Aurora board approves bridge payments, contracts, site-plan referrals and routine purchases
Summary
The board approved payments to Oak Grove Construction for two bridge projects, several contract and purchase authorizations (Liftoff licensing, Williamson Law Books), a $10,000 budget amendment to fund special counsel, site-plan referrals for 1045 Davis Road and a 7‑Eleven on Knox Road, and travel authorizations for staff.
During its Oct. 27 meeting, the Aurora Town Board approved a series of routine financial and administrative items that were presented as unfinished and new business.
The board authorized payment number two and payment number three to Oak Grove Construction for work on the Church Street Bridge and the East Filmore bridge replacement; the payments were read on the record and charged to fund line H7 5120.230. The motions were moved and seconded and the board carried the approvals without extended discussion.
On contracts and purchases, the board authorized the supervisor to sign a licensing agreement with Liftoff for $2,736 (line A1680.41/401) and approved an order with Williamson Law Books Company for $1,072 (line A680.41). The board also approved a $10,000 budget transfer decreasing line A11990 (contingent account) and increasing line A1420.416 (special counsel) to cover legal costs.
Planning referrals and staff travel were also approved: the board voted to send the site-plan applications for 1045 Davis Road and for a 7‑Eleven on Knox Road to the planning board for review, and authorized town assessor Steven Pigeon to attend a mandatory ethics class on Nov. 7 for $140 (line A1355.44/404). The board additionally authorized code enforcement officer Cassidy to attend a DEC workshop in Ithaca on Nov. 12 and approved estimated mileage for that trip.
Most routine items passed on voice votes recorded as "motion carried"; where roll-call tallies were not provided in the transcript, the record notes only the mover and seconder and any brief commentary from board members.
