Rhinebeck board approves vouchers, signs Crystal Lake completion certificate; tables tech purchase
Summary
At a Rhinebeck meeting the board approved prepaid vouchers, signed a certificate of substantial completion for Crystal Lake work by contractor Tye and Bohn, and tabled a law-enforcement technology purchase request pending clearer quotes.
The Rhinebeck board handled several procedural items including approving prepaid vouchers, signing a certificate of substantial completion for recent Crystal Lake work and tabling a law-enforcement technology purchase request until more details and comparable quotes are available.
On vouchers, a board member moved to approve prepaid vouchers totaling $7,677.31 for the general fund, $1,750.66 for the water fund and $139.98 for the sewer fund; another board member seconded the motion and the board voted by voice to approve the payments.
The board discussed a purchase request to use leftover radio-grant money to buy additional equipment (docking stations, warranty and a new computer). Multiple quotes were presented but speakers said the quotes did not appear to be for comparable items; the board agreed to postpone that purchase until the next meeting so staff could clarify the specifications and quotes.
The board also received and signed a certificate of substantial completion from contractor Tye and Bohn indicating that specified punch-list items for Crystal Lake work had been completed; the board voted to sign the certificate by motion and voice vote. Board members and staff reported that pathways had been recompacted and inspected.
