Mayor suggests in‑village code enforcement oversight to capture fees from town contract
Summary
Mayor DiSalvo proposed creating a Village code enforcement oversight position to allow faster responses and possibly capture a larger share of fees; he said the town collects roughly $110,000 in fees with about 70% attributable to village activity.
Mayor James DiSalvo told trustees the village currently contracts with the town for code enforcement but may need an in‑village oversight position to 'pivot easier.' He said preliminary estimates indicate the town generates about $110,000 in fees and that roughly 70% of that activity is village‑related, implying the village could capture a larger share if it added a dedicated position.
DiSalvo cautioned that creating a position would change the A‑fund and that the board must evaluate whether double taxation of village taxpayers could occur. Trustees did not finalize a decision and asked staff to further evaluate budget implications.
