00:06:33,183 --> 00:06:35,183
they worked hard.

195
00:06:36,153 --> 00:06:36,319
And and part of the scenario is,

196
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:38,319
you know

197
00:06:39,490 --> 00:06:41,890
how does a young

198
00:06:41,925 --> 00:06:43,925
couple afford a $1

199
00:06:44,695 --> 00:06:45,280
million home with a, with a

200
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:47,280
mortgage that MAY

201
00:06:48,799 --> 00:06:51,199
be somewhere between 7 or

202
00:06:51,367 --> 00:06:53,903
$10,000 a month. So new homes

203
00:06:53,903 --> 00:06:54,171
are being thought of or

204
00:06:54,171 --> 00:06:56,171
developed the

205
00:06:57,474 --> 00:06:59,874
45 off of Jericho Turnpike

206
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:00,210
the north side where the apple

207
00:07:00,210 --> 00:07:02,210
farm is

208
00:07:02,946 --> 00:07:03,279
Hopefully the apple trees don't

209
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,279
get destroyed. But

210
00:07:06,649 --> 00:07:06,754
those homes are easily gonna go

211
00:07:06,754 --> 00:07:08,754
for

212
00:07:09,453 --> 00:07:12,453
1 point and it's projected, it's

213
00:07:13,423 --> 00:07:13,691
probably gonna take a few years

214
00:07:13,691 --> 00:07:15,691
to build those

215
00:07:16,660 --> 00:07:19,600
45 homes, but they're projecting

216
00:07:20,129 --> 00:07:23,660
$1.4 million of tax money and

217
00:07:23,660 --> 00:07:25,660
that's 31 over $31,000 a

218
00:07:27,303 --> 00:07:27,670
year, of course some of that

219
00:07:27,670 --> 00:07:30,670
money is gonna go to

220
00:07:31,642 --> 00:07:32,900
the state, probably 10 or 15,000

221
00:07:32,900 --> 00:07:35,900
of it. The rest, you

222
00:07:36,513 --> 00:07:36,847
know, the other 9 light items.

223
00:07:36,847 --> 00:07:39,247
On your tax bill.

224
00:07:40,985 --> 00:07:41,352
How does, how does somebody

225
00:07:41,352 --> 00:07:43,752
afford that? I, so.

226
00:07:44,922 --> 00:07:45,154
I do think there's a new concept

227
00:07:45,154 --> 00:07:47,154
now and, and

228
00:07:48,157 --> 00:07:48,726
I'm starting to agree with it,

229
00:07:48,726 --> 00:07:48,891
you know, rent a place for, you

230
00:07:48,891 --> 00:07:50,891
know, a

231
00:07:52,162 --> 00:07:52,295
two bedroom, 3500, take that

232
00:07:52,295 --> 00:07:54,295
other.

233
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,432
3500 a month and invest

234
00:07:58,569 --> 00:08:01,371
it in the sp 500 or

235
00:08:01,371 --> 00:08:01,572
whateverer you feel you want to

236
00:08:01,572 --> 00:08:03,572
invest in.

237
00:08:05,609 --> 00:08:07,609
Because $25,000 in 1965

238
00:08:08,512 --> 00:08:10,512
became $11.7 million today.

239
00:08:12,916 --> 00:08:15,316
Assuming The rule of 72

240
00:08:17,121 --> 00:08:17,224
ok, thank you, MR. Lamont. Those

241
00:08:17,224 --> 00:08:19,224
are

242
00:08:21,157 --> 00:08:21,524
all the public speakers we have

243
00:08:21,524 --> 00:08:23,924

00:08:26,290 --> 00:08:26,263
anybody else who'd like to weigh

246
00:08:26,263 --> 00:08:28,263
in a public

247
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,566

248
00:08:30,566 --> 00:08:30,734
public hearing number 2. Please

249
00:08:30,734 --> 00:08:32,734

McKinley Terrace

262
00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:53,623
in Centerport. This is by order

00:08:53,623 --> 00:08:53,791
of the town board and ray town

264
00:08:53,791 --> 00:08:55,791
clerk. I

265
00:09:04,467 --> 00:09:05,200
have the affidavits of

266
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:05,369
publication and posting in the

Long Islander. Thank

268
00:09:08,939 --> 00:09:09,506
you. There's one speaker, Gerald

269
00:09:09,506 --> 00:09:09,706
Blum. Ok There you go. I was not

270
00:09:09,706 --> 00:09:11,706
referring

271
00:09:13,277 --> 00:09:13,843
to McKinley Terrace right here.

272
00:09:13,843 --> 00:09:14,780
It's to authorizes a supervisor

273
00:09:14,780 --> 00:09:16,780
to execute a

274
00:09:17,614 --> 00:09:18,148
license agreement proportion of

275
00:09:18,148 --> 00:09:18,515
town land. That's number 3. It

276
00:09:18,515 --> 00:09:20,515
doesn't say anything

277
00:09:22,850 --> 00:09:22,653
about McKinley Terrace. Yeah,

278
00:09:22,653 --> 00:09:26,156
this is, I believe me this is a

279
00:09:26,156 --> 00:09:26,724
uh a retaining wall that is

280
00:09:26,724 --> 00:09:26,830
encroaching on town land and in

281
00:09:26,830 --> 00:09:28,830
the

282
00:09:30,527 --> 00:09:31,600
PRESIDENT's streets, the

283
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:31,295
retaining walls are Plentiful

284
00:09:31,295 --> 00:09:33,295
that's what

285
00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:35,965
that's about and why wasn't it

286
00:09:35,965 --> 00:09:36,660
specified in here? Because I've

287
00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:38,660
been

288
00:09:40,103 --> 00:09:40,436
you know. Suffolk County tax map

289
00:09:40,436 --> 00:09:42,436
is, is specified.

290
00:09:44,375 --> 00:09:44,874
Um, ok. Is there something, any

291
00:09:44,874 --> 00:09:45,750
particular interest in this?

292
00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:47,750
Yes, I was

293
00:09:48,946 --> 00:09:49,780
wondering if you're obfuscating

294
00:09:49,780 --> 00:09:51,780
by not

295
00:09:51,815 --> 00:09:52,316
putting that down, exactly what

296
00:09:52,316 --> 00:09:52,549
it was, because I don't know

297
00:09:52,549 --> 00:09:54,549
what it is.

298
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:56,453
It says the town covenants

299
00:09:56,453 --> 00:09:56,519
restrictions, property. I have

300
00:09:56,519 --> 00:09:58,519
no

301
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:00,491
idea what it would be, so that's

302
00:10:00,491 --> 00:10:04,910
why I'm asking. I think in

303
00:10:04,427 --> 00:10:04,995
in the town attorney can correct

304
00:10:04,995 --> 00:10:05,620
me if I'm wrong, but I think in,

305
00:10:05,620 --> 00:10:07,620
in

306
00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:09,632
in in, in simple terms, I think

307
00:10:09,632 --> 00:10:09,833
there's a, a retaining wall that

308
00:10:09,833 --> 00:10:11,833
encroaches

309
00:10:13,537 --> 00:10:14,103
on town property and rather than

310
00:10:14,103 --> 00:10:14,371
have the property owner demolish

311
00:10:14,371 --> 00:10:16,371
the retaining

312
00:10:18,174 --> 00:10:18,742
wall. We've come up with a uh a,

313
00:10:18,742 --> 00:10:18,975
a, a covenant and restriction on

314
00:10:18,975 --> 00:10:20,975
the property

315
00:10:22,513 --> 00:10:23,460
and the license agreement

316
00:10:23,460 --> 00:10:23,413
allowing the property owner to

317
00:10:23,413 --> 00:10:25,413
keep their retaining

318
00:10:27,117 --> 00:10:27,684
wall that encroaches on the

319
00:10:27,684 --> 00:10:27,917
property and compensate the town

320
00:10:27,917 --> 00:10:29,917
for whatever

321
00:10:31,555 --> 00:10:32,121
the encroachment is. Ok, that's

322
00:10:32,121 --> 00:10:32,323
what I was wondering, um, Could

323
00:10:32,323 --> 00:10:34,323
have been

324
00:10:35,926 --> 00:10:36,427
anything, so I'm just curious.

325
00:10:36,427 --> 00:10:36,593
All right, thank you. You're

326
00:10:36,593 --> 00:10:38,593
welcome.

327
00:10:40,730 --> 00:10:41,231
Ok. Uh, there's nobody else

328
00:10:41,231 --> 00:10:41,565
signed up for public hearing

329
00:10:41,565 --> 00:10:43,565

330
00:10:44,969 --> 00:10:45,501

331
00:10:45,501 --> 00:10:45,635

00:10:49,573 --> 00:10:50,140

00:16:18,869 --> 00:16:19,269

00:16:19,269 --> 00:16:21,669
construct a fixed pier

541
00:16:22,573 --> 00:16:22,705
with a floating dock, uh, that

542
00:16:22,705 --> 00:16:24,705
is the

543
00:16:25,576 --> 00:16:28,576
clerk had stated, we require

544
00:16:29,313 --> 00:16:29,647
2 variances as well as a, uh,

545
00:16:29,647 --> 00:16:31,647
Special use permit

546
00:16:32,650 --> 00:16:33,116

547
00:16:33,116 --> 00:16:33,450
variances will be for the

548
00:16:33,450 --> 00:16:35,450

549
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:37,454

550
00:16:37,454 --> 00:16:37,654

551
00:16:37,654 --> 00:16:39,654
end of the

552
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:41,625
pier. I'd just like to note for

553
00:16:41,625 --> 00:16:41,892
the board that variances were

554
00:16:41,892 --> 00:16:43,892
granted at 265

555
00:16:45,495 --> 00:16:45,996

556
00:16:45,996 --> 00:16:46,163

561
00:16:54,271 --> 00:16:56,271

562
00:16:57,173 --> 00:16:57,675

563
00:16:57,675 --> 00:17:00,750

564
00:17:00,778 --> 00:17:01,311
164.5 ft, as the clerk stated.

