In a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 75 to confirm an arbitration award dated August 25, 1998, the Incorporated Village of Valley Stream appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Alpert, J.), dated June 23, 1999, which granted the petition and denied its cross petition to vacate the award.
McKenna Schneier, Valley Stream, N.Y. (Patrick Michael McKenna of counsel), for appellant.
Wolin Wolin, Jericho, N.Y. (Alan E. Wolin of counsel), for respondent.
Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., SONDRA MILLER, WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, ANITA R. FLORIO, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
Contrary to the appellant's contention, the arbitration award did not violate a strong public policy, was not irrational, and did not clearly exceed a specifically enumerated limitation on the arbitrator's power (see, Matter of Board of Educ. of Arlington Cent. School Dist. v. Arlington Teachers Assn., 78 N.Y.2d 33, 37; Matter of Town of Callicoon [Civil Serv. Employees Assn.], Town of Callicoon Unit, 70 N.Y.2d 907; Matter of Meehan v. Nassau Community Coll., 251 A.D.2d 415). Thus, the Supreme Court properly granted the motion to confirm the award.
The appellant's remaining contentions are without merit.
