budget. The work was approved May of 2025, but it was never discussed
where the money would be coming from in the budget.

  MOTION to approve moving $6,350.00 from the Building Reserve into
  the current Police budget made by Trustee Richard Bley. Seconded by
  Trustee Nick Enders. Unanimous. Carried.

Budget – Need to move money from Unappropriated Fund Balance to
balance the budget for year end, to ensure there are no negative lines in the
budget for the AFR, and approve Tracy to move money in budget lines to
balance all lines to $0. A list of what will be transferred will be at next
meeting.

  MOTION to approve moving money from Unappropriated Fund
  Balance and allow Tracy to adjust budget lines and make transfers for
  end of year made by Trustee Corinne Leone. Seconded by Trustee
  Nick Enders. Unanimous. Carried.

Close out H Accounts – The HC account has a remaining unspent balance of
$1,734.60 and the HD account has a remaining unspent balance of $141.90 –
left over from 2021 dump truck, that needs to be moved into the General Fund
to close out the accounts in our program.

  MOTION to approve moving the HC unspent funds into the General
  account made by Trustee Richard Bley. Seconded by Trustee Corinne
  Leone. Unanimous. Carried.

  MOTION to approve moving the HD unspent funds into the General
  account made by Trustee Corinne Leone. Seconded by Trustee
  Richard Bley. Unanimous. Carried.

Planning Board – Discussion took place to dissolve the joint Town/Village
Planning board and create a planning board that is solely for the Village.
There were concerns, made by residents, about their communication with
the Village as well as not being included in projects recently. There is a need
to update our current code and zoning and the feeling that a complete Village
Planning Board would represent the Villages needs better than a joint board.
Richard Schaus said he would draft two local laws, one to dissolve the
current joint board and a second to create the new board. Each would need
their own public hearing and they can be done on the same day one after the
other.

Clock – Turnbull Nursery Inc. came and dug the hole for the base; we need
to get in touch with a concrete contractor to pour the concrete. Would also
like them to possibly replace the slab that lifted in front of the park.

SRO – Contract has been finalized, a $1.50 increase per hour paid to the
Village on the contract was agreed on while everything else in the contract
remains the same as last year.

  MOTION to approve the NCCSD contract for SRO for the 2026-2027
  year made by Trustee Richard Bley. Seconded by Trustee Nick Enders.
  Unanimous. Carried.

Tax Warrant – Appointing Tracy Mallaber as Treasurer to collect the taxes
for the 2026-27 fiscal year beginning on June 1, 2026 in total of $724,731.75.

  MOTION to approve the tax warrant appointing Tracy Mallaber as the
  tax collector made by Trustee Corinne Leone. Seconded by Trustee
  Nick Enders. Unanimous. Carried.
