Town of Cairo minutes record multiple approvals including ZBA appointment, billing acceptances and park RFQ
Summary
The Town Board minutes of July 6, 2026, record the appointment of Harold Dedrick to the Zoning Board of Appeals, acceptance of sewer and water billings, authorization to advertise an RFQ for Angelo Canna Town Park, and authorization for court staff to attend a conference; one conference authorization was tabled.
The Town Board of the Town of Cairo recorded several formal actions in its July 6, 2026 minutes, including an appointment to the Zoning Board of Appeals, acceptance of billing and penalty amounts for water and sewer, and approval to advertise a request-for-quote for rehabilitation work at Angelo Canna Town Park.
Supervisor Bogins offered Resolution No. 2026-135 to appoint Harold Dedrick to the Zoning Board of Appeals; the minutes record the appointment as effective July 7, 2026, for a five-year term expiring December 31, 2031. The motion is recorded as seconded by Council Member VanDenburgh and marked “Motion Carried” with Supervisor Bogins, Council Member Brandow and Council Member VanDenburgh recorded as voting “Aye.”
The board also recorded approval of financial items: Resolution No. 2026-138 accepted a sewer penalty of $2,989.12 dated July 1, 2026, and Resolution No. 2026-139 accepted water billing in the amount of $67,632.08 dated July 1, 2026. Both motions are recorded as carried with the same aye/absent roll call recorded in the minutes.
Resolution No. 2026-140, offered by Council Member Brandow, authorized advertising an RFQ (request for quote) for rehabilitation of two little-league baseball fields at Angelo Canna Town Park; that motion is recorded as carried. Council Member Brandow also offered Resolution No. 2026-136 to authorize Angela Neimer and Sandra Nadeau to attend the New York State Court Clerk Association conference; the minutes record the combined registration and meal-plan cost as $536 plus mileage and tolls, and the motion is recorded as carried. The minutes list the conference dates as “September 28-20, 2026” (as written in the minutes).
The board introduced Resolution No. 2026-137 to authorize Justice Joan M. VanDenburgh to attend the New York State Magistrates Association meeting (minutes list dates as September 28–30, 2026) but the minutes indicate that resolution was tabled to the next meeting.
The minutes record the roll call for the recorded votes as Supervisor Bogins – Aye; Council Member Brandow – Aye; Council Member Flaherty – Absent; Council Member Murphy – Absent; Council Member VanDenburgh – Aye.
The minutes also contain an internal inconsistency: an earlier line in the record states a quorum was not present and votes could not be taken; later, multiple motions and roll-call votes are recorded as carried. The minutes present both statements; the article reports both as recorded in the minutes without adjudicating the inconsistency.
Next steps: the minutes do not show implementation details beyond the approvals; the RFQ advertisement and appointment paperwork are the likely administrative follow-ups recorded for future action.
