September 16, 2025 8:00pm – Village Hall
Present: Mayor Greener, Linda Cheung, Ronen Abergel
The Board meeting was brought to order by Mayor Greener at 8:00pm.
Mayor Greener made a motion to approve the July minutes, second Trustee Cheung, all in favor.
Mayor Greener read a resolution stating that the Village of Kensington had the required examination of the Kensington Village Court fiscal year ending February 2025. It was conducted and completed in compliance with section 2019-a.
Mayor Greener went over the certified audited financial statements from fiscal year ending February 2025. Mayor Greener stated that the auditors first look at the way the village manages the funds for the year based on our budget in terms of revenue and what the village thinks they will need to spend. Total revenue is $4.5 million the majority of that is real property taxes. The village general fund balance is now
$2.5 million; the village is in good shape.
In summary, the fund balance for all governmental funds totaled $3,000,000 as of year-end. The general fund balance decreased by $88,242; of this amount $400,000 has been assigned for next years’ budget; $60K is restricted to Parkland, $104K
relates to prepaid expenditures, $500,000 is assigned for police compensated absences, $100,000 was assigned for the construction of the pickle ball court and
$1,275,000 is unassigned. The current economic conditions mirrored those of the rest of the region. The auditors stated that the administration has been diligent on containing expenses while continuing to provide efficient services to the residents.
Mayor Greener made a motion to accept the audited financial statements by Skinnon and Faber, seconded by Trustee Cheung, all in favor.
Mayor Greener and the board had a discussion regarding an outdoor gym area at our pool where one can do light exercises and weights. Trustee Abergel had been in touch with a company called GameTime that does these types of fitness areas and also received a partial grant to bring the total of the gym to around $20K. The board discussed and will consider if we have enough money in the budget to cover it. The board stated that shading is more of a pressing issue at the pool area and will get funds in the budget for those costs. We also need to budget for two new water heater.
The board went over the proposal from Cowbay of a river rock installation around the perimeter of the pickleball court. They went over the pros and cons and
decided to move ahead with turf instead. We will get a new proposal for a turf perimeter.
On a motion of Mayor Greener, seconded by Trustee Cheung, accept the Police and Treasurers reports.
On the motion of Mayor Greener, all in favor, the meeting adjourned at 9:00pm.
