VILLAGE OF RED HOOK RESOLUTION #_____ - 2024 DATED: December 9, 2024
A meeting of the Village of Red Hook Board of Trustees was convened in public session at the Village Hall, 7467 South Broadway, Red Hook, NY on December 9, 2024. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Smythe.
RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE VARIOUS PURCHASES USING ARPA FUNDING
WHEREAS, the Village of Red Hook has remaining ARPA funding available that must be obligated by December 31, 2024 and expended by December 31, 2026, and
WHEREAS, the Board has discussed various projects for improvements to Village Hall including extra cleaning services, replacing the Prince Street doors, adding a telephone direct to the police department outside the Prince Street door, and changing the water fountains to water fountains with bottle fillers that filter and refrigerate, and
WHEREAS, the board initially approved a planning agreement with Nelson Pope & Voorhis (NPV) for zoning work in the Northeast quadrant of the Village with a budget of $15,000 in Resolution #50-2023, and NPV estimates the remaining work, as estimated in their 9/18/23 letter of agreement, to be about $10,860, and
WHEREAS, the Police radios, when remote from the police cars, were not always reliable, so we purchased repeaters to be added to the police cars for better reception when the officers were outside of their cars for $6,180, and
WHEREAS, a water leak detector has been purchased for $4013.77 which can be paid for with ARPA funds, and
WHEREAS, the Board acknowledges that the previously approved Solar Radar Speed Signs will not be able to be obligated prior to December 31,2024 due to the need to have NYSDOT approval prior to purchase. Therefore, these signs need to be removed from the ARPA spending list to be reauthorized when the final has been approved and a new budget and funding source established.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Village Board of Trustees authorizes the following:
-
The purchase of new doors for Prince St. as per the proposal from Hobson Window Inc. not to exceed $15,200
-
The purchase and installation of a telephone outside of the Prince St. door that will ring directly into the Police Dept. as per the proposal from Superior Telephone Systems not to exceed $1800

-
The purchase of 2 Elkay Drinking Fountains with Bottle Filler, on-wall, refrigerated & filtered to replace the existing drinking fountains not to exceed $5500
-
Authorize the additional spending of up to $11,000 for Nelson Pope & Voorhis zoning work
-
Rescind the approval of the Solar Radar Speed Signs to be funded by ARPA funding.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that these purchases will be made using available ARPA funding.
