Village board approves organizational resolutions, sets calendar and routine policies
Summary
At its annual organizational meeting, the village board approved a slate of routine resolutions — designating the village clerk to collect taxes, setting meeting and court schedules, naming KeyBank as official depository, and adopting state mileage rates — all by unanimous voice vote.
The presiding officer opened the annual meeting and the board quickly approved a series of organizational resolutions that set the village's calendar, banking and operational rules for the year.
"Village clerk be designated to collect taxes," the presiding officer said, and the motion (moved by Guy, seconded by Rich) carried on a voice vote. The board set regular meetings for the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m., designated Tuesdays as village court nights at 6:00 p.m., and approved the 2026 annual meeting date as April 6 (the first Monday). Members also designated KeyBank as the official depository and authorized named banks to bid on investments and borrowing instruments.
The board affirmed administrative policies needed for day‑to‑day operations: advance approval for recurring payments (utilities, credit cards, postage, insurance premiums), adherence to New York State Office of the State Comptroller mileage and lodging reimbursement rates, and approval of the procurement policy and code of ethics (each passed after motion and unanimous voice vote). The board also authorized Mayor Robert W. Valente and Trustee Forte to sign checks in the treasurer's absence and reaffirmed that checks over $1,000 require two signatures.
These items were handled as routine organizational business to ensure continuity of municipal operations; staff will publish the calendar and updated policies with the village clerk for public reference.
