Summary
Mayor DiSalvo reported the village activated emergency measures during the recent storm, including an emergency snow-blower purchase, use of a new DPW truck, and mutual aid from Orange County and West Point; the State of Emergency was lifted Feb. 3, 2026.
Mayor DiSalvo said the village mobilized resources during the recent storm and approved emergency spending to keep roads clear and essential services operating. He told the Board that "a new DPW truck was delivered this week" and that he approved "an emergency purchase for the snow blower attachment for the Skid Steer during the storm and State of Emergency." The mayor added that vendors helped and Orange County provided two dump trucks and drivers to assist with snow removal.
Trustee James Ramus emphasized the operational impact on village facilities and staff during the event. DiSalvo said the village is pursuing additional plow training for DPW and is beginning discussions with the Garrison Command at West Point about a potential intermunicipal agreement; he noted West Point allowed DPW to move snow onto the Visitor Center parking lot during the storm. The meeting record shows the "State of Emergency has been lifted as of February 3, 2026."
