16. LABOR CONTRACTS

  Certain Town employees are represented by one bargaining unit, with the balance governed by Town
  Board rules and regulations. The International Operating Engineers Local 17 AFL-CIO bargaining
  unit has a current negotiated contract in place through December 31, 2026.

17. CONTINGENCIES

  Litigation—The Town is involved in litigation in the ordinary course of its operations. The Town
  believes that its ultimate liability, if any, in connection with these matters will not have a material
  effect on the Town’s financial condition or results of operations.

  Assessments—The Town is a defendant in litigation under Article 7 of the Real Property Tax Law of
  the State of New York to review tax assessments. While the Town vigorously defends assessments,
  the likelihood of success is on a case by case basis, and is dependent upon various factors including
  market values and appraised amounts. No potential amount or potential range of loss is determinable.
  However, management believes that level of such potential loss, if any, would be immaterial and no
  provisions have been made within the financial statements.

  Grants—In the normal course of operations, the Town receives grant funds from various Federal and
  State agencies. These grant programs are subject to audit by agents of the granting authority, the
  purpose of which is to ensure compliance with conditions precedent to the granting of funds. Any
  disallowed expenditures resulting from such audits could become a liability of the governmental
  funds. While the amount of any expenditures which may be disallowed cannot be determined at this
  time, management expects any amounts to be immaterial.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

  Management has evaluated subsequent events through April 27, 2026, which is the date the AFR is
  available for issuance, and have determined there are no subsequent events that require disclosure in
  conformity with the format prescribed by the Office of the State Comptroller of the State of New
  York.
