The Town of Babylon board approved a sequence of routine resolutions during its Jan. 14 meeting, with roll-call tallies showing four votes in favor and one member absent on the items presented.
Supervisor Schaeffer called the meeting to order and the board accepted the consensus resolution agenda by motion. The clerk performed roll calls as each numbered resolution was moved and seconded; on each recorded vote, Councilman Manette, Councilman Martinez, Councilman Gregory and Supervisor Schaeffer registered yes and Councilman McSweeney was recorded as absent. Resolutions presented in the meeting transcript were cited by number (including items labeled roughly between 71 and 91 as well as consolidated items referenced later in the agenda) and were approved as listed.
The approvals were procedural; the meeting record shows no extended debate or amendments to those resolutions. The board moved from the resolutions portion of the agenda into the open public-comment portion after completing the roll-call votes.
