Mamakating Town Board approves consent items including bank switch, mural, hire, summer staffing and rebid date
Summary
In a single set of motions the board approved moving escrow accounts to Jeff Bank, ratified a Wboro Board of Trade mural in Patmore Park, hired a full-time parks maintenance worker, approved summer camp staffing, ratified an Eagle Scout project, approved a settlement for 450 Walker Valley, and set July 11 to rebid tree work.
The Mamakating Town Board handled a series of routine and consent items in the work session and recorded votes approving the following actions:
- Acceptance of Abstract #12 for $77,500 and approval of routine financial reports and prior meeting minutes (motions were made and carried).
- Move building-department escrow accounts from Wayne Bank to Jeff Bank (staff cited policy changes at Wayne Bank that affected escrow handling).
- Ratify an agreement with the Wboro Board of Trade to place temporary murals in Patmore Park at no cost to the town.
- Hire Kristen Hos to a full-time parks maintenance position, pending completion of standard hiring paperwork.
- Approve the 450 Walker Valley Road settlement (the settlement includes a $42,000 fine and conditions requiring planning and building permits before any reuse of the site).
- Approve summer camp staffing (lifeguards, directors and counselors) largely consistent with last year’s pay rates.
- Approve an Eagle Scout project by Owen Messenger to install a replica whirling post and kiosk about the D&H Canal at the Memorial/DNH Canal trailhead.
- Set July 11 to rebid the tree work that previously received no timely bids; staff will repost the solicitation and expand outreach.
The meeting record shows motions and seconders for each item and records the items as approved in the minutes. Specific vote tallies (yes/no counts) were not reported in the transcript; votes are recorded in the meeting minutes as carried.
