[0:33] All right, Danielle.
[0:45] » During that segment of the meeting, if you have a question or com
[0:51] Please state your name and limit your remarks to three minutes. Thank you for
[0:55] your anticipating. >> Thank you. Please rise for the pledge.
[1:03] » I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the
[1:08] republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and
[1:14] justice for all. And please remain standing for a moment of silence for all
[1:19] all those who gave their lives for us and our country so we can serve our
[1:25] state and our town.
[1:34] Thank you.
[1:41] All right. So, we got two public hearings tonight.
[1:45] Uh before we begin, I want to say u I want to thank the chief and uh Gary
[1:49] Lazerof and the school district. We have been uh teamed up with the school
[1:54] district to utilize a new uh video streaming system. Um we're streaming
[1:59] both right now just to make sure that they're streaming correctly. But the one
[2:03] that we're using now is live from YouTube. So if anybody wants to go on
[2:07] YouTube, if they can't make the meetings now, it'll be live on YouTube as we
[2:11] actually have the meetings. We hope. Right, Chief? That's what it should be
[2:15] doing right now. So, it's showing up on your phone and it's much clearer and the
[2:21] the volume and uh the voice is much clearer. So, uh we've been working on
[2:26] that. Um so, I just want to give you an update. All right. So, tonight the first
[2:31] public hearing is a creation of an ambulance district. Um anybody have any
[2:37] thoughts or questions about creating the ambulance district? Tonight's the night
[2:42] for the public hearing. And I thought the EMS got
[2:48] all right. I don't see anybody that has anything. So
[2:52] I need a motion to close the public hearing for creation of ambulance
[2:55] district. >> I make a motion to close the public
[2:58] hearing. >> I'll second that. All in favor?
[3:01] » I >> I so move. Thank you.
[3:05] All right. We have the public hearing tonight for the MS4 plan and reporting
[3:10] requirements. So, if anybody doesn't know what this is, this is one of those
[3:15] unfunded mandates that the state dropped down on municipalities
[3:19] um to fund all these MS4 uh districts. Um this is a public gathering of public
[3:26] comments for um tonight is for the MS4 planning reporting requirements. Uh
[3:31] gives the public opportunity to discuss questions and comments on storm water
[3:34] related issues within the town. um updating we we have to update the
[3:39] current storm water pollution prevention plan which is the swap plan. If anybody
[3:43] goes to planning board meetings they would know what the swap plan is. It's
[3:46] part of the new New York State DEEC regulations and we'll be completing the
[3:51] new plan around October. And then in November we also have to have another
[3:55] public hearing and that will discuss more plans on and uh more um things that
[4:00] we have to complete for the state. So this is a two-phase um public hearing.
[4:05] Tonight's the first one. Um, we have to do a lot of these updates are going to
[4:09] be one year, three years, and five years. So, there's a lot of requirements
[4:13] in place and it's unfortunately had to be put into our budget. This was like
[4:17] another unfunded mandate that's about a $20,000 hit to our budget that wasn't
[4:21] there last year. So, that's part of what we have to do. So, anybody anybody have
[4:25] any questions or concerns or comments on MS4 districts, storm water management,
[4:33] swap plans? A lot of this is planning board stuff, so a lot of people don't
[4:37] know this. Nothing. Okay. Uh, I need a motion then to close the public hearing
[4:43] on MS4 plan and reporting requirements. >> I'll make the motion to close the public
[4:48] hearing on the MS4 planning requirements.
[4:51] » Most sir, all in favor? >> I I so move. Thank you. All right. So,
[4:57] now we're going to get into our regular workshop meeting for the town on

[6:29] honor Jackie. Jackie is a
[6:34] Jackie's been intern meet me and Marorrow. She's a marketing assistant.
[6:39] Um and I think Ava's been also helping out. Right, Ava? And I'm gonna bring up
[6:45] their slideshow here. Let's see. Here it is.
[6:51] So you guys just come up to the mic and you could
[6:53] » just I want to just say >> and just tell me to say next.
[6:55] » We want to thank the town board for giving us this opportunity to share some
[6:59] of the amazing work being done by these two incredible young women. Meet me in
[7:03] Malro interns Jackie Rivera and Ava Tiscoco and for allowing us to kick off
[7:08] meet Malro's farmers and wineries presentation produced by Jackie Rivera.
[7:14] » Thank you. >> Thank you.
[7:18] » Thank you. All right. Next slide. Good evening. I'm Jackie Rivera, a
[7:24] secondyear marketing and international business student at Sunni Newalts and I
[7:28] have been the nonprofit marketing assistant intern for Meet Me and
[7:31] Marorrow since April 2026. Um, you could just do full screen.
[7:37] » I know >> for the presentation.
[7:39] » I don't know if it's doing it though. I think overnight with Google.
[7:41] » Uh anyways, throughout these months, I have had the opportunity to develop
[7:45] valuable skills and gain a new appreciation for farming that I intend
[7:48] to carry with me in college and beyond. Uh next slide. Perfect. My internship
[7:55] began by assisting Ava Teddiscoco, the other Meet Me and Marbor intern, with
[7:59] uploading various Tan of Marvel events onto the Meet Me and Marorrow's online
[8:05] calendar. During the Blossom Tree Fair back in May, I created a mini Instagram
[8:10] and Facebook story series highlighting its various events throughout the day,
[8:14] as well as featured vendors and Marbor small businesses. Next slide.
