Board approves broad consent package including legal retentions and multiple bond issues
Summary
At its March 25 meeting the Town Board approved a consent calendar of resolutions: retention of outside counsel for multiple matters, a tax‑refund settlement, municipal agreements, and a series of bond authorizations and contract awards (amounts listed). Most motions passed by recorded “Aye” votes.
After public hearings and comment the Town Board moved through a lengthy consent calendar and approved multiple resolutions and contract awards.
Key approvals included:
- Continued retention of Thomas Trati to represent town police officers (aggregate cap $150,000). - Continued retention of the law firm Morris Duffy‑Lonso, Faley and Pitcuff in town litigation (additional $125,000; $125,000 total for the matter noted). - A tax‑refund settlement with GEJ Tarrytown LLC for property at 120 White Plains Road with refunds totaling $936,852. - Authorization for the town supervisor to enter into a municipal agreement with the Hartsdale public parking district reimbursing personnel costs not to exceed $118,390. - Multiple bond authorizations for capital projects and purchases: $1,000,000 for East/West Tartsdale avenue improvements; $1,200,000 for sanitation trucks; $1,278,600 for miscellaneous facilities; $3,500,000 for curb replacements; $4,960,000 for building and facility improvements; $5,500,000 for town road reconstructions; $8,700,000 for drainage improvements; and other smaller bond items listed on the agenda. - Award of summer‑camp bus transportation services not to exceed $477,453 and awards for police medical supplies to the lowest responsible bidders.
Most measures were adopted by unanimous 'Aye' voice votes as the board moved through the agenda. Several items were briefly questioned for clarification; one bond line item was pulled for discussion and then the board returned to the consent calendar. No item on the consent calendar was tabled at the meeting.
Board members and staff said the bond authorizations and contract awards fund routine capital and maintenance needs across highways, public safety and facilities.
