Summary
At its Sept. 3 meeting, the Sleepy Hollow village board adopted ordinance 92024-09 adding a 3-inch water meter charge, approved $107,515.76 in accounts payable and renewed the county animal-control contract; minutes from 08/19/2024 were also approved.
The Sleepy Hollow village board on Sept. 3 adopted ordinance 92024-09 to add a 3-inch water meter charge to village code, approved a list of accounts payable totaling $107,515.76 and renewed the village's animal-control contract with King County.
The ordinance, introduced during the attorney's report by Mr. Shuster, amends section 6-3-11 of the village code to add a commercial 3-inch meter charge intended for larger commercial users who require that size of connection. The board moved and seconded the ordinance and approved it by roll call; five trustees voted aye with no reported opposition.
The board also approved accounts payable for Sept. 3, 2024 in the amount of $107,515.76 following a motion from the director of finance, Van, and a second. The director said auditors completed recent field work and a finance-committee meeting to review a sales-tax matter was scheduled the next day.
Under old business trustees approved a two-year renewal, with a one-year extension, of the village's animal-control agreement with King County. The chair emphasized that residents should contact the village first on animal-control issues and that the agreement includes a new section addressing mutual-respect standards and procedures for municipal staff to file complaints with the animal-control authority.
