The Greenburgh Town Board voted on multiple routine resolutions and moved to leave the public record open on a proposed fire-protection contract with Hastings-on-Hudson.
During the meeting the board opened a public hearing to consider a one-year agreement between the Town of Greenburgh and the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson to provide fire protection to unincorporated residents in the Donald Park Fire Protection District for the 2023 calendar year. Town representatives summarized that Hastings has long provided services to this area and that the proposed reimbursement for the 2023 contract as presented in the hearing materials amounted to $336,941. After public remarks the board moved, seconded and voted to close the hearing while leaving the record open for seven days to receive additional comment.
On the consent and legislative calendar the board approved by voice vote a series of resolutions, including:
• Ratifying the title of the payroll clerk to Group 7 in the current agreement (voice vote).
• Accepting or authorizing a grant from the New York State Homes & Community Renewal program to study, evaluate and develop a capital improvement plan for the Sheldon Brook drainage area (amount not specified in materials presented).
• Authorizing an agreement with West Cupp to provide social services to the town for calendar year 2024 at a cost not to exceed $16,008.37, plus up to $400 reimbursement for documented mileage, subject to controller approval.
• Authorizing multiple street closings and parade permits for community Halloween events (dates and streets detailed in the meeting materials) and several block-party permissions with rain dates as noted.

• Authorizing personnel from the Department of Community Resources to travel to colleges and universities (Connecticut and Massachusetts) Nov. 14–17 at a total cost not to exceed $19,000, with portions to be paid by program participants.
• Approving fiscal-year 2024 budget transfers and a budget amendment for the consolidated sewer fund and capital fund for the East Tarrytown Avenue sewer-main relining project.
All motions were moved and seconded; the board processed these items by voice vote and the supervisor called the roll or took an aye voice where noted. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that carried by voice vote.
