Village Board Approves new trucks for Recreation Department

BY RIKKI MASSAND

The Village’s Department of Recreation and Parks Superintendent Paul Blake addressed agenda items before the trustees at the February 2 meeting. He explained that a purchase of two pickup trucks, now coming at a cost under the Westchester County Contract of $53,259.75 per truck, was higher than the anticipated 2021 purchase prices of $40,000 per vehicle. The purchase was originally intended to occur for the fiscal year 2021-2022, budgeted in 2021. Two years ago the village was unable to buy these trucks due to computer chip shortages for the make and model and the manufacturer limiting the number of trucks that were made available on government contracts.

The two new pickups will be replacing 2008 models that Blake noted to be at the end of their useful life.

“Unfortunately the prices went up from the time that we budgeted them, however we do have adequate funds in our capital budget due to savings. We had $80,000 budgeted to purchase a new school bus for Recreation, but we reduced that and purchased a new wood chipper for $49,000 so there are adequate funds to cover the cost of the two new trucks,” Blake said.

Also at the February 2 Board of Trustees’ meeting the board approved a change order in the amount of $40,830, to include removal of 15 dead and diseased trees. Several of those trees identified for the additional costs, for vendor Dom’s Lawn Maker of Port Washington, are located on private property throughout the village. Money for this change order amount comes from the Recreation Departments’ operating budget.

Superintendent Blake explained to the board that there was contact made by the Village to homeowners about the conditions of trees identified as dead or diseased, and needing to be taken down for safety and health reasons. He said since there were homeowners who were unresponsive to the village’s formal notice about the trees, of the new amount of $40,830 approved for tree removals $8,920 will be charged to homeowners who have not complied with the village’s directives to remove dead trees on their property.

“Those are trees that are either dead or infested, and they pose a safety hazard. As we do with lawns, hedges and shrubs, we will remove the trees and then we will bill the homeowner. If the homeowner does not pay the village that fee will go on the tax rolls,” he told the trustees.

The annual village tree removal contract was awarded to Dom’s Lawn Maker at the board’s meeting on November 17, 2022. The contract was initially for $191,020.

Two members of the village’s Recreation and Parks Department staff, Andrea Genna and Felicia Lovaglio, will be attending the New York State Recreation and Parks Society Annual Conference in late April in Monticello. The board approved the cost of their attendance, approximately $1,500 total, with an agenda item at last Thursday’s meeting. The agenda noted that the conference will include workshops and diverse programs “covering a wide range of topics that influence how recreation managers can meet the daily challenges of delivering quality programs and activities to their constitu- ents.” Superintendent Blake expanded on the good reasons for staff attendance.

“This conference brings together recreation personnel from all over the state. There are numerous educational and networking opportunities and it is just good for training. Since one of these ladies is new to the Recreation and Parks Department (Genna) we really want to get her involved in professional development,” he told the Board of Trustees.

An item not on the February 2 trustees’ agenda was positive news from the Recreation commissioner. Paul Blake referenced an item discussed at the January Board of Trustees’ meeting and shared that Pole-Tec Company installed a new flagpole at Garden City’s Community Park and was scheduled to install the new flagpole, 75-feet high, in front of St. Paul’s.

“We ordered these poles in August 2022 but they had to be fabricated so it took some time to get them. The vendor is on-site putting them in and they both should be done in the next week,” he explained.
