[0:06] And welcome everyone to our August Town
Board meeting and I'd ask everyone to
[0:10] please stand for the Pledge of
Allegiance
[0:13] to be led by
Brett Hemingway
[0:17] from our foreign trade zone.
>> I pledge allegiance to the flag
[0:22] of the United States of America and to
the republic for which it stands, one
[0:27] nation under God, indivisible, with
liberty and justice for all.
[0:34] » Thank you.
[0:37] So we are kind of excited this afternoon
and pleased to recognize some
[0:44] outstanding individuals
whose achievements in service reflect
[0:48] the very best of our community.
And we'd like to honor three members of
[0:53] the United States Navy
who recently represented the town of
[0:58] Islip during the FIFA World Cup
ceremony.
[1:02] And that's Navy Counselor First Class
Cole Sweet Sweeter
[1:06] Sweetster, I'm sorry. Come forward,
please.
[1:09] Hospital Corpsman First Class Andrew
Piazza. You notice I'm better with the
[1:13] Italian names.
And Staff Sergeant Dylan Garcia.
[1:30] It really is an honor to acknowledge
their participation in such a
[1:34] significant international event and that
they were standing there representing
[1:38] our town of Islip as well as
representing our country.
[1:41] And more importantly, I think each and
every one of people this room today are
[1:45] going to join me
and thank them for their continued
[1:49] dedication and service to our country.
God bless you all, really.
[2:00] » Good morning, everyone.
[2:09] » My pleasure, sir.
[2:13] » Thanks for your service.
[2:19] » [laughter]
[2:51] » And we have a few brief announcements
before we begin. Our Our Islip Summer
[2:55] Fun Series is wrapping up with the free
movie nights each Monday and concerts in
[3:00] the park every Wednesday.
The Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band Free
[3:04] Bird will be performing at Bay Shore at
the marina tomorrow night starting at
[3:08] 7:00 and two more movies, Daddy Day Camp
and a Minecraft movie, are scheduled for
[3:14] August 17th and 24th.
The month of August also marks NBC
[3:20] Universal's month-long Clear the
Shelters campaign.
[3:24] It's a cause that uh our animal shelter
participates in every year.
[3:30] And during the month,
the shelter is offering reduced
[3:34] adoption fees for all animals. So, we
encourage anyone considering a pet to
[3:39] visit the Islip Animal Shelter not just
in you know, this particular month, but
[3:44] anytime really.
And lastly, we would just ask everyone
[3:48] not to forget our back to school supply
drive.
[3:52] Items can donated either here
at Town Hall or on the first floor lobby
[3:57] at 401 Main Street.
And a list of supplies needed, the
[4:01] traditional
pencils, crayons, notebooks, etc. can be
[4:05] found on our website. So, with that, we
thank you very much and we will get to
[4:09] our meeting.
[4:47] » All right, we will begin
>> our meeting's afternoon with these
[4:50] » scheduled public hearings.
[5:06] We have four scheduled public hearings
for the board's consideration this
[5:10] afternoon and I would ask the clerk to

[7:36] public hearings and uh we will now move
to the public portion. We do have a
[7:41] number of people who have signed up to
speak. Just to remind everyone, you have
[7:44] 3 minutes. This is your time to bring
forward any considerations, concerns,
[7:51] uh that you'd like to bring to the
board's attention. It is not a question
[7:55] and answer period, but if you do have a
specific concern, most of the
[7:58] commissioners are here and can meet you
in the hall to address your
[8:02] problems. Uh the first speaker,
Dale Luongo.
[8:08] And again, it's 3 minutes. The
timer's right up there.
[8:12] Yes, right to the podium, please. Thank
you.
[8:20] » Hi, my name is Dale Luongo. I live here
uh
[8:24] my whole life in uh
Town of Islip with my husband, Anthony.
[8:28] Um lifelong residents. We live on 47
Shore Lane and um
[8:33] in Bay Shore. And um this is about the
parking policy on our street. Um
[8:41] what's happening right now is that
because we live on a street that is
[8:44] adjacent to the Fire Island ferries and
users of the ferries try to avoid the
[8:50] paid parking, it has become necessary to
implement policies that restrict the
[8:54] parking on that street. Uh otherwise,
our streets would be completely
[8:58] dominated by those trying to utilize
that area for the ferries.