[8:19] Oh, sorry. Go back. I created an instructional tutorial
[8:24] highlighting the gift certificates available for the various small
[8:27] businesses in Meet Me and Marorrow. I also created a short form video
[8:32] promoting the participating members of the Tuscanyany of the Hudson Valley
[8:35] weekendl long event over the summer and plan to do more to help visitors
[8:39] navigate the website as they learn more about the various features. Okay, next
[8:43] slide. In June, Sheila asked me if I would be
[8:47] willing to interview various Marbor farmers and wine makers for a video
[8:51] interview series. Little did I know that this would completely change the way
[8:55] that I view my hometown for the better. Growing up, I never realized how
[9:00] historically significant my hometown was. I enjoyed where I lived because of
[9:04] the serenity and beauty, but I didn't fully appreciate Marorrow for what it
[9:08] truly is. I grew up regularly visiting farms like Devois Farms, even had a
[9:14] playd date at Trapanny Farms. And not pictured, I also filmed a Spanish class
[9:18] project at Benmar Winery during my senior year. But I never understood the
[9:23] hard work that farmers and wine makers over many generations have dedicated to
[9:27] make Marbor what it is today, the Tuscanyany of the Hudson Valley. Uh,
[9:32] next slide, please. I have been privileged to conduct 10 interviews so
[9:37] far and have gained a new appreciation for farming. First, I started off with
[9:42] Prospect Hill Orchards, then Quartz Rock Vineyard, then Stoutidge Distillery and
[9:47] Winery. Next slide. Then uh Trapani Farms, Quimby Farm,
[9:53] Lawrence Farms Orchards, next slide. Uh the Boise Farms, Ben Marl Winery, Pard
[10:00] Vineyard, and finally for now anyway, Hudson River Fruit Distributors. Through
[10:06] this amazing experience, I have learned so much about Marbo's history and the
[10:10] experiences that these farmers and wine makers had to offer, aim to provide.
[10:14] Sorry. This is why I'm so excited for you all to see the completed interviews
[10:18] on the Meet Me and Marbor YouTube channel this October. I am so grateful
[10:23] to Sheila and Meet Me and Marbor for providing me with this opportunity and
[10:26] to our community for supporting me throughout this journey. Most
[10:30] importantly, I would like to thank the farmers, wine makers, and stewards of
[10:34] our land for all they do for Marbor and for feeding America.
[10:38] Um, next slide. It was not until I became actively
[10:44] involved in this interview project. Uh >> as in
[10:49] » which one? >> Sorry, previous slide. Uh
[10:54] yeah. Uh next slide. Next slide. >> Not about that.
[10:58] » I just don't know what happened to Okay, back.
[11:00] » I got out of order. >> That's weird. Okay. Um sorry about this
[11:05] slide. I don't know what happened, but it was not until I became actively
[11:09] involved in this interview project as an intern that I realized how much of a
[11:13] community can remain undiscovered. The stories that these hard workers were
[11:17] willing to share with me have been truly inspiring. Through my work with Meet Me
[11:21] and Marorrow, I have learned to appreciate their stories and these
[11:24] experiences have strengthened my connections in my hometown. The sense of
[11:28] belonging that visitors can gain after arriving in Marorrow is what makes t the
[11:32] Tuscanyany of the Hudson Valley tr truly gravitational. Thank you for your time
[11:36] and please remember to support local.
[11:42] Thank you.
[11:47] Thank you Jackie for the presentation. and Memal will host the series on a
[11:52] dedicated page uh at meetal.com and promote it through social media,
[11:57] newsletters, press releases, and potentially with local partners. Our
[12:01] goal is to support agricultural sustainability and promote the town of
[12:05] Malro as a premier destination in the Hudson Valley. We next want to take this
[12:10] opportunity to recognize Meet Me and Malro's intern Ava Tiscoco and Malro
[12:14] High School student and Malbor residents for assisting with Meet Me and Malber's
[12:19] online calendar.
[12:26] Hello board members and members of the community. I'm Ava Tediscoco, a senior
[12:30] at Marorrow High School and an intern at for Meet Me Marorrow. I started my
[12:35] internship with Meet Me in Marorrow in May of this year. Throughout these last
[12:39] couple of months, I have learned so much about all the different local businesses
[12:43] and organizations in Marro. As an intern, my main responsibility is to
[12:47] upload all the local events on the website's calendar. This allows people
[12:52] to stay informed on what is going on in our community, as well as helping
[12:56] businesses get their information out to the public. I have found Meet Me in
[13:00] Marorrow to be an incredible resource. And over the last five months, I've
[13:04] uploaded almost a hundred events. I'm so grateful for my teacher, Miss Becker,
[13:08] for setting me up with Me and Marorrow and for Sheila Manning for giving me
[13:11] this internship. I hope to see this organization continue to grow for many
[13:15] more years. Thank you.
[13:22] So, we would like to thank both Ava and Jackie for being Meet Me and Mabro's
[13:26] interns and for all their hard work and dedication to helping meet me in Maro
[13:30] and our community.
[13:40] » Oh, wow.
[13:46] Thank you guys.
[13:57] » Next slide. >> Next slide.
[14:00] » Next slide. >> Oh, I'm sorry. Yes.
[14:05] » Uhhuh. will be conduct conducting the video project with an and honoring Maro
[14:10] agricultural celebration on Sunday, October 18th, 5:30 p.m. at the
[14:15] underground at the Falcon along with Katie Downs Sound Stories project. We
[14:20] hope you all will be able to join us for that event. Thank you.
[14:24] » Thank
[14:31] you really quickly. Sorry. Our new posters and pamphlets, we did
[14:37] leave them here in the town hall. They're going to be posted throughout
[14:40] the town. It lists all our members, civic groups, uh, organizations, etc.
[14:45] with QR codes that will lead you back to our website. So, please take a look and
[14:49] support local. Thank you. >> Thank you.
[14:56] » All right.
[15:01] » Well, Jackie and Ava, great job. It's awesome to see the younger generation
[15:06] get involved and learn about our town and farming and be excited about it. Um
[15:11] really great presentation and uh I know working with Meet Me and Marorrow is is
[15:16] a great organization to work with. They have a very large group of um people
[15:20] that they work with every day. Uh Sheila, you know, you you do
[15:25] unbelievable job. You've been doing this what 25 years.
