ALBION — Following a brief public hearing, the Village Board unanimously voted to change the name of Nashburn Street to Zeppetella Way during their regular meeting on July 9. The decision came after a resident sought clarification on the request, though the minutes do not specify the nature of the inquiry. Deputy Mayor William Gabalski, alongside Trustees Joyce Riley and Tim McMurray, voted in favor of the change. Mayor Angel Javier Jr. and Trustee Greg Bennett were absent. The trustees moved quickly through a full agenda that included financial housekeeping for the recent July 3rd celebration preparations and securing funding for youth recreation. Financials and Fireworks The board approved the payment of roughly $240,000 in general village bills, as well as separate water and sewer expenditures. Significant attention was given to the accounting for the July 3rd festivities. The board accepted $1,125.50 in donations from local businesses, including JimCamm Enterprises, Hearth & Home, and Plaza Liquor & Wine, to be placed into celebration reserves. They also authorized a $10,000 expenditure from those reserves to pay Young Explosives Corporation, likely for the fireworks display. Additionally, the board approved a $250 stipend for camp directors. Investing in Parks and Historic Sites Looking toward future improvements, the board took steps to enhance two major village assets. Trustees voted to hire G&G Municipal Consulting to pursue grant funding for two specific projects: replacing the roof on the Chapel at Mount Albion Cemetery and purchasing new exercise equipment for Bullard Park. The Chapel, a historic structure in the village cemetery, requires maintenance to preserve its architectural integrity. On the ground, the board approved permits for two upcoming events at Bullard Park. A "Sunday Fest" is scheduled for July 27, and the "Walk for Life 2025" is set for September 27. Policing and Planning In police matters, the board authorized two members of the Albion Police Department to attend the 2025 National Homeland Security Conference in late August. The training costs will be covered by Orleans County Opioid Settlement funds, ensuring the expense does not impact the village tax levy. Trustee McMurray was also directed to seek quotes for security cameras for 121 N. Main St. The board addressed a significant economic development issue by approving a revised Payment In Lieu Of Taxes (PILOT) agreement for DePaul, negotiated with the Town of Albion, Orleans County, and the Albion Central School District. The meeting also touched on administrative planning. A proposal from G&G Municipal Consulting regarding the village’s Comprehensive Plan was tabled until the next workshop meeting. Administration The board adjusted its schedule, voting to cancel the workshop meeting originally set for July 23. It has been rescheduled for July 30 at 6:00 PM. Trustee Riley provided an update to the board regarding a settlement agreement with 3M concerning PFAS contamination, though specific details of the update were not recorded in the minutes. The meeting adjourned at 6:20 p.m.
