1
00:04:54,220 --> 00:04:54,700
It's happening ceremony.

2
00:04:57,300 --> 00:04:58,060
Is there a issue?

3
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,100
It's a cuter issue, actually. We need a new hard drive.

4
00:05:01,060 --> 00:05:01,240
Okay.

5
00:05:01,940 --> 00:05:04,380
Carol, if you would read the roll call, please.

6
00:05:06,750 --> 00:05:07,270
Present.

7
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:10,900
Here.

8
00:05:11,740 --> 00:05:12,260
Here.

9
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,260
Please join us in the Pledge of Allegiance.

10
00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:43,380
Agenda is a one-public hearing.

11
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:49,240
We have a public portion for public comment.

12
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,680
Looks like we have about ten people who have signed up.

13
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,200
If you haven't signed up, don't panic, give you a chance to raise your hand when we're

14
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,980
finished with the people who signed up, if you'd like to speak to the board.

15
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,160
And then we have our town resolutions to consider.

16
00:06:07,060 --> 00:06:17,500
So let's begin first with Mr. King, who would like to share a few words of wisdom to begin.

17
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,000
That was good, right, Hugh?

18
00:06:20,140 --> 00:06:20,520
Yeah.

19
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,820
Was that taken 14 months or something?

20
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,380
Remember you?

21
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:26,740
Are you up for re-election?

22
00:06:27,340 --> 00:06:27,600
Yeah.

23
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,720
I'm working on it, you know.

24
00:06:31,620 --> 00:06:35,340
I understand, Mr. Supervisor, you saw Stuart, or you talked to Stuart.

25
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,260
I'm glad you brought that up.

26
00:06:37,340 --> 00:06:40,480
I got a chance to see Stuart Vorpal a couple of days ago.

27
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:46,580
He looks much better, he was in great spirits, and he's eager to get back to speaking

28
00:06:46,580 --> 00:06:49,900
before the camp board and we pray that he will soon.

29
00:06:50,740 --> 00:06:53,580
He said he's not up to his usual horsepower yet,

30
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,700
but he does wish you good luck in all your endeavors tonight.

31
00:06:59,260 --> 00:07:01,600
One other thing I'm going to talk about this next time.

32
00:07:01,740 --> 00:07:04,720
This is the anniversary of the Spring's Fire Department this year.

33
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:09,720
I believe Councilman Overton is an original member of the Fire Department,

34
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:10,940
formed in 1898.

35
00:07:11,540 --> 00:07:12,980
Oh, no. Thank you.

36
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:18,180
Now, it's 19, this is the 50th anniversary of the Springs Fire Department.

37
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:26,040
Okay, the subject of a town landing field for airplanes was brought up for the first time in the summer of 1930.

38
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:33,600
A field used by Robert Appleton on further lane near the present two-mile hollow beach was being used by private planes,

39
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:38,400
and the people in the vicinity objected to the noise and low-flying planes.

40
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:44,240
Sound familiar? In October, a group called the East End Associates petitioned the

41
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:49,040
town board to find a suitable place for a landing field. The Ladies Village

42
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,300
Improvement Society lodged a protest against further noise on further lane

43
00:07:53,300 --> 00:07:59,140
and asked for a more secluded spot. Two possible sites mentioned were Hog Creek

44
00:08:00,420 --> 00:08:05,000
and Nappy Beach. Can you imagine Hog Creek? That would have been neat.

45
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:11,500
In 1932, Winter Gardner suggested the town lease its 80-acre clearing between Gardner

46
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:15,940
Dock in 3 Mile Harbor and Dub Creek for a municipal airport.

47
00:08:16,660 --> 00:08:18,600
No action was taken on this proposal.

48
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:25,380
In 1934, Leonard Edwards and J. H. L. Grower of the Civil Works Administration spoke of

49
00:08:25,380 --> 00:08:30,040
the possibility of obtaining federal CWA funds for the construction of the airport.

50
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,920
All the construction labor costs were paid for by federal funds.

51
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:41,940
The town would have to buy or lease an upland for two runways 300 feet wide and 2,500 feet

52
00:08:41,940 --> 00:08:42,320
long.

53
00:08:42,740 --> 00:08:50,820
The total cost would be $74,000, with the federal share amounting to $52,000 and the town share

54
00:08:50,820 --> 00:08:54,320
$22,000, mostly for equipment rentals.

55
00:08:55,100 --> 00:08:59,160
The figures varied later on, but the federal government paid for the lion's share of the

56
00:08:59,160 --> 00:08:59,640
construction.

57
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:05,260
However, as we shall see, government money means government control.

58
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:12,240
In December of 1934, it was suggested that the town by property between Fireplace Road

59
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:18,620
and Akabana-Kiway, a tax sale land for an airport, a legal hitch developed with the lands

60
00:09:18,620 --> 00:09:20,560
of the town abandoned the idea.

61
00:09:21,340 --> 00:09:25,880
Judge Merton Edwards, who was on the town board, how can that be?

62
00:09:26,860 --> 00:09:32,480
Remember years ago the town board consisted of the four justices of the peace and the supervisor.

63
00:09:32,820 --> 00:09:40,260
It wasn't until Lady Ecker was elected councilman in 1955 or 1965 that we had councilmen.

64
00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:48,920
Mert Edwards then proposed the town choir land at Midhamptons and applied to the federal government for funds to establish an airport.

65
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,740
Most of the land was tax-fail property. Where's Midhamptons?

66
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,040
That's where the airport is right now.

67
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:57,860
Right. Okay.

68
00:09:58,380 --> 00:10:03,560
For the next two years, Town Clerk Richard T. Gilmartin, Town Engineer John Whitby, Leonard Edwards,

69
00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:09,560
Murt Edwards, George Miller, Superintendent of the Highways, Juan Tripp, President of Pan-American Airways,

70
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,240
Supervisor Perry Durie and another supervisor, William A. Green, along with others,

71
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:19,980
wandered in and about the Mayhampens, searching for an appropriate site for the airport.

72
00:10:19,980 --> 00:10:26,720
The town originally planned to purchase 500 acres, but the federal government thought this was too much.

73
00:10:28,180 --> 00:10:32,720
So half the land went back to the county. I believe most of this land was tax sale property.

74
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,800
Next, the Civil Works Administration, official in charge of building LaGuardia Airport,

75
00:10:38,340 --> 00:10:43,480
as well as East Antman Airport said there had to be three runways instead of two.

76
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,720
This was agreed to by the town, and the fall of 1936 work began.

77
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,800
Over 100 men were employed working on the field.

78
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,800
A new entrance under the railroad track was constructed,

79
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,720
constructed, and the Wayne Scott Northwest Road

80
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,500
was diverted around the airfield instead of running through it.

81
00:11:02,380 --> 00:11:05,820
By April of 1938, the airfield was almost ready to use.

82
00:11:06,180 --> 00:11:09,120
The Town Board had hoped for a ceremonious opening

83
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,960
to tie in with National Air Week.

84
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,580
Town Clerk Bill Martin hoped a special stamp may be issued.

85
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,820
But for reasons not apparent in the minutes of the time

86
00:11:17,820 --> 00:11:23,620
that was never a grand opening. The county agreed in November of 1942 to cooperate in

87
00:11:23,620 --> 00:11:28,720
obtaining more land for the airport through condemnation proceedings. This was six years

88
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,940
after the town board originally obtained ample land only to be told by the federal government

89
00:11:33,940 --> 00:11:38,740
that they were not needing. And that is the beginning of the airport and this is the

90
00:11:38,740 --> 00:11:40,440
beginning of this meeting. Have a good one.

91
00:11:44,260 --> 00:11:45,140
No comment.

92
00:11:46,460 --> 00:11:48,640
You know we had an airstrip in Spring too, right?

93
00:11:49,260 --> 00:11:49,500
No.

94
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,560
It was one of his farm fields on a regular basis and take off from there, left his plane there,

95
00:12:01,900 --> 00:12:06,760
and also when, I believe it was Murray Ossarisi, when he moved back into Spring,

96
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,820
he also flew in and out of there on a fairly regular basis.

97
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,700
Wasn't there an airplane on Long Lane?

98
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:17,260
in east Hampton. It may have been just a farm dirt, you know, a farm field.

99
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,900
I guess what this was, a farm dirt farm field.

100
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:20,140
I'll

101
00:12:24,940 --> 00:12:25,540
have a good one.

102
00:12:44,490 --> 00:12:47,370
Section 247 of the General Municipal Law of the State of New York

103
00:12:47,370 --> 00:12:49,410
and the provisions of the East Hampton Town Code,

104
00:12:49,890 --> 00:12:52,450
the Town Board of the Town of East Hampton will hold a public hearing

105
00:12:52,450 --> 00:12:53,670
in the Town Hall Meeting Room.

106
00:12:54,450 --> 00:12:56,370
159 Pannonville Road, East Hampton Thursday.

107
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,840
APM were as soon thereafter as this matter may be heard

108
00:13:01,340 --> 00:13:04,080
concerning the following Granite Scenic and Conservation Eastman

109
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:10,440
to the town of East Hampton. The grand tour is Matthew Nadell and Amy Saminsky, scenic

110
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:16,980
and conservation easement dated February 18th at 18 San Piper Lane in Amagansett, Suffolk

111
00:13:16,980 --> 00:13:23,800
County Tax Mat 300 175 47 and the reviewing agency is Izzy B.A.

112
00:13:54,170 --> 00:13:59,650
Elaine Jones, Reg Cornelia, Jeremy Samuelson, Cindy Herbst and Bruno Schrecht.

113
00:13:59,650 --> 00:14:00,070
But

114
00:14:39,050 --> 00:14:44,190
I do know that this has been a contentious issue in East Hampton, at least since 1980.

115
00:14:45,030 --> 00:14:46,210
It goes back a long ways.

116
00:14:47,650 --> 00:14:52,970
I've been involved in trying to solve this problem for 17 years myself, kind of hard to imagine,

117
00:14:53,690 --> 00:14:54,950
older than my children.

118
00:14:56,940 --> 00:14:59,980
I know you are keenly aware that there is some...

119
00:15:00,340 --> 00:15:05,620
Significant disappointment on the part of many because one of the proposals that had been

120
00:15:05,620 --> 00:15:12,820
tabled in February for a weekend ban on helicopters is not going to move forward tonight. I just

121
00:15:12,820 --> 00:15:18,000
want to make clear, if it's not already clear for the public, that this is not because anyone

122
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:24,160
has concluded that the problem is not as serious or confounding as we had believed,

123
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:29,460
But in fact, because it is more serious and more confounding than we had believed.

124
00:15:30,180 --> 00:15:39,920
The decision not to go forward with that one proposal is out of concern about possible diversions to other airports in the area,

125
00:15:40,700 --> 00:15:45,240
in West Hampton, in South Hampton Village, and most important in Montauk.