[15:30] Yeah. It's like crazy. time goes by so fast and Lucia now is stepping up and
[15:34] helping out doing a lot of work. But, uh, we really appreciate what Meet Me
[15:38] and Mara does for the town and to have the next generation step up and start to
[15:42] do these things is is awesome. And, uh, you know, doing going out and doing the
[15:46] interviews is is is something that uh is awesome to see that you guys are
[15:51] actually getting involved and and wanting to understand what these farmers
[15:54] do on a day-to-day basis. So, thank you very much.
[16:04] All right. So, supervisor updates. Um, I have an update. So, the dedication of
[16:10] the property from the orchard on the Hudson. I did receive the contract this
[16:14] week. I will be giving it to the um town board to look over. I first have our
[16:19] attorney just looking it over first just to make sure what uh we discussed should
[16:24] be in there would be in there. This is the property next to the Falcon. Um that
[16:29] would be dedicated for uh public parking. So we should possibly see that
[16:34] on the agenda for next meeting, but again it's up to the board. Um I did
[16:40] attend the 911 ceremony this uh couple weeks back. Um
[16:47] James Ventrigalia who's the teacher there uh did an awesome job bringing
[16:52] different people from the community together to speak about their experience
[16:56] on the day of 9/11. Uh I was lucky enough to be able to participate in
[17:00] that. Kurt Falton also participated. a few of the teachers um and you know
[17:07] you don't think about it but like you know none of those children none of
[17:10] those kids that were there were even thought about or born at the time when
[17:13] we when 9/11 happened and actually some of the teachers were just being born
[17:18] that are teaching now which is kind of crazy but it did bring you back and
[17:22] there was things that you don't remember and they you brought it back up like you
[17:27] know even like those little yellow ribbons we used to put on our cars and
[17:30] the flags we used to put on our cars you know that was uh when we were all
[17:34] together. But uh it was a good event. Um I've been doing budget meetings now. Uh
[17:41] I've been working on the budget seven seven weeks approximately. Myself uh our
[17:45] budget officer and department heads uh we've been having department head
[17:50] meetings the last two months or two weeks, excuse me, uh really in depth to
[17:55] try to get this under control because uh I think I've said this multiple times.
[18:00] you know, what goes on in your everyday life in your household isn't immune to
[18:04] the town. Um, we have been hit with some major major increases this year that
[18:11] we're trying to get under control. That's why you're seeing a resolution
[18:14] tonight for a public hearing for next meeting to possibly go over the tax cap.
[18:19] Um, it's something we have to do uh for procedural wise. Doesn't mean we're
[18:23] going to go over the cap. It just means that in uh for precautionary reasons, we
[18:27] are going to put this out there. Um we're hoping we don't have to go over
[18:30] the cap, but I could tell you it's it's been a very very very uh tough year. And
[18:36] um next meeting there'll be a public hearing. Uh after tonight, the tenative
[18:41] budget will be accepted and then it'll be online um starting tomorrow. And you
[18:46] could look it over, you could get your comments together. You could come and
[18:49] and um explain your thoughts and uh give us suggestions because trust me, I'll
[18:54] take any suggestion you could give me to try to actually get this budget under
[18:57] control. I I I think I've been through every single line about 25 times. I
[19:02] don't know what else I could really cut out. Um because a lot of this is fixed
[19:06] costs. A lot of it's contractual costs. Um but we will try our best. So um I
[19:13] don't know if anybody saw, but we put out there American Cruise Line had their
[19:16] brand new uh ship go out uh last week, the American Ranger docked at Milton
[19:21] Landing. It was the first maiden voyage of the ship which was pretty cool um
[19:26] that they actually came up to Hudson and it was the first stop was in Milton so
[19:30] that was really nice. Train station is getting complete thanks to Gail and his
[19:34] team. Um the ADA doors are in. The ADA lift has been put in. Um I don't know if
[19:42] you want to give a little update on that, Gail, but
[19:46] uh we were supposed to have uh the first use of it this weekend or the last
[19:50] weekend, but uh it got cancelled due to the weather, the uh Milton Landing Fest,
[19:55] and we will reschedu that event for the spring hopefully.
[20:00] » Yeah. Um, but hopefully sometime in the fall, maybe in the next few weeks,
[20:03] somebody could figure out some type of event to have in the freight st freight
[20:08] room because that's now technically open to the public for um, you know, seasonal
[20:14] events. So, it's a good space. Uh, it's always been intended to be open. It just
[20:19] needed some work. And, uh, thanks to um, >> like we said, Amanda Rubin for donating
[20:25] the the money for the uh, the ADA wheelchair lift.
[20:30] and uh the wines for putting towards the doors. Uh we were able to get that done.
[20:35] So that was the final hopefully the final train station project. Uh and uh
[20:40] we're in good shape down there. Hopefully we can find a time where
[20:43] everybody can see it. So >> Gale, I was just going to say, can we
[20:46] set up a time for the recck committee to do a quick tour of the new space and see
[20:49] if they have any ideas for events to put there?
[20:52] » Yeah, that'd be uh great because I think it'd be a cool idea to have a town board
[20:56] meeting in that room. um just not now because there is no heat in that room.
