Votes at a glance: Greenburgh board approves multiple routine resolutions, retentions and awards
Summary
The board approved a package of resolutions including law‑firm retentions for pending litigation, tax‑certiorari settlements, budget transfers and procurement awards for 2026; most measures passed by voice vote.
During Wednesday's session the Greenburgh Town Board moved through a multi‑item consent package and several standalone resolutions. Highlights include:
- Legal retentions and settlements: The board authorized outside counsel for several personnel and civil matters and approved a retention for representation in a wrongful‑death/administration matter (amounts read into the record; one retention capped at $25,050 and another matter listed not to exceed $125,000 total for multiple officer representations). The board also approved several property‑damage settlements (examples: $7,150) and tax‑certiorari refunds (various amounts read into the record).
- Budget and procurement: The board approved fiscal‑year 2025/2026 budget transfers and amendments (including funds to cover stenographers and to reclassify funds for snow‑removal vehicles). It awarded procurement contracts including paper goods and kitchen supplies (not to exceed $40,618.85) and professional services for a highway and sanitation garage remediation project (amounts called out).
- Personnel and promotions: A promotion of Police Officer Joseph Kelly to detective was approved by voice vote.
Most items passed on voice votes after short staff explanations and procedural comments; a few items prompted clarifying questions about which version of a contract was on the agenda and vote revotes were requested to record amendments. Town counsel noted the need to include required notification and amendment provisions on certain agreements.
