The Albion Village Board of Trustees tabled the hiring of a water treatment plant operator at its May 8 meeting, holding off on filling the position until leaks in the village system are addressed. Trustee William Gabalski was assigned to reach out to DPW Superintendent Jay Pahura to investigate leak detection options, with the board planning to take the matter back up May 22. The hiring decision was one of three items the board set aside for later that night. Cameras and a proposed Code Enforcement memorandum of understanding were also tabled to May 22, the latter pending review by the village attorney. No further detail on the scope of either item appears in the minutes. Water and sewer accounts otherwise ran through the board's routine business. Trustees approved payment of village bills covering vouchers #45933 through #46007, including $21,589.21 from the General fund, $35,166.17 from Water and $40,669.50 from Sewer. A separate round of budget adjustments authorized $4,825.75 to Bernard Donegan, Inc., split across the WIIA 1 and WIIA 2 projects, a plow/dump truck line and an FMS line, plus a change order updating dates on the WIIA 1 project itself. Other fund transfers covered $2,266.78 and, later in the meeting, an additional $224.04 in ARPA funds along with $144.49 from HRA reserves, all directed to I.D. Booth for work on the Bullard Park Pavilion. The board also opened two public hearings for later in the month. One, set for May 15, will take comment on a grant application under Round 8 of the ReStore NY Communities' initiative municipal grant program. The other, set for May 22, will consider rezoning parcel 73,10-1-24 at 210 S Main St from RC to GC. Village Historian Susan Starkweather-Miller told the board that a former Albion resident, George D Harris, had donated an art piece by animal painter Peter B West, arranged through his grandson, George Harris. Trustees separately directed the historian to research what the cemetery would need for a chapel. Elsewhere, the board approved a $300.00 contingency-fund payment to Starkweather-Miller for a year of service as historian, and a $500.00 contingency-fund payment toward the village's ReStore NY application fee. Trustees approved a month-to-month lease with Gabrielle Major for 153sqft of office space at 121 N Main St, at $1.50 per sq ft starting June 1. They voted to implement cybersecurity upgrades for village computer equipment, with Gabalski to follow up with the village's IT provider, Deeley IT, and to post department head board reports to the village website once the village attorney reviews an item recorded only as PCF. The board also asked that an attendance log for village boards and committees be added to the website. On infrastructure beyond the water system, trustees approved a letter to the NYSDOT regional director seeking repairs to Ingersol St, citing a bridge closure. They also approved a proclamation to be presented to officers at the May 22 meeting, and signed off on special events permits for Bullard Park's AYSAP football program, running July 22 through October 31, and for use of the Platt St parking lot in the Law Enforcement Torch Run on May 31; Trustee Tim McMurray abstained on both permit votes without explanation recorded in the minutes. The board closed the evening in executive session for personnel and contract matters, entering at 8:08 p.m. and returning to open session at 9:04 p.m., when the meeting adjourned. Mayor Angel Javier Jr. was absent for the entire meeting, which Deputy Mayor Joyce Riley presided over alongside Trustees Gabalski, Greg Bennett and McMurray. The tabled water treatment plant operator hire, cameras and Code Enforcement memorandum of understanding, along with both public hearings, are scheduled to return to the board May 22.
