Meeting roundup: vouchers approved, one contract awarded, several items tabled
Summary
At its Aug. 12 meeting the Woodstock Town Board approved vouchers, awarded a highway-garage contract, but tabled several financing and appointment items; a request to ask NYSDOT for no-parking signs failed.
The Woodstock Town Board handled routine business Aug. 12 while taking up several public requests and presentations. Key outcomes included approval of a voucher batch, approval to contract for a highway-garage truck-wash system, and tabling of several items that trustees said needed more information.
The board authorized payment of vouchers totaling $656,984.88; a trustee asked to pull voucher number 108825 for $91,994 for further review and the board agreed to table that voucher pending additional documentation.
On procurement, the highway superintendent reported three bids to replace the highway garage truck-wash system and the board moved to authorize supervisors to sign a contract with the low bidder, Van Behorn Enterprises Inc., at $71,364.85.
Other formal items: the board considered a resolution to transfer $150,000 from the highway repair reserve to the McDaniel Road capital account but tabled that motion pending clearer engineer estimates; a proposed request to the New York State Department of Transportation asking for no-parking signs on Route 212 (near Big Deep) failed in a board vote; an appointment of George Cross was deferred until trustees interview the candidate in executive session; and the public hearing on fence-code amendments was opened and tabled for further review.
