Irondequoit board adopts 19 resolutions including $2.5M in equipment bonds and $500K for sidewalks
Summary
At its Oct. 21 meeting the board approved 19 resolutions by voice vote, including authorization to issue up to $2.5 million in bonds for equipment replacement, up to $500,000 for sidewalks, $150,000 for road reconstruction, cemetery roof repairs ($90,000), and routine personnel and contract approvals; public hearings were called for the preliminary budget and sewer district work.
The Town Board adopted 19 resolutions at the Oct. 21 meeting, taking routine administrative and capital steps the board said align with the capital improvement program approved that evening.
Key actions adopted by voice vote included:
- Permanent appointment of an office clerk (item 1). - Intermunicipal agreement allowing the fire district to house a marine rescue unit in town facilities (item 2). - Calling a public hearing on the 2026 preliminary budget for Nov. 6 (item 3). - Authorizing up to $90,000 from fund balance to replace cemetery office and mausoleum roofs (item 4). - Authorizing up to $20,000 from fund balance to replace a cemetery riding mower (item 5). - Authorizing professional services with LaBella Associates DPC for Town Hall restroom renovation and hazardous‑materials design services (item 6). - Adopting the capital improvement program (amended to cover 2026–2031) and related authorizations (item 7). - Authorizing issuance of serial bonds up to $2.5 million to finance replacement of equipment and vehicles outlined in the CIP (item 8). - Authorizing issuance of serial bonds up to $150,000 for reconstruction and paving on Cold Brook Drive (item 9). - Authorizing issuance of serial bonds up to $500,000 for sidewalk construction and reconstruction townwide (item 10). - Calling a public hearing under Town Law §202‑B for improvements in the consolidated sewer district (item 11). - Ratifying a tentative CSEA supervisory‑unit agreement described in the meeting as containing a "2 and a .5% wage increase each year for four years" and related benefits changes; the transcript states six employees in that unit (item 12). - Declaring one patrol vehicle surplus due to high repair costs (item 13) and other surplus equipment for auction (item 18). - Authorizing reimbursement to the Village of Warsaw for hiring a lateral police officer (item 14; transcript cost figure unclear and not specified in this report). - Authorizing a contract for generator maintenance services across town facilities (item 15). - Approving lighting conversion to LED (item 16) and a revised cemetery fee schedule (item 17). - Approving a special event license for an upcoming 5K run (item 19).
All resolutions were adopted by voice vote; the transcript records motions, seconds and the verbal "Aye" responses but does not include a roll‑call tally for each resolution.
Why it matters: The bond authorizations and CIP identify capital work and equipment replacement plans that will shape town infrastructure and operations over the next several years. Several items also establish procurement or contract pathways that enable design and construction to proceed.
What’s next: Projects and bond issuances will return to the board as needed for further authorizations and implementation steps; the sewer district improvements require a public hearing as part of the bonding process.
