Summary

Trustees conditionally appointed Eric Dangler of Purchase, N.Y., as police chief, subject to civil service procedures and terms of an offer dated July 22, 2026; the transcript contains a garbled salary figure and does not provide a clear annual amount.

The board voted to appoint Eric Dangler of Purchase, New York, to the position of police chief, subject to civil service procedures and the terms of an offer dated July 22, 2026. The motion carried unanimously by the three trustees present.

The formal resolution in the meeting record states: “Eric Dangler of Purchase New York is hereby conditionally appointed to the position of police chief … subject to the civil service procedures of [the] state and according to the terms of the offer dated 07/22/2026.” The transcript also attempts to record an annual salary figure, but the text is garbled and not legible in the record; the board and administrator discussed the conditional appointment and civil service transition from a provisional status to permanent appointment.

Trustees offered congratulations; the item passed with unanimous votes. Because the recorded salary line in the transcript is unclear, this article marks the salary as not specified and recommends consulting the official appointment paperwork or minutes for the exact compensation figure.
