Highland Falls board approves $1.03M warrant, holds $10,000 FEMA contingency for ballfield repairs
Summary
Trustees approved Bills & Claims Warrant #2512 totaling $1,027,379.67 with a 4–1 roll‑call vote; the board said it is holding a $10,000 contingency for the FEMA Little League project while pursuing contractor penalties for a 10‑day overrun.
Trustee Gargiulo moved to approve Bills & Claims Warrant #2512 for FY 2025–26 with a total of $1,027,379.67 distributed across funds: General $230,137.81; Water $134,102.06; Sewer $66,057.47; Capital $596,097.40. Trustee Carroll seconded; after discussion about the FEMA Little League field contract the motion passed on a roll‑call vote 4–1 (Ayes: Ramus, Gargiulo, Carroll, DiSalvo; Nay: Olivia).
Trustee Olivia pressed whether the village will pursue contract penalties for a contractor that ran 10 days over the project end date and noted two days of engineering inspector fees for which there was no contractor presence. Mayor DiSalvo said the village is "absolutely taking those costs" and that the village engineer met with the contractor and the village is holding a $10,000 contingency on the FEMA project.