565
00:17:01,311 --> 00:17:04,911

567
00:17:05,782 --> 00:17:06,115

00:17:06,115 --> 00:17:08,115

And I have Dan Hall from Land

576
00:17:19,463 --> 00:17:19,697
Use Ecological Services here

577
00:17:19,697 --> 00:17:21,697
who's signed

578
00:17:23,434 --> 00:17:23,934
up to speak, they can speak to

579
00:17:23,934 --> 00:17:24,168
the technical aspects of the

580
00:17:24,168 --> 00:17:26,168
application

581
00:17:27,770 --> 00:17:28,339
itself, numbers as as far as

582
00:17:28,339 --> 00:17:28,538
what the depth at the end of the

583
00:17:28,538 --> 00:17:30,538
dock would

584
00:17:32,443 --> 00:17:32,976
be, but the real reason that

585
00:17:32,976 --> 00:17:33,277
we're here is the Board often

586
00:17:33,277 --> 00:17:35,277
sees with these

587
00:17:36,947 --> 00:17:37,480
applications is we need to have

588
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:37,648
the dock far enough out so the

589
00:17:37,648 --> 00:17:39,648
boat can

590
00:17:41,317 --> 00:17:41,885
float at low tide and won't be

591
00:17:41,885 --> 00:17:42,510
sitting on the sea floor. I'd be

592
00:17:42,510 --> 00:17:44,510
happy to

593
00:17:45,889 --> 00:17:46,390
answer any questions that you

594
00:17:46,390 --> 00:17:46,724
MAY have, but I think I just

595
00:17:46,724 --> 00:17:48,724
covered the basics

596
00:17:50,361 --> 00:17:50,927
and any of the specific aspects

597
00:17:50,927 --> 00:17:51,950
that you MAY have questions for

598
00:17:51,950 --> 00:17:53,950
MR. Hall

599
00:17:55,399 --> 00:17:55,932
will be able to answer. Ok, any,

600
00:17:55,932 --> 00:17:56,133
any questions from the board?

601
00:17:56,133 --> 00:17:58,133
Ok. Thank

602
00:17:59,602 --> 00:18:00,170
you, MR. Brown. Jeff Bartels.

603
00:18:00,170 --> 00:18:00,336
Wow. Jeff Bartel's 10 Broad Path

604
00:18:00,336 --> 00:18:02,336
a fraud

605
00:18:04,140 --> 00:18:04,575
Lloyd Harbor, um, listen, uh.

606
00:18:04,575 --> 00:18:06,975
Now the clock's running

607
00:18:08,379 --> 00:18:08,945
That guy was just speaking that

608
00:18:08,945 --> 00:18:09,146
whole time. The clock was still

609
00:18:09,146 --> 00:18:11,146
3 minutes

610
00:18:12,816 --> 00:18:13,116
the entire time. Ok, so. I, I,

611
00:18:13,116 --> 00:18:15,516
once in a while

612
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:16,620
I watch the tv and, and see

613
00:18:16,620 --> 00:18:19,723
your, it seems like you guys are

614
00:18:19,723 --> 00:18:19,822
giving out dock permits, every

615
00:18:19,822 --> 00:18:21,822
time

616
00:18:22,660 --> 00:18:26,297
I tune in to the tv. So.

617
00:18:26,297 --> 00:18:28,297
My questions are.

618
00:18:29,330 --> 00:18:31,734
Do the, do these people have to

619
00:18:31,734 --> 00:18:34,134
ensure the dock and.

620
00:18:35,306 --> 00:18:37,706
The peer Because You

621
00:18:38,141 --> 00:18:38,309
have these storms. Can come

622
00:18:38,309 --> 00:18:40,309
through.

623
00:18:42,379 --> 00:18:44,779
And Who's inspecting like

624
00:18:45,490 --> 00:18:45,181
uh, the chains and stuff that go

625
00:18:45,181 --> 00:18:47,181
around

626
00:18:49,180 --> 00:18:49,352
the pilings that are fixed, you

627
00:18:49,352 --> 00:18:51,752
know, and, and if

628
00:18:53,489 --> 00:18:54,580
you have a dock break loose,

629
00:18:54,580 --> 00:18:57,580
especially with a boat. Attached

630
00:18:57,927 --> 00:19:00,497
to it, the windage. That

631
00:19:00,497 --> 00:19:03,232
that creates So now, I worked at

632
00:19:03,232 --> 00:19:03,566
Sawanica Corinthianian Yacht

633
00:19:03,566 --> 00:19:05,566
Club for 15 years

634
00:19:06,804 --> 00:19:09,204
and dealt with all

635
00:19:09,572 --> 00:19:12,376
the moorings and everything else

636
00:19:12,376 --> 00:19:12,476
and actually this watch was a

637
00:19:12,476 --> 00:19:14,476
gift

638
00:19:15,746 --> 00:19:18,315
ft boat broke loose off

639
00:19:18,315 --> 00:19:20,783
its mooring and I was able

640
00:19:20,783 --> 00:19:23,486
to rescue it, intercept and

641
00:19:23,486 --> 00:19:23,753
rescue it before it's smashed

642
00:19:23,753 --> 00:19:25,753
into the, the

643
00:19:26,991 --> 00:19:27,523
docks at Fiddler at, um,

644
00:19:27,523 --> 00:19:29,923
Sawanica Corinthian Yacht Club

645
00:19:32,129 --> 00:19:32,462
saving GOD knows how much money,

646
00:19:32,462 --> 00:19:34,862
so my question to

647
00:19:36,233 --> 00:19:36,634
you is, is that you're setting

648
00:19:36,634 --> 00:19:39,340
up all this liability.

649
00:19:40,838 --> 00:19:41,272
And who, who is, who's gonna pay

650
00:19:41,272 --> 00:19:44,272
if this, you know, does

651
00:19:45,209 --> 00:19:45,575
this guy have to get insurance

652
00:19:45,575 --> 00:19:48,575
not only on his boat

653
00:19:49,679 --> 00:19:50,247
but on the dock and the pier,

654
00:19:50,247 --> 00:19:54,318
because if you have like even in

655
00:19:54,318 --> 00:19:54,652
winter storms. You, I've seen

656
00:19:54,652 --> 00:19:56,652
pilings because of

657
00:19:58,655 --> 00:19:59,123
tidal movement get pulled right

658
00:19:59,123 --> 00:20:02,723
out of the bottom. And now

659
00:20:03,327 --> 00:20:03,860
they're floating around and you,

660
00:20:03,860 --> 00:20:07,460
and I remember Fred Uvina, the

661
00:20:07,698 --> 00:20:08,232
harbor master for the town of

662
00:20:08,232 --> 00:20:08,364
Huntington, he used to have to

663
00:20:08,364 --> 00:20:10,364
go and

664
00:20:12,336 --> 00:20:12,869
lassue them and tow them in to

665
00:20:12,869 --> 00:20:12,977
get them properly disposed of.

666
00:20:12,977 --> 00:20:14,977
So

667
00:20:16,573 --> 00:20:16,940
you're setting up all this

668
00:20:16,940 --> 00:20:18,940
possible. Damage and

669
00:20:21,178 --> 00:20:21,679
everything else and yet and yet

670
00:20:21,679 --> 00:20:23,679
where's the accountability?

671
00:20:25,848 --> 00:20:26,249
Who's who's gonna actually pay

672
00:20:26,249 --> 00:20:29,249
for that stuff. So you

673
00:20:30,187 --> 00:20:30,554
know Mother Nature is for

674
00:20:30,554 --> 00:20:32,554
instance, this, this

675
00:20:34,725 --> 00:20:35,224
the sandbar going out to the old

676
00:20:35,224 --> 00:20:37,624
original lighthouse of Lloyd

677
00:20:39,563 --> 00:20:40,129
Harbor, which I was alluding to

678
00:20:40,129 --> 00:20:40,264
last month has eroded away. But

679
00:20:40,264 --> 00:20:42,264
if you

680
00:20:43,767 --> 00:20:46,403
go onto that land. There is

681
00:20:46,403 --> 00:20:48,939
Pilings and dock debris and

682
00:20:48,939 --> 00:20:51,939
everything else, so you have

683
00:20:52,977 --> 00:20:53,110
these derelict. Well, ok. On

684
00:20:53,110 --> 00:20:55,110
Monday

685
00:20:55,746 --> 00:20:55,912
I was at Britannia Boatyard.

686
00:20:55,912 --> 00:20:57,912
They're

687
00:20:59,649 --> 00:20:59,916
chopping up boats. Ok, I'll go

688
00:20:59,916 --> 00:21:01,916
continue with

689
00:21:04,188 --> 00:21:04,387
the 2nd thing. All right, thank

690
00:21:04,387 --> 00:21:06,387
you I need

691
00:21:07,224 --> 00:21:07,757
another 3 minutes, right, for

692
00:21:07,757 --> 00:21:08,250
the next hearing? No, they're,

693
00:21:08,250 --> 00:21:10,250
we called them

694
00:21:11,795 --> 00:21:12,362
together. You can speak. You get

695
00:21:12,362 --> 00:21:12,496
3 minutes. Thank you. Point well

696
00:21:12,496 --> 00:21:14,496
made.

697
00:21:15,732 --> 00:21:18,301
All right, uh, MR. Hall.

698
00:21:18,301 --> 00:21:20,701
Dan Hall, good afternoon

699
00:21:20,771 --> 00:21:21,204

Dan Hall, good afternoon,

702
00:21:25,209 --> 00:21:25,576
Speaker #3 Dan Hall land use

ecological Services

704
00:21:29,178 --> 00:21:29,747
for the agent for the owner, MR.

