It's been closed for over a week now,
[6:48] » right?
>> Um
[6:49] » So, why are you here, Mike?
>> Because the town closed my client,
[6:53] right?
>> Um I understand that there was a
[6:55] warrant.
>> Do you know why we closed your client? I
[6:57] have not received any paperwork
concerning it. I have spoken to the
[6:59] assistant town attorney, but I have not
received any paperwork.
[7:02] » So, why don't we bring up the assistant
town attorney? Where is he?
[7:08] » Yeah, Mike, why don't why don't you have
a seat there
[7:11] » and we'll have Mr. Rosario
>> speak to the board. Um, this is on
[7:16] resolution 523.
This is regarding a location called milk
[7:22] and things and I assume that they sell
milk
[7:26] » and things
>> and things.
[7:28] » Uh for my appearance is Jorge Rosario,
senior assistant town attorney, town of
[7:32] Babylon. Um and I do have copies of the
uh of report by the town attorney's
[7:40] office. I'm going to provide one to
council
[7:44] and provide
[7:56] We we were uh previously uh here back in
October 2025 before the town board. At
[8:04] that point uh there was a presentation
that was made that uh concerning various
[8:10] arrests on February 7, 2024,
September 9, 2024. Both times the same
[8:17] individual
Ashish Brumbat
[8:21] and then another arrest on September 6,
2025, Chinloo. All of these for unlawful
[8:27] dealing to a child uh selling tobacco to
minors. These arrests were made by the
[8:32] first precinct. Um there's also a list.
Um I don't think it's necessarily into
[8:37] the record. It'll be part of the record,
but you have at least one, two, three,
[8:42] four, five, six, seven, eight uh arrests
similar issues going in 2024.
[8:50] Uh our recommendation is to uh
>> and then the most recent is a warrant
[8:56] that was executed by the first precinct
on June 25th,
[9:02] 2026.
>> Yes. supervisor that uh warrant was
[9:05] obtained signed by judge Saxs uh where
uh allowed us and the first precinct uh
[9:12] first pre executed it and as you can see
to the to the board's right my left over
[9:18] 2,217
[9:22] flavored vapes were confiscated at the
location. These were after community
[9:27] complaints of of of selling the flavored
vapes which are uh against the law in
[9:34] New York State. They were also against
town code that had been adopted. Uh
[9:40] these flavored vapes were found on the
property on that date.
[9:47] And what we find is that um the on the
last date in October 2025
[9:54] and as you can see as you're pulling
those out supervisor they're they're
[9:58] meant to attract um younger uh folks you
got you got bright colored packaging
[10:06] flavors of whether it's strawberry
banana or any anything you can think of.
[10:12] Um and and these are meant to which has
been recognized by the state
[10:17] [clears throat] and the town of Babylon
that they're meant to uh attract uh
[10:22] younger folks into becoming addicted to
nicotine.
[10:33] We on the last occasion in October 2025,
it was adjourned for uh for compliance
[10:41] and furthering um whether they were
going to begin to comply with the rules
[10:47] in terms of cing um um individuals
making sure that tobacco is being sold
[10:53] to only adults. Uh but what we've found
that um that has not been abided by. Um,
[11:00] in order to get the warrant, we had to
send in a minor who did purchase uh a
[11:06] flavored uh uh vape from the location.
The individual is under uh 21 years old
[11:13] and that was attached to the warrant
which was shown to Judge Saxs who then
[11:18] signed the uh warrant.
>> Okay. If I could just interrupt you for
[11:24] a sec. So did you say that there was an
agreement and then there was an
[11:29] adjournment because of the agreement to
kind of comply with the law and then
[11:33] they violated the agreement which led to
the warrant and here we are to Is that
[11:37] what you said?
>> Correct, Councilman? That is correct.
