Board adopts ethics code clarification, downtown software contract and routine permits; sets event dates
Summary
At the January 26 meeting trustees adopted a code amendment clarifying who must file annual disclosures, approved a ClearGov budget platform contract, adjusted sidewalk‑café fees, set Harbor Island Park carnival dates and approved several licenses and routine budget transfers; most measures passed unanimously or by consensus.
The Board of Trustees took up a bundle of legislative items at the January 26 meeting, adopting an ethics code amendment, several administrative resolutions and routine approvals.
Ethics code: The board opened and closed a public hearing and adopted PLLB of 2026, a local law amending the definition of covered persons required to submit annual disclosure statements to the Board of Ethics. Dan (attendee identified on the record) and staff said the change codifies an existing practice so that not every village employee must file a disclosure.
Administrative and budget items: Trustees authorized the village manager to form an interdepartmental “quality of life” team that would coordinate code, police and park responses to complaints; they approved a contract for ClearGov, a budget‑presentation platform intended to improve public access to budget data; and they approved a modest increase to sidewalk‑café fees.
Events, licenses and donations: The board set the 2026 Fireman’s Carnival and related park closures (including the fireworks rain date) and accepted a bench donation for Valerie Guglielmo at Harbor Island Park. Trustees renewed temporary motel licenses for two local motels with conditions requiring reporting of first‑responder incidents and some traffic‑safety measures. The board also approved budget transfers, including a purchase of road salt and a site survey for the Harbor Island deck project.
Audited vouchers and oversight: Trustees reviewed an auditor’s note about three vouchers under further review and adopted the abstract with a request to include bid details for larger expenditures on future abstracts. The board added and approved a resolution directing the village manager (or designee) to be exclusively responsible for solicitation, administration and management of flood‑mitigation grants and to provide monthly public progress reports to the board.
Most motions on the consent and legislative agenda carried with affirmative votes; where recorded, trustees voted aye during roll call.