705
00:21:29,747 --> 00:21:30,105
Tomlinson. Um, I just wanted to

706
00:21:30,105 --> 00:21:32,105
bring up

707
00:21:33,350 --> 00:21:33,918
that, uh, for the stock, the

708
00:21:33,918 --> 00:21:34,151
town is requiring that the owner

709
00:21:34,151 --> 00:21:36,151
participate

710
00:21:37,888 --> 00:21:38,322
in a, uh, licensing agreement

711
00:21:38,322 --> 00:21:38,689
and part of our license

712
00:21:38,689 --> 00:21:41,890
agreement as a whole

713
00:21:42,493 --> 00:21:42,959
harmless. So, uh, that'll cover

714
00:21:42,959 --> 00:21:43,227
the insurance and the, um,

715
00:21:43,227 --> 00:21:45,227
aspects of the

716
00:21:46,696 --> 00:21:47,264
floats and the floats are only

717
00:21:47,264 --> 00:21:47,430
going to be installed during the

718
00:21:47,430 --> 00:21:49,430
boating

719
00:21:51,368 --> 00:21:51,869
season they'll be removed during

720
00:21:51,869 --> 00:21:52,690
the winter and the offseason

721
00:21:52,690 --> 00:21:54,690
when a lot

722
00:21:55,940 --> 00:21:56,506
of the nor'easters and the bad

723
00:21:56,506 --> 00:21:56,740
weather nights it occurs, which

724
00:21:56,740 --> 00:21:58,740
is like 90%

725
00:22:00,344 --> 00:22:00,877
of the time when floats and

726
00:22:00,877 --> 00:22:01,145
piles get dislodged and cause

727
00:22:01,145 --> 00:22:03,145
problems. So,

728
00:22:04,714 --> 00:22:05,282
uh, majority of stock, that's

729
00:22:05,282 --> 00:22:05,481
why the dock is designed the way

730
00:22:05,481 --> 00:22:07,481
it is. And

731
00:22:09,353 --> 00:22:09,886
the length is required. Uh, one

732
00:22:09,886 --> 00:22:10,154
of the requirements, variants

733
00:22:10,154 --> 00:22:12,154
will be needed

734
00:22:13,656 --> 00:22:14,224
for the length because of the,

735
00:22:14,224 --> 00:22:14,424
uh, Conditions encountered with

736
00:22:14,424 --> 00:22:16,424
the water

737
00:22:18,329 --> 00:22:18,861
depths. And the water depths

738
00:22:18,861 --> 00:22:19,960
have to get out, you know, you

739
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,960
have to get

740
00:22:22,900 --> 00:22:23,466
the dock to a certain water

741
00:22:23,466 --> 00:22:23,766
depth, 2 ft at the landward end,

742
00:22:23,766 --> 00:22:25,766
and it's almost

743
00:22:27,203 --> 00:22:27,738
4 or 5 ft at the seaward end.

744
00:22:27,738 --> 00:22:27,937
And as part of the dec and the

745
00:22:27,937 --> 00:22:29,937
Army Corps

746
00:22:32,276 --> 00:22:32,809
reviewed this extensively and

747
00:22:32,809 --> 00:22:33,430
they've required that the dock

748
00:22:33,430 --> 00:22:35,430
be chopped.

749
00:22:36,747 --> 00:22:37,313
So that the flute does not hit

750
00:22:37,313 --> 00:22:37,514
the bottom during tides that are

751
00:22:37,514 --> 00:22:39,514
extremely

752
00:22:40,950 --> 00:22:41,384
low and cause damage to, uh, The

753
00:22:41,384 --> 00:22:41,684
bottom, the independent

754
00:22:41,684 --> 00:22:43,684
community. And,

755
00:22:45,455 --> 00:22:45,990
um That's pretty much all I got

756
00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:46,256
to say at this point with the

757
00:22:46,256 --> 00:22:48,256
dock. I mean,

758
00:22:49,959 --> 00:22:50,494
we have all the permits. We did,

759
00:22:50,494 --> 00:22:50,693
we did the. Do next door, the

760
00:22:50,693 --> 00:22:52,693
Carrillo's

761
00:22:54,231 --> 00:22:54,797
at, uh, 265 and we did the

762
00:22:54,797 --> 00:22:55,131
design for this stock. It's the

763
00:22:55,131 --> 00:22:57,131
exact same design,

764
00:22:58,968 --> 00:22:59,503
the exact same length. The end

765
00:22:59,503 --> 00:22:59,702
of the dock matches up to the

766
00:22:59,702 --> 00:23:01,702
exact same

767
00:23:03,406 --> 00:23:03,974
length as Tomlinson's proposed

768
00:23:03,974 --> 00:23:04,207
doc. And, um, it's been reviewed

769
00:23:04,207 --> 00:23:06,207
extensively

770
00:23:07,678 --> 00:23:08,212
by all the federal and state

771
00:23:08,212 --> 00:23:08,512
agencies, as well as the town

772
00:23:08,512 --> 00:23:10,912
now. And I think

773
00:23:12,448 --> 00:23:13,170
we're all set as far as, uh,

774
00:23:13,170 --> 00:23:13,284
Meeting all the requirements and

775
00:23:13,284 --> 00:23:15,284
the approvals.

776
00:23:16,886 --> 00:23:17,454
Ok. Thank you very much. Any

777
00:23:17,454 --> 00:23:17,821
questions? Ok, great. Thank you.

778
00:23:17,821 --> 00:23:19,821
Ok, that concludes.

779
00:23:21,391 --> 00:23:21,926
Our public hearings I'll intend

780
00:23:21,926 --> 00:23:22,910
a motion to close our board of

781
00:23:22,910 --> 00:23:24,910
trustees

782
00:23:25,663 --> 00:23:25,862
and reopen as our town board

783
00:23:25,862 --> 00:23:27,862
motion by

784
00:23:28,498 --> 00:23:28,732
trustee Hebert, seconded by

785
00:23:28,732 --> 00:23:30,732
Truste Marie

786
00:23:32,403 --> 00:23:32,803
all in favor? Any opposed?

787
00:23:32,803 --> 00:23:35,203
Motion carries. We are

788
00:23:35,972 --> 00:23:36,473
now seated as our town board,

789
00:23:36,473 --> 00:23:39,577
and at this time, we will go

790
00:23:39,577 --> 00:23:40,760
straight into our public

791
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:40,244
portion, and we have several

792
00:23:40,244 --> 00:23:42,244
speakers

793
00:23:43,747 --> 00:23:44,140
signed up to speak. Starting

794
00:23:44,140 --> 00:23:46,140
with Anna Finn

795
00:23:54,224 --> 00:23:56,624
followed by Jeff Bartels.

796
00:24:01,699 --> 00:24:03,699
Sorry.

797
00:24:04,535 --> 00:24:07,370
Uh, good afternoon, thank you.

798
00:24:07,370 --> 00:24:07,671
Good afternoon. I'm here to, uh,

799
00:24:07,671 --> 00:24:09,671
speak about the

800
00:24:10,574 --> 00:24:12,574
uh, property tax

801
00:24:13,376 --> 00:24:13,577
cap being raised. I noticed it

802
00:24:13,577 --> 00:24:15,577
was taken

803
00:24:18,150 --> 00:24:18,314
off the agenda, but I'm here to

804
00:24:18,314 --> 00:24:20,714
speak on it. Um,

805
00:24:22,180 --> 00:24:22,385
I just wanna express my

806
00:24:22,385 --> 00:24:24,785
opposition to it. Uh

807
00:24:26,556 --> 00:24:27,910
Long Island already has some of

808
00:24:27,910 --> 00:24:27,358
the highest property taxes in

809
00:24:27,358 --> 00:24:29,358
the nation and

810
00:24:31,195 --> 00:24:31,629
families and seniors are on

811
00:24:31,629 --> 00:24:34,290
fixed incomes and cannot

812
00:24:35,699 --> 00:24:35,832
easily absorb an above tax cap.

813
00:24:35,832 --> 00:24:37,832
Uh, so

814
00:24:38,669 --> 00:24:41,238
we are forced to tighten our

815
00:24:41,238 --> 00:24:44,238
household belts every single day

816
00:24:44,708 --> 00:24:44,874
we expect local government to do

817
00:24:44,874 --> 00:24:46,874
the same

818
00:24:47,844 --> 00:24:48,412
uh, rather than just taking the

819
00:24:48,412 --> 00:24:51,581
easy way out and passing. A tax

820
00:24:51,581 --> 00:24:54,183
cap override. The town should

821
00:24:54,183 --> 00:24:56,583
be using cash reserves

822
00:24:56,687 --> 00:24:57,870
before asking taxpayers for

823
00:24:57,870 --> 00:24:59,487
more, uh, piercing the

824
00:25:00,123 --> 00:25:02,523
tax cap sets a

825
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:03,192
dangerous precedent raise raises

826
00:25:03,192 --> 00:25:05,192
baseline tax

827
00:25:07,131 --> 00:25:07,697
uh, rate permanently,

828
00:25:07,697 --> 00:25:10,970
compounding financial burden on

829
00:25:11,768 --> 00:25:11,902
the homeowners for years to come

830
00:25:11,902 --> 00:25:13,902
before

831
00:25:14,939 --> 00:25:15,239
the board even considers voting

832
00:25:15,239 --> 00:25:17,239
on the override

833
00:25:18,541 --> 00:25:20,941
uh, the state limit

834
00:25:21,312 --> 00:25:23,881
you should exhaust every single

835
00:25:23,881 --> 00:25:25,881
dollar flexible, unassigned

836
00:25:27,318 --> 00:25:29,718
surplus, um, you should.

837
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,320
Do internal efficiency reviews

838
00:25:32,422 --> 00:25:34,822
audits, um. You know

839
00:25:36,459 --> 00:25:36,627
such as um discretionary

840
00:25:36,627 --> 00:25:38,627
spending

841
00:25:39,296 --> 00:25:39,495
Recent retiree benefit

842
00:25:39,495 --> 00:25:41,495
structures

843
00:25:43,670 --> 00:25:45,467
developer tax breaks rather

844
00:25:45,603 --> 00:25:45,902
than balancing the shortfalls on

845
00:25:45,902 --> 00:25:48,302
the backs of the

846
00:25:50,740 --> 00:25:50,407
resident taxpayers. So I'm just

847
00:25:50,407 --> 00:25:52,807
asking that it be

848
00:25:54,345 --> 00:25:54,545
a no on the tax cap override.

