Cedarhurst board waives BID penalties for Central Avenue property amid record discrepancy
Summary
The Board unanimously adopted Resolution No. 2026-19 to waive penalties, late fees and interest tied to a Business Improvement District assessment on a Central Avenue property after the BID signaled support; the transcript references two different addresses for the parcel.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Cedarhurst voted July 13 to waive penalties and interest on a delinquent Business Improvement District assessment for a Central Avenue property.
During a public hearing, Village Clerk-Treasurer Jacob Plaut read an affidavit submitted by the applicant and Pamela Berger, Executive Director of the BID, told the Board that “the BID is willing to forgive the penalties, late fees and interest.” On motion of Trustee Eric G. Brown, seconded by Trustee Myrna Zisman, the Board closed the hearing and adopted Resolution No. 2026-19 authorizing the waiver.
The transcript shows a discrepancy: the hearing affidavit and comments identify the applicant at 500 Central Avenue, while the adopted resolution text referenced in the meeting minutes is titled for 498-50 Central Avenue. The Board record adopted at the meeting did not resolve that difference on the record. The Village Clerk’s office should be consulted to confirm which parcel the resolution applies to and to ensure the official file and any public notices match the intended property.
The action clears assessments-related penalties for the named parcel, subject to the recorded resolution. The Board took the vote without discussion of any financial impact or broader policy change to BID collection procedures.
