Flower Hill trustees approve fence variance, fee schedule, fire contract and other business
Summary
At their Feb. 3 meeting trustees approved a decorative front‑yard fence application, updated the fee schedule, approved claims totaling $164,743.08 and adopted the Fort Washington fire department contract (increase described as under 5%); other routine planning items were also approved and the board set a March 3 meeting date.
Trustees of the Village of Flower Hill conducted routine municipal business following an extended public information session on Saint Francis Hospital’s modernization plans and moved through several motions that evening.
The board approved a front‑yard decorative fence/gate application after staff and the applicant revised picket spacing and design to meet village decorative‑fence criteria. The motion carried on a roll call of trustees in the meeting room; trustees recorded unanimous 'Aye' votes for that item.
Trustees also approved claims totaling $164,743.08 after the treasurer and village administrator certified them. The board passed a resolution appointing election inspectors for the March 18 village election and adopted a streamlined fee schedule intended to align commercial fees with neighboring communities while keeping basic residential fees unchanged.
On public safety budgeting, trustees approved the Fort Washington fire department contract, which members described as a modest increase (discussed as under 5% in the meeting), and thanked the department for its emergency and ambulance cost‑recovery efforts. Several planning and AOC items (listed in the AOC report) were approved with one trustee recorded as abstaining on an item.
Mayor Rosenbaum closed the meeting by asking residents to sign up for village communications and promising to keep the public updated on any developments. He also reminded the public that the next Board of Trustees meeting is scheduled for March 3 at 7 p.m.
The board’s actions at this meeting were procedural and did not include any formal approvals related to Saint Francis Hospital’s modernization plan; hospital presenters gave only an informational briefing and no building application was presented to the board for consideration.
