Beekmantown board approves appointments, surplus equipment and minutes; tables fire-detection bids and shared-services agreement
Summary
At its April 6 work session, the Beekmantown board unanimously approved multiple personnel resolutions, declared highway equipment surplus and approved the March 16 minutes; it tabled bids for a fire-detection system and a new shared-services agreement until April 20, 2026.
The Town of Beekmantown board at a work session on April 6, 2026, approved several resolutions addressing appointments and town equipment and approved meeting minutes, while delaying two procurement/contract items for further consideration.
Board member Mr. Deyo moved Resolution 83-26 to add Patricia LaFlam to the Board of Assessment Review; Mrs. Turner seconded the motion and the resolution passed on a 5-0 roll-call vote. The board removed John Gocke from the Zoning Board under Resolution 84-26 (moved by Mrs. Turner; seconded by Mr. Menard), and it renewed Sue Arno-Barrett’s term on the Board of Assessment Review under Resolution 85-26 (moved by Mr. Deyo; seconded by Mrs. Turner). All three personnel resolutions passed unanimously, 5-0.
The board declared multiple items surplus under Resolution 87-26, listing a 2009 International truck tractor, 11R22.5 wheels (as transcribed), a bedding chopper, a 2006 International dump truck with front plow, a 1985 Eager Beaver trailer, and an 8'6" Fisher V-plow. That resolution passed on a 5-0 roll-call vote.
Two items were postponed for further review: Resolution 86-26, which concerned reviewing bids for a fire-detection system at the Highway Department, was tabled until the board’s April 20, 2026 meeting; Resolution 88-26, to approve a new Shared Services Agreement provided by NYMIR in place of an earlier draft, was also tabled to the April 20 meeting.
Resolution 89-26 to approve the March 16, 2026 monthly meeting minutes was moved by Mr. Sand, seconded by Mr. Menard, and adopted by voice vote.
The board’s votes recorded a consistent 5-0 outcome on the passed resolutions. The tabling of the fire-detection bids and the NYMIR shared-services agreement leaves procurement and contractual decisions open for the April 20 meeting.
The board moved into executive session at 7:16 p.m. and returned with no action taken; the meeting adjourned at 8:14 p.m.