[21:02] So maybe that's the last and final thing that we may have to look at doing is
[21:05] putting maybe one of those heat and air condition uh units in there. But uh
[21:11] » you know it it it is an awesome space. It's a space of history. Um you know
[21:16] just walking in there and and standing on those floors, you could tell how
[21:20] historic it is. And uh you know by what Gail did is you know him and Sean uh
[21:26] Gail came up with the design of the door to make it exactly look like the
[21:31] original door that was on the front of the building which it is. And you would
[21:35] never know that that was a a replica door that they put in on both sides to
[21:39] make it ADA compliant. Um it came out perfect. Um and uh you know it was great
[21:46] that you guys were able to do that. So, because I was very concerned about how
[21:49] it would look and it was going to change the look at a train station and the
[21:52] historic of it, but you would never know it wasn't there before. So, so if it's
[21:57] going to be used, that's going to be great. So,
[21:59] » yeah, it's a great project. >> I also this week I was I went down to
[22:02] the sewer plant in Marorrow. Um, I don't know if anybody knows, we are doing the
[22:07] sewer plant upgrade. We've been working on it now for over a year. Uh, this is a
[22:11] big project. Um it's about a 30% increase in uh um usage that we can uh
[22:18] use flow at the at the plant when it's finally turned on. It's probably not
[22:21] going to be another year at least for that. We also are working through our
[22:25] our our permitting process with DEEC on this. In the interm we did all the
[22:30] construction phase of it which is basically completed. The next phase will
[22:34] be starting to ask the bid out for the electrical. Um, and after your
[22:38] electrical, then we then we would be able to turn on the flow if the DEEC
[22:42] gives us permission. So, basically, you get all the construction work completed,
[22:46] you'll get the electrical work completed, and once DEC gives approval,
[22:49] which is basically a two-year process right now, um, then we could turn on the
[22:54] flow. But, this is going to increase the capacity by 30%. Uh, it's going to give
[22:59] us, uh, much better equipment than we have. We've been had a lot of breakdowns
[23:03] at that plant that haven't been replaced in probably 25 years. A lot of these
[23:07] parts, um, especially the electrical, when we get to the electrical, um, I
[23:12] don't know if anybody knows the old IBM computers that used to take up a whole
[23:15] wall, um, to compute. Basically, that's what we have down there. You, um,
[23:20] running the plant right now. It's a huge wall of just old electronics and
[23:24] computers. It's, it's very outdated. um which will hopefully get replaced, but
[23:30] that will be coming uh in the in the fall or into early next year. We'll be
[23:35] putting that out to bid. Uh I met with our insurance agent, you
[23:40] know, to try to see if there was anything we can change on our health
[23:43] plan. Um you know, we we have MVP health plan.
[23:48] It's it's part of our our contractual agreements with a lot of our our three
[23:52] unions that we represent. Um they've always been good. It's just, you know,
[23:56] we got hit with a 16.91% increase on a $ 1.5 million
[24:03] already um policy. It's a big hit. And uh we could go to a lesser plan. What
[24:09] happens is with these plans, I just going to give everybody an outline. You
[24:12] could go to a lesser plan. Um but according to our contractual agreements,
[24:17] we would still have to make up that difference for the unions, right? So we
[24:21] have to give them the same or at least I forget how it's worded, chief.
[24:25] equivalent >> same or equivalent to what they're
[24:28] currently having. So if we change plans and it wasn't equivalent to what their
[24:31] other plan is, the town then would have to make up the difference in cost to the
[24:35] um individual. Um so if you stay with MVP, you could go to a a gold, you could
[24:40] go to a silver, you could go to a bronze. We we've been sticking with the
[24:43] silver because that's the middle of the road plan. Um the deductibles are pretty
[24:49] much middle of the road. So I could go down to the bronze plan. It doesn't
[24:52] change anything for the employee. they would still get the same benefit. They
[24:55] would still go to their same doctors. They would still get everything the
[24:58] same. But our deductible would go up quite significantly. So your premium
[25:02] comes down, your deductible goes up. At the end of the day, it's like a lease.
[25:07] They get their money one way or another, right? So um in our case, our town
[25:12] employees on average typically use about 50% of our deductibles. So when we
[25:18] budget, we try to budget for what the worst case scenario is for. And then if
[25:23] we only if we use 50% only, then that's it's to our favor. This year being the
[25:28] budget constraints that we have, we're budgeting for that 50% only. We're not
[25:34] budgeting for the whole 100%. We're saying that we've been typically seeing
[25:39] 50% usage of the deductible. So that's what we're budgeting for.
[25:43] Again, that's to just trying to get this budget in check. I will tell you this
[25:48] budget and I'll tell you right now the budget was at 19% increase when they
[25:52] first came in 19%. It's a huge number. There's no way we're
[25:58] going to do a 19% increase, right? It's not going to happen. We were able to get
[26:02] it first down to 10.8. It's down to 8.47.
[26:06] We're trying to get it even further down, but a lot of these are fixed
[26:09] costs. We've got we shaved off about 10% from the original number. That's a lot.
[26:15] Um, we're going to keep working on it, but there's a lot of fixed costs. And
[26:19] next meeting, again, trust me, I will go through everything what we what we're
[26:22] spending. You could look at the budget and you could see it yourself, but
[26:26] there's a lot of fixed costs in here. I also um attended the meet me in Marbor
[26:31] event, which they just left at Ben Marorrow, which was a great event, and
[26:34] that was promoting what they were just talking about today.
[26:38] Um, I met with uh Mike Cooper who's doing the crossing with CSX this past
[26:44] week trying to figure out when they're going to finish this thing. Um, they've
[26:47] been doing a lot of work, but they're still not there yet. They still haven't
[26:50] even had the crew down that's going to do the black topping um in between and
[26:55] they haven't come down with the crew that's actually going to install the
[26:58] safety arms. He technically really can't give me a date because all these crews
[27:03] work independently and they do from one job to the next job to the next job. So
[27:07] until they complete their next job, they really can't give us an actual date.
[27:11] They originally said it's going to be by the end of the year. So that's all I
[27:14] could tell everybody is by the end of the year hopefully that crossing uh will
[27:18] be complete. >> They were working in the rain this
[27:20] morning which is a good sign. >> I mean they've been working. I I I mean
[27:22] they have been working but I would have thought they'd be done by now. Um,
[27:28] I want Dave to talk a little about um, meet me and Marorrow had an issue up at
[27:33] the park for the farmers market and he went up there and took care of it like
[27:36] this week. So, you want to give any update on that, Dave?
