Votes at a glance: Rhinebeck Town Board passes routine hires, appointments and rejects a bid
Summary
The board approved routine appointments and procurement items unanimously, including an appointment of Robert DeLuca as building/fire inspector and several administrative items, and rejected an over‑budget heat‑pump bid for Town Hall.
At its March 23 session the board handled multiple routine agenda items by voice vote. Key actions adopted unanimously included the appointment of Robert DeLuca as building/fire inspector and approvals for procurement and personnel items (cardboard‑compactor bid, temporary maintenance sleepers, field terms update, new recreation hires, Earth Day event extension, transfer station petty cash increase, White Schoolhouse Road condition study, capital abstracts and a 30‑day extension to file the Annual Financial Report).
On energy retrofit work the board reported a NYSERDA grant for Town Hall heat‑pump installations but said the single bid received—$272,000—exceeded the grant amount and was rejected. The board voted unanimously to reject the bid and said it will revisit the project and financial details at a future meeting.
All listed motions were moved, seconded and adopted by unanimous voice vote; the board adjourned at the meeting’s close.
