The Town of Greenberg approved multiple contracts and grants during its May 13 meeting, including Odell House restoration contracts totaling roughly $1.98 million for several trades, a major street and curb contract of $3.36 million, and a stormwater grant of $417,750; all measures passed by voice vote.
The Town of Greenberg board approved a package of contracts, grant acceptances and administrative resolutions at its May 13 meeting. Highlights:
- Odell House restoration: The board awarded the primary building systems and interior finishes general contract to Dynamic GC Corp for an amount not to exceed $1,416,931.14; mechanical work was awarded to EuroComfort Corp (not to exceed $239,000); interior finishes and related work were awarded at $266,100; plumbing work was awarded to VFR Contracting for $60,500. Together, those awards represent the principal construction contracts for the Odell House restoration.
- Major public-works awards: The board approved a reconstruction contract for stone and concrete curbing and installation of underdrains (PW 2) to Tony Cassell for an amount not to exceed $3,365,000; other PW awards included sidewalk and guide-rail work and a fuel-management system purchase for municipal facilities (approx. $197,001.94).
- Grants and special projects: The board accepted a $417,750 Stormwater Advisory Board grant from Westchester County to study flood mitigation on Troublesome Brook and Manhattan Brook; it also accepted a $50,000 grant from the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services for in-car video cameras and server for the police department, and a $40,000 gift from the Landsat Family Foundation for the Police Department Summer Youth Camp.
- Personnel and appointments: The board appointed Garrett Baroche as an entry-level police officer and authorized a trial evaluation with CentralSquare Technologies for software at no cost to the town.
Votes and procedure: Most measures were approved by voice vote with board members saying "Aye"; where specific contract amounts were listed in the published agenda, the board moved and seconded in sequence and recorded the approvals on the public record.
Context and concerns: A resident representing Old Farm Lane urged staff to manage contractor parking and staging for the Odell House work so neighborhood access is preserved; the board’s traffic‑safety officer was asked to review recommended parking restrictions and report back.
