\"This just gives them the authorization to deal directly with vendors and the contractors,\" Mayor Pereira said, noting Savino also administers the village’s Community Development Block Grant program, which is used for storefront façades and residential rehabilitation.

Under the authorization, village staff will seek to select two trade professionals for each of three categories: sign makers, electricians and an awning company. The motion authorizes drafting contracts to engage both a primary and a secondary contractor in each category, consistent with the rankings by Savino and staff.

Trustee Casado moved the motion and Deputy Mayor Sartorius seconded; the board approved the resolution unanimously.

Officials said the authority will streamline contracting related to façade improvements funded under CDBG and similar local programs; no contract awards were announced at the meeting and staff said they will return procurement documents as required by village procurement rules.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 21, 2025 Work Session/Public Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Board of Trustees authorized Tom Savino, the village community development coordinator, to draft contracts and pursue engagement with trade professionals who responded to the village’s recent request for proposals for façade improvement work.","taxTitle","Mineola, Nassau County, New York","taxId",68508,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6226814,"Resident raises speeding concerns on Marcellus; village outlines short‑ and long‑term traffic‑calming steps",205,1135000,1340000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3503846-7744be03d2058db80f90f51d218209ca&start=1135&end=1340","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3503846-7744be03d2058db80f90f51d218209ca/thumbnail_1135000.jpg","/articles/6226814/Mineola/Nassau-County/New-York/Resident-raises-speeding-concerns-on-Marcellus-village-outlines-short-and-longterm-trafficcalming-steps","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6226814-042ebaa3fd0a73e87f801bd5c9b290b7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161353&Signature=THrPBC09YpEkCGirNIcw0NKsZYmL8hZ1zhDbpNzuzgr6MBcNTCZwFDZyuXchpsA2UeANI4VV4RMLU3PcJeJI6CKP~cRo7voMHqKWgJdylVDxHc2ZWa94ZUsjOy9gsAGyo~u3lsyAeK1T2ohlbiGTUQI9zZdoF-zESJJQHoZJIX9-w-PL447QwVkte~D-upWkg2eKIc0QB2h4LyhL5qRFrchFFgHdqlfCCReCmk25TUruKRcZizr2G-KQDcnpmPn3lATqwhZyt7MAVqoiLTsYAHDvEIOXXJ~T7t63Izd-d7Fjc14lGruXD-mtJxxP1S41QuV1OxBe5gfNgJUCmxHDsQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Steve Kaufmann, a resident of 465 Marcellus, told the Board of Trustees he continues to see cars run the stop sign and speed on Marcellus and asked whether the village would consider speed bumps, speed‑limit signs and \"children at play\" warnings.

\"I'd like to know, about your further discussions, perhaps, on speed bumps or other measures,\" Kaufmann said during public comment.

Mayor Pereira responded that village engineers are reviewing all village streets and will return recommendations for traffic‑calming where appropriate. In the short term, she said, the village would deploy a portable radar speed sign (one of two currently in use) and ask the police department to increase enforcement in the area.

\"We will take the measures that we can take right now until we can find a more permanent and lasting solution that is safe, makes sense, is appropriate,\" Mayor Pereira said, noting one short‑term device is battery powered and will be made operational when batteries are replaced.

Mayor Pereira said the village engineers, identified as D and B in the meeting, will evaluate where speed tables, humps, markings or other measures would fit and that temporary rubber units that can be removed for winter plowing are another option the village is considering.

Kaufmann also suggested collecting traffic and speed data using recorder devices; village officials said traffic studies are costly and the village seeks to “piggyback” on studies performed for developers or other projects where possible, but they did not rule out data collection where warranted.

The board did not take a formal binding action on the street; officials described pending evaluations and short‑term deployments and said they would follow up with the resident.","A Marcellus Street resident urged the village to act on speeding and stop‑sign runs; officials described immediate measures — portable radar sign and increased police checks — and said engineers will evaluate longer‑term traffic‑calming such as speed tables and temporary rubber humps.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6226819,"Mineola wins New York Forward funds for Second Street improvements, murals and streetscape",129,704000,833000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3503846-7744be03d2058db80f90f51d218209ca&start=704&end=833","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3503846-7744be03d2058db80f90f51d218209ca/thumbnail_704000.jpg","/articles/6226819/Mineola/Nassau-County/New-York/Mineola-wins-New-York-Forward-funds-for-Second-Street-improvements-murals-and-streetscape","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6226819-ef4a29cfb4f48c9cc76e70a2df62650a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161353&Signature=EspOP2iltfcM9yXdLcFmcTPzti-iDughmOxku1UsjJh2ijcGQdvsJKJpRJY2~lb~n3qc~8U6w7gsnhnxOW~I3jZZzLPD9wecDY5ayuAFLY9JkKUy5OZ-Jz5d8IG8XBrtL0Hf9FK5GXLc83M4L-uLZ9nRHqrQNrzQsBe7MA7kVWSuDc~ZdZ~mgXw3zcCGcfvAumorVLiymMo7zvyFj5qotvj3ZfwKub1aVr4cV99Ejj3o~H3hG04AYr22NmaY4BDyNXhsg0h25NHKFBFfWoBDKxJyxBJhFhmn70EYqPEjgkSAZJk636ZFbenCTL-zVb85Nk2msmm7Gkv7-7mVuwoZPQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mayor Pereira said the Village of Mineola learned this week that several of the projects it submitted to the New York Forward program were approved, including the Second Street improvement project, a walkability and connectivity link between Station Plaza North and Second Street, a public mural by Davenport Press, and lighting, streetscape and wayfinding improvements.