[9:03] And um
[9:07] our street is restricted right now to
2-hour parking, no overnight parking.
[9:13] And this policy protects our privileges
to park in front of our homes and in on
[9:20] our own street as well as any guests who
visit the homeowner or the resident.
[9:25] This policy, which protects the
homeowner, on the flip side is
[9:29] penalizing the homeowners on my street
when they inadvertently
[9:34] park over 2 hours or a guest does.
Uh as much as we try to comply with
[9:40] these burden- burdensome rules, in
reality, we receive tickets, as well as
[9:45] the ferry patrons, and I am sure that
was never the intent of the rules.
[9:50] Uh a workaround needs to be thought
through to prevent these incidents. When
[9:54] I called the parking violations
department to discuss recent tickets
[9:58] that my guests and a cousin who lives
with us incurred, I was told that many
[10:03] streets, about 10 to 15 of like Ocean
Avenue, have a pass policy in place
[10:09] already, and that our street did not.
And uh the man I spoke to didn't know
[10:13] why. Perhaps our street was overlooked.
I would say this policy, uh if it was
[10:19] extended to our street,
it would be the start to a solution, but
[10:23] would that would add that I would add
that a reusable windshield pass,
[10:27] something like that, um available for
our guests, would also be useful. As it
[10:33] is now, guests must keep track of their
time, then they disengage from their
[10:37] visit, then they have to go move their
cars, shuffle them around, and play a
[10:41] kind of a game to to keep from getting a
ticket. And uh usually it works, but
[10:47] sometimes it doesn't. And when it
doesn't, I'm the one that's very
[10:50] embarrassed that my guest got a ticket,
and that I'm the one that pays it uh
[10:55] eventually. And um the security man who
writes the tickets said that we should
[11:00] write a note, leave it in our dashboard,
but I just think a more formal version
[11:05] of that idea would be more reliable. Um
you know, I I value our uh community. I
[11:12] I support the parking management that
has been put forth, but enforcement of
[11:18] that present policy, as it stands, I
feel it's unfair and um and overly
[11:24] punitive to the people that live on that
street and and pay taxes.
[11:29] Thanks.
>> All right, thank you very much, Dale. Um
[11:31] since you mentioned that there seems to
be other streets that have a policy that
[11:35] would permit
residents to be parking there.
[11:39] I'll we'll certainly look into it and
we'll get back to you.
[11:42] » Thank you so much. You want this or?
>> Sure, you can give it to the gentleman
[11:47] there and he'll hand it over. Thank you.
Next speaker Stephanie Volpe.
[11:54] » You're right if the next person could
speak together. We're on the same issue.
[11:58] » Um
Probably not. Why don't you just each
[12:01] come up individually?
>> Madam supervisor and the board, thank
[12:06] you for this opportunity. I just lost my
thing. Hold on.
[12:11] Trying to zoom it in and I uh
Okay, I'm
[12:16] Stephanie Volpe,
92 Glen Mere Way in Holbrook.
[12:20] I know we're really early on this issue,
but I wanted to call it to attention of
[12:24] the board.
It's about the Amazon proposed building,
[12:29] the 4.2 million square foot warehouse
they want to put in Holbrook.
[12:34] It's not about being anti-Amazon. It's
about the scope and scale of this
[12:39] property that we're concerned about. Um
it's not zoned for this use, so when it
[12:43] does come in front of the board, we'd
appreciate a vote no on the zone change.
[12:48] Um it's to protect the residential
neighborhoods. Traffic's already a
[12:52] nightmare with the current Amazon and
SunVet Mall traffic with the normal
[12:57] Broadway Avenue
um traffic. So, that would just be
[13:02] made
tremendously worse.
[13:05] Um
we need an independent comprehensive
[13:08] traffic analysis as long as well as an
environmental study for the area since
[13:13] it drains into the Sanssouci watershed.
Public safety must come first with the
[13:19] traffic. It comes um
car accidents.
[13:23] Um it does look like from the renderings
that we pulled from online, they want to
[13:27] reopen Church Street.
And Church Street, I don't know if you
[13:30] remember, was closed down because of how
deadly it was to pedestrians,
[13:34] specifically children that were crossing
over to the SunVet Mall.