849
00:25:54,545 --> 00:25:56,545
Thank you.

850
00:25:57,347 --> 00:25:59,747
Thank you. Jeff Bartels

851
00:26:01,685 --> 00:26:05,285
followed by Mayor Mark Dara. All

852
00:26:05,588 --> 00:26:06,220
right, Jeff Bartel's 10 Broad

853
00:26:06,220 --> 00:26:08,422
Path, Lloyd Freud Harbor

854
00:26:09,580 --> 00:26:09,159
New York. All right, I'm back

855
00:26:09,159 --> 00:26:11,159
and

856
00:26:12,630 --> 00:26:12,963
um better photograph, uh, blown

857
00:26:12,963 --> 00:26:15,363
up and guess what

858
00:26:16,933 --> 00:26:17,670
Basically, it's um over 100

859
00:26:17,670 --> 00:26:19,670
years

860
00:26:19,670 --> 00:26:22,306
ago when they built the causeway

861
00:26:22,306 --> 00:26:22,640
uh, they left out culverts. So

862
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,640
it's amazing, you

863
00:26:26,430 --> 00:26:26,175
know, right here at this podium

864
00:26:26,175 --> 00:26:28,175
years

865
00:26:28,778 --> 00:26:31,282
ago I named, renamed the dec

866
00:26:31,282 --> 00:26:31,715
Department of Environmental

867
00:26:31,715 --> 00:26:33,715
Corruption or Department

868
00:26:35,352 --> 00:26:35,452
of Environmental contamination,

869
00:26:35,452 --> 00:26:37,452
the

870
00:26:38,220 --> 00:26:38,422
epa is the Environmental

871
00:26:38,422 --> 00:26:40,422
Poisoning Agency, blah

872
00:26:41,792 --> 00:26:44,461
blah blah. So here it is, you're

873
00:26:44,461 --> 00:26:46,861
you're, you, your parking

874
00:26:47,196 --> 00:26:49,596
lot, since it's conception,

875
00:26:50,900 --> 00:26:52,900
Dumps 2 football fields

876
00:26:53,603 --> 00:26:53,704
right into the marsh. So I saw

877
00:26:53,704 --> 00:26:55,704
one

878
00:26:57,508 --> 00:26:57,707
of your great grand productions

879
00:26:57,707 --> 00:26:59,707
about the

880
00:27:00,677 --> 00:27:01,440
restoration of Crab Meadow Beach

881
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,444
Marsh. Well, let me

882
00:27:04,214 --> 00:27:06,850
tell you something, you gotta

883
00:27:06,850 --> 00:27:07,251
start working with the villager

884
00:27:07,251 --> 00:27:09,651
lawyer at Harbor, and

885
00:27:11,210 --> 00:27:11,120
you have to start restoring the

886
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:13,120
West

887
00:27:13,857 --> 00:27:13,958
Neck Beach, uh, not only the To

888
00:27:13,958 --> 00:27:15,958
the

889
00:27:17,794 --> 00:27:18,162
town of Huntington, Lloyd

890
00:27:18,162 --> 00:27:20,162
Harbor, your beaches

891
00:27:22,199 --> 00:27:22,466
your estuaries, and your

892
00:27:22,466 --> 00:27:24,466
marshlands, so

893
00:27:25,335 --> 00:27:25,636
you see this is your property,

894
00:27:25,636 --> 00:27:27,636
and I explained

895
00:27:29,380 --> 00:27:31,708
how this estuary was filled in

896
00:27:31,708 --> 00:27:32,750
in 2018. Guess what? This isn't

897
00:27:32,750 --> 00:27:34,475
the bath Club. Yeah

898
00:27:35,778 --> 00:27:36,212
it's the bath Club, but guess

899
00:27:36,212 --> 00:27:39,812
who owns the land of the

900
00:27:40,184 --> 00:27:40,283
Bath Club Lloyd Harbor. So you

901
00:27:40,283 --> 00:27:42,283
see

902
00:27:42,853 --> 00:27:43,286
between Lloyd Harbor, are you,

903
00:27:43,286 --> 00:27:45,686
the town of Huntington?

904
00:27:46,957 --> 00:27:47,123
You got to reopen that estuary

905
00:27:47,123 --> 00:27:49,123
because

906
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:50,527
it's choking off. Now, the other

907
00:27:50,527 --> 00:27:53,796
thing is that with the blessing

908
00:27:53,796 --> 00:27:56,366
of dec, Gene Thatcher has been

909
00:27:56,366 --> 00:27:56,733
filling in using the sand that

910
00:27:56,733 --> 00:27:58,733
they're supposed to

911
00:28:00,570 --> 00:28:01,500
put on roads. Well, she, she has

912
00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:04,605
a truck to the beach and

913
00:28:05,209 --> 00:28:05,476
you can actually see this bulge

914
00:28:05,476 --> 00:28:07,476
here is where.

915
00:28:09,647 --> 00:28:09,946
The sand is. Plugging off or

916
00:28:09,946 --> 00:28:11,946
blocking it off.

917
00:28:14,118 --> 00:28:14,450
That same estuary. So, if you

918
00:28:14,450 --> 00:28:16,850
really want to do

919
00:28:17,488 --> 00:28:17,754
something here, folks. You need

920
00:28:17,754 --> 00:28:20,154
to put a stop

921
00:28:20,723 --> 00:28:23,426
work order on the culverts for

922
00:28:23,426 --> 00:28:23,560
the road going to the West Neck

923
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,560
Beach

924
00:28:27,665 --> 00:28:28,164
and you gotta make sure that

925
00:28:28,164 --> 00:28:31,164
they're gonna be big enough

926
00:28:32,100 --> 00:28:32,236
to handle when Lloyd Harbor.

927
00:28:32,236 --> 00:28:34,236
Puts in the

928
00:28:35,139 --> 00:28:35,439
culverts underneath Lloyd Harbor

929
00:28:35,439 --> 00:28:38,439
Road to act as a

930
00:28:38,776 --> 00:28:41,512
pressure relief valve so that

931
00:28:41,512 --> 00:28:44,148
the causeway does not flood

932
00:28:44,148 --> 00:28:44,614
which prevents the fire

933
00:28:44,614 --> 00:28:46,614
department, the ambulance

934
00:28:47,818 --> 00:28:50,120
and everyone get into my house

935
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,120
but also my

936
00:28:52,956 --> 00:28:53,123
property values. So you guys,

937
00:28:53,123 --> 00:28:55,123
you know

938
00:28:56,993 --> 00:28:57,194
I saw your big production about

939
00:28:57,194 --> 00:28:59,194
the marsh

940
00:29:01,732 --> 00:29:02,660
well, when do I get a chance to

941
00:29:02,660 --> 00:29:04,660
do. My production

942
00:29:08,505 --> 00:29:08,638
ok, my presentation with more

943
00:29:08,638 --> 00:29:10,638
time.

944
00:29:11,207 --> 00:29:11,608
Mayor Mark Dara, followed by

945
00:29:11,608 --> 00:29:13,608
Eddie o'Brien Carroll.

946
00:29:16,947 --> 00:29:18,947
Folks. Oh, ok.

947
00:29:30,227 --> 00:29:32,227
Sorry. It's Uh

948
00:29:35,565 --> 00:29:37,965
Hey Mark. It's a

949
00:29:38,302 --> 00:29:38,469
tough act to follow, MR. Mayor

950
00:29:38,469 --> 00:29:40,469
the best

951
00:29:41,705 --> 00:29:42,139
I can. Uh, good afternoon,

952
00:29:42,139 --> 00:29:44,539
Supervisor Smith and the

953
00:29:45,142 --> 00:29:45,708
town board. I am Mayor Mark Mark

954
00:29:45,708 --> 00:29:45,876
Daw of Huntington Bay. Prior to

955
00:29:45,876 --> 00:29:47,876
reading

956
00:29:49,313 --> 00:29:49,880
my statement today, I would like

957
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:50,140
to request the board's attention

958
00:29:50,140 --> 00:29:52,140
to the

959
00:29:53,417 --> 00:29:53,917
informational and graphic packet

960
00:29:53,917 --> 00:29:54,184
that I have supplied to all

961
00:29:54,184 --> 00:29:56,184
board members.

962
00:29:57,620 --> 00:29:58,188
This packet is intended to

963
00:29:58,188 --> 00:29:58,522
visually represent much of what

964
00:29:58,522 --> 00:30:00,922
are the key points

965
00:30:02,191 --> 00:30:02,760
in my statement. My hope that

966
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:02,959
the package contents will form a

967
00:30:02,959 --> 00:30:04,959
basis for

968
00:30:06,463 --> 00:30:06,996
a more lengthy graphic

969
00:30:06,996 --> 00:30:07,330
presentation at a future town

970
00:30:07,330 --> 00:30:09,330
board meeting. Um,

971
00:30:11,335 --> 00:30:11,868
and this is all about the impact

972
00:30:11,868 --> 00:30:12,690
of docks within the village of

973
00:30:12,690 --> 00:30:14,690
Huntington

974
00:30:15,638 --> 00:30:16,390
Bay. Uh, the recreational

975
00:30:16,390 --> 00:30:16,473
aesthetics, the recent

976
00:30:16,473 --> 00:30:18,473
installation of private

977
00:30:20,100 --> 00:30:20,543
dock structures along the

978
00:30:20,543 --> 00:30:20,945
Huntington Bay waterfront has

979
00:30:20,945 --> 00:30:22,945
significantly impacted

980
00:30:24,647 --> 00:30:25,215
recreational opportunities,

981
00:30:25,215 --> 00:30:25,516
aesthetic, and scenic resources.

