HIGHLAND — The Town of Highland is putting new financial controls in place as it continues rebuilding its constabulary, with the Town Board voting Tuesday to establish a dedicated bank account for the restored department.

Supervisor John Pizzolato said the separate account will allow the town to more closely track money coming into and going out of the constabulary as the department continues to take shape.

The town previously authorized a $240,000 bond package, spread over five years, to help pay for the department’s startup costs. Pizzolato said the town secured an interest rate of 3.8 percent through Greene County Commercial Bank.

The funding is expected to cover two new vehicles and their outfitting, among other expenses associated with restoring the department.

Interim Chief Jason Sarnoff has also obtained equipment from the New York State Police, while the town received a $10,000 grant that Pizzolato said will be used for body cameras and uniforms.

The department has also moved its office functions out of Sarnoff’s basement and into a work trailer located at the town courthouse.

The board approved establishing the account and also approved designated signers including Pizzolato, Deputy Supervisor Frank Monteleone and Sarnoff.

The town is rebuilding the constabulary after Highland voters supported bringing it back following its dissolution by a previous town board.

Pizzolato said vehicles and other equipment had been dispersed after the department was dissolved, requiring the town to rebuild much of the operation.

As the constabulary develops, town officials have said they intend to keep closer watch on its costs through the annual budget process.