[11:40] That's exactly what occurred and uh so
as you can see um they they hadn't
[11:45] abided by the agreement that they told
the town board that they were going to
[11:49] do. So um the warrant was executed and
all this was found and the
[11:53] recommendation town attorney's office is
to uh keep the place closed as they
[11:58] haven't been able to comply and
they've the business has shown to have
[12:04] been uh an example of what a a public
nuisance is. the, you know, it's it's
[12:09] attracting young folks to something
that's so dangerous and just leads them
[12:16] to a life of being addicted to nicotine
and is
[12:21] and again it's it's unlawful
and itself.
[12:24] » Any other comments or questions?
>> Just just that when I was a county
[12:29] legislator, I sponsored the legislation
with K. Browning to expand the 2-year
[12:34] 48month requirement to 36 months. So,
this is an issue that's been very
[12:38] important to me that we get this
nuisance
[12:42] um at bad actors and give localities the
time frame to really capture these
[12:49] individuals and and do what the law is
intended to do. So,
[12:54] » absolutely. And and again, the intention
is to protect our our our youth, our
[12:58] children, and make sure that that's not
being sold. In addition to these items
[13:02] being sold, one of the complaints we got
was that uh um uh gummy worms type stuff
[13:09] with THC and it was also being sold and
and the email that we received months
[13:14] ago when we started our reinvestigation
of the property was that that was being
[13:18] sold as well and that was also found.
>> Would would you be able to put a dollar
[13:22] amount value on?
>> Yes. This is about uh close to we
[13:27] estimate about $60,000.
>> 60
[13:30] » 60,000
>> 60,000 and then what would it be sold?
[13:34] » They go from depending on the vape.
Tyson vapes usually sell for about uh
[13:39] $30. Other vapes about 25.
>> What's the markup? What would he be
[13:43] making?
>> Uh I actually don't have that answer. Uh
[13:47] supervisor, my apologies.
>> I I just do know that it's
[13:51] » it's more than milk. It's a lot more
than milk. And um
[13:55] » and and again, this this property is is
a nuisance that's been complained. We've
[14:00] received numerous complaints from the
community.
[14:02] » Right.
>> Okay.
[14:03] » And if there's any other questions,
>> anybody else
[14:06] » or Supervisor Hogan?
[14:10] [laughter]
[14:13] » All right.
>> Thank you, Super.
[14:16] » Thank you.
>> Michael, did you want to say something?
[14:18] because I'm going to I'm going to make a
suggestion if you'd like, but you can
[14:22] come forward and if you want to put
anything on the record, but my my
[14:26] suggestion is going to be I just kind of
sat over with Michael briefly and I told
[14:32] him that, you know, he's been here
before representing his client. He does
[14:37] a very good job representing his client.
Um, it's important for his client to
[14:42] have representation here. Um, I told him
that the town board is very upset. In
[14:49] fact, I've spoken to both school
district superintendent who cover the
[14:54] area in Deer Park and North Babylon, and
I'm sure if I spoke to the others,
[14:58] they'd have the same concerns um of what
they've seen uh over the last few months
[15:05] in schools.
We've spent money through our ARPA
[15:09] program to uh have Lynenhurst and Weanch
school districts p purchase vape
[15:17] detection systems that have been
installed in the bathrooms and locker
[15:22] rooms in various buildings in those
school districts. I know other districts
[15:27] have had to invest money to do that to
do just that to deal with with this
[15:33] which has become a massive problem. Um,
and I told him at this point his client
[15:39] doesn't have I mean in my in my eyes
zero credibility, but I would say
[15:44] there's really no credibility in terms
of him being able to manage this
[15:49] business. He should go into maybe a
legal business that sells products like
[15:56] this. Um, but that it would be in his
best interest, his clients, and he'll
[16:01] have to obviously speak to his client.