[27:41] » Um, it really wasn't a big deal. We we had gotten a call from uh, Jerry Greco
[27:46] saying that there was some roots growing up out of the ground and she was
[27:51] afraid that people were going to start tripping on them during the uh, farmers
[27:54] market. So, uh, the following Monday or Tuesday, I believe, we ran up there and
[28:01] put some, uh, like a wood chip mixture down. I didn't want to use gravel
[28:05] because then I got to worry about hitting it with hitting hitting the
[28:08] gravel with stone the stones and putting it through somebody's window on 9W. And
[28:12] I didn't want to put item four down because it kind of doesn't go with the
[28:15] whole natural flow of things. So, we put some natural wood chips down, made like
[28:19] a path that now when everybody sets up their tent or their their section there,
[28:24] uh, it's just a nice soft pad where you don't have to worry about tripping over
[28:27] the roots anymore. It wasn't a big deal. We So, uh, bottom line is
[28:32] » we took care of it. So, that's >> Well, I appreciate that. But, I mean,
[28:35] but you know, my point was asking this is like if anybody out there sees things
[28:39] out there that we don't see because again, we may not see them, tell us,
[28:44] right? and Jerry told us and it was fixed I think in 2 days. So, you know,
[28:50] if we can fix it, we will fix it. Some things we can't fix and if we can, it
[28:54] might sometimes they might take a while, but if it's something that we don't know
[28:57] about, let us know. Um, and the last thing I want to say is um I was able to
[29:02] attend this this week. It was on uh Thursday. Pat Hines, our Mcouel
[29:08] engineering, who's been our engineer for our town for 32 years, has finally
[29:13] retired. Um, he actually sold all his shares in MHE Engineering. He's no
[29:19] longer at all with MHE engineering. Um, I was able to present him with a plaque
[29:24] from the town, the town board and his 30 plus years of service to the town. Um,
[29:31] Michael Sichler, um, I mean, Matt Sichler is going to be replacing him.
[29:34] He's been attending planning board meetings. Um, and he's also from MH
[29:39] Engineering right now. But uh I just want to say personally if he's watching
[29:44] since we are live Pat we really appreciate everything you've done for 32
[29:48] years of service to the town of Marorrow. Um when Pat first started we
[29:53] were just getting into really the planning board process. Remember a lot
[29:57] of our codes and stuff came into effect in the in the 70s um and then evolved
[30:03] into the 80s a little more. But uh Pat's been there from day one pretty much and
[30:08] uh we really appreciate everything he did. Thank you. That's my report.
[30:13] Uh, anybody have comments specifically just on the agenda, which typically no
[30:17] one does? No one. And, uh, any reports of committees, recreation committee? We
[30:22] got anything that's coming up? I know we do have a few things, right?
[30:27] » Uh, the recreation committee participated along with the Lions Club
[30:32] in the youth community fishing day on Saturday despite the rain. Saturday or
[30:36] Sunday? I think I'm messing up the It was Saturday.
[30:39] » Um, and that went well. People were, you know, very happy and and I think a fair
[30:44] number of people actually came out even in spite of the weather. It was a little
[30:48] more on the mild side on Saturday. >> So, great job by the rec committee and
[30:51] the Lions Club on that. Uh, the next event up is the trunk or treat, which is
[30:58] going to be on Saturday the 24th. That's one week before Halloween. Uh, do you
[31:03] remember the time offhand? I want to say it's 3:30.
[31:08] Good job, Chief. Good job. That's why we pay you the big bucks.
[31:12] » Um, so >> yeah, he does get paid the big bucks.
[31:14] » I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Um, but that's always a great event. There's uh the
[31:18] it's getting gotten bigger and bigger every year, so the number of trunks is
[31:23] usually pretty much through the roof and taking up the majority of the town park.
[31:27] Um, so if you haven't been to that before, I would highly encourage you to
[31:30] go. >> What else? Well, I want to I'll add to
[31:34] like this weekend is is is pretty busy weekend because the uh Bounty Fest is
[31:38] this weekend >> on Saturday. So, if anybody's uh around,
[31:42] I think the weather's supposed to be good. I believe Saturday. So, um it'll
[31:46] be at the uh town park and I believe it's 12 to 4, something like 10
[31:53] » 10 to 4. I knew it was like something to four. So, um it's always a great event.
[31:57] Um a lot of local vendors are there. You get your moms, you get your vegetables,
[32:02] you get everything there at the at the bounty fest. It's a really great event.
[32:05] And again, Meet Me and Marbor does a really good good show of um getting
[32:09] everybody out. So, uh um uh but >> marketing committee will be at the
[32:15] Bounty Fest with the table also. So, we're blending all of our committees
[32:18] here. >> Yeah. October Fest is on the 4th on
[32:21] Sunday. So, if anybody wants to go to October Fest, it's at Ben Mar Winery.
[32:27] That's another great event every year. So, we're trying to promote our local
[32:30] establishments and get people out. Um, it's a really good event. So, anything
[32:35] else? I think that's it. >> Uh, CAC committee Mickey.
[32:50] Good evening. Our September meeting focused on
[32:54] discussion of plans for 2027. We submitted a request to the board for
[32:58] directions for upcoming projects that you would like the CAC to take on.
[33:03] Included in that letter was a suggestion to educate the public on utility costs
[33:07] and delivery. This is especially important with continual escalation of
[33:12] electricity costs for our residents. The expected completion of the solar farm at
[33:17] the transfer station site gives us a good opportunity to bring this issue to
[33:21] the public. I drove past there a few days ago and was surprised to see so
[33:25] many panels already in place. Our suggestion was made prior to that
[33:29] discovery. Therefore, this seems to be quite a timely topic. With the board's
[33:34] approval, we will follow through and plan a public presentation dealing with
[33:38] the cost of electricity. And I thank the supervisor for his suggestion to
[33:42] consider developing a report on battery storage facilities. and I look forward
[33:46] to joining our liaison Councilwoman Cesa and Councilman Kauki in discussions on
[33:52] these and other options as we requested. Our next meeting is scheduled for
[33:57] October 8th when these two items will be given our attention. Thank you so much.
