The Mineola Board of Trustees convened on May 21, 2025, to discuss several key initiatives that will directly impact the community. Among the notable decisions was the approval of a permit for an ice cream truck to operate on public streets from May 22 through November 30, 2025. This seasonal service will be available daily from noon until dusk, bringing a sweet treat to residents just in time for summer.

In addition to the ice cream truck permit, the board recognized Elizabeth Bernard, the village's court clerk, who was honored as the Nassau County Magistrates Association's Court Clerk of the Year. She will receive this accolade at a ceremony on June 5, highlighting her exceptional service to the village.

The meeting also addressed the authorization for the Clerk of the Justice Court to attend the New York State Association of Magistrates Court Clerks annual training conference in Albany later this year. This training is essential for maintaining the high standards of service expected in the justice system.

Furthermore, the board approved a resolution to engage facade improvement trade professionals as part of the community development efforts. This initiative aims to enhance the visual appeal of local storefronts and residential properties, contributing to the overall revitalization of the village.

Lastly, the board discussed the need for security services at local parks and the John S. Devanzo pool, with plans to hire a security firm to ensure safety during the upcoming summer season.

These decisions reflect the board's commitment to enhancing community services and safety, while also recognizing the hard work of local officials. As the village prepares for summer, residents can look forward to new opportunities for recreation and community engagement.
