The Town of Niagara Town Board kept it simple at its regular meeting Tuesday, Jan. 19, quickly polishing off an agenda of routine items.

The only person in the audience was the Tribune reporter.

Led by Deputy Supervisor Robert Herman, the board:

•Approved the $31,405 purchase of a LiveScan fingerprint-scanning unit for the police department, using a state Division of Criminal Justice Services grant.

•Approved a $6,232 purchase order for liquid sodium and calcium chloride, and a $40,907 purchase order for road salt. Both purchases are used for keeping roads clear and safe in winter weather.

•Appointed Anthony F. Rosati to the Town of Niagara Environmental Commission, and Michael Goodlander and James Kramp to the Oakwood Cemetery Board of Trustees.

•Renewed the contract with Stefik Realty for one year for the sale of town-owned property on Young Street (an old park behind the Jetport restaurant).

•Approved the $5,000 annual agreement between the town and Niagara Community Action Program.
