Brightwaters schedules Jan. 5 hearing on 2026 fire‑protection contract after trustees flag higher costs
Summary
Trustees set a Jan. 5, 2026 public hearing to review the village’s 2026 fire‑district protection contract, noting the transcript lists a current contract near $398,035 and an insurance estimate of about $12,000, with a projected increase of roughly $30,000–$40,000.
The Brightwaters board called a public hearing for Jan. 5, 2026 to review the village’s 2026 fire‑district protection contract (contract reference transcribed in the meeting as 04/10814). Chair S1 previewed figures from the contract summary in the packet, with the transcript listing the current contract amount approximately as $398,035 and an estimated insurance cost of $12,000; the chair said the total increase would be "about 30 to 40,000."
Trustees said the fire department would present cost details at the scheduled hearing so the board and public could consider the proposed contract increase. The board called the hearing to collect public input before adopting the 2026 contract.
Why it matters: A larger contract for fire protection would affect the village budget and possibly require allocations within next year’s municipal expenditures; trustees flagged the item for formal review and public comment.
