Greenburgh accepts ArtsWestchester grant to support Juneteenth celebration; record shows inconsistent amount
Summary
The town board approved TB 1 to accept a grant to fund the town’s Juneteenth celebration at Greenburgh Town Hall; the resolution text listed $2,800 but the record also includes a reference to $22,800, a discrepancy noted on the record.
The Greenburgh Town Board approved a resolution to accept a grant from ArtsWestchester to support the town’s 7th annual Juneteenth celebration at Greenburgh Town Hall.
The clerk read TB 1 as a resolution accepting a $2,800 grant from Arts Westchester to be used for the Juneteenth celebration scheduled for Friday, June 12. The chair moved the resolution and it was seconded; the board recorded a vocal 'Aye' in favor. Later in the same exchange a speaker referenced "the $22,800 grant," creating an inconsistency in the amount shown on the public record.
The resolution as read identified Arts Westchester (recorded in the transcript as "Arts Westchester" / "Greenberg Arts and Culture") as the funding source and specified use for the town’s Juneteenth event. The meeting record does not resolve the discrepancy between the two amounts stated on the record; the transcript does not contain further detail or a corrected entry clarifying the intended grant total.
Officials noted the meeting had been duly noticed and proceeded with the vote; the transcript records the motion, a second and a vocal affirmation of approval but does not include a roll-call tally listing each member by name.
The town may need to correct or clarify the grant amount in subsequent minutes or documentation to ensure the appropriation is recorded accurately.