126
00:15:45,820 --> 00:15:50,960
And what this tells us is that no one in this community is prepared to tolerate this noise.

127
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:57,700
It's no one, not in West Hampton, not in South Hampton, not in Wayne Scott, not in East Hampton and not in Montauk.

128
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:04,140
Ultimately, it is going to be brought to an end. It's just not clear standing here tonight how that is.

129
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:16,240
I want to say also to the helicopter companies, some of whom are represented here, they've in effect gotten a reprieve because of this decision.

130
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:21,880
They have another opportunity, one more year to demonstrate to this community that their

131
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:28,320
claims that it is possible to solve this problem with voluntary measures of various kinds is

132
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,840
actually true and possible.

133
00:16:30,660 --> 00:16:37,840
They now have one more opportunity after 2014, which was a big failure, to demonstrate to

134
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:43,060
us that their voluntary measures can succeed, and I heartily invite them to do that.

135
00:16:43,060 --> 00:16:47,300
But if that doesn't work, sooner or later, it's us or them.

136
00:16:48,060 --> 00:16:50,100
And we live here and we're not going anywhere.

137
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:51,240
Thank you.

138
00:16:52,780 --> 00:16:54,180
Hey, Vincent Covello.

139
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:02,200
Good evening.

140
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,640
My name is Dr. Vincent Covello.

141
00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:08,680
My wife and I have been residents in East Hampton for three decades.

142
00:17:09,660 --> 00:17:12,640
We both serve on several boards, local boards.

143
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,440
I'm a member of the World Health Organization Ebola Emergency Committee.

144
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,400
I flew here yesterday to be able to address you.

145
00:17:21,740 --> 00:17:24,360
We'll now thank you to moving from the town of East Hampton.

146
00:17:25,620 --> 00:17:29,140
We're also questioning as many others if this is the type of town

147
00:17:29,140 --> 00:17:31,220
that we want to live in for the rest of our lives.

148
00:17:32,140 --> 00:17:35,800
Last month, my wife and I wrote a letter published in the East Hampton Star

149
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,040
thanking you for the work related to airport noise.

150
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,140
We believe now that that thank you letter may have been premature.

151
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,340
We are deeply disappointed by your decision to drop the ban on helicopter traveling during

152
00:17:47,340 --> 00:17:47,740
the weekends.

153
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,080
I know you have heard many arguments born against excessive noise from the airport.

154
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,000
I would like to add several, but perhaps you have not heard before.

155
00:17:56,020 --> 00:18:00,320
First, families who live in northwest woods are currently being advised by their real

156
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,600
estate agents to not sell their property until the noise issue, particularly helicopter

157
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,200
noise, is fully resolved.

158
00:18:08,590 --> 00:18:12,450
If it is not resolved by this summer, real estate agents are advising people to hold

159
00:18:12,450 --> 00:18:17,690
on selling their property, as it will get much less than the property is worth. If this

160
00:18:17,690 --> 00:18:23,370
happens, the blame will be placed squarely on you, the Board. Families are also being

161
00:18:23,370 --> 00:18:28,750
advised to apply for property tax reduction and to consider other legal action against

162
00:18:28,750 --> 00:18:33,750
the Board. If property relief is not is granted and if production has become widely

163
00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:37,230
known, this will have a huge impact on the town's budget.

164
00:18:38,230 --> 00:18:44,270
Second, the families who live in the historic Black neighborhoods of Sac Harbor, affected

165
00:18:44,270 --> 00:18:49,170
by last year's routing of helicopters over their homes, are meeting to consider filing

166
00:18:49,170 --> 00:18:54,070
a civil rights case against the town if the routing is identified again for this summer.

167
00:18:54,850 --> 00:18:58,750
I remind you that if you allow helicopters on weekends, you will have to deal with the

168
00:18:58,750 --> 00:18:59,550
routing issue again.

169
00:19:00,370 --> 00:19:04,930
Given that the town can't advise the airport manager, as did the town board member that

170
00:19:04,930 --> 00:19:08,150
the only last year to advise pilots to take a preferred route.

171
00:19:08,950 --> 00:19:14,950
The historically black neighborhoods of Sag Harbor are prepared to file a claim of racial discrimination if this reoccurs.

172
00:19:16,050 --> 00:19:20,710
Third, Dan's paper last week compared the helicopter noise with dog poop.

173
00:19:21,630 --> 00:19:29,630
The recommendation of one flight a week by the nosy planes would be equivalent to saying a person can have dog poop once on my property

174
00:19:29,630 --> 00:19:33,070
and not pick it up as long as it is only done once a week.

175
00:19:33,070 --> 00:19:39,330
this is patly absurd. Fourth, the diversion issue related to South Hampton is

176
00:19:39,330 --> 00:19:43,370
considered by many to be a smokescreen at best and perhaps a cover-up at worst.

177
00:19:44,090 --> 00:19:50,450
South Hampton can limit helicopters on the helipad if there was an overflow

178
00:19:50,450 --> 00:19:54,750
from the east Hampton. Please do not insult our intelligence by claiming otherwise.

179
00:19:55,770 --> 00:19:59,890
Fourth, we deeply distrust the aviation lawyer advising you, Mr. Peter

180
00:19:59,890 --> 00:20:05,550
Perkersh. Mr. Kerr served previous administrations and helped create the press current mess. He

181
00:20:05,550 --> 00:20:09,870
is tainted, compromised, and has conflicts of interest. Please dismiss him.

182
00:20:11,010 --> 00:20:15,390
Finally, if there is another horrible somber helicopter noise caused by the dropping of

183
00:20:15,390 --> 00:20:20,250
the weekend ban, there will be so much outrage among the affected populations that voters

184
00:20:20,250 --> 00:20:25,950
will likely turn their anger onto the two board members of the reelection. I ask you,

185
00:20:25,950 --> 00:20:31,490
Are you willing to take the risk? Please have the courage to do what you know is right. Thank you.

186
00:20:31,710 --> 00:20:31,870
What

187
00:20:34,330 --> 00:20:35,390
do you have of all of us that...

188
00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:21,540
That there is noise emanating from aircraft, but I believe as does the memorializing statement

189
00:21:21,540 --> 00:21:27,860
that you folks are going to vote on a little bit later in the existence of a safe,

190
00:21:28,260 --> 00:21:35,360
well-maintained, efficient, well-paying airport. And to that end, I want to address

191
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:42,680
some of the statements on the town website, which provides openly a great amount of information

192
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:48,660
that we can all glean through. However, there is a statement attributed to

193
00:21:48,660 --> 00:21:57,860
Councilwoman Burke Gonzalez from April 7th about the airport. This document, posted

194
00:21:57,860 --> 00:22:04,040
on the town website, claims to offer a well-maintained safe airport entirely supported by user

195
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:11,240
groups, not costing the taxpayers anything, refusing $0.95 on the dollar from grant funds

196
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:18,140
while establishing true input for non-stakeholding towns, reducing noise, fighting lawsuits,

197
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:23,840
and moving forward on capital improvements. This is smoke reflected in distorted mirrors.

198
00:22:24,380 --> 00:22:32,040
That can't be. The claim is made that operations will be reduced by approximately 25%.

199
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:38,360
percent. Conversely, it's claimed that sufficient revenue remains to fund all desirable airport

200
00:22:38,360 --> 00:22:44,300
expenditures. But all things for all people claims in this statement, which is mirrored

201
00:22:44,300 --> 00:22:50,500
in upcoming Resolution 418, memorializing goals for the East Hampton Airport do not coincide

202
00:22:50,500 --> 00:22:58,760
with reality. It is stated that East Hampton's 2015 adopted airport budget assumes a decrease

203
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:05,420
and landing fee revenue. In reality, the Town Board passed a budget that increased the budgeted

204
00:23:05,420 --> 00:23:20,040
revenue for landing fees from $1,130,000 in 2014 to $1,446,000 in 2015 and anticipated

205
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:25,280
27% increase of the year before, or 314 grand.

206
00:23:26,020 --> 00:23:32,060
From time immemorial, the town board has been conservative on revenue projections, but not this year.

207
00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:37,980
The airport as a whole is budgeted to bring in 18% more revenue in 2015.

208
00:23:39,120 --> 00:23:49,140
Housewoman Burke Gonzalez goes on to say that unanticipated costs can be covered by the $321,000 budgeted for contingency.

209
00:23:49,780 --> 00:23:55,100
Unfortunately, any shortfalls in revenue would impact that very contingency fund.

210
00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,280
The only money coming in to pay for the airport is going to come from the squeezed users.

211
00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:03,980
The same non-existent revenue cannot be used twice.

212
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,600
There is a pledge to fight litigation, one ever and wherever.

213
00:24:09,020 --> 00:24:13,780
One has to wonder whether that pledge applies to the actions of the anti-airport zealots

214
00:24:13,780 --> 00:24:16,340
who have cost the town so much over the years.

215
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,840
That expense, so hastily adopted, can be a festering sore for years.

216
00:24:21,780 --> 00:24:26,480
Inevitably, there will be a recourse to the existing surplus gained through conservative

217
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,760
budgeting, which will diminish.

218
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,720
Already, the operational lines in the budget are being committed.

219
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:37,200
The subcontract line in the budget may have only $200,000 unencumbered of its original

220
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,100
$681,000, which is being expended on data collection.

221
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,360
History says this is not how to fund safety and maintenance.

222
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:49,500
The point of exposing the false statements made about the airport is to show that the

223
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:55,400
town board is deluding itself in its ability to fund an operational airport unless it

224
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,600
considers that its actions have consequences.

225
00:24:58,340 --> 00:25:03,900
These consequences have not been adequately considered or reviewed and one of East Hampton's

226
00:25:03,900 --> 00:25:09,600
major assets is being needlessly endangered at great potential future costs to our town.

227
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:11,060
Thank you.

228
00:25:11,300 --> 00:25:11,560
Talk

229
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,400
about something completely different than the airport.

230
00:25:27,930 --> 00:25:33,510
I only did it once before and I was, because I'm here to talk about a different three

231
00:25:33,510 --> 00:25:37,970
events, was wondering what kind of tone to take and so I'm a little relieved to

232
00:25:37,970 --> 00:25:41,350
know that I'm probably not going to be the most urgent sounding person.

233
00:25:41,650 --> 00:25:47,590
I am a resident of Dolphin Drive. It is my primary residence.

234
00:25:48,390 --> 00:25:50,890
I vote here. I may

235
00:25:57,770 --> 00:25:59,110
not have been following the story.

236
00:25:59,790 --> 00:26:05,150
This is the street in Amaganza, 20 feet wide, where after 40 years

237
00:26:05,150 --> 00:26:11,890
of signs that said no parking anytime in August, the highway department came

238
00:26:11,890 --> 00:26:16,930
and changed the signage to parking by town permit overnight.

