Summary
Trustees summarized prior work-session approvals: an $11,000 tax refund settlement for Seagull Gardens Apartment, Hello Alert security camera installations funded at $53,820, a three-year LOSAP agreement with Firefly, and approvals for seasonal lighting and staffing hires.
At the Sept. 2 organizational meeting Mayor Ralph Ekstrand listed several items the Board approved in recent work sessions. The record shows an $11,000 tax certiorari refund for Seagull Gardens Apartment (premises 474 Fulton Street) covering tax years 2021/22–2025/26 with no assessed-value reduction; the minutes note an Article 7 filing contingency if future assessments change.
Other approvals listed in the minutes include a three-year contract with Firefly for LOSAP administration for the Fire Department, Hello Alert security camera installations at wells and DPW facilities funded by the Special Use/Incentive Bonus Reserve in the amount of $53,820, hiring Vincent Grauso and Keith Ryan Sr. as part-time Fire Department personnel at $22 per hour, and $26,730 for additional seasonal lighting on North Main Street. The Board recorded these as prior work-session resolutions and accepted them into the minutes.
