Town Board of New Castle Work Session & Meeting 9/8/26

The Town Board of New Castle held a work session and meeting on September 8, 2026, where several procurement and capital improvement projects were discussed. Key updates included the completion of the Route 117 culvert replacement project, ongoing planning for the Joan Corwin Way sewer relief project, and progress on the Route 120 pedestrian walkway and duck pond bridge project. The board authorized the auction of surplus equipment including a SCAG mower and a 2012 Chevy Colorado pickup, and approved the purchase and installation of an upgraded Verata camera system for police and town hall, including new high-resolution LPR cameras at the train station. Additionally, the board approved a shared services agreement with Westchester County for cybersecurity endpoint protection, which will reduce current costs. The meeting also included approval of payment claims totaling over $960,000, acceptance of a resignation in the parks department, and renewal of the town's crime insurance policy. A six-month extension of the solar energy systems moratorium was adopted to allow more time for drafting related legislation. Several community and infrastructure projects were highlighted, but no new contract awards or RFPs were announced during this session.