239
00:26:17,010 --> 00:26:20,990
It was a surprise, I'm told, to the members of the board here.

240
00:26:21,050 --> 00:26:22,030
They knew nothing about it.

241
00:26:22,090 --> 00:26:23,290
Somebody else gave the order.

242
00:26:24,050 --> 00:26:27,090
The board has only compensated for that action

243
00:26:27,090 --> 00:26:31,010
or taken action on our distress about it

244
00:26:31,010 --> 00:26:33,530
by removing all signage in December.

245
00:26:34,210 --> 00:26:36,850
A resolution to restore the no parking signs

246
00:26:36,850 --> 00:26:39,230
has not to this day been voted on.

247
00:26:39,230 --> 00:26:45,790
I'm here tonight because we are about less than six weeks away from Memorial Day.

248
00:26:46,750 --> 00:26:56,510
And if we go into the existing state of no signage whatsoever, it is going to be a disaster for that street.

249
00:26:56,690 --> 00:27:01,390
I'm not here tonight talking about politics. I'm not here talking about beach access.

250
00:27:01,890 --> 00:27:07,890
I am talking about what will happen if I call an ambulance and it cannot get through.

251
00:27:07,890 --> 00:27:14,530
If you visit my street and you take a look at him narrow, it is and try the experiment as we have done

252
00:27:14,530 --> 00:27:20,450
I showed you the picture when I was here last time of what happens when you park a car in a ordinary sized car on

253
00:27:20,450 --> 00:27:24,530
Either side as your own police chief also informed you in his testimony

254
00:27:24,530 --> 00:27:31,330
You will not be able to get an ambulance through or a fire truck. That is not a tolerable situation

255
00:27:31,330 --> 00:27:35,090
We're here tonight talking about the

256
00:27:35,090 --> 00:27:42,730
the welfare and safety of your constituents, and that has got to outbalance any other consideration

257
00:27:43,260 --> 00:27:44,030
that there is.

258
00:27:44,390 --> 00:27:52,950
So I am here making the appeal to you that you step up and do the right thing and restore

259
00:27:52,950 --> 00:27:57,950
the signage to Dolphin Drive for the summer season, regardless of the political process

260
00:27:58,420 --> 00:27:59,430
going on in the background.

261
00:28:00,130 --> 00:28:09,410
It doesn't prejudice you in any way in terms of creating a management plan for the nature-preserved next door.

262
00:28:09,810 --> 00:28:16,790
It simply protects the people that you're responsible for from the consequences of not having any signs whatsoever.

263
00:28:16,990 --> 00:28:26,490
It's a matter of common sense that a complete lack of signage communicates that anybody can park anywhere at any time with or without a town permit.

264
00:28:26,490 --> 00:28:32,510
You yourselves have dealt or tried to deal in the past year or so with the issue of party

265
00:28:32,510 --> 00:28:34,690
houses in this town, share houses.

266
00:28:35,270 --> 00:28:40,830
Share houses, as they have been universally throughout the town, have been a significant

267
00:28:40,830 --> 00:28:45,610
and growingly visible problem on our beach in Amaganset.

268
00:28:46,110 --> 00:28:53,590
You can take a walk anytime during the season and you will see groups of people, alcohol,

269
00:28:53,590 --> 00:29:03,070
You will see the remnants in the mornings of illegal bonfires and so I'm very frightened that the status of dolphin drive

270
00:29:03,910 --> 00:29:04,550
without

271
00:29:06,190 --> 00:29:07,470
signage and

272
00:29:07,470 --> 00:29:10,790
With the word going around like wildfire will be

273
00:29:11,350 --> 00:29:14,970
That it will become the party beach the sharehouse Beach

274
00:29:15,590 --> 00:29:17,390
Might as well change the name of the street

275
00:29:17,390 --> 00:29:22,650
To sharehouse parking street. That's what we're going to see in the summertime

276
00:29:24,510 --> 00:29:31,650
You guys have the authority to prevent that from happening and I am here tonight asking you to exercise that authority. Thank you.

277
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:32,550
Thank you, Jonathan.

278
00:29:33,870 --> 00:29:34,750
Greg Mansley?

279
00:29:48,420 --> 00:29:55,480
Thank you very much. I'm Greg Mansley from Aberdeen. I came out here originally in 72 when we both had dark care, okay?

280
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,440
Back in the day of mortels.

281
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,980
Can we raise a little more hell in those days, I think, right?

282
00:30:00,370 --> 00:30:07,630
I know about you. We've got pictures. Anyway, I'd like to thank everyone for having me up here tonight.

283
00:30:08,450 --> 00:30:15,170
And before that, I really came from an area called the Five Towns. The Five Towns is basically you at Woodmere and so on.

284
00:30:15,730 --> 00:30:24,770
And I grew up under one of the approaches for, at that time, IdaLog Airport, all right, when they first came out with the jets, all right,

285
00:30:24,770 --> 00:30:29,870
had prop planes before that. And yes, there was a tremendous uproar about jet engines

286
00:30:29,870 --> 00:30:34,210
because the new 707s, when racing in hell when they took off, when they landed and put

287
00:30:34,210 --> 00:30:41,030
the frost reverses on, racing in hell could go miles away. That changed. And technology

288
00:30:41,030 --> 00:30:45,390
does change things. That's something we have to know about. I think that the second

289
00:30:45,390 --> 00:30:49,730
point of that is, somebody is mentioning about the fact that the house values will

290
00:30:49,730 --> 00:30:54,510
low poverty. The one in real estate, I worked with the main realtors in New York at developing

291
00:30:54,510 --> 00:31:00,990
properties, we had a big sized U.S. company, and right now I can tell you, in the five

292
00:31:00,990 --> 00:31:07,550
towns in New York, was there any suffering of the value of the houses? No. We're talking

293
00:31:07,550 --> 00:31:11,730
one of the five top zip codes in the United States. I think they challenged tag-a-ponic

294
00:31:11,730 --> 00:31:19,230
at times in so far as the value of the homes, the income of the people, and the

295
00:31:19,230 --> 00:31:21,790
and then I taught school with Bob Elby out here.

296
00:31:23,730 --> 00:31:27,030
What we really need to look at here, in my opinion,

297
00:31:27,570 --> 00:31:29,890
is I came up here to speak about one specific topic.

298
00:31:30,030 --> 00:31:33,810
Yes, it's true. The house values will come back.

299
00:31:33,970 --> 00:31:35,710
There's no issue in my mind about that.

300
00:31:36,270 --> 00:31:39,250
There's no issue in my mind that technology will probably

301
00:31:39,250 --> 00:31:41,110
be able to work something out with the helicopters,

302
00:31:41,590 --> 00:31:42,450
but that's not today.

303
00:31:42,790 --> 00:31:46,590
However, I would encourage some sort of action saying,

304
00:31:46,590 --> 00:31:52,370
Okay guys, you want to land on a weekend, have one of the new helicopters that they have, I think in Germany or wherever.

305
00:31:52,730 --> 00:31:57,530
Not much quiet in the ones we have here, all right? They're more expensive, but you know what?

306
00:31:57,750 --> 00:32:02,270
That's the price of admission, all right? If you want to be here, that's how you have to do it.

307
00:32:02,430 --> 00:32:04,290
And it's feeling more than enough money here to do that.

308
00:32:06,670 --> 00:32:12,490
The thing I'm really concerned about is, and the doctor brought it up well, is enough for Southampton.

309
00:32:13,090 --> 00:32:15,270
How well the research was done.

310
00:32:16,030 --> 00:32:18,870
I've worked with big companies, doing heavy research,

311
00:32:19,110 --> 00:32:21,810
working with Jack Welch, maybe we need a little Jack Welch here this time.

312
00:32:22,470 --> 00:32:26,950
And the thing is, why at this point in time, if the years and years and years,

313
00:32:27,230 --> 00:32:29,570
are we finding that we're pulling back something?

314
00:32:30,610 --> 00:32:32,450
I've had unspoken consequences.

315
00:32:33,550 --> 00:32:36,490
If that's the case, did anybody really do their homework?

316
00:32:37,210 --> 00:32:38,470
And that's what you're elected to do.

317
00:32:39,110 --> 00:32:40,490
You're going to do the homework for us.

318
00:32:41,270 --> 00:32:46,970
has that been done? I'm not sure and I'm concerned. If the things you're trying to

319
00:32:46,970 --> 00:32:50,930
power it past today, if the things you're trying to put through today are based

320
00:32:50,930 --> 00:32:58,090
upon false assumptions or incomplete work, why pass them? Especially when

321
00:32:58,090 --> 00:33:03,170
safety is concerned. From what I understand from the article in the East

322
00:33:03,170 --> 00:33:12,090
tempestar, the Americans understand the diversion of aircraft from East Hampton to South Hampton's

323
00:33:12,090 --> 00:33:19,710
Heliport, which is 10% of what we have, my statement from the paper, the 10% will more

324
00:33:19,710 --> 00:33:24,710
than double what they have. And they do not have, apparently, the safety equipment or

325
00:33:24,710 --> 00:33:29,770
the air traffic control required to do this. All right? What are we doing? All right?

326
00:33:29,770 --> 00:33:31,050
Are we setting up a disaster?

327
00:33:32,590 --> 00:33:33,090
I don't know.

328
00:33:33,710 --> 00:33:34,390
That's my point.

329
00:33:34,650 --> 00:33:36,590
Have we done the work that needs to be done?

330
00:33:37,030 --> 00:33:38,850
Or should we start to look at this and say,

331
00:33:39,150 --> 00:33:40,910
guys, it's time to think about it again?

332
00:33:41,750 --> 00:33:42,230
Thank you.

333
00:33:42,390 --> 00:33:42,890
Thank you, Greg.

334
00:33:43,950 --> 00:33:44,250
Elaine?

335
00:33:44,510 --> 00:33:44,970
Elaine Jones?

336
00:33:51,470 --> 00:33:52,270
Good evening.

337
00:33:54,580 --> 00:33:55,100
I'm very short.

338
00:33:57,460 --> 00:34:00,760
As I go to many meetings all over our town,

339
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,220
and I've done it for many years,

340
00:34:02,780 --> 00:34:05,120
I notice that the town doesn't have the room

341
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,360
for many of these meetings.

342
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,620
The trustee's room is so small,

343
00:34:08,620 --> 00:34:12,680
you either feel like a sardine or have to stand out in the hall where you can't hear.

344
00:34:14,900 --> 00:34:18,920
Amicants of Citizens Committee meetings are held at a little room in the library, and as

345
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,120
long as there are only a few people there, it's okay.

