Town Board approves long consent calendar including bids, easements, CPF allocations and $1M bond for Montauk property

After public hearings and the public portion, the Town Board moved through a lengthy consent and resolutions calendar and approved a broad set of actions on March 19.

Key approvals recorded during the meeting included: acceptance of multiple construction and restoration bids for the Carl Fisher House (contracts awarded to Ronald Webb Builder LLC and subcontractors); award of the sports‑court resurfacing contract to Land Tech Group LLC; authorization of CPF water‑quality contributions (including to the Peconic Estuary Program); contract modifications and change orders for projects such as the Montauk Playhouse Community Center; and several budget modifications for town departments.

The board authorized a bond resolution not to exceed $1,000,000 to finance the acquisition of 68 South Elmwood Avenue, Montauk, and later approved a separate resolution to present the acquisition (reported purchase price mentioned as $1.45 million in the discussion). The board also approved a license agreement to allow AT&T to collocate at the temporary tower at 106 Stephen Hands Path with an initial compensation rate of $4,200 per month and a 2% annual escalation. A procurement resolution approved purchase of Glock handguns and associated items for the police department (bid awarded to Amchar Wholesale Inc., financial impact $101,152.50).

Most resolutions were moved, seconded and approved on unanimous voice votes recorded as “All in favor. Aye.” Where roll‑call votes were conducted, the minutes show unanimous support (Council members Flight, Leese, Rogers, Calder Piedmont and Supervisor Kathy Burke‑Gonzalez voted aye for the bond authorization). Several items were continued as notices of public hearing for April and May dates.

The board adjourned after completing the calendar; no contested votes or recorded dissents were noted in the meeting transcript.
