Greenburgh board approves appointments, grant for Juneteenth event and multiple tax settlements
Summary
The Greenburgh Town Board approved appointments and reappointments, accepted a $3,000 Arts Westchester grant for Juneteenth activities, authorized a $2,000 property-damage settlement, and approved multiple tax certiorari settlements and routine municipal resolutions.
At its June 11 meeting the Greenburgh Town Board approved a set of routine appointments and resolutions.
Appointments and reappointments: The board moved to appoint Leah Rodriguez as town justice (effective 07/01/2020; term to expire 12/31/2025) and reappointed Hillary Levy to the Board of Assessment Review for a term to expire 09/30/2029; both motions were seconded and the board approved them by voice vote.
Grants and events: The board accepted a $3,000 grant from Arts Westchester via Greenburgh Arts and Culture to support the town’s annual Juneteenth celebration, scheduled for Friday (start 5:30 p.m.), including a flag-raising and remarks by County Executive Ken Jenkins.
Settlements and tax certiorari: The board authorized a property-damage settlement in file number 1025c (Jose Marajo) for an amount not to exceed $2,000. The board also approved multiple tax certiorari settlements; one petitioner (Cree Bet Realty, Ltd.) received refunds totaling $27,854 according to the record. Other tax-refund amounts in the transcript were unclear or presented in garbled numeric form and are recorded below as "amount not specified." The board approved these settlements by voice vote.
Capital and contracts: The board approved change orders for the Odell House exterior stabilization project; the transcript text contains garbled cost figures for these change orders and the meeting record indicates portions of the cost will be covered by grants (the board referenced approximately $64,000 as the town’s share based on the resolution language). The board also authorized a shared-service municipal agreement with the Village of Tarrytown for a New York State DEC recycling-app grant, awarded traffic-material bids for 2025, and approved using an online auction company at no cost to dispose of surplus vehicles and equipment.
Votes and outcomes: Nearly all listed motions were moved, seconded and adopted by voice vote (recorded as "Aye"). No roll-call tallies identifying individual yes/no votes were provided in the transcript.
Items noted for clarification: Several dollar amounts in the meeting transcript (notably multiple tax-refund and change-order figures) were garbled in the audio-to-text record; the board packet or clerk’s office should be consulted for precise figures before publication or fiscal reporting.
The meeting adjourned after reminders about the Juneteenth celebration.
