Development News from the latest meeting
Town of Somers, N.Y. Town Board Meeting July 9, 2026
Published: Jul 9, 2026
Somers Ratifies Terrorism Insurance Coverage Agreements
The Town Board ratified the supervisor's signature on policyholder disclosures for terrorism insurance coverage with Berkeley National Insurance Company and Pennsylvania Manufacturers Indemnity Company. These policies cover the period from July 1st, 2026, to June 30th, 2027, as detailed in emails from the Director of Finance.
Somers Police Department Gains July 4th as Designated Holiday
The Town Board approved a request to designate July 4th as a permanent holiday for the police department, replacing their existing floating holiday. This change aims to provide scheduling consistency for the police force, ensuring that July 4th, or the town's Independence Day celebration day, is always recognized as a holiday for officers, without increasing the total number of paid holidays.
Somers to Consider Standardizing Fire Hydrant Color Coding
The Town Board discussed and moved to schedule a public hearing for August 6th regarding a proposed local law to adopt and codify the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard for hydrant color coding. This standard correlates hydrant colors with water pressure and flow rates (GPM), aiming to provide firefighters, especially mutual aid companies, with immediate information on hydrant usability. The law would standardize color-coding across town, ensuring consistency regardless of water purveyor changes.
Somers Library HVAC Replacement Project Moves to Bid Phase for Engineering Services
The Town Board authorized seeking bids for engineering services for the replacement of the Somers Library HVAC system. This follows initial design work completed last fall by OLA. The new phase requires detailed construction documents, engineering, administration, and commissioning tasks.
Somers Moves Forward with Water District to Combat PFAS in Business Area
The Town Board discussed the formation of Somers Water District Number Two, a project aimed at addressing PFAS contamination in the Business Historic Preservation District (BHP). The proposed district will serve 17 commercial properties with a new water main, funded by secured capital costs, ensuring no debt burden on individual properties. While properties will be required to connect, the project's primary driver is water quality, with an added benefit of providing fire protection to the district, which currently lacks it. Residential properties are not included in this initial phase but could be added later. A public hearing is scheduled for August 6th.