Um, but I think what I would recommend
[16:05] is that we have Michael work with the
town attorney's office to hammer out an
[16:10] agreement that is going to allow him to
sell the property in a very short period
[16:16] of time. And I'm sure a property on 231
in North Babylon is going to catch a
[16:24] bunch of people because if it's run
properly and legal in legal fashion, it
[16:29] can do very well. um people aren't going
to people are going to want to run into
[16:34] what we've done over the years, running
in quick to get the the necessities or
[16:40] essentials that you need. So, I would
recommend that we allow him that we
[16:46] table this today until August 5th.
>> August 5th.
[16:51] » August 5th is the next meeting that we
table this today. um that we have him
[16:57] meet with the town attorney's office
either today or tomorrow and hammer out
[17:01] hammer out an agreement that is going to
have him listing the property
[17:06] immediately for sale providing the town
attorney's office with that agreement
[17:12] either through a broker or for sale by
owner not dictating how you do your
[17:18] trans your personal uh the commercial
transaction. Um, and then we put a time
[17:22] limit on when that sale's got to be
consummated. Um, we're going to have to
[17:29] if we're going to allow him to open up
because obviously the sale is going to
[17:34] be based on whether or not there's an
operation going on there. So, that
[17:40] operation's got to be strictly monitored
um where we're going to have inspections
[17:47] almost daily as to what products are in
the building. and he's going to have to
[17:51] agree to allow our people to go in there
um and then get this thing sold right
[17:56] away because he needs to be out of this
business. There's not there's nothing
[17:59] else that we can talk about and there's
even though you're a great attorney,
[18:03] there's nothing else that you can come
up with that's going to convince us that
[18:08] he can do this. So, I think that that
would be a reasonable compromise. Um,
[18:14] and I think that we need to get that all
hammered out so that the board can vote
[18:18] on that at the August 5th meeting. I
think that gives us more than enough
[18:23] time. It's about a month to do that. Um,
does that sound reasonable to you?
[18:28] » Yes, it does.
>> We'll work on it soon.
[18:32] » Okay. So, we'll we'll when we get to
that resolution, we'll we'll pull that
[18:36] off. Well, no, it's in the resolution
section. We'll table that to August 5th.
[18:40] Everybody good with that?
>> Okay. Okay.
[18:43] » Thank you, Michael.
>> Okay.
[18:45] » I'm gonna put this
>> Yeah. You don't want to take that home
[18:48] to the kids, right?
>> Thank you, Michael.
[18:52] » In the parking lot.
>> All right. I don't have any other cards,
[18:55] so I'll take a motion.
>> And you better listen to your attorney.
[19:01] » Listen to him.
>> You didn't listen the last time, please.
[19:06] » Okay.
>> Thank you.
[19:08] » 514.
>> I'm sorry.
[19:10] » This card for 514. Oh,
>> 523.
[19:14] » Oh, got it. There resolution uh
resolution agenda. Yep. So, I'll bring
[19:18] up uh Julia Deo
>> for the um from the New York League of
[19:23] Conservation Voters. Julia
Demiano.
[19:29] » Yes,
>> there you go. And pull that down so you
[19:32] can get picked up. Yep. And just state
your name and address.
[19:35] » Tiny bit short. Uh my name is Julia
Damiano. Um, I work for the New York
[19:39] League of Conservation Voters and I work
out of um the Citizens Campaign for the
[19:44] Environment Office in Farmingdale. So,
225 Main Street A Farmingale.
[19:49] » Great.
>> So, I'm speaking on behalf of the New
[19:52] York League of Conservation Voters to ur
to urge the town of Babylon to allow for
[19:56] the expiration of the current moratorum
on battery energy storage systems and
[20:00] not extend it to support the responsible
appropriately sized deployment of these
[20:04] systems within the town. Battery storage
is essential for the strong for storing
[20:09] and integrating excess energy from the
grid as well as for providing reliable
[20:12] power during extreme weather or periods
of peak or periods of peak demand. These
[20:17] systems reduce reliance on fossil fuel
plants, support New York energy's clean
[20:20] goals, clean energy goals, create good
paying local jobs in the clean energy
[20:24] sector, and help tacking tackle the
growing affordability crisis by
[20:28] stabilizing the price of energy. We
understand that local municipalities,
[20:32] including yourself, have had concerns
over the safety of these deployments.
