The Port Washington North Board of Trustees convened for a very brief meeting on Thursday to authorize village Clerk Palma Torrisi to seek streetlight maintenance bids.

Torrisi will get three quotes for the maintenance contract, which is about to expire. The current provider of streetlight maintenance in the village is Ankers Electric, which was paid $29,711.68 between June 2017 and May 2018.

“We are not dissatisfied with [Ankers]. The contract is up so we’re getting something new,” she said.

The authorization of a search for bids was the only item on the agenda at Thursday’s special meeting. The meeting was held because the authorization was not approved at the trustees’ Aug. 15 meeting.

Torrisi said the bids would be in by noon on Sept. 25.