982
00:30:25,516 --> 00:30:27,516
That are vitally

983
00:30:29,186 --> 00:30:29,752
important to Huntington Bay and

984
00:30:29,752 --> 00:30:29,920
the village's character. One of

985
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,920
the most

986
00:30:33,590 --> 00:30:34,158
popular historic, uh, forms of

987
00:30:34,158 --> 00:30:34,425
recreation for both village and

988
00:30:34,425 --> 00:30:36,425
town residents

989
00:30:38,329 --> 00:30:38,896
is and has been to walk along

990
00:30:38,896 --> 00:30:39,950
the Huntington Bay shoreline to

991
00:30:39,950 --> 00:30:41,950
place on a

992
00:30:42,565 --> 00:30:43,670
private docks creates physical

993
00:30:43,670 --> 00:30:43,333
impediments and degrades the

994
00:30:43,333 --> 00:30:45,333
aesthetics of

995
00:30:47,204 --> 00:30:47,704
the bayfront. Private dock

996
00:30:47,704 --> 00:30:48,380
development has a potential

997
00:30:48,380 --> 00:30:50,380
negatively impact

998
00:30:51,675 --> 00:30:52,142
the village's waterfront in the

999
00:30:52,142 --> 00:30:52,443
form of degraded views and

1000
00:30:52,443 --> 00:30:54,443
diminished view

1001
00:30:56,790 --> 00:30:56,647
and the enjoyment of waterfront

1002
00:30:56,647 --> 00:30:56,779
by residents and members and the

1003
00:30:56,779 --> 00:30:58,779
town's

1004
00:31:00,850 --> 00:31:01,418
public. The Bay is also used

1005
00:31:01,418 --> 00:31:01,618
extensively by village residents

1006
00:31:01,618 --> 00:31:03,618
as well as

1007
00:31:05,489 --> 00:31:05,990
town residents for recreational

1008
00:31:05,990 --> 00:31:06,257
water sports such as kayaks,

1009
00:31:06,257 --> 00:31:08,257
paddle boards,

1010
00:31:09,693 --> 00:31:10,226
kiteboards, as well as swimmers.

1011
00:31:10,226 --> 00:31:10,494
These stock structures pose a

1012
00:31:10,494 --> 00:31:12,494
safety issue,

1013
00:31:14,164 --> 00:31:14,632
and they can represent obstacles

1014
00:31:14,632 --> 00:31:14,898
both on the beach and the

1015
00:31:14,898 --> 00:31:16,898
waterfront and

1016
00:31:18,801 --> 00:31:19,303
the bay itself. In addition, An

1017
00:31:19,303 --> 00:31:19,602
extremely important they all

1018
00:31:19,602 --> 00:31:21,602
have the likely

1019
00:31:23,306 --> 00:31:23,740
potential to present obstacles

1020
00:31:23,740 --> 00:31:24,730
to emergency watercraft.

1021
00:31:24,730 --> 00:31:26,730
Environmental but

1022
00:31:27,978 --> 00:31:28,479
environmentally, the village of

1023
00:31:28,479 --> 00:31:28,712
Huntington Bay coastal area

1024
00:31:28,712 --> 00:31:30,712
includes the

1025
00:31:32,416 --> 00:31:32,850
southwest portion of Huntington

1026
00:31:32,850 --> 00:31:33,250
Bay, significant coastal

1027
00:31:33,250 --> 00:31:35,250
habitat. I'm watching

1028
00:31:36,719 --> 00:31:37,186
the clock and this area

1029
00:31:37,186 --> 00:31:37,553
important is waterfowl and

1030
00:31:37,553 --> 00:31:39,553
wintering area. It's

1031
00:31:41,558 --> 00:31:42,126
a feeding area for nearby

1032
00:31:42,126 --> 00:31:42,392
nesting colonies of shore birds

1033
00:31:42,392 --> 00:31:44,392
and sand City,

1034
00:31:45,728 --> 00:31:46,195
Eaton's neck, and is highly

1035
00:31:46,195 --> 00:31:46,596
productive area for marine

1036
00:31:46,596 --> 00:31:48,596
finfish and shellfish.

1037
00:31:50,401 --> 00:31:50,934
It's important in the village to

1038
00:31:50,934 --> 00:31:51,201
prevent the adverse impacts of

1039
00:31:51,201 --> 00:31:53,201
the biological

1040
00:31:55,390 --> 00:31:55,572
productivity of this area and

1041
00:31:55,572 --> 00:31:55,773
main a high high water quality

1042
00:31:55,773 --> 00:31:57,773
to protect

1043
00:31:59,410 --> 00:31:59,976
the shell fishery, including

1044
00:31:59,976 --> 00:32:00,244
efforts Controlled discharges of

1045
00:32:00,244 --> 00:32:02,244
vessel wastes,

1046
00:32:03,813 --> 00:32:04,381
sewage effluents, and upland

1047
00:32:04,381 --> 00:32:04,648
runoff. This includes minimizing

1048
00:32:04,648 --> 00:32:06,648
or preventing

1049
00:32:08,319 --> 00:32:08,852
the construction of shoreline

1050
00:32:08,852 --> 00:32:09,119
structures such as box piers,

1051
00:32:09,119 --> 00:32:11,119
bulkheads, and

1052
00:32:12,722 --> 00:32:13,223
resentments along the village

1053
00:32:13,223 --> 00:32:13,557
shoreline of Huntington Bay.

1054
00:32:13,557 --> 00:32:15,557
Such construction

1055
00:32:17,627 --> 00:32:18,162
actions MAY likely result in the

1056
00:32:18,162 --> 00:32:18,495
loss of productive areas. The

1057
00:32:18,495 --> 00:32:20,495
initial placement

1058
00:32:22,310 --> 00:32:22,533
of piles in the bottom impacts

1059
00:32:22,533 --> 00:32:22,899
beneath the habitat and as a

1060
00:32:22,899 --> 00:32:24,899
resultil disturbance

1061
00:32:26,403 --> 00:32:26,970
can create a long-term impact.

1062
00:32:26,970 --> 00:32:27,171
Long-term permanent multiple do

1063
00:32:27,171 --> 00:32:29,171
placements

1064
00:32:30,774 --> 00:32:31,275
will likely result in impacts to

1065
00:32:31,275 --> 00:32:31,507
the longshore deposition of

1066
00:32:31,507 --> 00:32:33,507
erosion and

1067
00:32:35,346 --> 00:32:35,912
sediment. It's important to

1068
00:32:35,912 --> 00:32:36,279
consider the impacts of multiple

1069
00:32:36,279 --> 00:32:38,279
docks and cumulative

1070
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:40,584
impact rather than approval of a

1071
00:32:40,584 --> 00:32:40,750
single dock while accepting the

1072
00:32:40,750 --> 00:32:42,750
idea of

1073
00:32:44,587 --> 00:32:45,550
a homeowner's 100 ft plus long

1074
00:32:45,550 --> 00:32:45,456
pier into the bay is not a

1075
00:32:45,456 --> 00:32:47,456
significant structure.

1076
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:49,560
As illustrated by the package

1077
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:49,994
supplied to the board, are

1078
00:32:49,994 --> 00:32:51,994
resulting in significant

1079
00:32:53,731 --> 00:32:54,297
long-term negative. Impact.

1080
00:32:54,297 --> 00:32:54,564
Private docks along the Bayfront

1081
00:32:54,564 --> 00:32:56,564
generally need

1082
00:32:58,340 --> 00:32:58,502
to be relatively long to reach

1083
00:32:58,502 --> 00:32:58,768
areas where low tide water

1084
00:32:58,768 --> 00:33:00,768
depths will be

1085
00:33:02,273 --> 00:33:02,839
less than 4 ft. The docks

1086
00:33:02,839 --> 00:33:03,107
installed over the last 5 years

1087
00:33:03,107 --> 00:33:05,107
have extended

1088
00:33:07,430 --> 00:33:07,611
over 125 ft. With the fixed pier

1089
00:33:07,611 --> 00:33:07,744
sections reaching approximately

1090
00:33:07,744 --> 00:33:09,744
60 ft.

1091
00:33:11,181 --> 00:33:11,649
The town of Huntington has

1092
00:33:11,649 --> 00:33:12,160
repeatedly approved longer

1093
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,160
period, even though

1094
00:33:15,952 --> 00:33:16,520
they exceeded, even though they

1095
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:16,686
exceed the towns maximum code of

1096
00:33:16,686 --> 00:33:18,686
100 ft.

1097
00:33:20,423 --> 00:33:20,958
These recent docks have avoided,

1098
00:33:20,958 --> 00:33:21,257
uh, Bay Village jurisdiction,

1099
00:33:21,257 --> 00:33:23,257
the installation

1100
00:33:24,961 --> 00:33:25,496
of temporary ramps resting in

1101
00:33:25,496 --> 00:33:25,728
the shoreline, the claim being

1102
00:33:25,728 --> 00:33:27,728
the ramp is

1103
00:33:29,399 --> 00:33:29,934
resting, not a structure. The

1104
00:33:29,934 --> 00:33:30,233
central point of these private

1105
00:33:30,233 --> 00:33:32,233
docks. Or longer

1106
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:34,571
than the town'szone code and

1107
00:33:34,571 --> 00:33:34,838
allows the method of access from

1108
00:33:34,838 --> 00:33:36,838
the shoreline

1109
00:33:38,208 --> 00:33:38,676
in questionable terms of

1110
00:33:38,676 --> 00:33:39,430
stability. As I there's a,

1111
00:33:39,430 --> 00:33:41,430
there's a potential,

1112
00:33:43,130 --> 00:33:43,514
you'll see it in one of my maps

1113
00:33:43,514 --> 00:33:43,747
to construct over 50 private

1114
00:33:43,747 --> 00:33:45,747
docks along

1115
00:33:47,450 --> 00:33:47,952
the Huntington Bay shoreline,

1116
00:33:47,952 --> 00:33:48,285
multiple single-family home

1117
00:33:48,285 --> 00:33:50,285
peers were totally

1118
00:33:51,854 --> 00:33:52,356
and permanently change the

1119
00:33:52,356 --> 00:33:52,655
shoreline of the village as

1120
00:33:52,655 --> 00:33:54,655
viewed from both

1121
00:33:56,292 --> 00:33:56,759
the land and the water would

1122
00:33:56,759 --> 00:33:57,126
clearly impact residents'

1123
00:33:57,126 --> 00:33:59,526
ability to walk the

1124
00:34:01,230 --> 00:34:01,664
intertidal area. Residents will

1125
00:34:01,664 --> 00:34:02,990
be walking under a pile

1126
00:34:02,990 --> 00:34:04,990
supported over floating

1127
00:34:05,569 --> 00:34:06,350
docks and anchor docks.