346
00:34:21,860 --> 00:34:26,100
Many of our buildings were neglected by the past administration, and although there

347
00:34:26,100 --> 00:34:30,900
was a money situation, there was no excuse to let go of the very people who could

348
00:34:30,900 --> 00:34:32,320
have kept these buildings repaired.

349
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:33,420
The

350
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:42,640
senior citizen centers are desperate for a new building.

351
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:48,280
The present building is a perfect example of the neglect and is dilapidated.

352
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:53,500
I met with Fred Theol on Tuesday and he suggested to me there is a very,

353
00:34:54,100 --> 00:34:59,980
there is a way, although we purchase it with CPF funds to buy back the building on 555,

354
00:35:00,100 --> 00:35:02,200
which is the former principi property.

355
00:35:04,020 --> 00:35:10,220
That building is approximately 8,000 square feet and I am told that it would not only

356
00:35:10,220 --> 00:35:16,040
service the senior citizens, it would also be a public community center or whatever

357
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,840
you want to make it in Eastampton. This building,

358
00:35:20,910 --> 00:35:22,410
I can't even read my own writing,

359
00:35:23,930 --> 00:35:27,870
this building is a gem and it's beautiful and it is beautiful.

360
00:35:28,010 --> 00:35:30,850
Everybody I've talked to said it's a beautiful building.

361
00:35:33,230 --> 00:35:36,970
You do have the property, and this is my suggestion, it's only a suggestion,

362
00:35:37,130 --> 00:35:42,110
you do have the property where the present senior citizen center is now on Springs Fireplace Road,

363
00:35:42,430 --> 00:35:45,250
which could be sold to help defray the cost.

364
00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:51,550
I know someone who paid almost $4 million for a piece of property presently on Springs Fireplace Road.

365
00:35:52,170 --> 00:35:59,690
On one hand, you have the opportunity to give an 8,000 square foot building to special interests,

366
00:35:59,690 --> 00:36:05,850
Or you can use that building and create a new citizen center, community center.

367
00:36:06,350 --> 00:36:11,230
This board would then have a legacy for supporting the entire community.

368
00:36:12,250 --> 00:36:17,690
You would have a legacy that you supported the entire community from Montauk to whatever.

369
00:36:18,170 --> 00:36:20,310
It would be a nice meeting center for people.

370
00:36:20,850 --> 00:36:25,270
One thing before you decide though is please, please have a public hearing.

371
00:36:26,030 --> 00:36:26,690
Thank you.

372
00:36:26,690 --> 00:36:30,090
Thank you Elaine. Reg Cornelia?

373
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,460
Not like you move as fast as you used to. That's

374
00:36:43,460 --> 00:36:43,860
for sure.

375
00:36:48,420 --> 00:36:53,620
My name is Reg Cornelia. I just want to address a follow-up, actually a

376
00:36:53,620 --> 00:37:00,160
couple of previous comments. The film in the movie Top Gun, whenever our time

377
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:07,200
cruise would say, I feel the need for speed, his navigator would just

378
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,520
You go, no, ma'am, don't do this, don't do this.

379
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,560
And of course, it would always lead to some sort of problem

380
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,480
for them down the road.

381
00:37:15,260 --> 00:37:16,120
Excuse me.

382
00:37:17,460 --> 00:37:24,080
I just feel that this is being rushed through.

383
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:26,200
You need to restructure.

384
00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:32,160
I don't believe the financial part of Kathy's letter.

385
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:33,840
I just don't believe that those numbers work.

386
00:37:34,180 --> 00:37:35,200
I don't believe they're on no account.

387
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,520
The list of things that you're going to consider, I'm sorry, the list of things that you're

388
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:48,940
going to consider as memorialized is a good one, except that's what we should be discussing.

389
00:37:49,180 --> 00:37:50,720
We're going to spend a lot of time on this already.

390
00:37:51,340 --> 00:37:57,300
But I think to very least, at this point, with the ban on helicopter traffic, which

391
00:37:57,300 --> 00:38:02,880
is obviously going to cause you to know, I think that you're hurrying it up unnecessarily.

392
00:38:03,540 --> 00:38:07,740
I think the unintended consequences, you mentioned technology on your last point here on the

393
00:38:09,180 --> 00:38:15,480
goals, but it doesn't mention what Mr. Lansley mentioned, which is improving the technology

394
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,080
of the aircraft, particularly of the helicopters themselves.

395
00:38:18,780 --> 00:38:20,860
I think these are the kinds of things that need to be considered.

396
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:22,440
I think this is rushing it a bit.

397
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:23,480
Thank you.

398
00:38:23,740 --> 00:38:25,180
Just hang on there, Reggie.

399
00:38:25,940 --> 00:38:26,740
I'm in a good mood.

400
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:27,780
I'm in a good mood tonight.

401
00:38:29,660 --> 00:38:31,000
No, I wanted to mention.

402
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,380
I understand that you recently escorted a group of

403
00:38:39,260 --> 00:38:39,660
Normandy,

404
00:38:43,540 --> 00:38:44,620
so many things that you've

405
00:38:44,620 --> 00:38:51,100
done on behalf of veterans, and I also understand that two of the veterans who went were World

406
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:57,820
War II veterans who served and fought at Normandy, if I'm correct, and they were Gene Beckwith

407
00:38:57,820 --> 00:38:59,020
and Joe de Christefauro.

408
00:38:59,140 --> 00:38:59,400
Is that true?

409
00:38:59,500 --> 00:38:59,880
Absolutely.

410
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,400
And say a little prayer for Joe right now.

411
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:07,100
The last two days of the trip, he was my roommate, so I'm very aware of his circumstances.

412
00:39:07,100 --> 00:39:09,040
There's these rules on these boats are pretty small.

413
00:39:10,500 --> 00:39:13,920
He is suffering a pretty severe bokeh thing right now.

414
00:39:14,060 --> 00:39:16,400
He was in South North of the hospital for a few days,

415
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,680
just came out yesterday, but I call him today again.

416
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,660
He's still feeling a little under the weather,

417
00:39:20,780 --> 00:39:23,000
but can I elaborate on that trip a little bit?

418
00:39:23,620 --> 00:39:25,340
I have a cell phone which I'm going to get to you

419
00:39:25,340 --> 00:39:27,620
so they figure I had to get him out of my smart camera,

420
00:39:27,700 --> 00:39:28,940
which I'm not smart enough to operate.

421
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,580
They, I have pictures of Joe at the D-Day Memorial

422
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,580
and at these cemeteries, which, I mean,

423
00:39:36,580 --> 00:39:41,620
that you can't help it. You just see row on row. You go over the hell and there's just

424
00:39:41,620 --> 00:39:47,460
more rows on this. Anyway, we had some very moving moments on that trail. I didn't escort

425
00:39:47,460 --> 00:39:49,900
them. I was just part of the troop.

426
00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:51,380
I'm sure you're helping out.

427
00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:55,820
Yeah, we did what we could. But it was very, people were coming up. Joe had his World

428
00:39:55,820 --> 00:40:00,200
War II veteran head on. People were literally coming up, schoolgirls kissing him. He

429
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:05,280
got kissed more than anybody, including married guys. I guarantee you that. So thank you

430
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:05,880
for your consideration.

431
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:06,640
Next.

432
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,960
Then we have Cindy Herbst and Bruno Schreck to follow.

433
00:40:29,550 --> 00:40:34,370
Good evening, Jeremy Samuelson. Concerned citizens of Montauk.

434
00:40:35,870 --> 00:40:40,150
I want to thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed airport legislation.

435
00:40:42,750 --> 00:40:49,210
You know, look, the Frank reality is that we have a noise problem now,

436
00:40:49,210 --> 00:40:54,110
And we're still going to have a noise problem after this legislation goes through.

437
00:40:54,690 --> 00:41:02,890
This is not a magic wand. You haven't pitched it as such, and I don't think anyone who wants to be forthright would describe it that way.

438
00:41:03,550 --> 00:41:09,130
What you have done is proposed a series of measured steps.

439
00:41:10,330 --> 00:41:12,150
This is not a perfect solution.

440
00:41:12,990 --> 00:41:20,490
The first attempts at addressing a problem that, as we heard earlier, goes back to the 1930s.

441
00:41:20,730 --> 00:41:27,310
First attempts to deal with problems of that magnitude rarely get the whole thing right out of the gate.

442
00:41:28,670 --> 00:41:32,410
So I want to remind you of a couple of commitments that you've made in conversations

443
00:41:32,410 --> 00:41:35,310
and ask you to stand by those as you go forward.

444
00:41:35,310 --> 00:41:43,550
As I understand it, you have agreed to monitor the impacts of this proposed legislation not

445
00:41:43,550 --> 00:41:46,430
only after the season, but on an ongoing basis.

446
00:41:47,250 --> 00:41:52,970
And I would ask you to confirm that because, you know, I think whether you live in Wayne

447
00:41:52,970 --> 00:41:59,010
Scott or Montauk or Southampton, it will go a long way to have some assurance for

448
00:41:59,010 --> 00:42:05,030
the board that if there are unintended consequences of the proposals that you're passing

449
00:42:05,030 --> 00:42:10,530
this evening that caused us to spiral out of control, you have the ability to pull back

450
00:42:10,530 --> 00:42:11,110
on the reins.

451
00:42:12,450 --> 00:42:20,750
If we need to modify our way through the summer, the proposals that are on the table now, you've

452
00:42:20,750 --> 00:42:24,610
indicated in conversations that you're willing to do that, and I would ask you to reaffirm

453
00:42:24,610 --> 00:42:24,850
that.

454
00:42:25,470 --> 00:42:31,690
In addition, I would ask you to continue along the road that you've started down

455
00:42:31,690 --> 00:42:32,790
with the diversion study.

456
00:42:32,790 --> 00:42:37,470
You know, when these proposals were first put on the board, or put out by the board,

457
00:42:37,550 --> 00:42:44,270
I should say, you know, the organization that I represent raised concerns about potential

458
00:42:44,270 --> 00:42:49,750
impacts to Montauk, and the response was to come up with the idea of a diversion study.

459
00:42:50,950 --> 00:42:54,790
And I think that was a good first step, but it's not a complete step, and again,

460
00:42:54,890 --> 00:42:57,150
to be fair, you haven't described it as a complete step.

461
00:42:57,150 --> 00:43:03,030
But the data that we have now coming into this season isn't full.

462
00:43:04,510 --> 00:43:09,150
We need to continue to develop data throughout the season, and there's a couple of very specific

463
00:43:09,150 --> 00:43:10,250
ways you can do that.

464
00:43:10,750 --> 00:43:16,730
One is to modify the noise complaint line that the town currently maintains to ensure

465
00:43:16,730 --> 00:43:23,720
that data that comes in, fresh data, is able to be tracked by Hamlet, and if it's

466
00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:26,520
outside of Eastampton Town as it currently does track that as well.