[34:01] » No, thank you. And I mean I don't have if anybody doesn't have any objection I
[34:04] don't have any objection about you doing a presentation on that. I mean I mean
[34:09] like I said I gave you that one because I'm I'm concerned about these battery
[34:12] storage facilities and uh we've been contacted a few times um from different
[34:17] uh vendors I will say. Um and they're always looking at property there's no
[34:21] possible way they could actually put them there but they try to squeeze them
[34:25] in. But uh yeah I really like to see what other communities have been how
[34:29] they've been dealing with it and what the actual effects of these are on
[34:33] communities. Um because they'll tell you they're safe and everything is great,
[34:36] but you know if they ever catch on fire, I mean you would probably know better
[34:40] than anybody. >> It's not good.
[34:41] » It's not a good thing. So um yeah, that'd be great.
[34:46] » Thank you. I will we will do that. >> Thank you.
[34:48] » Thank you.
[34:52] » I don't know if we have any other committees here. Laura's not here.
[34:56] Right. So, uh then we're going to go into new
[35:01] business, old business. Uh, so we need a motion tonight to change the October
[35:06] 12th meeting to October 13th due to Columbus Day and the town hall's closed.
[35:11] So I need a motion to change the meeting.
[35:14] » I'll make a motion to change October 12th Columbus Day meeting to October
[35:18] 13th. >> I'll second.
[35:20] » All in favor? >> I.
[35:22] » I. So I need a motion to accept the tenative budget for 2027.
[35:30] I will make the motion to accept the tenative budget for 2027.
[35:34] » Second. >> All in favor? I.
[35:37] » So again, the clerk now will have that and they will post it on the website for
[35:42] public to view. Correspondence. I got a few.
[35:50] Oh, I got this. Oh, I got this one late. Ran, you're here. You want to read it
[35:53] yourself? >> No, I don't have to.
[35:56] » You sure? I got it at five, but I'll say I'll read it. I got it. So, uh this is
[36:01] uh resolution 69 proposed to override the 27 tax levy limit. Dear supervisor
[36:07] Cork and members of the town board, we respectly request the board read this
[36:10] letter at December 28th meeting before considering resolution 69, including the
[36:15] meeting record. I ask the board to defer resolution 69 till residents have the
[36:20] financial information needed to access assess it. The resolution began the
[36:26] process of overriding the 2027 tax levy limit and schedule an October 13th
[36:30] hearing. Does not itself impose tax increase. It nevertheless asked the
[36:35] public to consider removing taxpayer protection without explaining our
[36:39] figures and why the step may be necessary. So just you hear what I said
[36:43] in the last thing, right? This is just to set the public hearing, right? So
[36:46] you're going to have all that opportunity. Uh on October 28, 2024,
[36:52] Supervisor Corkin explained the adjustments made to bring to the budget
[36:55] below the cap. So as long as we're on $1 under the cap, I'm fine with me. And
[37:00] that's I still I still believe that $1 is all we need. On set September 22nd,
[37:05] 2025, describe this as a most transparent board we ever going to meet.
[37:11] I still believe that too. Residents are therefore entitled to ask that their
[37:15] town live up to those standards in consideration of proposal. Resolution 69
[37:20] offers the ambulance uh abundance of caution and fiscal stability and
[37:24] explanation. At the same time, it identifies no projected short force
[37:28] proposal excess levy alternative considerations.
[37:32] Again, we'll get that to the next meeting. We agree that the caution may
[37:36] justify the examination of override. It does not without more supply the
[37:40] financial case for one. If circumstances have changed since the board celebrated
[37:44] staying below the cap, the public should be shown the change and what has been
[37:49] done to address it, we will. The publish agend uh agend the published agenda
[37:55] contains neither the tenative budget nor the proposed local law itself, which we
[37:59] can't till we accept it, which we just did tonight. That's how that how it
[38:03] works. Uh when checked this morning, the town's annual budget pay still ended
[38:07] with 2026 final budget. The resolution promises to inspect the proposed local
[38:12] law of the clerk's office. Work and residents should also be able to read
[38:15] the law and support and figure online sufficient time and ask for information
[38:19] or questions. You'll have it tomorrow. Please also state that when these
[38:25] materials were first made public, publications on Friday over the weekend
[38:28] before the Monday meeting leave residents little practical or
[38:31] opportunity to obtain answers forhand. The opportunity to speak is a limited
[38:36] value information needed to speak intelligently and arise short uh before
[38:40] the decision. You'll have that opportunity next meeting right before
[38:44] proceeding. Please publish the full proposed local law 2027 and calculated
[38:49] levy limits propo excuse me expose excess of dollars and percentage terms
[38:53] and principal reasons for it and a savings alternatives examined. allow
[38:57] meaningful period to review and commit to answering res uh residents questions
[39:02] publicly before overriding the vote. At a time when the average American faces
[39:06] national affordability crisis, households must work even harder to
[39:10] carefully reconcile their obligations with the money available to meet with
[39:14] them. The residents of Marbor are owed the opportunity to understand how the
[39:17] government has undertaken the same exercise before being asked to
[39:21] contribute more. Please demonstrate the transparency and financial care of the
[39:25] board as asked residents to credit it with provide the figures. Allow
[39:29] meaningful time examine and explain the decision before making it. Sincerely,
[39:33] Ryan Garcia. All right, Ran. So, you understand how it's working, right? So,
[39:38] we have to accept the tenative tonight, which we will. We post it tomorrow,
[39:41] which we will. Tonight's resolution is to set a public hearing. So, you have
[39:45] the opportunity, you have two weeks to go over the budget, get your questions
[39:49] together. Next meeting we'll have the opportunity to answer those questions,
[39:52] explain to you why we're at the where we're at, how we figured where we got to
[39:57] where we're at, um, and answer all those questions. All right.