The grants cover public projects that Mineola officials said were included in a larger slate of public and private proposals the village submitted. \"We then, in December, submitted a list of projects ... Obviously, we only got awarded $4,500,000 but we purposely sent up more,\" Mayor Pereira said.

Why it matters: the mayor said approved public projects will move into engineering, requests for proposals and construction planning. \"From when we got the money to when this is done, it probably will be, you know, 4 to 5 years. So we're looking at 2 to 3 years from now,\" Mayor Pereira said, describing the multi‑year nature of design and build phases.

Officials described next steps as engineering and RFP processes. Mayor Pereira also said some private projects submitted by business owners and property owners were selected and some were not; she directed residents to the New York Forward press release for the full list of approved projects.

Deputy Mayor Sartorius urged residents to attend upcoming downtown events and said the grant award will help \"improv[e] our downtown even more.\" Mayor Pereira noted the village had held monthly public workshops during the application phase and that the list of projects submitted exceeded the eventual award amount.

The village did not provide a detailed project‑by‑project funding breakdown in the meeting; officials said engineering and procurement work will follow the grant award and that timelines will firm up as those steps proceed.

Officials said local press (Newsday) had contacted the village and that further public information will be posted as the village advances design and procurement.","The Village of Mineola was awarded New York Forward money that the mayor said will fund Second Street improvements, a Station Plaza–Second Street walkability project, a public mural and streetscape and wayfinding work; engineering and RFPs are next and the mayor said full buildout could take multiple years.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6226806,"Mineola trustees approve routine permits, standard workday filings and payments for 16 tax certiorari settlements",140,52000,192000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3503846-7744be03d2058db80f90f51d218209ca&start=52&end=192","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3503846-7744be03d2058db80f90f51d218209ca/thumbnail_52000.jpg","/articles/6226806/Mineola/Nassau-County/New-York/Mineola-trustees-approve-routine-permits-standard-workday-filings-and-payments-for-16-tax-certiorari-settlements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6226806-101e8afeebaae3c17cec03606ebb971d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161353&Signature=RKS4vYJ3Pl2JRZI8ZYsm8N6DfZnKCYyHeLF8JQ417ZZGlRqme3lYULCfL2OZerXpLvc3s1C69KbbFEEsaBe3VPOSOfHTsJhcCj7qMb69X8ppTUmNGkJX-t44R3bWmGlfX6QdIYgE0xP118aWMPfzQ0moGFJsi9hBwOLxVmKS6w4ZsRCxip6s6zPTEFIsUOmEtq~1427iNZ5nzWhxPoMKIlvpd7vOWdyLqrrp26Bu76F~97JEYDZHnHKjVkPVrpegov49QeGsFP7Q-Iaa0g9hNyDXeh6UwRLcTNMKWjHktXCESWGu856RGIBrYEPNU8rys8zCtR8GB4KhZHjZpxSltw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Trustees approved a number of routine administrative items at its May meeting, including bills and payroll, seasonal permits, personnel postings and settlement payments.

Trustees approved a one‑season permit for an ice‑cream truck to operate on village streets from May 22 through Nov. 30 between noon and 8:30 p.m. or dusk, whichever is earlier; the permit was granted to Craig Zoli, a franchisor of Mr. Softee ice cream. The motion to approve was moved by Trustee Casado and seconded by Deputy Mayor Sartorius and carried unanimously.

The board also adopted the village’s standard workdays and reporting requirements for certain elected and appointed officials, a state annual requirement, and authorized the Clerk of the Justice Court to attend the New York State Association of Magistrates Court Clerks annual training conference Sept. 28–Oct. 1, 2025, in Albany.

On personnel and operations, trustees authorized entering into hourly security services contracts to provide security at the John S. Devanzo pool, Wilson Park and Memorial Park starting with the pool season (officials said pool opening is scheduled in the coming weeks). Funding sources cited in the discussion included the pool fund and the general fund unreserved balances for fiscal 2025–26. Trustees also approved posting two positions in the Department of Public Works sanitation division — a labor supervisor and a laborer — to bring staffing to previously held levels.

Village counsel or staff (Mr. Gibbons) presented a resolution to approve payment for 16 settled 2024–25 tax certiorari cases; the board approved the payments and staff said the settlement chart will be available in the clerk’s office for public review.

Trustees acknowledged Elizabeth Bernard, the court clerk, who was recognized by the Nassau County Magistrates Association as Court Clerk of the Year and will be honored June 5. The board also closed the work session and moved into the public meeting without further substantive changes to the items described.

All motions referenced in these items were moved and seconded and carried, as recorded in the meeting minutes.","At the May meeting, trustees approved payroll and bills, an ice‑cream truck permit for the season, standard workday reporting for elected and appointed officials, authorization for pool and park security services, job postings for Department of Public Works sanitation roles, and payment of 16 settled tax certiorari cases.","actionData","errors"]