1128
00:34:06,350 --> 00:34:06,402
Huntington Bay is village.

1129
00:34:06,402 --> 00:34:08,402
Village is currently

1130
00:34:09,839 --> 00:34:10,374
working on an lwrt of Huntington

1131
00:34:10,374 --> 00:34:10,573
is working on its own lwrp in

1132
00:34:10,573 --> 00:34:12,573
the spirit

1133
00:34:14,545 --> 00:34:15,780
of full cooperation, I'm on the

1134
00:34:15,780 --> 00:34:15,346
town's Advisory board. Um, to

1135
00:34:15,346 --> 00:34:17,346
add my input.

1136
00:34:18,949 --> 00:34:19,450
That I MAY have since the

1137
00:34:19,450 --> 00:34:19,783
village is 2/3 into the lwrp

1138
00:34:19,783 --> 00:34:21,783
process, and it's

1139
00:34:23,487 --> 00:34:24,200
important to note that

1140
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:24,420
Huntington Bay Village has an

1141
00:34:24,420 --> 00:34:26,420
executed contract and

1142
00:34:28,224 --> 00:34:28,692
at a stage somewhat ahead of the

1143
00:34:28,692 --> 00:34:29,260
town lwrp. Accordingly, as

1144
00:34:29,260 --> 00:34:31,260
mayor, I'm asking

1145
00:34:32,662 --> 00:34:33,230
that while these documents are

1146
00:34:33,230 --> 00:34:33,429
being drafted and approved, the

1147
00:34:33,429 --> 00:34:35,429
town grant

1148
00:34:36,799 --> 00:34:37,268
a temporary, and I repeat,

1149
00:34:37,268 --> 00:34:37,635
temporary easement to the

1150
00:34:37,635 --> 00:34:39,635
village encompassing

1151
00:34:41,505 --> 00:34:42,380
a 100 ft area from the mean high

1152
00:34:42,380 --> 00:34:42,273
water north out into the bay.

1153
00:34:42,273 --> 00:34:44,273
The easement

1154
00:34:46,109 --> 00:34:46,542
would be subject to renew

1155
00:34:46,542 --> 00:34:46,977
renewal by the town on a

1156
00:34:46,977 --> 00:34:49,377
two-year basis with full

1157
00:34:50,613 --> 00:34:51,810
termination. Renewal being based

1158
00:34:51,810 --> 00:34:51,347
upon the completion of the

1159
00:34:51,347 --> 00:34:53,347
village's lwrp

1160
00:34:55,190 --> 00:34:55,551
which is estimated to be about 2

1161
00:34:55,551 --> 00:34:55,818
years. Jointly, the two LWRPs

1162
00:34:55,818 --> 00:34:57,818
will establish

1163
00:34:59,356 --> 00:34:59,923
conditions. Um Which would

1164
00:34:59,923 --> 00:35:00,190
control the construction of new

1165
00:35:00,190 --> 00:35:02,190
docks and the

1166
00:35:03,827 --> 00:35:04,328
village Bay Shore. The village

1167
00:35:04,328 --> 00:35:04,561
does not oppose all current

1168
00:35:04,561 --> 00:35:06,561
historically

1169
00:35:08,531 --> 00:35:08,965
present bayfront docks. Docks

1170
00:35:08,965 --> 00:35:09,433
are not constructed, are

1171
00:35:09,433 --> 00:35:11,433
constructed and maintained

1172
00:35:12,870 --> 00:35:13,403
by Huntington Bay Beach

1173
00:35:13,403 --> 00:35:13,803
Association to access moorings

1174
00:35:13,803 --> 00:35:15,803
and function swimming

1175
00:35:17,741 --> 00:35:18,308
docks, in our opinion, are

1176
00:35:18,308 --> 00:35:18,576
reasonable. The town maintained

1177
00:35:18,576 --> 00:35:20,576
regulates. The

1178
00:35:22,450 --> 00:35:22,613
moorings and the number of

1179
00:35:22,613 --> 00:35:22,845
associated association peers out

1180
00:35:22,845 --> 00:35:24,845
into the bay

1181
00:35:26,317 --> 00:35:26,849
at PRESIDENT Limited. We think

1182
00:35:26,849 --> 00:35:27,840
that's a reasonable compromise

1183
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,840
with respect

1184
00:35:31,540 --> 00:35:31,488
to dock construction along the

1185
00:35:31,488 --> 00:35:31,854
bayfront. The village is

1186
00:35:31,854 --> 00:35:33,854
generally supported

1187
00:35:35,558 --> 00:35:36,930
daca applications in the harbor

1188
00:35:36,930 --> 00:35:36,427
side. The ongoing lwrp process

1189
00:35:36,427 --> 00:35:38,427
should necessitate

1190
00:35:39,929 --> 00:35:40,463
the village and town to work

1191
00:35:40,463 --> 00:35:40,730
together. We cannot and should

1192
00:35:40,730 --> 00:35:42,730
not establish

1193
00:35:44,401 --> 00:35:44,969
new policies and separate

1194
00:35:44,969 --> 00:35:45,234
efforts as mayor, I want to work

1195
00:35:45,234 --> 00:35:47,234
with the town.

1196
00:35:48,972 --> 00:35:49,506
I believe we can jointly

1197
00:35:49,506 --> 00:35:49,907
establish lwrp policies which

1198
00:35:49,907 --> 00:35:51,907
are address waterfront

1199
00:35:53,776 --> 00:35:54,210
resident needs. While at the

1200
00:35:54,210 --> 00:35:54,712
same time respecting the

1201
00:35:54,712 --> 00:35:56,712
environment and recreational

1202
00:35:58,249 --> 00:35:58,816
residents of the Bay Area. The

1203
00:35:58,816 --> 00:35:59,150
village needs time for the lwrp

1204
00:35:59,150 --> 00:36:01,150
process to

1205
00:36:02,385 --> 00:36:02,920
come to completion. And the

1206
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:03,219
creation of an of an easement

1207
00:36:03,219 --> 00:36:05,219
overlays ensures

1208
00:36:07,157 --> 00:36:07,690
that the time I provided. At the

1209
00:36:07,690 --> 00:36:07,858
time is provided. I understand

1210
00:36:07,858 --> 00:36:09,858
this is

1211
00:36:11,461 --> 00:36:12,290
a public comment portion, but

1212
00:36:12,290 --> 00:36:12,195
I'm asking the board consider my

1213
00:36:12,195 --> 00:36:14,195
request,

1214
00:36:15,932 --> 00:36:16,433
and I assume that it would have

1215
00:36:16,433 --> 00:36:16,699
to be presented at a public

1216
00:36:16,699 --> 00:36:18,699
hearing in the

1217
00:36:20,671 --> 00:36:21,204
nenext board meeting in a village

1218
00:36:21,204 --> 00:36:21,372
of 57575 homes. There are only

1219
00:36:21,372 --> 00:36:23,372
44 homes

1220
00:36:24,908 --> 00:36:25,409
requesting doc applications with

1221
00:36:25,409 --> 00:36:25,608
99 residents against it, um,

1222
00:36:25,608 --> 00:36:27,608
submitted,

1223
00:36:31,981 --> 00:36:32,516
The lwrp boundaries you see. And

1224
00:36:32,516 --> 00:36:32,683
the one thing I'll just finish

1225
00:36:32,683 --> 00:36:34,683
up, one

1226
00:36:36,220 --> 00:36:36,754
thing I'm very proud of since

1227
00:36:36,754 --> 00:36:36,987
becoming mayor is the improved

1228
00:36:36,987 --> 00:36:38,987
relationship

1229
00:36:40,891 --> 00:36:41,458
we've developed with the town of

1230
00:36:41,458 --> 00:36:41,625
Huntington. I made it a priority

1231
00:36:41,625 --> 00:36:43,625
to open

1232
00:36:45,461 --> 00:36:45,862
the lines of communication and

1233
00:36:45,862 --> 00:36:46,195
build a strong working

1234
00:36:46,195 --> 00:36:48,195
relationship with

1235
00:36:49,700 --> 00:36:50,234
town officials. We've been able

1236
00:36:50,234 --> 00:36:50,501
to communicate more directly,

1237
00:36:50,501 --> 00:36:52,501
work together,

1238
00:36:54,271 --> 00:36:54,771
and address issues in a

1239
00:36:54,771 --> 00:36:55,171
productive way. I think that

1240
00:36:55,171 --> 00:36:57,171
relationship has been

1241
00:36:58,942 --> 00:36:59,476
a real benefit to the village

1242
00:36:59,476 --> 00:36:59,709
and our residents. I thank you

1243
00:36:59,709 --> 00:37:01,709
for the. Um,

1244
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:03,714
there's a lot to unpack there,

1245
00:37:03,714 --> 00:37:04,480
so why don't we make an

1246
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,480
appointment? We'll

