Highland Falls board approves bills, tax‑lien resolution and reserve transfers in routine session
Summary
Trustees approved bills and claims totaling about $1.03 million, a resolution to place unpaid water and sewer charges on the 2026 tax roll, and set aside several reserve allocations for village vehicles and equipment.
At its workshop meeting the Highland Falls Village Board approved a set of routine but material fiscal and administrative items. The board approved bills and claims for fiscal year 2025–26 (order number 2500And12) totaling $1,027,379.67, with approximately $596,000 charged to the capital fund, and approved a motion to include delinquent water and sewer charges on the 2026 tax roll.
The board also passed a reserve transfer resolution allocating funds for capital vehicle reserves and village hall repairs (including a $60,000 allocation to a fire‑truck reserve and $50,000 for a DPW vehicle reserve). The attorney and trustees discussed retainage and contract compliance on a Little League field FEMA project during the bills discussion and said the engineer would be present for a follow‑up public review. "We're going to pay him 90 and hold back 10 until everything gets to the satisfaction of one or two board members," the presiding official said regarding contract retainage for the project (speaker 1).
