Rome board approves 11 routine resolutions including intermunicipal agreements and contract extensions

The City of Rome Board of Investment Contracts met April 28, 2025, and approved 11 resolutions covering budget transfers, a public works procurement, contract changes and intermunicipal agreements. The board conducted a roll call, found four members present and carried each resolution by voice vote.

The meeting opened with Mr. Schiller calling the roll; Mayor Lanigan, Board member John Nash, Board member Gerard Feeney and Board member Bridal Adams were recorded present. Board member Joe Giuliano was excused. The board then dispensed with reading the minutes and moved to a series of resolutions that were adopted without substantive discussion.

Among the actions, the board authorized two year-end budgetary transfers, directed the city clerk to seek bids for the 2025 cold milling and resurfacing project (RFP 2025005), approved a change order to the contract with Murnane Building Contractors Incorporated under a prior Board of Estimate contract (resolution number 136 adopted 06/15/2023), and approved the sale of city-owned Parcel 306 Bell Road (buyer not specified in the meeting record). The board also authorized the mayor to enter into two intermunicipal agreements with Oneida County for the municipal recreation program 2025 and for the juvenile aid program 2025, approved an amendment to an intermunicipal agreement with the Oneida County Department of Family and Community Services, and voted to extend agreements with Greater Heights Tree Care.
