Police budget draft cites contract raises and a patrol car replacement
Summary
Chief Jason Torpey presented the FY2026‑27 police budget, saying increases are mainly from contract pay changes and replacement of a police car; the board also reviewed training and event coverage revenue lines.
Police Chief Jason Torpey presented the department's FY2026‑2027 budget, telling trustees that "the increases are mostly due to contract increases and a police car that will need to be replaced." Mayor DiSalvo reviewed salary, training and events budget lines as the board considered next steps.
Trustee questions focused on specific lines: the OIC (Officer in Charge) stipend, event coverage and whether meter or parking reforms could offset costs. Chief Torpey said the department bills for police escorts at large events and noted the village collected about $17,000 last year and projects $15,000 this year for escorts, which he said "more than covers the cost of the extra officers." The board scheduled DPW and water/wastewater budget reviews at subsequent meetings.