467
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:33,740
Now, as I understand the system's current configuration, it wouldn't necessarily isolate complaints

468
00:43:33,740 --> 00:43:38,600
that come out of Montauk for potentially new helicopter traffic that's out there.

469
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:40,760
That should be a pretty easy fix.

470
00:43:41,540 --> 00:43:45,200
If we don't make a fix like that now, we're going to look back over our shoulder in a

471
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,900
couple of months, and we're going to say, wow, we probably should have taken a couple

472
00:43:48,900 --> 00:43:52,720
of proactive steps to ensure that the data that you're recording this summer that's

473
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:59,380
going to inform your future decisions actually allows you to break out Montauk and the airport

474
00:43:59,380 --> 00:44:03,120
out there from the East Hampton airport. So that's something you've indicated in conversation

475
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,660
that you're willing to do and I would ask you to follow through on that.

476
00:44:06,460 --> 00:44:10,660
Similarly, I think as you went, started to go down the road of the diversion study,

477
00:44:11,180 --> 00:44:16,500
there was a long list of things that you wished you had access to in terms of data,

478
00:44:17,180 --> 00:44:21,540
you know, final destinations. Where do people go? You know, when they fly in here,

479
00:44:21,540 --> 00:44:22,820
Where are they really going?

480
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:24,380
How many are Sagaponic?

481
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:25,500
How many are Britchampton?

482
00:44:25,580 --> 00:44:26,720
How many are Montauk already?

483
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,680
To the extent that you have some ability

484
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,180
to think outside the box and start generating that data,

485
00:44:33,300 --> 00:44:36,460
I think you will be thankful when you take that look back,

486
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,300
whether it is midway through the season

487
00:44:38,300 --> 00:44:39,480
or after the season.

488
00:44:40,100 --> 00:44:42,120
We are not gonna solve this problem here tonight.

489
00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:44,500
I would suggest that the steps

490
00:44:44,500 --> 00:44:47,080
that you have proposed are reasonable steps.

491
00:44:47,220 --> 00:44:48,240
They're balanced steps.

492
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:50,400
There's two options here.

493
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:59,880
Either folks, nobody's completely happy because this thing is entirely wrong or nobody's completely happy because nobody got everything.

494
00:45:00,980 --> 00:45:05,680
I'll vote for the latter and suggest that these are reasonable, well-measured, balanced

495
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:10,740
proposals that you've put on the table. I'll thank you for your time in creating them, but

496
00:45:10,740 --> 00:45:15,140
we'll ask you to offer some assurance that you're going to take that look back and modify

497
00:45:15,140 --> 00:45:19,940
as necessary and do so with the benefit of additional data that you will have the

498
00:45:19,940 --> 00:45:24,320
ability to reflect upon because you take steps in advance of this summer. So, thank you

499
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:24,680
for your time.

500
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,820
Thank you. You're on me. Cindy Herbst. The

501
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:34,140
audience is waiting.

502
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:46,520
Good evening. I'm Cindy Herbst. I'm here tonight on behalf of Sound Aircraft Services.

503
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,540
As you are aware, Sound Aircraft is one of the fixed-based operators at East Hampton Airport.

504
00:45:51,460 --> 00:45:55,720
I've expressed my concern about the impact that the resolution is providing for a curfew

505
00:45:55,720 --> 00:46:00,040
and extended curfew for noisy aircraft and a one-trip-per-week limit on noisy aircraft

506
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,740
during the season we'll have on Sound Aircraft and on the airport overall.

507
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,360
The purpose of my comment tonight is not to restate those concerns.

508
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:24,460
Earlier this week, it came to my attention that the Town Board intends to notice a public hearing to consider a local law amending Chapter 75 Airport of the Town Code, clarifying penalties, provisions and definitions in the law, and providing for an evaluation of the effectiveness of the restrictions.

509
00:46:25,340 --> 00:46:30,560
The additional proposed law relates to the three restrictions I just referenced.

510
00:46:31,180 --> 00:46:36,860
Tonight I'm here to urge you to table a vote on the curfew, the extended curfew and the one trip per week restriction

511
00:46:36,860 --> 00:46:41,760
until such a time as those restrictions can be considered with the related proposed law

512
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:46,440
which provides the definition necessary to interpret the three restrictions.

513
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:53,660
Whether the definitions are adopted will dramatically impact how the restrictions can and will be enforced.

514
00:46:53,660 --> 00:46:57,700
Therefore, it's only fair that the four proposed laws should be considered together.

515
00:46:58,040 --> 00:46:58,440
Thank you.

516
00:46:58,680 --> 00:46:59,340
Thank you, Cindy.

517
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:08,700
I'll reflect on

518
00:47:12,820 --> 00:47:14,180
unintended consequences.

519
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:15,840
What does that reflect?

520
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,520
It reflects something that's not fully thought out.

521
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,880
Consequences, there are some, they're not known.

522
00:47:23,380 --> 00:47:25,240
And yet, even though we had four proposals,

523
00:47:25,820 --> 00:47:28,720
there's only the suggestion of pulling back on one of them.

524
00:47:29,460 --> 00:47:33,820
The other proposals have presumptions built in.

525
00:47:33,820 --> 00:47:40,880
One of the presumptions is that the airport was always intended to be for small amateur

526
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:47,840
pilots, so I forget the exact term, but basically not for commercial purposes, written right

527
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:53,160
there in the proposal when, meanwhile, we know that it was paid for by the Department

528
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:59,500
of Commerce and has always been used for commercial purposes in some sense, even having

529
00:47:59,500 --> 00:48:00,740
airlines flying.

530
00:48:00,740 --> 00:48:10,320
So the idea of unintended consequences doesn't even reflect the proper research of what's been going on and what should go on out here.

531
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:19,320
The idea that we're going to survey only noise is another way to turn you back on half the issues.

532
00:48:19,700 --> 00:48:28,320
We didn't survey, never, passenger volume, who they are, where they live, what value they bring to the community.

533
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:29,460
We know there's value.

534
00:48:29,460 --> 00:48:36,240
But instead, we have some people who will say it's only 100 pilots that we're talking about, 100 pilots.

535
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:45,080
The 100 pilots are transporting 8,600 people out here, by my estimate, but the town has never found out whether that could be true.

536
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:50,580
But it complains about the number of flights. It says 25,000 flights.

537
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:56,020
Well, are they all empty? There must be a volume of people that see the benefit of that airport.

538
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:05,180
The next thing, it has always been said that it won't affect the small local pilot.

539
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,900
Even the people opposed to the airport have always said,

540
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,880
oh, it's not about you guys with the little single engine plane.

541
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:20,080
And now the proposal that you're about to rule on says that you can't fly in from 11 to 7.

542
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:21,740
You can't fly in.

543
00:49:21,740 --> 00:49:28,040
You could be stuck with weather out west and you're going to show up a half an hour late because of the weather.

544
00:49:28,540 --> 00:49:31,760
You can't get home without paying $1,000 fine.

545
00:49:32,460 --> 00:49:40,360
And how many times in the summer do we have bad enough weather that you're not going to be paying $2,000 the next time, $3,000 the next time?

546
00:49:40,500 --> 00:49:41,440
That's what you're proposing.

547
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:47,780
So it's about even the small planes, even the local people.

548
00:49:49,190 --> 00:49:57,830
And anyway, it sounds like we're about to rule on something that hasn't been fully thought out.

549
00:49:58,290 --> 00:50:03,930
It's a rush to judgment, and we're going to pay a price, and we don't even know what it is.

550
00:50:04,350 --> 00:50:04,730
Thank you.

551
00:50:04,810 --> 00:50:05,290
Thank you, Bruno.

552
00:50:06,430 --> 00:50:08,950
Anyone else who has not been heard like Charles?

553
00:50:39,610 --> 00:50:44,030
Months and months and years and thousands and thousands of hours of your time

554
00:50:44,030 --> 00:50:48,730
and your advisory committee's time have gone into this.

555
00:50:49,330 --> 00:50:55,170
So for the three proposals that I think about to enact, do it.

556
00:50:56,630 --> 00:51:01,870
And with respect to the, and of course, along with that,

557
00:51:02,290 --> 00:51:07,370
the notion that you're going to continually monitor what's going on.

558
00:51:07,750 --> 00:51:12,750
And we would endorse the notion that you should monitor starting the first day

559
00:51:12,750 --> 00:51:18,330
that these laws are in place, and perhaps be prepared to make changes during the summer.

560
00:51:18,890 --> 00:51:23,950
And we would argue that you should keep an open mind that one of the changes that you

561
00:51:23,950 --> 00:51:30,530
might adopt during the summer, if the data supports it, would be the ban on helicopters

562
00:51:30,530 --> 00:51:33,110
that would have been your item number four.

563
00:51:34,050 --> 00:51:38,690
With respect to the unanticipated consequences,

564
00:51:40,780 --> 00:51:42,540
I'd like to speak to just one point.

565
00:51:42,540 --> 00:51:48,020
It's been asserted that, including one comment here tonight,

566
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:56,880
that a possible divergence from East Hampton to South Hampton might double their traffic.

567
00:51:57,900 --> 00:52:07,340
Well, whoever talks about that doesn't note that the heliport at South Hampton is subject to

568
00:52:07,340 --> 00:52:12,180
complete control on the part of the village of Southampton.

569
00:52:12,660 --> 00:52:14,440
They have never had federal money.

570
00:52:15,180 --> 00:52:18,660
They have at least as much control over that heliport

571
00:52:18,660 --> 00:52:19,580
as you have here.

572
00:52:19,660 --> 00:52:22,120
And they have imposed over the years restrictions.

573
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:27,760
And they could completely avoid that increase

574
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,740
if they were to do so, if they wanted to do so.

575
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:32,540
They have the legal authority to do it.

576
00:52:33,140 --> 00:52:35,580
So the stuff that you've heard from the Southampton

577
00:52:35,580 --> 00:52:44,260
people about that is pure baloney and I thank you. Thank you Charles. We'll get back to

578
00:52:44,260 --> 00:52:45,120
anyone who views

579
00:52:53,860 --> 00:52:54,560
after we get there.

580
00:52:57,690 --> 00:53:01,510
No prepared remarks. Again, I want to compliment Kathy

581
00:53:01,510 --> 00:53:07,590
Berkins-Alles in particular and the whole board for taking a huge step forward in terms

582
00:53:07,590 --> 00:53:10,730
of noise abatement. It's been a long time coming.

583
00:53:13,050 --> 00:53:14,670
And I want to respond to something

584
00:53:14,670 --> 00:53:23,650
that Mr. Samuelson said, and really take it a couple of steps further, the non-system

585
00:53:23,650 --> 00:53:29,870
from Vector that you're going to vote on tonight gives you the ability for the first

586
00:53:29,870 --> 00:53:37,910
time to correlate complaints with actual flights. And that's huge. I mean, the landing,

587
00:53:37,910 --> 00:53:46,870
The data we were getting from Vector last year was landings only because that's what they were billing for, that was their purpose.

