Summary
The Flower Hill Board approved applying for a New York Plays grant to fund an inclusive playground (20% local match), appointed two election inspectors for the March 18 election, and scheduled public hearings on fee and turf code updates for March 2.
The Flower Hill Board of Trustees voted Monday to apply for a New York Plays grant to fund an inclusive, handicap-accessible playground and approved several routine personnel and procedural items.
The board unanimously approved a resolution authorizing staff to submit the grant application, which the mayor said requires a 20% local match. “The only thing about this one is it’s a 20% match, which is fine,” the mayor said. If awarded, the funds would pay for ramps, accessible play equipment, and other upgrades to make the village playground usable for more residents.
In the same session trustees appointed John Parker and Michael Putri as election inspectors for the March 18 election. The appointments were made by resolution and approved by voice vote.
Trustees also moved to schedule two public hearings for the March 2 board meeting: one to consider moving parking- and vehicle-related fines from the village code into an updated fee schedule, and another to review proposed amendments to the artificial turf provisions in the zoning code. The public-hearing motions were seconded and passed.
In other actions the board accepted the abstract of audited vouchers totaling $122,707.06 and approved the minutes from recent meetings. The board then accepted the Architectural Review Committee’s findings from its Jan. 26 meeting so that ARC matters can proceed.
The board concluded its public business and voted to enter executive session to discuss a pending legal matter.
