The Mineola Board of Trustees approved a slate of routine requests and personnel actions during its May work session and public meeting, including event permits, equipment purchases and staff promotions.
The board unanimously approved several event permits: a devotional procession organized by Corpus Christi Church on May 13; the Mineola Athletic Association’s Gaelic football tournament at Wilson Park on June 13; a farmers market organized by NYU Langone in Parking Field 1 on selected Thursdays; and the Mineola Union Free School District’s marching band home show on Oct. 24. Trustees also authorized use of the Village Hall Community Center Auditorium for a Delcap Management meeting on May 14.
In capital and equipment decisions, trustees approved a $80,075 purchase to acquire a 2026 Ford Transit XLT 15-passenger van for the fire department from Firematic Supply Company Inc., including lights and radio installation; the board was told the vehicle will be used to transport junior fire department members and for training. The board also approved a $210,000 engineering services contract for 2026–27 road improvements with D&B Engineers & Architects and authorized replacement of a server and software for the Harrison Avenue parking garage (Advanced Control Industry Inc., $7,257.98).
Public works and utilities matters included authorization to purchase 35 water meters (vendor Real Supply Corp, $16,565) and promotion of Connor Kramer to water plant operator at an annual salary of $82,000 effective May 7. Trustees authorized hiring two laborers, Rafael Bergovich and Charlie Klein, for the sewer division; start dates and salaries were described as in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement. The board accepted a retirement letter from a central garage mechanic and approved the associated benefit payout per the bargaining agreement.
Trustees approved a contract award for routine pool security services to Global Security Associates, to be funded from the pool fund and general fund unreserved balances. They also authorized a reserved handicap parking space at the rear of 422 Harricks Road to provide easier access for the property.
The board discussed work at Wilson Park, where trustees approved a paving contract for Parking Field No. 18 with Land Tech Group LLC. The agenda includes a dollar amount that is unclear in the transcript record; the village clerk’s office or the posted agenda should be consulted for the precise contract figure.
During department reports, the building department reported issuing 86 permits and conducting 71 inspections in April, completed demolition of the medical building at 110 Willis, and noted active façade work at 155 1st Street and 111 2nd Street. Village officials encouraged residents to contact the building department with questions or concerns.
The board also approved payments for settled 2025–2026 tax certiorari cases (a settlement chart is available at the village clerk’s office) and authorized participation in the National Purchasing Partners cooperative to facilitate cooperative purchasing and potential cost savings.
