Town board approves routine contracts, payments and appointments; Humane Society agreement, airport invoice among items passed
Summary
The Wawarsing Town Board approved an agreement with the Humane Society, multiple invoices including a $435,256.11 FAA-related taxiway payment, and reappointments and hires including Dan McClellan and Patrick Rudinski; most items were passed by voice vote as part of the consent agenda.
At its meeting the Town Board of Wawarsing approved several routine motions and contracts grouped under the consent agenda and individual agenda items.
The board authorized the supervisor to execute an agreement with the Humane Society to accept dogs brought by the town’s dog control officer, Jill Shellfelt, space permitting; the contract term listed in the record runs from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2026. The board also approved invoices for public-works and engineering work, including $8,001.54 to Griffin Pedersen for Barbara Road engineering services and a $435,256.11 payment to Calorusso and Sun Inc. for North Haven taxiway rehabilitation and connector reconfiguration (an FAA project). Several other payments and an emergency well-house repair invoice were approved by voice votes recorded in the meeting.
Personnel and appointment actions included the board’s approval to reappoint Dan McClellan to the board of assessment review (term to expire 09/30/2030), the appointment of Patrick Rudinski as a full-time code enforcement officer effective 01/01/2026 (hourly/annualized rate stated in the record), and the reappointment of Angela Villaluca to the joint historic preservation commission (term ending 12/31/2028). Motions for these items were moved, seconded and carried by voice vote; the transcript records board consensus and “Aye” responses but does not list individual roll-call tallies.
Board members also used the meeting to recognize long-serving community volunteers and employees; a tribute and plaque were presented to Michael Moschetta for decades of local service. The meeting concluded with the departing supervisor’s farewell remarks and a voice vote to adjourn.
