Farmingdale trustees direct protocols after controversy over new fire apparatus floor
Summary
Board discussed a completed epoxy apparatus floor for the Fire Department and directed staff to establish protocols and procedures after controversy; a separate Homeland Security grant request for the department was not selected.
The Board of Trustees discussed a recently completed epoxy apparatus floor at the Farmingdale Fire Department and directed staff to establish protocols and procedures after what the minutes describe as a controversy over the installation.
Trustee Walter Priestley raised the matter and the board agreed that formal protocols and procedures should be adopted to guide similar work going forward. The minutes do not record further detail about the nature of the controversy, any costs associated with the floor, or public comment; the board also noted that a grant request to New York State Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Services for the Fire Department was not selected.
The minutes show the board directed staff to draft and establish the protocols; next steps will depend on the Village Attorney’s review and any follow‑up from Fire Department leadership.
