c.     Memorandum from Chief of Police John Nikitopoulos regarding the new police patch designfor the Croton-on-Hudson Police Department.  As called for in Action #14 of the recentlyapproved Police Reform Plan, the Department has spent considerable time in evaluating potentialnew patch designs and have reached agreement on a design which features the American eagle.

PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS:

1. Consider adoption of a resolution which rejects bigotry, ignorance and hate, in all of its forms.   This resolution is in response to the recent escalating verbal abuse and vicious, physical assaults on the Asian American and Pacific Islander community.  It encompasses all targeted, victimized and scapegoated populations.
2. Consider authorizing the Village Manager to execute a renewal agreement with SeamlessDocs of New York, New York, for the hosting of online Village forms for the period of June 1, 2021, through May 31, 2022, at a cost of $3,300.   SeamlessDocs provides the support for forms and payments for the Village’s Recreation, Treasurer and Village Clerk Offices.