[40:01] » All right. Thank you. All right. This one's from John Alange,
[40:06] highway superintendent, September 25th, 2026. Supervisor Cork and Town Board. I
[40:11] I'm requesting a com uh conversion on uh Old Indian Trail in Milton from a
[40:18] two-way road to a one-way road at the Southerntherly End at Old Indian Road to
[40:23] the Milton train station at the end of Dock Road. Now that the train station is
[40:28] being utilized on a regular basis, it has created an increase in travelers.
[40:33] This road wasn't built to handle the type of activity being extremely narrow
[40:37] and quite dangerous with parts of the road being compromised due to erosion.
[40:42] The current width makes it difficult for two vehicles to safely pass one another
[40:47] frequently resulting in a gridlock. This change will optimize traffic flow and
[40:52] reduce vehicular conflicts. Once approved, we will install the proper
[40:56] signage and notify the residents of the change respectfully submitted. John
[41:00] Alangei, highway superintendent. So John had spoken to me earlier about
[41:04] this. I told him you got to write to the board and we make a um a decision to
[41:10] uh look at this. So basically what John's asking from coming from southern
[41:14] southern end to the northern end to make it one way that way because of how
[41:18] narrow the road is and I don't know if everybody's been on old Indian trail.
[41:22] It's basically what the name is. It was used to be an old Indian trail. It was a
[41:27] trading route. It's very narrow. Um at some point in time it was put back it
[41:33] was put into use for two-way use I think because of some of the housing that's
[41:36] very close to the northern end. Um but with the train station being utilized uh
[41:42] even more frequently it has be becoming a problem. Uh it even also becomes a
[41:47] problem sometimes with the um cruise ships because they deliver food and they
[41:52] deliver um supplies to the cruise ship at our port. um and some of the uh
[41:58] Google maps will take you on that road and it's kind of dangerous. So, I do
[42:03] agree with John that this probably should be a one-way road. I'm also
[42:06] asking him to look at um by the dog park, Sand Avenue Road on
[42:12] that turn that goes down >> that we look at changing that into a
[42:16] oneway >> because coming down that road and coming
[42:19] up there's an impossibility of two cars passing each other. I don't know how
[42:23] it's not a one-way road now. So, we're probably going to get that letter. He
[42:26] just wants to look at it a little more closer and see if he could do anything
[42:30] to widen that. Um, but uh I think we have to kind of make that a oneway down,
[42:37] right? >> Yes. So,
[42:38] » but Indian Trail was always a >> it was one way when I was growing
[42:42] » for a long time. When we were young, it was always one way
[42:45] » and then it got changed. Um, >> and that's absolutely impossible to
[42:48] widen. There's there's no widening ever happening there.
[42:51] » No, there's no way to really widen that. We have had erosion. Obviously, we had
[42:55] the the landslide a few years back that got repaired. Um
[43:00] uh we've been working with um uh Central Hudson. I know Gail's been working with
[43:05] me on this and John and and the guys of trying to get them to move some of those
[43:09] poles, putting some of the stuff underground um so we don't have the
[43:13] problem of the poles tipping over and having issues. Um, we have to get a
[43:18] couple land owners to give rightaways and right now they haven't been uh
[43:22] willing to give those rightaways. That's been the the holdup. We're trying to
[43:26] work alternatively with other ways of getting around that, but uh we're not
[43:30] sure yet. So, as everybody's okay with this, I will I have to give this to our
[43:36] attorneys and they have to look at um how we do this as a process. So, do I
[43:41] have any objections? >> No.
[43:45] » No. No. It makes sense. >> So, I'll reach out to them and find out
[43:49] what we have to do to start that process.
[43:54] All right. This is from Frank. So, Frank, uh, good morning. This
[43:59] is from, uh, Marbor Milton Lions Club. Good morning, uh, Stephanie and
[44:02] Danielle. Sorry for the late request. Attaches the facility use request form
[44:08] for October 17th for the conference room. I've also attached the insurance
[44:12] form. Also, the Marvel Milton Lions Club requests the fee to be of the usage be
[44:17] waved for the club. Thank you. Your best Frank. Um, this is from the Marbor
[44:22] Milton Lions Club. They're just going to be using the small conference room and
[44:25] we checked today. It is available. So, I would need a motion to wave the usage
[44:30] fee for the Marboro uh Lions Club for the use of the conference room on
[44:34] October 17th. >> I will make the motion to wave the fee
[44:39] for the Lions Club. I'll second that.
[44:43] » All in favor? I I >> I So move.
[44:48] All right. This is from Dana Williams. Town board members. Dear members of the
[44:53] town board, I hope the letter finds you well. I am Ryan on behalf of the Marbor
[44:57] High School girls JV varsity volleyball teams respectfully requesting the waiver
[45:02] reduction of the rental fee for the use of the community center for the upcoming
[45:06] end of the season banquet. Last year we held our second annual banquet at the
[45:10] community center and it was a great success. The facility the facility was
[45:14] an ideal setting for the event. The spacious layout, the convenient
[45:18] location, ample parking, tables and chairs and availability of the media
[45:22] equipment made it comfortable and welcome environment for all athletes,
[45:26] families, and coaches to celebrate the season. We are planning to host a
[45:30] banquet again this year and would love to return to the community center. As a
[45:33] public school, our budget is often constrained and allocating funds for
[45:37] rental fees can be challenging. Our event is organized entirely by parent
[45:41] volunteers and funded through modest fundraising efforts. A waiver of the
[45:45] rental fee would greatly assist us in keeping this celebration affordable and
[45:49] accessible for our teams and families. We truly appreciate the town's support
[45:53] of youth athletes and community programs and we are hopeful hopeful that you will
[45:57] consider this request. We more than happy to provide additional information
[46:01] you may need to comply with any guidance or requirements set forth. Thank you for
[46:06] your time and consideration. Daniel Williams, banquet coordinator, team
[46:09] parent. And this is Do they have the date on here? Did they give you the
[46:14] date, Danielle? >> It's not in the letter.
