Summary
Trustees authorized a one-year firehouse lease, approved a $1,977.23 budget transfer to workers' compensation, and heard a mayoral report that included police statistics, a $150,000 CDBG award for the senior center, and expected FEMA funds of approximately $1,000,000.
The board authorized the mayor or deputy mayor to execute a one-year lease of 9 Mountain Avenue to the Highland Falls Fire Department; trustees recorded a roll-call vote in favor and noted the lease term ends May 31, 2026. The board also approved a budget transfer of $1,977.23 from the general fund to workers’ compensation (account 0658).
Mayor DeSalvo delivered a report including police activity (804 calls; 22 arrests — 1 felony, 14 misdemeanors, 7 violations), an upcoming lead service-line inspection notice to appear in November water bills, and administrative items such as a Mobile DMV visit Oct. 31. The mayor said the village had secured approximately $150,000 in CDBG funds for senior center ADA and parking improvements and is expecting about $1,000,000 in FEMA funds to arrive in roughly 15–20 days to support ongoing projects.
