Flower Hill trustees approve equipment purchase, policies and paving authorization; several items passed by voice vote
Summary
At its July 7 meeting the Flower Hill Board of Trustees approved a series of measures including a LiDAR speed device purchase, workplace-safety and parking policies, authorization to negotiate a paving agreement, and a resolution requiring public hearings before changing contracted security patrol services.
The Flower Hill Board of Trustees on July 7 approved multiple local actions ranging from equipment purchases to municipal policies and a paving authorization.
Most items were passed by voice vote after brief discussion. The board authorized payment of claims totaling $346,847.04; approved a local law clarifying prior written-notice procedures to limit municipal liability; adopted a workplace violence prevention policy recommended after a PESH (Public Employee Safety and Health) audit; and approved a policy requiring applicants to resolve outstanding village violations before obtaining building permits.
The board also approved a purchased speed-measurement device for village patrol cars—a Stalker LIDAR RLR—under a state contract so the village can keep a certified unit in a local patrol car. During the meeting the price was discussed as $2,845 (state-contract price); an inconsistent figure appeared later in the record. The board voted in favor of the purchase.
Trustees approved an overnight parking-permit policy that generally limits temporary permits to one week and to two permits per six-month window, with construction and case-by-case exceptions. The board reapproved a Verizon franchise resolution and authorized its court clerk to attend the annual court-clerks conference for $1,045.
On public works, trustees authorized entering into an agreement with Metro Paving to perform milling and paving work in three defined areas. The staff-presented total estimate was $363,007.07; the mayor said National Grid has agreed to cover roughly half of Area A but a precise breakdown was not provided at the meeting.
Votes at a glance: all items listed above were approved by voice vote; the Architectural Review Committee report was approved with Trustee Lundowski recorded as abstaining.
The board set the next meeting for August 4 at 7 p.m.
