The Colonie Town Board on July 9 approved a package of routine resolutions that included personnel appointments, contract awards, a new emergency medical services fee schedule and an emergency declaration to repair a town pumping station.
The board adopted a set of personnel actions (Resolution 242 a–d) that provisionally or permanently filled several positions across community development, public works and the tax department. Clerk read the resolutions and members moved and seconded each measure; roll-call votes were recorded and each resolution was adopted. One recorded abstention appears during the roll call for Resolution 242b (appointment of Christopher P. McCumber).
Other actions taken included Resolution 243, rescinding prior EMS fee schedules and adopting a new fee schedule for the remainder of 2026; Resolution 244, authorizing the director of purchasing to advertise for bids for boiler replacement at Memorial Town Hall; and Resolution 256, awarding a contract to Campeo Plumbing and Heating Inc. for boiler replacements at the Public Operations Center and the Public Safety Center.
The board also authorized contracts and agreements to provide town police officers as school resource officers, including a contract with Capital Region BOCES (Res. 245) and separate SRO agreements for two local school districts (Res. 246 and Res. 247). Resolution 250 authorized a contractor agreement with Collar City Concrete LLC for sidewalk installation at the Mohawk View Water Treatment Plant. Resolution 249 authorized advertising for proposals for independent audit services covering fiscal years ending 12/31/2026 through 12/31/2030.
On fiscal and administrative matters, the board approved Resolution 248, authorizing a refund of $5,008.98 to revise the 2026 sewer benefit assessment for 886 Watervalley Shaker Road, and Resolution 251, authorizing use of the insurance reserve fund to pay legal fees, expenses or settlements related to litigation.
The board declared surplus a vacant parcel at 64 Wade Road and authorized its sale subject to Section 90 of the New York State Town Law (Res. 253), and adopted Resolution 252 to retain Lisa Travis for temporary IT consulting services for the MIS department. Resolution 255 extended a professional services agreement with the Capital Region Transportation Council for transportation engineering and planning services.
The board invoked an emergency declaration (Res. 254) to permit repair work at the Mohawk View Water Treatment Plant low-lift pumping station; the measure was presented as necessary to expedite repairs and was adopted by roll call.
What happens next: Most of the approved contracts and authorizations proceed to implementation by the appropriate departments (purchasing, DPW, MIS or legal) for procurement, contracting and execution. The emergency declaration enables the town to begin repair work at the Mohawk View facility immediately. The board scheduled its next meeting for July 23.
(Attributions: procedural motions, roll-call votes and resolution titles were read into the record by the Clerk.)
