Greenburgh board approves package of resolutions including social media policy and climate coordinator
Summary
At its April 22 meeting the Greenburgh Town Board approved a series of routine resolutions — including adopting a social media policy, appointing a climate-smart coordinator and accepting tree donations — and held over several public hearings for later votes.
The Greenburgh Town Board on April 22 moved through a slate of resolutions covering procurement, community events, personnel appointments and grants. Most motions were approved by voice vote; a few items and two public hearings were held over for a future meeting.
The board approved an online public-auction authorization to be conducted by Absolute Auctions and Realty on May 18 (TB2, moved and approved by voice vote). It approved multiple resolutions cancelling penalties and interest for specified properties (TV3) and authorizing a small settlement for property damage by Brittany Taylor (ATA1) for an amount not to exceed $1,000.
The board adopted a town social media policy for town-sponsored digital platforms and an employee personal-use social media policy (TV4). Council members also approved creating a town task force and made a municipal budget transfer for fiscal year 2026 (CC1). The board appointed Sophia Johnson as the town’s Climate Smart Communities coordinator (CD2) and proclaimed April 24 as Arbor Day (CD3); the town’s Conservation & Community Development department accepted approximately 200 tree seedlings donated by Con Edison for the 2026 Arbor Day celebration (CD4).
On procurement and public safety, the board authorized the police department to award a bid for Dodge Durango unmarked administrative vehicles with a total cost not to exceed $175,001.36 (PO3) and directed the Department of Public Works to bid its annual milling and resurfacing contract (PW1). The board also authorized submission of a flood-mitigation grant application to the New York State Office of Resilient Homes and Communities related to flood mitigation along Babette Court and Soamoa River Road (PW2).
Several public hearings (PH1, PH2) and at least one resolution (PO4) were explicitly held over for future consideration, and a proposed ICE-related resolution was deferred until a full board can participate. Most roll-call items were approved by voice vote with “aye” recorded; the meeting record shows the motions were moved and seconded and carried. The board adjourned after completing the agenda.
