Town Board approves multiple resolutions, records abstentions and a recall vote
Summary
At the August 10 special meeting the Town of Babylon board approved a series of resolutions (including items listed as 5 79–5 87). One item (5 80) recorded an abstention and was recalled for a second vote, producing a final tally with two abstentions.
The Town of Babylon board considered and approved a sequence of resolutions on the special meeting agenda, including items referenced in the transcript as 5 79 through 5 87.
Councilman Mineta moved to approve item 5 79 (seconded by Councilman Martinez) and the board approved the resolution. For a subsequent item (identified in the transcript as 5 80) a roll-call was recorded: Councilman Mineta announced "Abstain," while Councilmen Martinez, McSweeney and Gregory voted yes and Supervisor Schaffer said yes, yielding "4 votes in favor, 1 abstention." Supervisor Schaffer later recalled Resolution 5 80 (noting a conflict related to the plumbing board) and the board re-voted after a new motion; the revised result recorded in the transcript was "Resolutions approved, 3 votes in favor, 2 abstentions."
Additional agenda resolutions (5 82 and items listed through 5 87) were each offered and approved either by voice vote or roll call as shown in the transcript. The meeting record supplied no detailed ordinance texts or dollar figures for these resolutions in the spoken portions of the transcript; where a roll call occurred the transcript records the individual responses (yes/abstain) as spoken during the meeting.