[20:35] However, Modern Best facilities are
designed and operated under some of the
[20:39] strictest safety safety codes in the
nation. The New York State Fire
[20:42] Prevention and Building Codes Council
issued updated safety guidelines for
[20:45] best deployments in July of 2025,
reflecting the latest best practices in
[20:49] fire safety, system design, and
emergency response. In support, six
[20:53] former FDMY leaders, including retired
Commissioner Thomas Van Essen, has
[20:57] affirmed that battery energy storage can
and should be safely integrated into our
[21:01] communities. By either rejecting this
clean and safe technology outright, or
[21:05] thoroughly overly or creating overly
restrictive codes, we are missing an
[21:08] opportunity to provide energy security,
grid resilience, local construction
[21:12] jobs, and more stable utility bills for
residents. Babylon has taken the time
[21:16] over the past six months to create a
working group and study this issue
[21:19] closely. And now it is time for
residents to see the results of this to
[21:22] allow for this technology to be safely
and appropriately placed in their
[21:25] communities. We ask for you to take the
necessary steps to update your codes and
[21:29] embrace this technology. We're open to
providing education or discussing this
[21:32] topic further with your office in order
to achieve cleaner, safer, and a healthy
[21:36] healthier town of Babylon. Thank you for
your time and consideration.
[21:39] » Thank you, Julia. Uh Lauren Cochran
Dulan, ACE New York.
[21:50] Hi, supervisor and board.
>> Good morning.
[21:52] » Good morning. I'm Lauren Corkin Doulan.
I'm representing Alliance for Clean
[21:56] Energy, also known as ACE New York this
morning.
[21:58] » Is your voice sore from the uh soccer?
>> I am. I'm a World Cup fan. So, I was
[22:03] just getting over my Knicks victory and
then my my British husband is very
[22:08] excited. England has [laughter]
advanced. So,
[22:10] » there you go.
>> Thank you, supervisor. I'm just here to
[22:13] bring a few letters today because my
voice I'm going to keep it short, but
[22:17] essentially um I want to thank you and
your amazing team. I know you and your
[22:20] town board know you have an amazing
team, but they've really worked to be
[22:24] thoughtful, meaningful um of of course
the public safety of the residents. I
[22:30] wanted to also let you know that we will
with a um retired fire FDNY team be
[22:36] meeting with fire leaders, anyone that
um the town board would like us to meet
[22:41] with uh over the course of the summer in
the next few weeks in the town of
[22:44] Babylon because we care too. There's no
wrong question when it comes to
[22:48] community safety. Um
>> I think we're [laughter] gonna connect
[22:51] you with the um town fire chief's
association.
[22:54] » That's wonderful. And so um and I and
you know for total disclosure, Rich is a
[22:59] mentor. So, uh, he's taught me that
there's no, you know, wrong question
[23:03] with community safety. [laughter]
>> I'm getting old, so it means he's really
[23:07] old. So, essentially, I just wanted to
bring this forward today. Um, your due

[29:56] Hi.
>> Hi. Just uh speak into the microphone
[29:58] and just state your name and address.
>> My name is Julie Vera. I live at 43
[30:03] Tmont Road in Lindenhurst and I'm here
because I have a concern about the
[30:07] fireworks every night. It starts like
mid to end of May. And it goes all the
[30:13] way into September. And two years ago it
was even into October. So in in most
[30:18] cases it's the firecrackers, but then we
have those explosions
[30:23] and it starts between like 8:30 and 9:30
at night. It goes till 11:30 or 12 and
[30:30] then occasionally at 1:00 in the morning
it wakes me up with the two loud
[30:34] explosions. So I don't know, you know,
it's not my direct block, but it's
[30:39] around.
