Published: Jul 8, 2026
Brighton Town Board Approves Multiple Capital Budgets, Fleet Leases, and Financial Resolutions
The Brighton Town Board approved various financial resolutions. These included receiving and filing correspondence, approving the agenda, and authorizing the supervisor to enter into a lease agreement with Enterprise Fleet Management for a 2027 Ford Explorer for the Department of Public Works. Capital budgets were approved for the highway department's plow truck and backhoe loader purchase ($540,000) and the sewer district's dump truck purchase ($290,000), both linked to a previous bond resolution. The Clover Street Sidewalk project capital budget of $155,000 was also approved. Finally, the board approved the creation of a capital budget for the highway department's plow truck and backhoe loader purchase. The board also approved a resolution for the standard workday and reporting for elected and appointed officials, connected to the state retirement system.
St. John's Receives Approval for Larger Sign Under Incentive Zoning Amendment
The Brighton Town Board held a public hearing on an amendment to the incentive zoning approval for Brickstone at St. John's, allowing for a larger sign. The applicant, Tony Zeclino of St. John's, requested an extra five square feet for the sign to ensure visibility, especially if set back further from the road as suggested by the Architectural Review Board (ARB). The ARB also suggested a different placement. St. John's argued that a slightly larger sign with a setback is crucial for driver reaction time. The board discussed the proposed increase and the ARB's comments, ultimately approving the resolution to amend the incentive zoning for the larger sign.
Brighton Town Board Addresses Playground Replacement Delays and Promises Community Input
The Brighton Town Board addressed concerns regarding the removal of the playground at Brighton Memorial Library and the delay in its replacement. A letter from community members, read by Kaya Kintrin, expressed frustration over the demolition before a replacement plan was finalized and the new site remaining empty, impacting local families. Supervisor Maley clarified that construction is ongoing and the playground removal was partly due to that and partly due to town-wide playground replacements. He assured that community input would be sought for the new playground's design and siting, with La Bella engineers contracted for the design work. Grant money has been secured for a new splash pad and pool renovation, all intended to be accessible. A timeline for the playground's completion is not yet finalized but is a priority.
Brighton Town Board Accepts $25,000 Anonymous Donation for Police Break Room
The Brighton Town Board discussed a $25,000 anonymous donation to the police department. Chief Cathaldi stated the donor wished to remain anonymous due to being a crime victim and to support the police department's health and wellness initiatives, specifically for creating a new break room. Councilmember Werner and Supervisor Maley voiced support for accepting the donation, emphasizing respect for donor wishes and the positive impact on police officers. The board voted to accept the donation and amend the budget accordingly.
