Votes at a glance: Knoxbox law, sewer-law enabling language, personnel appointment and routine resolutions
Summary
At its May 19 meeting Yorktown’s Town Board approved a Knoxbox local law, advanced enabling changes for sewer billing reform (with one opposed vote), appointed a conditional police officer and approved several routine resolutions including a grant extension for pump-station rehabilitation.
The Yorktown Town Board recorded several formal actions and votes during its May 19 meeting. Key outcomes included:
Knoxbox local law (building/fire prevention code amendment) The board held a public hearing and then approved amendments to chapter 130 to standardize Knoxbox location and the fire-service key. The fire advisory board and members agreed the key type should be designated by the fire district chief or fire marshal. Board vote: motion seconded and approved by voice vote.
Sewer/septic code enabling language (chapter 240) The board closed the public hearing on proposed amendments to Chapter 240 and voted to accept enabling changes that will allow the town to move O&M recovery toward a consumption-based sewer rent. The motion passed with one member recorded as opposed; the board directed staff to produce parcel-level impact analyses and draft rate options before final rate-setting.
Personnel appointment The board approved the appointment of Anthony Mosca as a conditional police officer effective June 24, 2026 (appointment contingent on medical and psychological testing and subject to a probationary period). Motion moved, seconded and approved.
Grant and capital-related resolutions The board authorized the supervisor to sign an amended agreement with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for a pump station rehabilitation grant (an extension on a $5.8 million award discussed during the meeting), approved change orders for library siding and pool-deck work, and approved several administrative and refund motions.
Other permits The board approved a stormwater management and erosion-sediment-control permit for a Perry Street property with added conditions.
What the board required next For the sewer law changes, the board explicitly required staff to return with more granular data before setting final rates. For the zoning text amendment for indoor amusement at Jefferson Valley Mall, the board asked staff to draft precise language and schedule a public hearing when ready.
Votes and formal actions are recorded in the town minutes; the board’s next steps will require staff reports for follow-up votes.
