The Brighton Town Board approved several financial measures on June 10 to cover claims, debt service and capital projects.
Clara presented claims totaling $682,354.61, including about $160,000 applied to debt service on bond series issued in 2015, 2016 and 2025; the board voted to approve the claims.
The board authorized a budget amendment transferring $103,985 from the debt service reserve to cover 2026 debt service obligations. The board also approved a $38,000 transfer from police insurance recoveries to the automobiles account to purchase a replacement vehicle after a total-loss collision.
Separately the board approved a $50,000 transfer from police forfeiture funds to renovate office space into a police breakroom as part of a department's health-and-wellness initiative.
The board authorized use of $130,000 from a special revenue amenity fund as the 20% town match for a New York Plays grant application to build a playground as part of the town-hall recreation amenities; the grant application deadline was imminent.
Finally, the board approved a change order with INX (also referenced as NX) Architecture for contract administration and engineering services not to exceed $15,600 (clarified from a $15,000 agenda typo). Each item was adopted by roll call.
