Board approves website changes to accept Hunter Branch Rail Trail donations; supervisor recused from appropriation votes
Summary
The board approved contracting NexStep Digital to update Townofhunter.gov to accept donations for trail development, authorizing up to $2,000 with a 4–1 vote (Supervisor Mahoney recused). A prior motion to appropriate funds that lacked a second failed.
The Town Board agreed to have NexStep Digital modify Townofhunter.gov to accept donations earmarked for trail development, including specific contributions for Hunter Branch Rail Trail handicap accessibility. Councilman Ernest Reale moved the amended motion, Councilman David Kukle seconded, and the motion passed with four votes in favor and one recusal (Ayes 4, Noes 0, Recuse 1 — Supervisor Sean Mahoney).
An earlier motion by Reale to appropriate up to $2,000 that received no second did not proceed. The board later approved a separate motion to appropriate funds for NexStep Digital from General Fund Savings on the same 4–0 (1 recusal) tally. The board discussed merchant-account needs and Stripe payment processing; Supervisor Mahoney noted the town must use a ".gov" domain and said email accounts under the old gov.com domain would need to change to comply, assigning Marc Czermerys to work on the email/domain fixes.
