This motion was seconded by Trustee Lockart. VOTE: Trustee Lockart YES Trustee Rubino YES Trustee White YES Deputy Mayor Sim YES Mayor Tobin ABSENT Motion passed. Deputy Mayor Sim explained that this expenditure would be for the continuation of the DPW’s water project. All water meters were last replaced approximately 12 to 13 years ago, and many of them are beginning to fail. The new system includes 3 towers that will be set up, with two already set up near Cook Park and Sunset Boulevard. This technology would allow Village Hall staff and members of the DPW to conduct water meter readings right from the office. The reports produced by the software are also much more detailed and provide a lot of helpful information. Last week, a training session was held with Village staff to learn how to use the program, and a seminar would be held for the Mayor and Board of Trustees as well. VOTE: Trustee Lockart YES Trustee Rubino YES Trustee White YES Deputy Mayor Sim YES Mayor Tobin ABSENT Motion passed. Trustee White made a motion to close the public hearing. Trustee Lockart seconded this motion. VOTE: All in favor. Public hearing adjourned at 6:33 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Hannah Curran Administrative Assistant Village of Colonie
