Greenwich council adopts 2026 appropriations, amends Greenlawn Cemetery fees and OKs web‑support contract

The Greenwich Village Council voted March 17 to adopt multiple 2026 appropriation measures, amend cemetery fees and authorize village website support for 2026.

At the council’s regular meeting in village hall, members gave final approval to Ordinance 2026‑O‑5, described as supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2026, and to Ordinance 2026‑O‑6, making appropriations for current expenses and other expenditures for 2026. Both ordinances were adopted at their third readings. The minutes record the ordinances were approved and adopted; specific vote tallies and the names of movers and seconders were not specified in the meeting text.

Council also adopted Ordinance 2026‑O‑7, which amends section 1062.12 of the Greenwich codified municipal code to change fees for Greenlawn Cemetery. In the same meeting the council approved Resolution 2026‑R‑5, authorizing the village administrator to enter into a written agreement with Aaron D. Back for website support and Americans with Disabilities Act compliance for calendar year 2026. Resolution 2026‑R‑3 was tabled until the council’s second meeting in April.

Solicitor Steve Palmer advised that while the village administrator position is vacant, the mayor and the fiscal officer will sign contracts. The minutes note these measures were taken as third readings and adopted during the March 17 meeting; there is no additional detail in the minutes about budgetary amounts tied to the adopted appropriations beyond the supplemental description.

The council confirmed its next regular meeting for April 7 at 6:00 p.m. at Greenwich Village Hall.
