Menands board approves pest control contract, surplus of fire trailer and routine items
Summary
The Menands Village Board approved several routine actions — including a five‑treatment pest‑control contract for $2,500, posting of 2025 LOAP results, and surplusing a 1998 safety trailer — and scheduled follow‑ups on speed‑limit and infrastructure studies.
At its regular meeting the Menands Village Board voted on several routine items and moved multiple agenda items forward.
The board approved a five‑treatment pest‑control contract with Upstate Busters for five monthly treatments at $500 each, at a total cost of $2,500, beginning in April. The board also approved posting the 2025 LOAP results for the required 30‑day period and agreed to surplus a 1998 White Bear safety trailer from the fire department and place it on Auction International.
Earlier in the meeting the board took a procedural vote on minutes and warrants and heard the auditor’s presentation on the 2025 audit. The board was informed that a speed study recommends lowering the village speed limit from 30 to 25 mph (the minimum allowed under New York State law); the formal study and recommendation will be considered at a future meeting. The board also heard updates on grant funding and county coordination for Broadway/Route 32 improvements.
Where mover/second names were not recorded on the meeting transcript, the record reflects that motions were made, seconded and approved by voice vote with no recorded opposition in the transcript. The board will post formal minutes that record the full procedural record.
