Tivoli board adopts 2025 budget without tax increase; code-of-ethics resolution approved
Summary
The Village of Tivoli Board of Trustees adopted the 2025 budget and a resolution relating to a municipal code of ethics referencing General Municipal Law §806. Trustees praised the budget for reflecting village priorities and for being adopted without raising taxes.
The Village of Tivoli Board of Trustees adopted its 2025 budget and approved a resolution establishing a municipal code of ethics during its April 16, 2025 meeting.
A board member praised the budget as “a very interesting document” that shows the village’s priorities and noted it was brought in without raising taxes. The board then moved, in a separate resolution, to adopt a code of ethics referencing General Municipal Law §806.
The budget adoption resolution states the meeting was duly convened, that proper notice and quorum requirements were met, and that all procedural steps required by law for adopting the resolution were followed. The ethics resolution recites that, pursuant to the provisions of General Municipal Law §806, rules of ethical conduct for officers and employees are necessary to maintain public confidence and that the code is intended to serve as a guide for official conduct.
The transcript records the resolutions being presented and adopted but does not record a roll-call vote or a mover/second for either item. The meeting record includes the formal resolution text for both matters but does not list a resolution number or a vote tally in the transcript excerpts.
Background and context: trustees discussed the budget in the meeting and emphasized priorities and fiscal restraint. The ethics resolution cites General Municipal Law §806 as the statutory basis for establishing a local code of ethics for village officers and employees.
Next steps: the transcript does not specify implementation dates, ordinance numbers, or scheduled follow-up reporting related to either adoption. Any publication or filing required by law is referenced in the resolution language as completed or complied with but is not detailed in the meeting transcript.