588
00:53:47,510 --> 00:53:55,190
We now will have the ability not only to look at landings but departures and to correlate those with complaints.

589
00:53:58,650 --> 00:54:06,610
Just speaking much more broadly, I think that it's important to develop a study protocol

590
00:54:07,500 --> 00:54:12,670
even before the summer starts to decide what it is you really want to look at during the

591
00:54:12,670 --> 00:54:18,150
summer and after the summer in the event that you feel the need to make amendments

592
00:54:18,150 --> 00:54:25,190
to the law is going forward, and I haven't really thought through how to put that together,

593
00:54:25,350 --> 00:54:29,090
but I think there are a number of people in this room who should participate in that.

594
00:54:30,950 --> 00:54:38,470
And one other housekeeping item, there is one, according to the whereas clauses in here,

595
00:54:39,110 --> 00:54:45,990
there is one public meeting at a place in the year 3,014, so you might want to correct that.

596
00:54:47,570 --> 00:54:49,510
October 30th, 3,000, 14th.

597
00:55:06,940 --> 00:55:08,620
First of all, I want to thank

598
00:55:08,620 --> 00:55:13,040
Town Planning Director Marguerite Wilson for reminding all of us

599
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:17,020
that we have an awesome master plan. It's a plan many of us

600
00:55:17,020 --> 00:55:21,400
worked on, long and hard, and it's a plan that points out

601
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,860
that our economy relies on our environment and not

602
00:55:24,860 --> 00:55:27,380
how many helicopters we can land on a Friday afternoon.

603
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:34,280
People don't come here. They don't rent here. They don't buy here, based on how fast they can get here.

604
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:39,420
They come, they rent, and they buy here, because it's really nice here.

605
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:44,380
And each summer, each season, gets a little less noise.

606
00:55:45,380 --> 00:55:47,280
Because there are no rules that are appropriate.

607
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,460
None. Zero. Zeroch. Nada.

608
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,600
The noted statesman, Dominic Stanzione, once said.

609
00:55:56,300 --> 00:55:57,860
Yeah, just step back on the mic.

610
00:55:57,980 --> 00:55:58,060
Sure.

611
00:55:58,280 --> 00:55:58,760
Just a little.

612
00:55:59,820 --> 00:56:00,340
There you go.

613
00:56:00,780 --> 00:56:01,080
Out there?

614
00:56:01,580 --> 00:56:01,960
That's perfect.

615
00:56:02,500 --> 00:56:03,680
I can do it without a microphone.

616
00:56:04,300 --> 00:56:05,120
I'm sure you can.

617
00:56:05,140 --> 00:56:05,940
I'll just go for it here.

618
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:11,400
The noted statesman, Dominic Stanzione, once said that when it comes to airport noise

619
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:12,600
we should all share the pain.

620
00:56:13,460 --> 00:56:18,460
Probably don't need to remind us that in the town board election shortly after Stanzione's

621
00:56:18,460 --> 00:56:22,160
John's remark, the one-term Solomon of the skies finished to distant last.

622
00:56:22,900 --> 00:56:28,280
As it turns out, Mayor Mark Epley of Southampton Village doesn't want to share the pain.

623
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:33,840
And the Throne Host, supervisor of Southampton Town, doesn't want to share the pain.

624
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:39,120
Jeremy Sammelson, Concerned Citizens of Montauk, they don't want to share the pain.

625
00:56:39,980 --> 00:56:46,080
It amazes me that instead of looking for volunteers to share pain, these and other politicians

626
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:50,340
like you, can't simply say, there's no need for any pain.

627
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,940
There's no need for commuter helicopters on the East End.

628
00:56:56,300 --> 00:57:01,600
Snake oil salesman from Saqqaq is one to sell his ferries, helicopters, submarines.

629
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:08,060
We've heard it all. We'll fly friendly. We'll fly higher. We'll fly over water.

630
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:12,680
None of it happens, and some of it is, in fact, impossible.

631
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:19,980
Noted, Geographer Barry Raybeck asked, how is it possible to have an overwater route to a landlocked airport?

632
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:28,240
Like others, I'm torn between disgust at the lack of ability to follow through now on what we all know has to happen

633
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:32,040
and joy at the fact that we are finally doing something.

634
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,200
So for now, I'll just say thanks for doing something.

635
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,120
Let's keep working towards doing the right thing.

636
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:45,400
I just wanted to say two things about things that people have said rushing this through.

637
00:57:46,140 --> 00:57:51,160
Well, I was on the noise abatement committee, and we met every other week for hours and hours on end,

638
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:56,300
for more than a year. Hours of questions, data, research, answers, alternatives.

639
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,160
Now, the pilots had a committee as well, and they had the same opportunity.

640
00:58:00,740 --> 00:58:04,840
They met once and concluded they were better off not being part of the solution,

641
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:10,560
waiting until the process concluded, now showing up and then arguing against the process

642
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:13,480
because they fail every time, dealing with the facts.

643
00:58:14,420 --> 00:58:16,860
As for CCOM, almost three years ago,

644
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:22,220
Quiet Sky's founders went out to Montauk, met with them, and offered them a place at the table.

645
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:26,280
CCOM said, not our problem. I guess it is now.

646
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:28,560
The solution is very clear here.

647
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:33,040
No commuter helicopters, meaningful curfews, real noise abatement.

648
00:58:39,670 --> 00:58:40,190
Good

649
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:52,960
evening,

650
00:58:58,420 --> 00:59:00,480
information on who owns Southampton Heliport.

651
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:02,380
Jeff, could you just state your name for the rest?

652
00:59:02,380 --> 00:59:04,500
I'm sorry, Jess Smith with the Eastern Region Helicopter Council.

653
00:59:04,660 --> 00:59:08,360
I think there needs to be more looking into who owns Southampton Heliport

654
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,860
and how the restrictions are going to impact that.

655
00:59:13,980 --> 00:59:17,620
Estimating how operators will react to the proposed restrictions

656
00:59:17,620 --> 00:59:21,040
involves a high degree of uncertainty.

657
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:26,560
The initial estimates are based on experience from other new ways impacted general aviation

658
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:33,340
airports but do not reflect survey data or other direct information from HTO operators.

659
00:59:34,060 --> 00:59:39,180
Surveys are unlikely to provide reliable information about potential responses because of competition

660
00:59:39,180 --> 00:59:43,940
among carriers providing air service and privacy concerns among their passengers.

661
00:59:44,500 --> 00:59:48,120
As a result, the estimates are subject to change in the future as additional data

662
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:48,980
becomes available.

663
00:59:48,980 --> 00:59:56,860
I did not say this. This was a new report sent to you from Peter Stump, your diversion study consultant. Thank you.

664
00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:58,820
Thank you, Jeff.

665
01:00:11,470 --> 01:00:18,700
Good evening. I want to start by thanking you for the proposals that you guys have considered.

666
01:00:19,540 --> 01:00:22,200
And even bringing that up is an important step.

667
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:27,120
And that can't go overlooked by anybody here, and I don't think it is.

668
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:29,860
But, as Mr. McDivin said...

669
01:00:29,860 --> 01:00:31,200
You could just identify yourself.

670
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:37,580
Oh, Walker Braggman, 26 years old, registered voter in this town.

671
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:39,080
And I grew up here.

672
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:48,960
And as I got older, I saw a lot of people that I cared about move away because they could no longer afford to live here.

673
01:00:49,340 --> 01:00:56,600
And every time somebody has come to this town and said, we have to do this or else, the economy will suffer.

674
01:00:57,380 --> 01:01:03,520
Well, and we do it. The economy suffers anyway, and the community suffers anyway.

675
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:07,560
and people that we know for years leave.

676
01:01:08,180 --> 01:01:09,480
And I don't like that trend.

677
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,980
And the airport issue is another issue like that,

678
01:01:14,060 --> 01:01:15,620
where one side has told us,

679
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,700
we need to keep it the way it is,

680
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:19,780
we need it unregulated,

681
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:21,740
because otherwise the economy will suffer.

682
01:01:21,980 --> 01:01:22,940
Well, guess what?

683
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:24,440
No, it won't.

684
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:27,460
It absolutely won't.

685
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:28,440
This is the Hanson's.

686
01:01:28,620 --> 01:01:29,300
We have the beaches.

687
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:30,760
We've got quiet.

688
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,040
And people are going to come here no matter what.

689
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:34,260
They've been coming here for years.

690
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:39,520
And the weekend ban on helicopters is a great idea.

691
01:01:39,940 --> 01:01:42,480
It's a great idea, and it's something that we need.

692
01:01:43,340 --> 01:01:47,440
But if this board doesn't have the ability to pass that now,

693
01:01:47,860 --> 01:01:50,480
then it should strongly consider it in the future.

694
01:01:50,980 --> 01:01:53,060
Because who does this town really serve?

695
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:56,000
Who are we in this town?

696
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:59,820
Are we a Washington Aviation Lobby, or are we a community?

697
01:02:00,740 --> 01:02:01,780
I think we're a community.

698
01:02:03,140 --> 01:02:05,740
And that's really all I've got to say. Thank you very much.

699
01:02:05,860 --> 01:02:06,760
Thanks for being here, Walker.

700
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,160
Anyone else who has not been heard that would like to be heard?

701
01:02:20,130 --> 01:02:20,710
Purple Blouse.

702
01:02:20,910 --> 01:02:22,130
Purple Blouse.

703
01:02:22,250 --> 01:02:25,210
Looking around, thinking I'm pointing to somebody else.

704
01:02:25,630 --> 01:02:26,850
I'm pointing to you.

705
01:02:28,410 --> 01:02:29,930
And then I think we had Edwin.

706
01:02:30,950 --> 01:02:35,150
Edwin, did you have your April at worst of wisdom for us?

707
01:02:38,940 --> 01:02:43,180
Before I start my little tirade that I wrote down, that's where I'm late.

708
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,160
I'm sorry, could you just state your name please?

709
01:02:45,540 --> 01:02:47,440
John Palumbo from Montauk.

710
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:54,420
And in the old days I had commercial pilots raiding.

711
01:02:54,640 --> 01:03:03,840
My first cross country was from Amityville to your airport over here in East Hampton.

712
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:09,660
When I got out of my airplane, there was Cliff Robertson, and that just like made my day.

713
01:03:09,780 --> 01:03:11,120
I thought this was so groovy.

714
01:03:11,700 --> 01:03:20,240
But in those days, back, I don't know, many, many moons, it was only civil aviation here.

715
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:22,240
I flew out of Long Island.

