Plattekill board adopts audit resolution, updates towing list and raises ticket revenue bookkeeping questions
Summary
The board moved to adopt Resolution No. 29 of 2026 acknowledging examination of town justice court dockets for 2025, discussed ticket revenue accounting, and added Modino Automotive to the town's towing list after verifying registrations; vote tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
The Town of Plattekill board moved to adopt Resolution No. 29 of 2026 acknowledging that town auditing board members examined and reviewed the town justice court dockets and records from 2025.
A board member introduced the resolution and asked for a second; the motion proceeded into brief discussion focused on how fines and ticket revenue are recorded. A member asked whether unprotested tickets should be recorded directly to the general fund; staff and the police indicated that the court process currently results in bookkeeping entries handled by police records and the court.
The board also voted to add Modino Automotive to the town's towing list after staff verified registrations and plates. The motion to add the tow vendor was supported by staff inspection results.
Board members said monthly reports are available in the meeting packet for review. No detailed vote tallies for the resolution or the towing-list addition were included in the transcript.
Why it matters: The audit resolution is a routine statutory acknowledgment that town justice court records were reviewed; adding a tow vendor updates town contracting options and affects emergency vehicle towing options for residents.
Next steps: The board placed these items on the record; any bookkeeping or budget-line clarifications will be handled by staff and police accounting.
