           1.         Notification the West Harrison Fire Chief Steven Mancini is requesting a total of $23,551 be transferred from Fire District #1 Fund Balance to Account #010-3410-100-0401.  This transfer is necessary for mandated repairs to Class A Burn Rooms located at the Nike Base Fire Training Center.  Said repairs will exceed NFPA recommendations. Request by the Comptroller to approve a budget modification for Fire District #1 in the amount of $23,551.

            2.         Notification by Comptroller Maureen MacKenzie that Municipalities in New York State are now allowed to purchase items and to contract for service’s through the use of contracts let by the United States or any agency thereof, any state or any other political subdivision or district therein. In the past, we were only allowed to purchase off of a NYS contract.  If there was no NYS contract and the amount of the purchase or service contract exceeded our purchasing threshold, we would have to go out to bid, which is both costly and time consuming.  Request for approval for our registration with National IPA and US Communities.
