East Hampton board approves budget amendments, parking‑lot work and multiple procurement contracts

East Hampton, March 20, 2026 — The East Hampton Village Board approved a bundle of routine and substantive resolutions at its March meeting, including budget amendments, procurement approvals and personnel actions tied in part to the long‑term parking lot renovation and emergency services building repairs.

Key approvals included Resolution 72, which amended the fiscal year 2026 budget to add $99,595.75 from the assigned unappropriated fund balance for expenditures related to the EMS building, and Resolution 73, which added $59,916.94 for fire‑department expenditures. The board also approved a budget amendment for the long‑term parking‑lot project (Resolution 74); the dollar figure in the transcript was garbled and is not specified in the meeting record.

Several procurement and change‑order items tied to the parking‑lot work and village buildings passed. The board approved a drainage‑structure installation quote for the long‑term parking lot from South Fork Asphalt (Res. 101) and later approved a $19,150 change order from Rosemar Contracting for drainage adjustments and curb boxes for that project (Res. 113). Officials said the parking‑lot renovation had closed the lower Lumber Lane lot in early March, expects to add roughly 26 parking spaces after merging lots, and planned to close the upper lot on April 1 for another 30 days with alternate side‑street parking available during construction.

The board also moved forward on emergency repair quotes for the EMS building. The mayor said the village initially received an $80,000 quote for generator/emergency repairs but reported an alternate contractor completed the work for a much lower amount, saving the village a large portion of the original estimate. (The transcript records some figures with typographical errors; exact final contract amounts were not fully legible for all entries.)

Other actions: the board appointed Gabrielle McKay as recording officer for the June 16, 2026 village election (Res. 80); approved training enrollments for village employees (Res. 91–93); accepted a $12,000 donation from John Callahan of Riverhead Building Supply toward the fire‑department antique barn (Res. 106); approved a two‑year license with Circuit Transit Inc. for long‑term parking spaces (Res. 117); and approved multiple routine refunds, surpluses and disposals.

The board concluded the open meeting, with a motion to go into executive session. Many of the resolutions were adopted by unanimous voice vote; roll‑call tallies were not recorded for each line item in the transcript.
