Trustees flag missing North Elmhurst contract, cite Regeneron safety involvement
Summary
Trustee (Speaker 2) said the packet received by the village contained only the West Elmhurst fire-protection contract and not North Elmhurst; he noted Elmsford fire chiefs have been involved with Regeneron planning and recommended adding the North Elmhurst contract to speed payment and oversight.
Trustee (Speaker 2) told the board he received the contract package in the mail and it contained only the West Elmhurst fire-protection contract, not the North Elmhurst contract that he expected. "It only has 1 contract. It has contracted it for the West Coast Bridgeport, not the North Coast," Speaker 2 said, describing his calls to the town attorney and listening to Scarsdale's public hearing online.
Speaker 2 said Elmsford fire chiefs have participated in Regeneron’s planning, construction and operations phases and attended weekly meetings to set safety and call protocols. "The fire chiefs have been at weekly meetings," he said, adding he recently confirmed those meetings with "Pete." Speaker 2 said he was surprised Scarsdale's approval sequence left one contract off the packet and suggested the village add a resolution to approve the North Elmhurst contract now so funds can be secured sooner.
Speaker 2 read dollar figures from the packet for the North Elmhurst and West Elmhurst contracts, but the transcript contains garbled numerals; he recommended approving the North Elmhurst item in the packet to avoid further delay. The transcript records no formal vote or recorded tally on the suggestion in the provided excerpt.
Staff indicated they would follow up and consider requesting the fire chief attend a Scarsdale public hearing if needed. No final action or recorded vote appears in the supplied transcript.
