sept. 30, 2025 for a capital project referendum; board members repeatedly stated the project would have no additional tax impact as presented.
The board also adopted a separate resolution for a proposed capital outlay at Northside Elementary, described in the meeting as a $100,000 project included annually in the budget and associated with ongoing flooring work.
Board members and staff said the environmental review and the proposition resolution are administrative prerequisites that allow the district to present the project to voters and continue design and outreach work this summer and fall.
All votes on the SEQR resolution, the special-vote proposition and the Northside capital outlay resolution passed by unanimous voice votes recorded on the agenda.