716
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:30,840
I needed a flying service, which was in competition with republics, so we had quite a to-do over there.

717
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:39,680
and it was always small airplanes except a couple of guys had patrol aircraft which came

718
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:43,420
in and made a big-noise statement.

719
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,620
Anyway, this is what I wrote down.

720
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:50,140
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen and elected board members.

721
01:03:50,500 --> 01:03:56,320
My name is Joan Palumbo and I speak tonight on behalf of myself, my family, and unbeknownst

722
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:58,460
to them some citizens in Montauk.

723
01:03:58,460 --> 01:04:03,860
I have a few questions and a few points to make, so I wish that you will bear with me.

724
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:10,700
If East Hampton Airport is closed to air traffic between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.,

725
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:16,760
does that mean that between 11 or 1 p.m. and 6.59 a.m.,

726
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:23,240
Montauk will be receiving the consummate noise and potential accident effluent?

727
01:04:24,060 --> 01:04:27,960
How will passengers be transported to and from their destinations?

728
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:33,060
Route 27 through Amagansett is dark and congested at night.

729
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,000
In fact, there was a man killed there last year.

730
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:42,220
The forest through Deer Park Disney World is perilous.

731
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:48,140
And Montauk, which is party-hardy in the middle of town on Route 27,

732
01:04:49,020 --> 01:04:51,460
is awash with bodies all night long.

733
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,920
Montauk is a working community with a capital W,

734
01:04:55,920 --> 01:05:00,420
which stands for working, which I guess requires no sleep.

735
01:05:01,260 --> 01:05:09,940
The Long Island railroad diesels that discourage throughout the South Fork are parking-lotted year-round in Montauk

736
01:05:09,940 --> 01:05:15,600
with their pulsating engines this past week starting at 4 a.m. in the morning,

737
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,780
as if they were jets that never take off.

738
01:05:19,100 --> 01:05:24,520
The noise deflects off of Fort Pong Lake into everyone's bedrooms

739
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:30,500
as you know water does not absorb sound waves. Would that these were these

740
01:05:30,500 --> 01:05:36,480
entitled disturb- disturbers of the peace parked all night in East Hampton I

741
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:44,000
would assume there would be tumultuous human cry. Montauk also has a severe

742
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:52,700
summer long spring break atmosphere that issues from anything for buck joints

743
01:05:52,700 --> 01:06:00,580
with noise, noise, noise. These lists go on and on that there are concerns beyond the

744
01:06:00,580 --> 01:06:09,600
auditory rampage. Besides your ears, does anyone have eyes? Look up and look for a pure

745
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:18,540
blue sky with sometimes billowy clouds. What do you see? Do you see? What are those planes

746
01:06:18,540 --> 01:06:24,640
doing up there using our sacred skies to mark them with graffiti as if they were

747
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:31,620
subways. What are they spraying wherever I go? Florida, Maine, the Smokies,

748
01:06:31,900 --> 01:06:37,920
Albuquerque this past year, this afternoon in Montauk. These are not

749
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:43,700
contrails which dissipate in a few minutes. They remain and coalesce and

750
01:06:43,700 --> 01:06:50,700
blur together to create an almost constant haze. The analysis of the makeup is not pretty

751
01:06:50,700 --> 01:06:56,240
unless you believe that aluminum and barium etc are good for you, our dear earth and all

752
01:06:56,240 --> 01:07:03,220
that struggles to survive on it. I have just one more little thing. I know it's off the

753
01:07:03,220 --> 01:07:10,520
point but it has to do with our health. Another 30 seconds of the play. We are paying for

754
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:16,640
this poison. Why don't you know anything about what you're paying for? When I travel, I ask

755
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:22,320
questions. Sometimes people know what I'm talking about and are very helpful. Sometimes they

756
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:27,940
will tell me which airfields these pilots are flying out of. Sometimes I stop at Native

757
01:07:27,940 --> 01:07:33,420
American reservations or what Russell Means used to call before he died concentration

758
01:07:33,420 --> 01:07:42,560
camps and what many are aware of these many people know what's going on. I do

759
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:47,740
believe that this endless weather modification almost preempts all of

760
01:07:47,740 --> 01:07:51,060
our other whiny disquietude. Thank you for your time.

761
01:07:51,460 --> 01:07:51,960
Thank you Jane.

762
01:07:55,060 --> 01:07:55,340
April?

763
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:24,900
I just want to tell you that the airport was built by the three seas in

764
01:08:24,900 --> 01:08:31,700
late 1930s. I don't think that comes under the Department of Commerce. The

765
01:08:31,700 --> 01:08:37,080
three C's were not set up to be operated by the Department of Commerce. I don't

766
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:43,940
think, do you? I don't know. I don't think so. Anyway, it provided the airport

767
01:08:43,940 --> 01:08:49,280
provided jobs for a lot of men in this town during the deep depression when

768
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:53,760
there was just nothing for anyone. And they were the ones that laid the

769
01:08:53,760 --> 01:09:03,160
tracks in the runway originally. I wanted also my main purpose for standing up

770
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:10,720
here is that I want to protest the discourtesy of aircraft owners who fly

771
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:17,940
over my house regularly at 4 a.m. I probably have a rotten disposition

772
01:09:17,940 --> 01:09:19,060
because of them.

773
01:09:27,980 --> 01:09:34,100
I'm also furious with those who think it's fun to fly at 2 a.m.

774
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:42,180
They do, and they come right over my house. I don't need more studies or

775
01:09:42,180 --> 01:09:51,620
examinations, or tests, or experts, or any other type of thing, to know how much these

776
01:09:51,620 --> 01:09:55,020
planes and copters are interfering with my life.

777
01:09:55,800 --> 01:10:06,840
And I urge immediate adoption of this much needed legislation, and I thank you for all

778
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:07,260
your work.

779
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:37,020
It's not a big speech. It's just to answer the ladies question.

780
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:41,600
I want to get into a back and forth.

781
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:46,240
It was the Department of Interior, Department of Commerce that paid for it.

782
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:52,920
I don't know if the CCC, they provided labor, but it was Department of Commerce money.

783
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:58,060
And I based this on an article in the East Hampton Star in 1937.

784
01:10:58,740 --> 01:11:01,080
It was one of the articles on my big poster.

785
01:11:01,900 --> 01:11:03,980
And it's still available online.

786
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:05,860
Were it part of the WPA program?

787
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:06,980
Well, yeah.

788
01:11:07,220 --> 01:11:10,660
But it's under the auspices of the Department of Commerce.

789
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:17,680
And it was the Department of Commerce people that flew in and the town board showed

790
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:19,600
up at the airport to thank them for the money.

791
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:20,620
Thank you.

792
01:11:23,100 --> 01:11:23,540
David.

793
01:11:23,540 --> 01:11:24,440
for

794
01:11:31,060 --> 01:11:32,160
the second opportunity.

795
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:37,280
I just want to correct the record about something, changing hats.

796
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:42,340
It's been said here this evening that you have rushed to judgment.

797
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:45,300
I want to reiterate part what Charles said.

798
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:50,720
The committee that I chaired has been meeting every two weeks for more than a year, about

799
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:55,260
14 months, produced 13 sets of findings and a final report.

800
01:11:55,820 --> 01:12:01,820
You've had, I think, no less than four professional studies on which you are basing your actions.

801
01:12:02,540 --> 01:12:10,400
There was a committee parallel to my own of aviation interests that met as frequently as it chose to.

802
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:16,380
And what not everyone is aware of is that there was also a financial advisory committee

803
01:12:16,380 --> 01:12:22,100
chaired by Arthur Malman, in which there were both aviation representatives and community representatives.

804
01:12:22,100 --> 01:12:29,960
That committee concluded a year ago, back in April, in a motion that was adopted unanimously.

805
01:12:30,440 --> 01:12:37,240
It was moved by Tom Toomey before his very unfortunate death and seconded by me.

806
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:42,340
And that resolution advised the board that the airport could be financially self-sustaining

807
01:12:42,340 --> 01:12:47,500
without any helicopter traffic at all. And that finding still stands.

808
01:12:47,500 --> 01:12:51,460
The reason is that contrary to what you heard here tonight,

809
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:57,920
it is not the case that the airport landing fees were $1.1 million last year,

810
01:12:58,300 --> 01:13:00,880
they were $1.7 million last year.

811
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:05,880
And the airport has more than enough money at its current level to sustain

812
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:12,860
all of the capital expenditures that it needs to pay an extravagant litigation budget.

813
01:13:12,860 --> 01:13:18,300
Yes, if traffic is reduced, something will have to be done to replace that revenue.

814
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:26,000
I'm quite confident that the very well-heeled travelers to East Hampton can pay a modest increase.

815
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:29,300
It would be for a small aircraft $6 per landing.

816
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:36,260
For Gulfstream 5, it would amount to three additional minutes of travel time, the equivalent cost.

817
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:42,400
I'm sure that can be sustained and that the finding of a year ago that the airport is financially self-sustaining

818
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:47,220
without any helicopter traffic at all will certainly be true now that there's

819
01:13:47,220 --> 01:13:51,180
going to be still substantial helicopter traffic. Thank you.

820
01:13:55,490 --> 01:13:57,190
Susan has not spoken, Susan.

821
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:04,340
Am I far enough away? You can hear me?

822
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:09,340
I had not planned to speak. I'm Susan McGraw-Kieber. I live in Eastampton.

823
01:14:09,500 --> 01:14:14,020
You all know me. Thank you so much for having the meeting this evening for the public.

824
01:14:14,580 --> 01:14:18,180
I just have a quick question because this came to my mind today,

825
01:14:18,180 --> 01:14:23,620
and I am wondering if anybody else has wondered about it, I'm sure you have, but the helicopters

826
01:14:23,620 --> 01:14:29,380
are the single most egregious aircraft for our home in particular.

827
01:14:29,620 --> 01:14:38,060
The other things I can deal with, but the helicopters are the main disturbance over

828
01:14:38,060 --> 01:14:43,040
our house, and I'm wondering, since I have been looking up the helicopter companies

829
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:49,380
that are taxi companies for commuters, I believe that we're going to be able to

830
01:14:49,380 --> 01:14:53,360
record their numbers when they land, and that's a way that we'll know that they

831
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:58,440
come in once a week, but many of them don't own their own aircraft. They lease

832
01:14:58,440 --> 01:14:59,720
them, so

833
01:15:00,020 --> 01:15:07,880
It seems to me that they'll just start rotating, and that means one per week will be 10 per week or 20 per week.

834
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:11,380
I don't know how many aircraft are owned by each of these companies.

835
01:15:12,100 --> 01:15:17,040
So is there a way that you have already thought about, you know, how to address that?

836
01:15:17,860 --> 01:15:22,760
I don't know. But it came to mind, and I'm trying to figure this out because it does...

