The Village of Weston Board of Trustees handled a broad slate of municipal business at its March meeting, approving ordinances and resolutions, awarding major construction contracts and directing staff on procurement and policy matters.
Key actions included:
- Ordinance adoptions: The board adopted Ordinance 25‑003 (fire prevention code amendment) and Ordinance 25‑004 (health and sanitation amendments). Ordinance 25‑003 drew extended debate and passed 6–1. Ordinance 25‑005 rezoned Perhaska Park to parks and recreation and was approved by voice vote.
- Contracts and bids: Trustees awarded the Schofield Avenue, Normandy Street to Birch Street reconstruction contract to Haz Sons Inc. for $6,248,725.25 after presentation of bid results. The board also approved a 2025 salvage/crushing contract as presented.
- Assessments and plats: The board approved preliminary special‑assessment resolutions for Schofield Avenue (2025‑003) and Fuller Street (2025‑004), and approved the final plat for RePlat Green Tree Acres (Resolution 2025‑005). Trustees also authorized the Westin Avenue West Phase assessment resolution (2025‑006).
- Economic development: The board approved a partial (75%) TIF reimbursement for the Schofield Avenue project (2302 Schofield Ave), holding the final 25% pending architect certification and assessor verification.
- Licenses and local policy: Trustees conducted the public drawing for a nonreserved Class B liquor license and directed staff to draft a local‑preference purchasing policy encouraging purchases from Weston businesses.
- Solid waste: After a closed‑session discussion, the board directed staff to put the residential waste and recycling collection contract out for bid and preserve municipal collection and bulk drop‑off services; trustees added a contract‑term/renewal option amendment to the RFP language.
The board set April meeting dates to accommodate statutory reorganization and regular business and asked staff to return with follow‑up reports on several items, including the Mountain Bay Metro lot‑line layout, employee survey vendor pricing and implementation guidance for the fire‑code amendment.
