The Village of Roslyn Estates Board of Trustees approved a $1.9 million budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year during its meeting Monday, April 20.

A public hearing was held on the 2026-27 budget, which totals $1,901,574 and reflects a 1.58% increase from the previous year’s $1,872,075 budget.

Village Clerk-Treasurer John Giordano said the spending plan remains within New York State’s 2% property tax cap. The tax levy was set at $1,331,845.37, an increase of roughly $26,100 from the prior year. No members of the public commented during the hearing.

In a separate action, trustees approved the purchase of a police radar speed detection device following prior discussion about traffic enforcement efforts in the village.

At the March 16 meeting, Mayor Adam Koblenz said the village intended to acquire the radar unit for use by the Nassau County Police Department as part of efforts to address speeding and stop sign violations. Koblenz said village officials had discussed the proposal with Sixth Precinct leadership and Nassau County officials and the device would be housed locally for use during patrols.

Officials previously estimated the cost at about $3,000 under a state contract and said they were exploring potential reimbursement through a state legislator. Trustees also discussed broader public safety measures, including providing space at Village Hall to support increased police presence.

At that prior meeting, some trustees raised questions about how frequently the equipment would be used and training requirements before the board tabled the vote. The measure was later approved at Monday’s meeting.

The meeting began with the village’s annual organizational session, during which Trustees Brian Feingold and Stephen Fox were sworn in following their election in March. Feingold was also reappointed deputy mayor.

Trustees approved a series of annual reappointments, including village personnel, professional service providers such as legal counsel and engineering firms, and key administrative policies. Officials also reaffirmed the village’s investment and procurement policies and designated official banking institutions.
