Town of Union board adopts stormwater agreement, engineering services, and updates drug-testing policy
Summary
The Town Board unanimously approved acceptance of a stormwater maintenance agreement for Hooper Road Apartments, authorized Griffiths Engineering for test‑fit/site feasibility at 1 Seward Ave for $8,700, and amended the Town Drug & Alcohol Testing Policy to exempt lawful medical cannabis THC positives for non‑federally regulated employees who are not impaired.
At its June 3 meeting the Town of Union Board approved several resolutions and administrative items.
The board adopted a resolution to accept the Hooper Road Apartments stormwater maintenance agreement and the access easement plan and surveyor’s description for the stormwater system at 609 Hooper Road. The apartments are owned by CDS Housing, LLC. The motion was introduced by Councilman Frank J. Bertoni, seconded by Councilman Thomas R. Augostini, and the board voted unanimously to adopt the resolution.
The board also authorized Griffiths Engineering to provide test‑fit and site feasibility services at 1 Seward Avenue N. for a lump sum fee of $8,700 and authorized Supervisor Robert Mack to sign the necessary documents. That resolution passed unanimously.
On personnel policy the Town Board approved amendments to the Town Drug & Alcohol Testing Policy to clarify treatment of lawful medical cannabis use. The amendment states that a verified positive THC test attributable solely to lawful medical cannabis use shall not, by itself, constitute a policy violation for non‑federally regulated employees, provided the employee is not impaired while performing job duties or during working hours. The board adopted that amendment retroactive to May 1, 2026.
The board also moved to receive and file department reports and approved a slate of communications for action, including approving use of park shelters for community events and referring requests for barricades and additional millings to the Commissioner of Public Works. Motions on routine communications were generally moved by Councilman Thomas R. Augostini and seconded by Councilman Frank J. Bertoni.
The board approved the May 20, 2026 meeting minutes earlier in the evening and adjourned at 8:07 PM.
