Brighton board approves contracts, budget amendments and service agreements in year-end meeting
Summary
At its final 2024 meeting the Brighton Town Board approved multiple motions including claims of $874,900, IT and parks budget amendments, contracts for financial filings and video production, and an extension for cultural resource surveys; the board then entered executive session.
The Brighton Town Board used its final 2024 meeting to approve a series of contracts, budget amendments and routine town items before moving into executive session.
Key votes at the meeting included: the approval of claims totaling $874,900 for sewer work and pavement markings; a budget amendment of $36,500 to the Information Technology equipment account to buy computers and monitors using excess interest earnings; and a parks maintenance equipment amendment of $221,600 to purchase a mower, tiller and sod cutter. The board also authorized the supervisor to enter into an agreement with Municipal Solutions for financial-filing services at a rate not to exceed $235 per filing and approved a two-year cablecast and video production contract with Electronic Field Productions not to exceed $52,000 per year.
Other actions included declaring certain old IT fixed assets as junk for disposal on the recommendation of IT Director Jeremy Lutz and extending a contract with Bureau Architecture PLLC for cultural resource surveys through Dec. 31, 2024, at no additional cost. Several motions were moved, seconded and approved by roll call during the meeting.
The attorney to the town later summarized eight executive-session matters — including five appointment-related items, one potential disciplinary matter, one pending litigation matter (Town of Brighton v. Icon Energy) and one collective-bargaining negotiation under Article 14 of the Civil Service Law — and the board voted to enter executive session and did not expect to return to public session that night.
