Trustees add interim village attorney, approve vouchers, budget transfers and a settlement
Summary
At the work session trustees voted to add and approve an interim village attorney agreement, approved audited vouchers totaling $803,280.66, approved $125,000 in budget transfers and approved a proposed settlement in Goldstein v. Village of Mamaroneck; the settlement figure in the transcript contained inconsistent numbers.
The Village of Mamaroneck Board of Trustees approved several procedural items during its work session, including the appointment of an interim village attorney, acceptance of audited vouchers, budget transfers and a proposed litigation settlement.
Trustees voted to add discussion of an interim village attorney to the agenda and to approve retaining Toman, Tobin, Bernardin & Wozni LLP as interim counsel while the village searches for permanent counsel. The motion to add the item was made from the floor and the board approved the interim appointment by voice vote.
Financial approvals: The board reviewed and approved the abstract of audited vouchers totaling $803,280.66. Trustees also approved budget transfers totaling $125,000 to cover end-of-year needs, including a $36,000 transfer from the New York State Retirement Fund to utility accounts for parks and other line-item reallocations to cover higher utility and contract-service costs.
Settlement vote: Trustees added and then approved a proposed settlement in Goldstein v. Village of Mamaroneck. On the public record the proposed settlement amount was reported as $36,222 with a stipulation that $18,111 be returned to the village; the transcript also contains an inconsistent larger figure for a net payment that was not reconciled during the meeting and therefore the net payment is not specified on the public record.
What happens next: The interim attorney arrangement will cover village legal needs while staff issues a request for proposals and reviews candidates for permanent counsel. Routine financial reporting and the settlement will appear in the village's official records and minutes.
