Granville trustees ratify administrative policies, appoint official newspaper and depositories
Summary
The Granville Village Board unanimously ratified procedural rules, procurement and investment policies, reappointed Arrow Bank and NYCLASS as depositories, set the 2025–26 meeting schedule, and approved a resolution allowing routine advance payment of certain claims; the Sentinel-Times was named official newspaper.
The Village Board of Granville approved a package of administrative housekeeping measures at its April 7 meeting, including rules of procedure, procurement and investment policies, bank depositories, the official newspaper and an administrative resolution authorizing advance payment of routine claims.
Mayor Paul Labas reviewed the Rules of Procedure and said there were no substantive changes from the prior year. Trustee Denise Davies moved to ratify the Rules of Procedure as posted; the motion carried unanimously. The Board also ratified the Procurement Policy and Investment Policy as circulated, noting the Investment Policy follows a template from the Office of the State Comptroller.
Trustees appointed the Sentinel-Times as the Official Newspaper for legal notices and reappointed Arrow Bank (noting the institution’s recent name change from Glens Falls National Bank) and NYCLASS as official depositories for operating and reserve funds. The Board approved the proposed meeting schedule for 2025–26, keeping meetings on the first Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m., with the September meeting moved to the second Monday to avoid Labor Day.
The Board adopted a resolution permitting Clerk’s Office staff to make advance payments for utilities, postage, petty cash, concert series acts, insurance and similar routine claims provided they do not exceed existing line-item amounts; such payments are to be listed as unaudited vouchers at the next meeting for board audit.
These moves were presented as routine annual actions intended to ensure continuity of operations and compliance with state guidance. Members did not debate substantive policy changes during the motions and all votes were unanimous.
