Valley Stream trustees approve routine resolutions, set public hearing on proposed loitering law
Summary
The Village of Valley Stream Board of Trustees unanimously approved a slate of routine resolutions — including equipment purchases for the fire department and public works, an intermunicipal cooperation agreement, and an amendment to the parking code — and set a public hearing on a proposed amendment to Chapter 59 addressing loitering. Roll calls recorded trustees voting in favor of each listed resolution; no public comments were recorded.
The Village of Valley Stream Board of Trustees approved a series of routine resolutions during a meeting that opened with ceremonial recognitions and concluded without public comment.
The clerk read Resolution 206-25, a proposed local law to amend Chapter 59 of the Village Code (peace and good order) to prevent loitering in public spaces that interferes with their use. The board scheduled a public hearing on the proposal for Dec. 15 (the record lists the date as 12/15/2020). The resolution was moved and carried on a roll call vote.
Other measures approved included authorizations to purchase a fleet addition for the Valley Stream Fire Department (Resolution 208-25), purchase snow removal equipment for the Department of Public Works (Resolution 209-25), and an increase in the Papillon contract cost for fiber-optic work at village locations (Resolution 210-25). The trustees also approved an intermunicipal cooperation agreement with Nassau County (Resolution 211-25) and a code amendment to Chapter 93 addressing vehicles, traffic and municipal parking (Resolution 212-25). The board authorized payment of forwarded vouchers (Resolution 213-25) and approved minutes as read (Resolution 204-25).
Each item was put to a voice or roll-call vote as read by the clerk; the roll calls recorded trustees voting in the affirmative on the listed resolutions. The meeting record shows individual roll-call responses read into the record; the transcript contains several inconsistent spellings of trustee names across segments, so the official minutes should be consulted for an authoritative attendance and vote tally.
The board also read a resolution (207-25) stating the intent to reimburse certain expenditures from proceeds of tax-exempt bonds; that resolution was moved and approved by roll call.
There were no substantive public comments during the meeting. The clerk noted upcoming meetings through March 30 before the trustees moved to adjourn.
