Board approves budget amendments and grants including Kenilworth pump‑station share and sidewalk/clean‑energy grants
Summary
The Town Board authorized several budget amendments: funding the town’s 17.7% share of the Kenilworth pump‑station modification from the water fund, accepted a $75,000 scanning grant and two NYSERDA Clean Energy grants ($5,000 and $10,000), and noted a $2.9M Westchester County grant for a roundabout project.
During the meeting the board approved a set of budget amendments to reflect grants and a transfer to fund the town’s share of a pump‑station modification.
Controller Tracy Augman told the board the amendment would fund the town’s 17.7% share of the Kenilworth pump‑station modification through a transfer from the water fund; the board then moved and approved the transfer by roll call. The motion authorized the comptroller to make the necessary budget adjustments.
Augman also presented three grant‑related amendments: a $75,000 grant to digitize engineering and zoning documents, and two NYSERDA Clean Energy Communities awards ($5,000 and $10,000) to support the town’s climate efforts. Board members described these grants as modest individually but cumulatively helpful.
The supervisor reported that the town was awarded a $2.9 million Westchester County grant toward a roundabout at a major intersection, and that $2 million in congressionally directed funds were already secured, making the project fully grant‑funded pending final agreements.
The board approved the budget amendments and grant recognitions by motion and roll call during the same session.