1247
00:37:07,617 --> 00:37:08,118
sit down. We'll, we'll go

1248
00:37:08,118 --> 00:37:08,485
through it at length. Sounds

1249
00:37:08,485 --> 00:37:10,885
good. Thank you very

1250
00:37:12,289 --> 00:37:12,822
much. Eddie o'Brien Carroll,

1251
00:37:12,822 --> 00:37:13,122
followed by Cheryl Blum. Eddie

1252
00:37:13,122 --> 00:37:15,122
o'Brien Carroll,

1253
00:37:16,694 --> 00:37:17,610
Huntington, I'd add a new

1254
00:37:17,610 --> 00:37:17,528
committeeman for the

1255
00:37:17,528 --> 00:37:19,928
Conservative Party here in

1256
00:37:21,231 --> 00:37:21,764
town. I am here again about the

1257
00:37:21,764 --> 00:37:21,966
African American museum. This

1258
00:37:21,966 --> 00:37:23,966
museum is

1259
00:37:26,700 --> 00:37:26,636
a patronage project. Veronique

1260
00:37:26,636 --> 00:37:26,837
Bailey was hired as a contractor

1261
00:37:26,837 --> 00:37:28,837
while she

1262
00:37:30,340 --> 00:37:30,874
was PRESIDENT Of the Huntington

1263
00:37:30,874 --> 00:37:31,740
naacp, the town board and the

1264
00:37:31,740 --> 00:37:33,740
anti-bias

1265
00:37:34,811 --> 00:37:35,346
task force put her in charge of

1266
00:37:35,346 --> 00:37:35,546
the social justice ambassador

1267
00:37:35,546 --> 00:37:37,546
program at

1268
00:37:39,349 --> 00:37:39,782
in schools. Now she has been

1269
00:37:39,782 --> 00:37:40,183
appointed to this museum

1270
00:37:40,183 --> 00:37:42,183
project. Bruce Segal,

1271
00:37:43,886 --> 00:37:44,388
appointed by the town board as

1272
00:37:44,388 --> 00:37:44,654
a. On to the anti-bias task

1273
00:37:44,654 --> 00:37:46,654
force is also

1274
00:37:48,358 --> 00:37:48,791
on the museum board. Kevin

1275
00:37:48,791 --> 00:37:49,226
Thorburn, the six-figure

1276
00:37:49,226 --> 00:37:51,226
salaried human services

1277
00:37:52,829 --> 00:37:53,263
director who oversees the

1278
00:37:53,263 --> 00:37:53,731
anti-bias task force and

1279
00:37:53,731 --> 00:37:55,731
minority Affairs division

1280
00:37:57,300 --> 00:37:57,801
has been made museum director

1281
00:37:57,801 --> 00:37:58,101
and serves as its treasurer.

1282
00:37:58,101 --> 00:38:00,101
Black Americans

1283
00:38:01,905 --> 00:38:02,439
are 4% of Huntington's

1284
00:38:02,439 --> 00:38:02,906
population. I do not buy that

1285
00:38:02,906 --> 00:38:05,306
the average black American

1286
00:38:06,376 --> 00:38:06,944
was demanding this museum

1287
00:38:06,944 --> 00:38:07,211
nonprofits, bureaucrats, and the

1288
00:38:07,211 --> 00:38:09,211
anti-bias task

1289
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:11,315
force were. Now I mentioned that

1290
00:38:11,315 --> 00:38:11,614
the naacp has supported.

1291
00:38:11,614 --> 00:38:13,614
Reparations for

1292
00:38:15,585 --> 00:38:15,953
slavery since 1991, longer than

1293
00:38:15,953 --> 00:38:16,320
I've been alive. How

1294
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,320
fascinating. Here's

1295
00:38:19,690 --> 00:38:20,156
another beauty, the group also

1296
00:38:20,156 --> 00:38:20,490
took political money from

1297
00:38:20,490 --> 00:38:22,490
Coca-Cola to brand

1298
00:38:24,361 --> 00:38:24,929
a soda tax racist, a campaign

1299
00:38:24,929 --> 00:38:25,195
which worked. So in addition to

1300
00:38:25,195 --> 00:38:27,195
its politics,

1301
00:38:28,831 --> 00:38:29,366
the organization has also had a

1302
00:38:29,366 --> 00:38:29,565
record of political blackmail,

1303
00:38:29,565 --> 00:38:31,565
as you are

1304
00:38:33,236 --> 00:38:33,804
ready to hand their pet

1305
00:38:33,804 --> 00:38:34,104
patronage project. After my last

1306
00:38:34,104 --> 00:38:36,104
speech, luckily

1307
00:38:37,707 --> 00:38:38,242
still circulating locally on

1308
00:38:38,242 --> 00:38:38,609
TikTok. I was banned from the

1309
00:38:38,609 --> 00:38:40,609
Huntington Community

1310
00:38:42,346 --> 00:38:42,780
Matters Facebook page. They

1311
00:38:42,780 --> 00:38:43,213
insist they are not the

1312
00:38:43,213 --> 00:38:45,613
government so they can.

1313
00:38:46,951 --> 00:38:47,483
Sensor. Is that healthy for free

1314
00:38:47,483 --> 00:38:47,685
speech in Huntington, however,

1315
00:38:47,685 --> 00:38:49,685
especially

1316
00:38:51,322 --> 00:38:51,888
when I'm trying to speak to

1317
00:38:51,888 --> 00:38:52,122
residents who I know exist, who

1318
00:38:52,122 --> 00:38:54,122
do not want

1319
00:38:55,692 --> 00:38:56,260
the character or politics of

1320
00:38:56,260 --> 00:38:56,526
this museum here. The Huntington

1321
00:38:56,526 --> 00:38:58,526
establishment

1322
00:39:00,397 --> 00:39:00,831
is on par with that attitude.

1323
00:39:00,831 --> 00:39:01,198
However, the Republican

1324
00:39:01,198 --> 00:39:03,198
supervisor slandered

1325
00:39:05,368 --> 00:39:05,903
my speech on JULY 14th as

1326
00:39:05,903 --> 00:39:06,270
abhorrent and repugnant. Tracy

1327
00:39:06,270 --> 00:39:08,270
Edwards, a national

1328
00:39:09,939 --> 00:39:10,474
naacp member and Hochel's la

1329
00:39:10,474 --> 00:39:10,808
chair came here last month and

1330
00:39:10,808 --> 00:39:12,808
has been insisting

1331
00:39:16,279 --> 00:39:16,713
we must accept the museum

1332
00:39:16,713 --> 00:39:17,147
because of. Huntington's

1333
00:39:17,147 --> 00:39:19,547
colonial sins and racist

1334
00:39:25,221 --> 00:39:25,756
Facebook posters, she believes

1335
00:39:25,756 --> 00:39:25,955
the one she's being silenced.

1336
00:39:25,955 --> 00:39:27,955
She thinks

1337
00:39:29,726 --> 00:39:30,159
she's being silenced. It's fake

1338
00:39:30,159 --> 00:39:30,426
news day fawns over her.

1339
00:39:30,426 --> 00:39:32,426
Meanwhile, the

1340
00:39:34,197 --> 00:39:34,664
school district is prepared to

1341
00:39:34,664 --> 00:39:35,640
bus children to the naacp

1342
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,640
project. This project

1343
00:39:38,701 --> 00:39:39,135
is top-down cultural imperialism

1344
00:39:39,135 --> 00:39:39,469
against the character of

1345
00:39:39,469 --> 00:39:41,469
Huntington, pushed

1346
00:39:43,172 --> 00:39:43,673
by nonprofits, bureaucrats,

1347
00:39:43,673 --> 00:39:43,973
Republicans, Democrats, the

1348
00:39:43,973 --> 00:39:45,973
school district,

1349
00:39:47,710 --> 00:39:48,279
the anti-bias task force fake

1350
00:39:48,279 --> 00:39:48,478
news Day, and the CHAIRWOMAN Of

1351
00:39:48,478 --> 00:39:50,478
la. Thank

1352
00:39:52,116 --> 00:39:52,683
you. Cheryl Blom, followed by

1353
00:39:52,683 --> 00:39:52,916
David Weins. Weinstem. Westman.

1354
00:39:52,916 --> 00:39:54,916
I'm here to

1355
00:39:56,753 --> 00:39:57,321
speak in favor of the African

1356
00:39:57,321 --> 00:39:57,520
American museum. I can't wait to

1357
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,520
see it up.

1358
00:40:01,580 --> 00:40:01,624
Ok. I have several points I just

1359
00:40:01,624 --> 00:40:01,858
want to bring up. I don't think

1360
00:40:01,858 --> 00:40:03,858
we're gonna

1361
00:40:05,728 --> 00:40:06,163
have time for a discussion, but

1362
00:40:06,163 --> 00:40:06,462
in, uh, 2026-436, we're

1363
00:40:06,462 --> 00:40:08,462
authorizing the

1364
00:40:10,199 --> 00:40:10,734
execution of an interim

1365
00:40:10,734 --> 00:40:11,680
settlement agreement with the

1366
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,680
Long Island Power

1367
00:40:14,772 --> 00:40:15,239
Authority, um, some of us don't

1368
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:15,539
know what this settlement

1369
00:40:15,539 --> 00:40:17,539
agreement is and

1370
00:40:19,243 --> 00:40:19,743
we're a little bit curious, so

1371
00:40:19,743 --> 00:40:19,977
that's something I wanted to

1372
00:40:19,977 --> 00:40:21,977
bring up. I

1373
00:40:23,847 --> 00:40:24,414
also wanted to ask about what's

1374
00:40:24,414 --> 00:40:24,615
going on with Manor Field. Manor

1375
00:40:24,615 --> 00:40:26,615
Farm, um,

1376
00:40:28,218 --> 00:40:28,686
because Starflower was kicked

1377
00:40:28,686 --> 00:40:29,190
out and we are awarding a

1378
00:40:29,190 --> 00:40:31,190
license agreement

1379
00:40:32,890 --> 00:40:33,457
for community or educational

1380
00:40:33,457 --> 00:40:33,656
proposals for the utilization of

1381
00:40:33,656 --> 00:40:35,656
the house

1382
00:40:37,261 --> 00:40:37,827
buildings, and Manor Farm Park

1383
00:40:37,827 --> 00:40:37,995
and we don't really know what's

1384
00:40:37,995 --> 00:40:39,995
going on

1385
00:40:41,699 --> 00:40:42,232
there, what kind of development

1386
00:40:42,232 --> 00:40:42,466
is going on. I mean, we have a

1387
00:40:42,466 --> 00:40:44,466
problem with

1388
00:40:46,135 --> 00:40:46,704
Fairmeadow Park and. We don't

1389
00:40:46,704 --> 00:40:46,903
know what's going on with Manor

1390
00:40:46,903 --> 00:40:48,903
Farm Park,

1391
00:40:50,808 --> 00:40:51,341
which was a um Which is a

1392
00:40:51,341 --> 00:40:51,641
delightful little piece of of

1393
00:40:51,641 --> 00:40:53,641
property, so we

1394
00:40:55,780 --> 00:40:55,511
want to know the other thing is

1395
00:40:55,511 --> 00:40:55,913
on 202-6447, um, we are.

