Summary
At its meeting the council voted to pay multiple bills across funds, declared certain fire equipment surplus, extended a Glass Street contract by 60 days, approved an RFQ for central fire-station architectural services, and approved several permits and schedule changes; all motions carried by voice vote as recorded.
Port Jervis — The Common Council approved multiple routine but consequential municipal actions in a single block of votes: payment of bills across funds, surplusing specific fire equipment, a 60-day extension for a Glass Street project contract, approval to issue an RFQ for architectural services for the central fire station, and several permits and scheduling motions.
Bills and funds: The finance report listed bills including general-fund obligations of $418,971; water fund $76,156; sewer fund $20,467; capital fund $452,245; and trust-and-agency items. The council moved to pay the listed bills and approved the motion by voice vote.
Surplus equipment: The council declared specific fire-department equipment surplus, listing items (for example, a Bauer SCBA compressor, acquisition date 06/03/1998, model UN1120E3, serial 26680, and an OHD QuantiFit fit-test machine) and authorized disposal in accordance with applicable laws.
Construction and RFQ actions: The council approved a 60-day extension to the existing Glass Street contract because of weather and water delays (no additional funds were described on the record). The council also authorized issuing an RFQ for architectural services for the central fire station with a proposed November 15 return date; counsel and the fire chief were to review final edits before issuance.
Permits and schedule changes: The meeting approved a public-assembly permit for a watershed-anniversary event at Elm's Bronx Park and an event permit for Grace Church's 'trunk-or-treat' at Riverside Park on Oct. 25. The council also voted to move the October 13 meeting to Oct. 14 due to the Columbus Day holiday.
Votes and record: All actions in this package were moved, seconded and adopted by voice vote as recorded in the transcript. Where the transcript did not provide named, line-by-line roll-call tallies, the minutes record the motions as 'Aye' and 'Motion carries.'
