Flower Hill trustees authorize garbage RFP, adopt new logo and approve two ARC applications
Summary
Trustees voted to begin an RFP for the village garbage contract that expires May 31, 2026, adopted a green color logo plus a black-and-white variant, and approved two ARC site applications; claims on bids and procurement procedures were discussed.
At the Dec. 8 meeting the Village of Flower Hill Board of Trustees authorized staff to begin a request-for-proposals (RFP) process for the village garbage contract, which the mayor said expires on 2026-05-31. Trustees discussed scope options (collection frequency, rear-yard pickup, recycling requirements) and the award process; attorney Blinckoff said he would circulate proposed specifications for the bid package. The board approved initiating the RFP paperwork by voice vote.
The trustees also reviewed proposed meeting dates for 2026 (informational) and took a vote to adopt a new village logo. The board favored color option #4 (green) and a black-and-white treatment (#5) for letterhead and materials; the motion to adopt both treatments passed by voice vote.
On land-use matters the Architectural Review Committee reported on several applications. The board approved two sites (referenced in the packet as 132 Renny and 67 Fernwood) subject to screening and conditions and noted one denial of a sports-court application that will return to the DZA. Several trustees indicated a recusal for one application (trustee Lugowski was noted as recusing). The ARC and attorney will prepare decisions for the DZA as required.
The board also voted to enter executive session to discuss a contractual payment; the matter will be discussed in private and the board said it would return to act on the audited vouchers after the session. The public portion of the transcript records the motions and voice votes but does not include roll-call tallies.
