Trustees approve contract, remove timed parking and clear multiple routine items in voice votes
Summary
At its meeting, the Mineola Board of Trustees approved a set of routine actions — including a $85,500 kitchen renovation contract for Fire Company 3; removal of timed parking on parts of Plymouth and Hampton streets; taxi licensing; and personnel postings — all carried by voice vote; individual tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
The Mineola Board of Trustees approved a package of routine motions and resolutions by voice vote at its public meeting.
Key actions the board approved included:
- Awarding a contract to Milcon Construction Corp. for $85,500 to renovate the kitchen at Mineola Fire Department Company 3. The clerk read the resolution; the motion was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote.
- Approving a license for 5 Star Corp. to operate two taxi cabs in the village for a fee of $150 per vehicle; the motion was moved by Trustee Soloski and seconded by Deputy Mayor Sartorius and carried by voice vote.
- Removing posted timed parking on Plymouth Avenue between Roslyn Road and Hampton Street and on Hampton Street between Colonial Avenue and Liberty Avenue in response to a resident petition; the board had approved that change during the work session and carried it into the public meeting.
- Approving employee health benefit buyback requests for Rafael Bergovich and Charles Klein under the collective bargaining agreement.
- Authorizing posting of a labor position in the highway division and a mechanic position in the central garage division of Public Works to replace retirements.
- Authorizing a handicap-reserved parking space at 204 Andrews Road at the request of a resident.
The transcript records motions being made and seconded and repeated “Aye” responses; the meeting record in the transcript does not show individual vote tallies or roll-call results for these items — the outcomes were announced as motions carried. The mayor and trustees noted that some changes (such as the removal of timed parking) were based on resident petitions and that staff would implement changes (for example, removing physical posted signs and coordinating with DPW). The board indicated they would monitor the effects of those parking changes and accept petitions or requests to revisit regulations if needed.
The board also reminded residents that even where signs remain physically posted temporarily, enforcement would not begin until DPW has removed the posted signs and the change is formally in force.
