Present: Mayor Jeff Greener
Trustees: Deputy Mayor Bloom, Carey Ye, 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 January minutes, all in favor.
Mayor Greener opened up a discussion about Building department fees. Our Building Inspector went over the permit applications to see if we are in line with other villages and codes regarding our fees. We have not raised the villages building fees in quite some time. The Building Inspector gave the board a thorough outline of fees to be raised. The fee adjustments are justified covering rising labor, technology, and inspection costs. The village is ensuring fees reflect actual staff time, administrative overhead, and materials and also aligning with new regulatory requirements or cost structures set by state codes.
The board had a discussion and made only one change to an initial window charge from $350 to $200.
Mayor Greener made a motion to approve the new fees, with the change of the window charge, seconded by Deputy Mayor Bloom, all in favor.
Mayor Greener brought attention to budget modifications needed to be done for the upcoming audit of the 2025-2026 budget, the clerk gave copies of the modifications for review as seen below.
