Town adopts routine resolutions, approves highway equipment lease and continues public hearing on zoning law
Summary
The Philipstown Town Board approved sponsorship of Garrison Volunteer Ambulance LOAP benefits, approved Devon's Farm sweet potato dig, authorized purchase/lease of a Freightliner plow truck (approx. $303,000), and voted to continue a public hearing on a proposed local zoning law while referring it back to the planning board.
The Philipstown Town Board approved several routine items and procurement actions at its meeting.
Resolutions passed included sponsorship of the Garrison Volunteer Ambulance Corps length‑of‑service award program, support for Devon's Farm 2026 sweet potato dig on a town plot along Route 9D, and authorization to purchase and finance a Freightliner 108 SD with plow body and equipment (approximately $303,000), a transaction described as part of the adopted 2026 budget and planned lease line.
Earlier in the meeting the board opened a public hearing on a proposed local zoning law, reviewed planning board comments and unanimously voted to continue the public hearing to the next meeting and refer the proposal back to the planning board for a formal vote and clearer language.
Roll call votes were recorded for committee appointments later in the meeting; routine voucher approvals and meeting adjournment followed.