[13:38] Um
groundwater, stormwater must be
[13:41] protected. We live on Long Island and we
already have concerns with water,
[13:45] especially in that area, since part of
it was already a superfund site that had
[13:49] to be cleaned up from the '80s.
Um noise, light pollution, air quality.
[13:56] We
uh question whether or not the promised
[13:59] benefits from Amazon would value what
would happen to the community and to the
[14:05] nature that would get destroyed. Um we
oppose taxpayer-funded incentives and
[14:10] abatements for the project. We think
Amazon can afford, if they were to build
[14:15] here, to build without tax abatement tax
uh
[14:19] discounts and abatements.
Um
[14:22] we would ask for full transparency. We
found out about this through Newsday. Um
[14:28] with repeated discussions with local
elected officials,
[14:32] um with concerns about this property for
the past 15 years. So, um
[14:37] finding out by Newsday was kind of hard
to hear.
[14:41] Um a town does not have to improve or
develop upon every single
[14:47] empty property, especially with all the
um
[14:51] » [clears throat]
>> warehouses that already exist,
[14:53] especially ones that are empty. So,
I would be asked on behalf of my
[14:58] community if we look long and hard and
reject this when it does come in front
[15:03] of you. Thanks.
>> Thank you. Next speaker, Jim Kiernan.
[15:09] » Madam Supervisor, members of the board,
uh I I'm not going to stand here and
[15:14] repeat everything she said, but
>> Thank you.
[15:16] » she she really uh hit on all the points.
I I think really why we're here tonight
[15:21] is just to introduce ourselves to the
board because there is a a huge huge
[15:27] group movement coming to oppose this
project. So, this is at the very initial
[15:33] stage. There was over 200 people at the
firehouse last night showing their
[15:38] opposition. So, really what we're trying
to do is just let you know this is
[15:43] coming. [clears throat] This is a big
wave coming and that
[15:47] everything is done
above board and transparent. We met
[15:51] somebody we met a couple of individuals
today from the IDA and also from the
[15:56] planning board
and they were terrific. I mean, they
[15:59] they let it they gave us the
the step-by-step how this process goes.
[16:05] I mean, we're all kind of rookies at
this. We're just community members just
[16:09] trying to do the right thing. I've been
in Holbrook a lot of years as you could
[16:13] tell by just looking at me. This is a
bad idea. It really is a bad idea. So,
[16:19] thank you for your time.
>> Thank you, Jim.
[16:22] I
glad you said what you said and rest
[16:25] assured there is a process that has to
take place with any application,
[16:29] especially one like this.
And it will be done with the utmost
[16:34] transparency.
Next speaker, Gary McDonald.
[16:47] » Yes, ma'am. I don't I don't know if this
has anything to do with what you're
[16:49] talking about right now. I came to speak
at the contract screening
[16:53] » Would you please speak right into the
microphone, please? Thank you.
[16:56] » I came to speak about the contract
screening bids
[17:00] which I heard was supposed to be awarded
today.
[17:04] » Well, not right here, but go ahead.
>> Okay.
[17:08] I've been I'm from Lakeland Avenue
Landscaping Supply. We've been screening
[17:12] compost for the town of Islip for over
20 years.
[17:16] Uh as of this year we were notified that
we weren't going to
[17:22] receive this lower bid going forward.
We are we were the lowest bidder by far
[17:29] on the contract. We own the equipment
necessary to do the job.
[17:34] We had an issue this spring where
breakdown and getting parts for machine
[17:38] put us a little behind.
And then we weren't ready as normally as
[17:42] early as we should have been.
We outproduce anybody out on the island.
[17:47] We have the only two
real large screening plants that are
[17:52] tuned just for compost.
We screened 31,725
[17:57] yd of compost in 6 weeks.
Never been done before.
[18:03] The person next in line
on the compost bid is 45% to 76% higher
[18:12] than we are.
Our rates from last year to this year
[18:16] only went up 14%
to cover the increase in cost and fuel
[18:21] and things of that nature.
Really don't Really don't think it's
[18:25] fair to us or to the taxpayers
to have to pay this increase
[18:31] cost in screening the product when it
it's hard enough on people to pay their
[18:36] bills now.
We uh
[18:39] we
find it hard to believe that uh
[18:44] another company that's going to screen
the same same amount of material for the
[18:48] same money would be almost 45% higher
than what we are.