[46:17] » No, it's not in the letter.
[46:24] Yeah, it's kind of odd that they didn't put the date, but I mean, I would say as
[46:28] long as the date is available, I will make the motion to wave the fees for the
[46:33] JV varsity volleyball team banquet at the community center. Uh, as long as the
[46:39] availability is there. >> Second.
[46:42] » All in favor? >> I
[46:44] » I so move. You know, I went up there on this
[46:48] weekend, too, just so you know, it's like it was great because the someone
[46:52] was having like a a wedding and they had like just how we had it thought like
[46:56] they had the reception on the one side and the cocktail party. I was like they
[47:00] they had it set up really nice. It was just it was really beautiful. But so, uh
[47:05] these are just for I have to read that. So, that's it. That's all I got for
[47:08] correspondence.
[47:20] All right. So, now we got Anybody got any public comments? Anybody have public
[47:23] comments on today's meeting? Anybody? Adam.
[47:44] Hi again board. Um as always there's a lot of really beautiful things coming to
[47:49] the town board and seeing uh you know a lot of beautiful developments. Uh seeing
[47:52] the meet me in Marboro presentation uh genuinely made me smile ear to ear. Um
[47:58] it's incredible. It's sometimes uh hard uh for me living here for the past few
[48:03] years to remember and see those beautiful things. I remember what
[48:06] brought my family and I to Marboro. This is where my son was born. uh you know
[48:10] it's where our communities become uh based. Um the things that I just I mean
[48:17] you know everybody you know on this side of the room knows um I just can't I
[48:23] don't get it. I don't understand I don't understand what what you're
[48:29] doing. I think a lot of people here have an idea about what I'm talking about. Uh
[48:33] you've certainly made no secret of it. I've watched you tonight wave, you know,
[48:37] more fees, uh, you know, for for things that I guess you guys like, uh, than I
[48:42] asked you to wave when I asked for just a record, a public record, something
[48:46] that belongs to all of us. Not only did you not wave it, you've spent untold
[48:51] hundreds of thousands fighting the release of a record that belongs to the
[48:55] people in this room, that belongs to me, that pertains to me, that you, Scott,
[49:01] certified exists, that you read the reports on, you swear your brother is
[49:07] telling the truth about when I've put to this very board more than 60 days ago,
[49:12] not for the first time, detailed 30-page report with citation
[49:18] with records with with I mean I don't know what else I can put here to say
[49:23] this is not the first time that someone has found that the building department
[49:27] has fabricated records fabricated records. It's wonderful when these
[49:33] amazing projects get to be made. What we don't hear about are the projects that
[49:36] got killed because of these things because somebody has complete control
[49:41] and is able to just abuse the power of their office and more importantly when
[49:44] they come to the town hall to these board members to you and they ask you to
[49:50] look into it to do the bare minimum section 415 of the town code of of your
[49:55] employee handbook excuse me bare minimum to investigate it's not just no you
[50:01] vilify them and I'm not again I'm not the first one I thought I special. I
[50:05] did. I'm not. You've had these reports. How long are you going to pretend that
[50:11] you are still looking for this this record? Something that Thomas Corker and
[50:17] Jr. lied about under oath. This is not a complicated request. You keep saying the
[50:22] volume of the requests. You'll deal with them in the order that they've come.
[50:25] I've seen these foils come and go. There is no way. It doesn't make sense. It's
[50:30] insulting not just to me but also to you as board members. During the same
[50:36] period, the same period that allegedly all this was going on and was already
[50:40] known three months later. I have Gail hired to build the dance
[50:45] floor for this super illegal farm event resort hotel thing.
[50:51] I was of course given your number by Thomas Corker and Jr. We spent a good
[50:55] time, a good amount of time together, a good deal of money. It's a big project.
[50:59] You did a beautiful job. A beautiful job.
[51:04] You congratulated me on my event. You asked me how it went. Thomas, of course,
[51:08] was supposed to come. Told me to make sure that I invite him to the next one.
[51:13] We have to sit here. I have to sit here and pretend that I don't know what's
[51:18] going on. And I know that you're waiting me out. It It works. There's statutes of
[51:22] limitations. There's resources. There's also emotional anguish. I'm I'm tired. I
[51:28] am tired. And I know you guys are tired. I know you can't stand it. You could you
[51:34] could just release the record. My whole position and I have stated this under
[51:41] oath is that it cannot be true. I I put it in there. I said that it is
[51:47] false. Last year, a Facebook comment triggered you to take the town attorney
[51:54] without authorization from this board to go after what? Facebook moms for an
[52:00] errant comment by an anonymous poster. The most transparent government that
[52:05] Marro has ever seen. You not only s your attorney on them, you put the fear of
[52:09] God in them. They were terrified. They shut down the group. That group has
[52:12] never been the same. And they're not the only ones. The message was very clear.
[52:15] people who post things online. You don't know when the government's going to be
[52:19] knocking on your door. And as much as you said, "Oh, it was just the one
[52:22] thing. It was just the town letter. That's the only thing the town paid
[52:25] for." >> Four minutes.

[53:31] what you're doing to the town of the corruption. You're also your name is
[53:34] being dragged through this. Why? >> We spent time together. This is it's not
[53:38] who you are. Why are you guys being dragged into this
[53:42] because of this kind? >> But man, so do something. These are your
[53:46] candidates, right? >> Yes.
[53:48] » But but Manny, what what would you do in my position?
[53:51] » Did you get corruption like this? What would you do?

[54:06] to recordings about how the building inspector not only fabricates records
