[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.

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.

[44:08]

[44:12]

Frank. Um, this is from the Marbor
[44:22]
Milton Lions Club. They're just going to

[44:25]
we checked today. It is available. So, I
would need a motion to wave the usage

» All in favor? I I

[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.
[52:26]
» No, no, no.
>> We're at four minutes. So, I thank you
[52:29]
for your time.
>> When I'm done,

Anybody
[52:35]
» sounds to me It sounds to me like you're
once again trying to shut down the
[52:39]
» Anybody else have any public comments?
>> The crazy.
[52:42]
» Anybody? Thank you. Then we're going to
close the public hearing time. We're
[52:46]
going to go on to resolution number 67.
>> Doesn't have to be this hard.
[52:51]
» Resolution number 67
>> is to appoint a part-time dispatcher.
[52:57]
» Supervisor Corker proposes the following
on this one thing.
[53:00]
» Whereas the chief of police have
interviewed for the position of
[53:03]
part-time police dispatcher. And where
is it the recommendation of the chief of
[53:08]
police to appoint
>> October Zapos? You took down my part
[53:13]
dispatcher.
>> Where did it go?
[53:15]
» It is resolved that Sammy was appointed
effective October 1st, 2026.
[53:19]
» You don't have the request for it.
>> I have it on video. Where is it?
[53:23]
» Danielle, do the roll call, please.
>> How many people have to tell you that
[53:27]
they're scared of this town board?
They're scared of what you are doing of
[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?
[53:54]
» Nothing. Right.
[54:00]
» I will say again,
>> these are public records that I have.
[54:03]
I've made them public. You can come and
you can investigate this. You can listen
[54:06]
to recordings about how the building
inspector not only fabricates records
[54:10]
about how he

Whereas the town board of the town of
[54:59]
Marorrow is in the process of preparing
a consideration of the town budget for
[55:03]
the fiscal year 2027.
Whereas the New York State general
[55:07]
municipal law section 3- C establishes a
limit of the amount of real property
[55:12]
taxes that may be levied by or on behalf
of the town of Marbor. And whereas under
[55:18]
general municipal law section 3-C5,
a local government may adopt a local law
[55:23]
to override the property tax levy limit
for the coming fiscal year provided that
[55:28]
such local law is provide a
supermajority vote of at least 60% of
[55:33]
the total voting power of the government
board. And whereas out of the abundance
[55:38]
of caution and to ensure the fiscal
stability of the town, the Marorrow of
