Valley Stream board approves emergency pool wall repair, awards work to United Haven Corporation
Summary
Trustees moved and seconded Resolution 145 to hire United Haven Corporation for emergency repairs to a collapsing pool wall; board members noted expected FEMA reimbursement (about 75%) and some uncertainty about state aid.
Trustees in the Village of Valley Stream moved to address an urgent structural failure at a municipal pool and introduced Resolution 145 to award the repair contract to United Haven, Corporation. Speaker 1 described the wall as "collapsing" and said the village would need an immediate payment arrangement to proceed. Speaker 2 seconded the motion, and when polled Trustee Thomas, Trustee Grama and Trustee Wozer responded "Yes."
The board discussed likely disaster reimbursement. Speaker 1 said the village expects federal FEMA assistance, referencing an estimated FEMA amount of "130,000." Speaker 3 and others noted the typical reimbursement structure is about 75% federal with roughly 12–12.5% from the state, but cautioned that state participation is not guaranteed; Speaker 3 said "sometimes state doesn't follow through." The board indicated it will proceed with contracting work under Resolution 145 while pursuing available state and federal reimbursements. The item was presented as an emergency repair; specific contract value and procurement details were not specified in the transcript.