[18:54] So,
what I uh
[18:57] the other thing I find is
that nobody, including this next company
[19:02] in line, owns equipment that meets the
bid process of 100 yd an hour. We do.
[19:09] We have the machines. Their machines
cannot.
[19:12] Our mechanic and their mechanic are the
same people. We We know this for sure.
[19:18] We uh
even offered the town when we were
[19:21] screening it to try to help them get
caught up.
[19:24] To screen in advance and take a deferred
payment the following year if that's
[19:29] what they needed to help get out from
under the bind they were in.
[19:32] Which they said they couldn't do.
It's okay.
[19:35] The next problem is DEC is looking to
cut the size of the piles at compost
[19:41] facility by 50% by early 2028.
Which means a lot of material has to be
[19:47] screened and moved.
And to move all that extra material and
[19:52] an extra increase of 45 to 75 cent
I truly believe would be a unfair burden
[19:58] to the taxpayer.
>> Thank you, Mr. McDonald. I would just
[20:01] ask, what is the name of your company?
>> Lakeland Avenue Landscape Supply.
[20:06] And like I said,
>> Lakeland Avenue Landscape Supply.
[20:11] And like I said, we've been screening
the compost here for 20 years.
[20:14] » you.
>> Thank you.
[20:16] » Uh next speaker, Joseph Nicoletti.
[20:31] » [snorts]
>> Madam Supervisor Board
[20:34] respectively.
I represent uh
[20:39] the former owner at 261 South Seneca
Road Avenue, Bayport.
[20:44] Last year
uh they had come in
[20:49] with the same thing, a resolution
and
[20:53] took a lot of my boats, trailers, things
that were
[20:58] worth a lot of money because they
weren't registered. Um
[21:03] this all happened because it was put
through
[21:06] Fifth District and Supreme Court
simultaneously.
[21:10] Um
[21:13] the Supreme Court ruled first. They
hired private counsel.
[21:18] Um
anyone I talked to about this, different
[21:22] attorneys, there's no precedent for what
happened. And now they have
[21:28] a hearing today about taking
um my truck and the trailer, which is
[21:34] all I have left there. It's a work
trailer.
[21:36] The truck is a Hummer H1.
Neither of these things are eyesores.
[21:41] Um
[21:44] basically the other part of it
is the overgrowth of grass. The property
[21:51] was wetlands to begin with. Wouldn't be
built on today, but when they came in to
[21:56] do the cleanup
um
[22:00] they basically sunk into the ground
because there's water aquifers
[22:06] in different areas on the ground.
>> [clears throat]
[22:09] » Some of it is 4 ft down, some of it is
like 2 ft. Anyway, they got two of their
[22:13] biggest machines stuck.
And they had to get outside help
[22:19] to even release the machines because
they were suctioned to the mud.
[22:23] And any point it made huge ruts in the
property. They said they would come back
[22:29] and grade it.
Um they never did. I called
[22:35] tried to inquire about it.
Nothing. They never came back.
[22:39] The new owner of the house
also sent landscaping
[22:45] uh
company, two of them, over there.
[22:50] And they tried to do what they could,
but they had no machines that could go
[22:55] over these giant ruts that were made,
which was all over the property. It's a
[22:59] corner lot, 1 acre.
At any rate, those conditions right now
[23:06] are basically the result of
uh
[23:10] the last resolution
that became and did what they did. I
[23:14] mean,
it was a pretty
[23:17] pretty bad hack job.
And it created more problems than
[23:21] solved.
Uh they took away
[23:26] I mean, I have pictures of everything,
but really nice boats and things that I
[23:29] had there. At any rate, they never gave
me one piece of paperwork, nothing,
[23:32] nothing even written on a card.
Is that my time?
[23:37] » Yep. That's it, sir.
>> That's it?
[23:40] » If you have something you want to
submit, by all means do, okay? If you
[23:43] weren't able to finish in time. Thank
you.
[23:46] » Uh-huh.
Okay.
[23:50] » All right, we have no other comments for
the public portion. I'll entertain a
[23:53] motion to close public portion.
>> Motion.
[23:56] » Motion and a second.
Um
[23:59] the public portion is closed, and we
will now move to the agenda.
[24:04] » [clears throat]
[24:11] » Okay, the first item on the agenda is
the meeting of the Town of Islip
[24:14] Industrial Development Agency. Motion to
convene.
