At its Feb. 12 meeting the Town of Greenberg board approved a broad consent agenda of resolutions covering traffic changes, contracts, legal retentions and tax settlements, and held over a Parks & Recreation concession item for further review.
Key approvals included:
- Traffic safety resolutions (PO1–PO6): The board adopted police department recommendations to lower posted maximum speed limits to 25 mph on numerous residential streets in the Longview and Southern Greenville neighborhoods and to amend parking and stopping rules near Greenville Elementary and other small streets. Council members moved and seconded the resolutions and the board voted 'Aye' on each item.

It also authorized construction inspection services for a Fairview Park Drive bridge repair (not to exceed $150,000) and extended a consultant contract for public works assistance.
- Legal retentions and settlements: The board approved continued retention of outside counsel to represent the town and police department officers in ongoing litigation (amounts noted in the record) and approved multiple tax‑certiorari settlements with refund totals recorded on the meeting transcript.
- Personnel and administrative actions: The board ratified a supplemental memorandum of agreement with civil‑service employees, approved travel for the town clerk to attend a statewide association meeting and confirmed several board and commission reappointments.
Items held over or delayed: The board agreed to hold over CO2 (a Parks & Recreation concession/electricity‑cost item) for additional review after public concerns about the vendor contract and an electricity usage estimate.
