Pelham Manor board authorizes two state grant applications, contract awards and routine approvals
Summary
On June 22, 2026, the Pelham Manor Board of Trustees unanimously approved resolutions to apply for a Climate Smart Communities feasibility grant and a Water Quality Improvement Project grant, awarded a street‑sweeping contract, and approved vouchers and meeting minutes.
The Pelham Manor Board of Trustees unanimously approved several resolutions and routine administrative items at its June 22, 2026 meeting, including applications for two New York State grant programs and the award of a municipal services contract.
Village Manager Lindsey M. Luft presented a resolution authorizing the Village to apply to the New York State Climate Smart Communities (CSC) Grant Program for $20,000 to fund a feasibility study of the "interference under the Glover Field Complex," with a $20,000 local match and a total project cost of $40,000. The resolution cites Environmental Conservation Law Article 54, Title 15 and was approved by voice vote after discussion.
Manager Luft also outlined two green‑infrastructure projects for which the Village is applying under the New York State Water Quality Improvement Project (WQIP) program: attenuation practices on the Village Hall campus at Clay Avenue and a separate site on Forest Road (the Forest Road work is intended to address drainage challenges tied to Pelham Bay Park). The Board authorized a WQIP application seeking $1,006,000 with a local match of $251,500, for a total project cost of $1,257,500.
On procurement matters, the Manager recommended awarding the annual street‑sweeping contract to the lowest bidder, East Coast Industrial Services; the Board accepted the recommendation and authorized the award. The meeting record indicates the Village has worked with both bidding firms in prior years and that the Board follows a lowest‑bidder approach for this service.
The Board also approved the minutes of its June 8, 2026 meeting and authorized payment of voucher numbers 34726–34798. Rabbi Resnick of the Pelham Jewish Center requested use of Shore Park for a Rosh Hashanah service on Sept. 13, 2026; the Board unanimously granted that request.
The meeting concluded with a motion to enter executive session to discuss pending litigation and personnel matters.