>> So um Jorge Rosario is our assistant
[30:45] deputy town attorney. Jorge, just raise
your hand.
[30:48] » He runs our quality of life task force.
>> Okay.
[30:51] » And we have town investigators who work
different hours, including overnights.
[30:57] » Oh, okay.
>> So, I'd like to have him introduce you
[31:00] to the investigator.
>> Okay.
[31:02] » And then, um, we've had issues actually
cuz you're on the off of, um, Wellwood
[31:08] and Straight Path.
>> Yes.
[31:10] We had issues in on Tmont and Sherbrook
uh on the 109 side uh by the precinct.
[31:18] » So the investigators were able to work
with several of the residents over there
[31:22] recently.
>> Okay.
[31:24] » And [clears throat] they were able to
get information that the first precinct
[31:27] was able to act on.
>> Oh.
[31:28] » So if we could have um Jorge will just
introduce you to the investigator. Their
[31:33] their office is right here in the
building. And then um you'll have their
[31:37] number so that if there are issues,
you're able to either text them or um
[31:43] they'll cover your area
>> and they'll be out uh at different hours
[31:48] » and it's mostly between the hours that
you just mentioned.
[31:51] » Right.
>> Okay.
[31:52] » Okay. Thank you.
>> You're welcome, Julie. Right there.
[31:55] » And also I just want to add uh introduce
into the record two submissions by
[32:00] Anthony Mone of 886 County Line Road,
Amityville. Uh submission mark number
[32:06] one was submitted um for the July 8th,
2026 meeting. It was submitted to the
[32:11] town clerk's office on July 1st, 2026.
And the second submission
[32:18] um uh by Anthony Mon 886 County Line
Road, Amonyville uh was submitted for
[32:23] today. The July 8th meeting was
submitted to the town clerk's office on
[32:27] July 6. So we'll submit uh hand those
up. And finally, oh Jerry, did you
[32:32] » Yes.
>> I'm sorry, Mr. Mr. Schaefer. Uh I've
[32:35] been in contact with Anthony. He and I
he has filed uh several foil requests.
[32:40] » Okay.
>> Uh our IT department came back to us and
[32:42] said it was just way too broad, way too
voluminous because he said county road
[32:47] line road
10,000 emails and we're not going to be
[32:50] able to go through that. I do have a a
meeting scheduled next week with me and
[32:55] Andrew from the IT department. We're
going to have him really boil down the
[32:59] terms that he's looking for. I asked him
to give me his goal so I can work
[33:02] backwards instead of working forwards
because I honestly didn't know what he
[33:06] wanted. I have a better idea now. So,
I'm just letting you know. I didn't want
[33:09] to interrupt. Just want to let you know
he's coming in next week and we're going
[33:11] to work it out.
>> Good. No, we appreciate that. Thank you
[33:13] for letting the board know. Um,
and finally, I want to welcome our
[33:19] Eugima interns uh who are here. Raise
your hand.
[33:24] Um,
this is the 26th year of the program and
[33:31] we want to thank Tracy Fonville and
Marcus Duffin and all of the departments
[33:35] that are working directly with them. I
know the interns have been assigned out
[33:40] to either a town department or an
elected official who represents the
[33:45] Babylon area and uh they're working in
their their individual offices. so that
[33:50] I know they're having great experiences
so far in um getting to know a little
[33:56] bit about parts of the town. Um and then
uh they're going to be working through
[34:01] the end of July where they'll be able to
then celebrate at uh a wonderful dinner
[34:08] that will send them off their 11th
graders going into 12th and I think we
[34:12] pretty much have every school district
represented
[34:16] uh within the town um that are here
today. So interns, thank Tracy and
[34:20] Marcus for a job well done.
[34:28] And I know I think we're going to talk
in a few minutes uh after we finish up.
[34:32] I do have one final speaker. So we have
our supervisor for the day. So Nick, if
[34:38] you would just take the podium there,
