Summary
The board walked on and then approved a resolution to authorize a pilot (PILOT) agreement for Manhattan Beer Distributors as part of a consent agenda; the board also approved minutes (with one abstention) and a civil service report (with one abstention).
At its March 3 regular meeting the Suffern Central School District Board of Education added a late resolution to its agenda and approved multiple action items on a consent vote.
Chair announced the board would walk on a resolution authorizing a PILOT agreement with the Rockland County Industrial Development Agency and Step 2 Realty LLC (Manhattan Beer Distributors, 20 Dunagan Drive) because of external deadlines. The Chair asked for a motion to add the item; members voted to add the item to the agenda by voice.
The meeting proceeded to public participation on action items (none spoke) and then to a consent agenda to approve action items 2.01 and 2.03–2.08, which included the newly walked-on 2.08. The Chair called for the consent motion; members answered "aye" and the consent agenda passed by voice vote as recorded in the minutes.
Specific recorded actions at the meeting included: - Approval of the minutes of the regular meeting dated Feb. 18, 2026. The motion carried; an abstention was recorded by Mister Shapiro. - Approval of action items included in the consent agenda (2.01, 2.03–2.08), which incorporated the PILOT resolution for Manhattan Beer Distributors; consent items were approved by voice vote with no opposition recorded. - Action item 2.02 (civil service report) was moved and approved with one abstention recorded during the vote.
Following the consent votes the board moved to adjourn to executive session to complete remaining items; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The board did not return to public session that evening.
The board directed staff to post the related materials for the walked-on resolution in the agenda and minutes and to make supplemental documentation available to board members prior to any further action or public vote on related fiscal matters.