837
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:25,140
I'm sure they're going to figure out a way to get around that.

838
01:15:25,540 --> 01:15:29,260
So I don't know. It's just a thought, and I wanted to pass it along because I am...

839
01:15:29,260 --> 01:15:29,260
No

840
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:34,320
one else who has not been heard that would like to be heard.

841
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,080
Okay, I think completed

842
01:15:40,060 --> 01:15:40,580
our public.

843
01:15:51,160 --> 01:16:01,860
Resolution 2015-401 is approval of claims for warrant 4b for totals $1,551,348.32

844
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:07,820
and utility warrant that totals $141,310.66.

845
01:16:08,500 --> 01:16:09,020
Second.

846
01:16:09,020 --> 01:16:09,920
September

847
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:21,830
a mini bus driver Debra Morici to the Human Services Department at the hourly rate of 30 second

848
01:16:21,830 --> 01:16:22,470

reconstruction of highway truck and acquisition and installation of bleachers again these capital

854
01:17:09,440 --> 01:17:10,300
projects are class

855
01:18:21,440 --> 01:18:25,240
H14006 it's the semi-annual contract for the supply

856
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:35,640
to extend another contract

857
01:18:36,980 --> 01:18:41,360
EH14042 again the semi-annual contract for the supply and delivery of groceries this was from

858
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:42,680
october 2014 number

859
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:17,880
11 is to adopt local law amending chapter 75 of the town code regulating

860
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:20,700
night-time operation of aircraft at East Hampton Airport.

861
01:19:23,430 --> 01:19:23,970
Second.

862
01:19:36,070 --> 01:19:42,730
2015-412 is to adopt local law amending Chapter 75 of the Town Code, regulating evening, night-time,

863
01:19:42,810 --> 01:19:46,110
and early morning operations of noisy aircraft at East Hampton Airport.

864
01:19:49,140 --> 01:19:49,540
Second.

865
01:19:59,510 --> 01:20:05,770
2015-413 is to adopt local law amending Chapter 75 of the Town Code, regulating operation

866
01:20:05,770 --> 01:20:07,770
of noisy aircraft at East Hampton Airport.

867
01:20:08,170 --> 01:20:12,170
This is the one trip a week, and this is where Peter found on page 35 we need to

868
01:20:12,170 --> 01:20:17,630
correct, the third whereas it's the October 30th, 2014, 24th.

869
01:20:19,570 --> 01:20:20,670
Seconded as amended.

870
01:20:21,470 --> 01:20:22,690
We'll have a roll call on that.

871
01:20:23,470 --> 01:20:24,150
Thank you.

872
01:20:24,410 --> 01:20:26,710
Thank you for giving me a chance to speak.

873
01:20:27,710 --> 01:20:31,330
I'd like to start by thanking Kathy and all of the airport

874
01:20:31,330 --> 01:20:35,030
committees and the various attorneys for getting us

875
01:20:35,030 --> 01:20:35,870
to this point.

876
01:20:36,210 --> 01:20:38,290
It's a very deliberate and exhausting process.

877
01:20:39,130 --> 01:20:41,110
And I appreciate that my colleagues are trying very

878
01:20:41,110 --> 01:20:47,530
hard to achieve a balance between restrictions at the airport, operations, and the needs

879
01:20:47,530 --> 01:20:52,610
of the community. I believe that for the two of the restrictions, the balance requires

880
01:20:52,610 --> 01:20:58,290
that we impose nighttime, evening, and morning curfews. I also appreciate that there is no

881
01:20:58,290 --> 01:21:02,930
clear answer to the balancing and that our job as town board members is to review

882
01:21:02,930 --> 01:21:08,410
the data and to reach the conclusion that we believe is best after reviewing the

883
01:21:08,410 --> 01:21:13,950
data, I do not believe that the balancing requires the two operations per week restriction.

884
01:21:14,770 --> 01:21:19,810
This restriction will seriously inconvenience airport users, and I'm not yet convinced that

885
01:21:19,810 --> 01:21:22,710
it will produce as many benefits as my colleagues believe.

886
01:21:23,570 --> 01:21:27,810
I would prefer to conduct the balancing in a manner that slightly favors the users

887
01:21:27,810 --> 01:21:28,410
at the airport.

888
01:21:29,350 --> 01:21:33,870
I respect and support the concept that the town board should reevaluate restrictions

889
01:21:33,870 --> 01:21:40,990
after the end of the 2015 session, concerned that politically it will be difficult for

890
01:21:40,990 --> 01:21:44,510
this Board to relax restrictions that are already in place.

891
01:21:45,470 --> 01:21:50,470
Therefore, I favor an approach which does not try to adopt all the possible restrictions

892
01:21:50,470 --> 01:21:50,990
at once.

893
01:21:51,610 --> 01:21:53,850
Instead, I favor an incremental approach.

894
01:21:54,450 --> 01:22:00,550
Let's impose the fewest restrictions possible, and if it proves unnecessary, we can impose

895
01:22:00,550 --> 01:22:02,010
additional restrictions next year.

896
01:22:02,010 --> 01:22:06,390
I think that that approach is politically more realistic than the possibility that the

897
01:22:06,390 --> 01:22:11,230
Town Board will reduce or eliminate restrictions at the end of the 2015 season.

898
01:22:12,070 --> 01:22:15,650
I remain concerned about the diversion of traffic to other airports.

899
01:22:16,370 --> 01:22:21,570
I appreciate that no one can, no one advance exactly how airport users will react to the

900
01:22:21,570 --> 01:22:21,990
restrictions.

901
01:22:22,530 --> 01:22:27,730
But I am not as willing as my colleagues to take a risk that traffic will be diverted

902
01:22:27,730 --> 01:22:28,510
to other airports.

903
01:22:29,270 --> 01:22:34,970
And finally, we need to be realistic about litigation. Simply stated, I believe that

904
01:22:34,970 --> 01:22:40,110
more restrictions we adopt, the greater the cost and complexity of litigation. We cannot

905
01:22:40,110 --> 01:22:45,090
prevent litigation, but we can reduce the number of parties who would have an incentive

906
01:22:45,090 --> 01:22:50,690
to sue. I believe that we will reduce our litigation exposure if we adopt just the

907
01:22:50,690 --> 01:22:54,510
curfews at this time and not the limit of two operations per week.

908
01:23:08,140 --> 01:23:12,720
I. Councilman Alburton. No. Supervisor Cantlow. Aye.

909
01:23:38,940 --> 01:23:42,240
15-414 is to amend the 2015 Grant

910
01:23:42,240 --> 01:23:47,800
Agreement with Family Service League. The grant is still $50,000. We just had to revise Schedule

911
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:51,380
A. Second. All those in favor? Aye.

912
01:23:53,480 --> 01:23:56,520
15-415 is to authorize an order on consent with the

913
01:23:56,520 --> 01:24:03,800
Suffolk County Health Services in the amount of $2,250. Second. All those in favor? Aye.

914
01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:04,500
So carry.

915
01:24:04,980 --> 01:24:11,840
Force 16 is to pay a prior invoice to ECHO Lab for a dishwasher rental in the amount

916
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:13,100
of $122.95.

917
01:24:13,820 --> 01:24:14,200
Second.

918
01:24:14,620 --> 01:24:14,760
To

919
01:24:17,990 --> 01:24:21,590
authorize three appraisals of the industrial park and one to

920
01:24:26,550 --> 01:24:28,210
memorialize eight goals for

921
01:24:28,210 --> 01:24:32,330
the East Hampton Airport to maintain the airport is safe and efficient, to enact the

922
01:24:32,330 --> 01:24:34,690
local laws, study the effectiveness of

923
01:24:36,770 --> 01:24:39,010
an advisory committee, coordinate with the

924
01:24:39,010 --> 01:24:43,290
congressional delegation, partner with Eastern Region Helicopter Council, work

925
01:24:43,290 --> 01:24:47,410
with the FAA on flight tracks. Second,

926
01:24:53,910 --> 01:24:55,070
various cap will improve.

927
01:25:00,910 --> 01:25:02,370
Councilwoman Burke on dollars.

928
01:25:02,570 --> 01:25:03,930
Aye. Councilman Vance Goya.

929
01:25:04,150 --> 01:25:05,450
Aye. Councilwoman Overby.

930
01:25:05,610 --> 01:25:06,710
Aye. Councilman Overton.

931
01:25:06,910 --> 01:25:07,950
Aye. Supervisor Catwell.

932
01:25:08,250 --> 01:25:08,410
All

933
01:25:56,060 --> 01:26:04,200
right, refinancing. The town will save over $2 million over the life of those bonds.

934
01:26:05,700 --> 01:26:11,860
And in addition to that, that bond offering received a $2 million premium in the market,

935
01:26:11,860 --> 01:26:17,080
and that $2 million will go towards reducing the total indebtedness of the town.

936
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:22,160
When the board took office in 2014, January of 2014,

937
01:26:24,890 --> 01:26:29,130
one of these tampons had $119 million of total indebtedness.

938
01:26:31,750 --> 01:26:34,130
The debt service, the annual payments on that,

939
01:26:34,450 --> 01:26:34,630
caused

940
01:27:04,900 --> 01:27:07,400
the total indebtedness of the town by $10 million.

941
01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:08,060
The

942
01:27:10,940 --> 01:27:11,580
state

943
01:27:27,260 --> 01:27:30,980
that also our bond rating has been increased

944
01:27:30,980 --> 01:27:36,130
and our percentage rate as a result of that.

945
01:27:41,340 --> 01:27:48,520
The next resolution is 2015-420 and this is a bond for $50,000 for a tandem yard semi-tractor.

946
01:27:56,440 --> 01:27:57,720
Councilwoman Burke Gonzalez.

947
01:27:58,220 --> 01:27:58,420
Aye.

948
01:27:58,800 --> 01:27:59,840
Councilman Vance Goyak.

949
01:27:59,940 --> 01:28:00,100
Aye.

950
01:28:00,420 --> 01:28:01,420
Councilwoman Overby.

951
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:01,680
Aye.

952
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:02,700
Councilman Overton.

953
01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:03,020
Aye.

954
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:04,000
Supervisor Cantwell.

955
01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:04,320
Aye.

956
01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:10,400
2015-421 is a bond for $150,000 Reconstruct Heavy Duty Truck Highway.

957
01:28:12,310 --> 01:28:13,390
Councilwoman Burke Gonzalez.

958
01:28:13,870 --> 01:28:14,050
Aye.

959
01:28:14,590 --> 01:28:15,450
Councilwoman Vance Goyak.

960
01:28:15,550 --> 01:28:15,710
Aye.

961
01:28:16,050 --> 01:28:17,050
Councilwoman Overby.

962
01:28:17,170 --> 01:28:17,290
