Capital Budget Hearing
Release Date: April 26, 2006
The Greenburgh Town Boardwill hold a hearing tonight (Wednesday) at 7:15 PMon the proposed capital budget. The proposed budget that I submitted earlier this year can be read on our web site: www.greenburghny.com. Members of the Town Boardworked hard reviewing the proposed budget. We agreed to make some changes in the original proposal. The proposed changes are listed below. The major changes are placing an emergency generator at Town Hall instead of at the multipurpose center. Placing a generator at the Town Hall makes more sense for a number of reasons: If there is a power outage we will be able to continue providing essential services to our residents. In addition, some parts of the building can be used by residents as an emergency shelter. The Board also agreed to increase the road resurfacing and curbing rehabilitation budgets substantially. It’s possible that the Board will vote on the budget tonight.
In reference to the 2006 Capital Budget the following have been discussed:
- New AS400 Server decrease from 48,880 to 40,000
- Replacement of Showmobile decrease from 100,850 to 80,000
- Parking Lot Improvements – Phase IIB increase 20,000 (this was a Defer item)