1396
00:40:55,913 --> 00:40:57,913
Considering a special

1397
00:40:59,783 --> 00:41:00,316
use permit cornerstone Melville.

1398
00:41:00,316 --> 00:41:00,517
To allow the development of a

1399
00:41:00,517 --> 00:41:02,517
mixed-use

1400
00:41:04,188 --> 00:41:04,721
property located on the north

1401
00:41:04,721 --> 00:41:04,955
side of Bayliss Road. East of

1402
00:41:04,955 --> 00:41:06,955
Maxis Road.

1403
00:41:08,626 --> 00:41:09,159
In Melville and I'm just curious

1404
00:41:09,159 --> 00:41:09,325
if the cornerstone is going to

1405
00:41:09,325 --> 00:41:11,325
blend in

1406
00:41:13,130 --> 00:41:13,631
with the other one that we

1407
00:41:13,631 --> 00:41:13,964
agreed to last year, um, is

1408
00:41:13,964 --> 00:41:16,364
there going to be

1409
00:41:17,601 --> 00:41:18,168
It's supposed to look like a

1410
00:41:18,168 --> 00:41:18,435
community, it's supposed to look

1411
00:41:18,435 --> 00:41:20,435
like a little

1412
00:41:22,106 --> 00:41:22,640
town where you got the

1413
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:22,973
cornerstone here and you have

1414
00:41:22,973 --> 00:41:25,373
the other one over

1415
00:41:26,710 --> 00:41:27,243
there still proper steal equity

1416
00:41:27,243 --> 00:41:27,444
properties there, cornerstone

1417
00:41:27,444 --> 00:41:29,444
here, just

1418
00:41:31,115 --> 00:41:31,681
wondering how they're gonna look

1419
00:41:31,681 --> 00:41:31,748
aesthetically. And also there is

1420
00:41:31,748 --> 00:41:33,748
a.

1421
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:36,185
Amendment to the Town Code

1422
00:41:36,185 --> 00:41:36,487
regarding financial impact

1423
00:41:36,487 --> 00:41:38,487
agreements with

1424
00:41:40,224 --> 00:41:40,624
the school districts for certain

1425
00:41:40,624 --> 00:41:42,624
mixed-use developments

1426
00:41:44,595 --> 00:41:44,962
which probably relates to the

1427
00:41:44,962 --> 00:41:46,962
Melville Town Center

1428
00:41:47,897 --> 00:41:48,299
overlay district, but we don't

1429
00:41:48,299 --> 00:41:50,699
really know what those

1430
00:41:51,567 --> 00:41:52,100
financial impact agreements with

1431
00:41:52,100 --> 00:41:54,401
the school districts are

1432
00:41:55,940 --> 00:41:56,472
and I know this has come up

1433
00:41:56,472 --> 00:41:56,839
before and it was going to be

1434
00:41:56,839 --> 00:41:59,239
looked into, I think

1435
00:42:00,510 --> 00:42:01,110
Doctor Bernardo was gonna look

1436
00:42:01,110 --> 00:42:01,311
into it and Jen Hebert said

1437
00:42:01,311 --> 00:42:03,311
she'd look into

1438
00:42:05,316 --> 00:42:05,848
it. But you're gonna just adopt

1439
00:42:05,848 --> 00:42:06,820
it and we don't even know what

1440
00:42:06,820 --> 00:42:08,820
it's about.

1441
00:42:09,386 --> 00:42:09,953
So those are the ones that I

1442
00:42:09,953 --> 00:42:10,540
wanted people to be aware of and

1443
00:42:10,540 --> 00:42:12,540
ask

1444
00:42:14,570 --> 00:42:14,357
questions and, um, good luck.

1445
00:42:14,357 --> 00:42:16,357

name's James Darcy. Um, I

1503
00:44:08,639 --> 00:44:08,838
wanted to bring up about the

1504
00:44:08,838 --> 00:44:10,838
taxes, uh.

1505
00:44:11,742 --> 00:44:12,242
I'm like blown away that you're

1506
00:44:12,242 --> 00:44:15,242
planning on raising the cap.

1507
00:44:15,512 --> 00:44:18,349
I don't hear any talk about

1508
00:44:18,349 --> 00:44:20,783
what we can do to shrink it.

1509
00:44:20,783 --> 00:44:23,183
I pay about 23% of

1510
00:44:23,387 --> 00:44:25,787
my fixed income. On

1511
00:44:26,724 --> 00:44:29,425
town taxes and school, which I

1512
00:44:29,425 --> 00:44:31,694
think is Outrageous in its own.

1513
00:44:31,694 --> 00:44:33,694
But, uh, Are

1514
00:44:34,397 --> 00:44:34,731
we working on, you know,

1515
00:44:34,731 --> 00:44:36,731
reducing the taxes

1516
00:44:37,667 --> 00:44:40,670
I, I have to

1517
00:44:40,504 --> 00:44:40,804
uh, me and my wife were just

1518
00:44:40,804 --> 00:44:42,804
discussing about

1519
00:44:44,774 --> 00:44:45,276

1520
00:44:45,276 --> 00:44:45,508
fixed income. And I have my

my grandkids here. And I don't

1523
00:44:50,130 --> 00:44:53,613
want to move south. You know

1524
00:44:53,816 --> 00:44:54,385
so I could afford to live. I

1525
00:44:54,385 --> 00:44:54,517
grew up here, lived here all my

1526
00:44:54,517 --> 00:44:56,517
life.

1527
00:44:58,354 --> 00:44:58,621
So my thing is, you know. I

1528
00:44:58,621 --> 00:45:00,621
don't know if

1529
00:45:01,458 --> 00:45:01,558
you need like a, a Dodge, you

1530
00:45:01,558 --> 00:45:03,558
know

1531
00:45:05,229 --> 00:45:05,461
committee where not going after

1532
00:45:05,461 --> 00:45:07,461
not talking

1533
00:45:09,532 --> 00:45:10,670
about fraud, talking about how

1534
00:45:10,670 --> 00:45:14,267
to shrink it. Because to me I

1535
00:45:15,710 --> 00:45:15,606
think what you'll see over the

1536
00:45:15,606 --> 00:45:15,805
next, uh, several weeks is, is

1537
00:45:15,805 --> 00:45:17,805
you'll see

1538
00:45:19,143 --> 00:45:19,676
a budget that's going to be

1539
00:45:19,676 --> 00:45:19,943
under the tax cap. All right,

1540
00:45:19,943 --> 00:45:21,943
just, and I'll

1541
00:45:23,313 --> 00:45:23,814
tell you bluntly, I, I. It it

1542
00:45:23,814 --> 00:45:24,113
sounds like a great idea. I

1543
00:45:24,113 --> 00:45:26,113
don't think the

1544
00:45:27,751 --> 00:45:28,319
public's going to like it. But

1545
00:45:28,319 --> 00:45:28,452
we'll see. I mean, I, you know,

1546
00:45:28,452 --> 00:45:30,452
I have

1547
00:45:32,255 --> 00:45:32,790
the town tools. There's only 2

1548
00:45:32,790 --> 00:45:32,990
tools in my toolboxes. I, I, I

1549
00:45:32,990 --> 00:45:34,990
can either

1550
00:45:36,627 --> 00:45:37,126
cut services or, or raise taxes.

1551
00:45:37,126 --> 00:45:37,361
There's nothing, there's no

1552
00:45:37,361 --> 00:45:39,361
other to me

1553
00:45:41,198 --> 00:45:41,731
there's a lot of. I'm not gonna

1554
00:45:41,731 --> 00:45:41,966
call it waste but unnecessary

1555
00:45:41,966 --> 00:45:43,966
things like

1556
00:45:45,903 --> 00:45:46,469
I was just snooping around. We

1557
00:45:46,469 --> 00:45:46,704
have 8 libraries in the town of

1558
00:45:46,704 --> 00:45:48,704
Huntington.

1559
00:45:50,107 --> 00:45:50,673
That's not, that's not the town.

1560
00:45:50,673 --> 00:45:50,874
That's not the town? All right,

1561
00:45:50,874 --> 00:45:52,874
but I just

1562
00:45:54,511 --> 00:45:54,979
like, you know, everybody uses

1563
00:45:54,979 --> 00:45:55,279
the internet. I don't know

1564
00:45:55,279 --> 00:45:57,279
anybody who goes

1565
00:45:59,490 --> 00:45:59,582
to the library, you know, I'm

1566
00:45:59,582 --> 00:45:59,817
just going for instance, like

1567
00:45:59,817 --> 00:46:01,817
there's got

1568
00:46:03,753 --> 00:46:04,321
to be ways to be able to shrink

1569
00:46:04,321 --> 00:46:04,554
it and Oh, no, there's, there's

1570
00:46:04,554 --> 00:46:06,554
no question

1571
00:46:08,158 --> 00:46:08,691
there are ways to do it. I mean,

1572
00:46:08,691 --> 00:46:08,925
you know, it's but it, I think

1573
00:46:08,925 --> 00:46:10,925
we, we have

1574
00:46:12,529 --> 00:46:13,620
a, a very good track record of

1575
00:46:13,620 --> 00:46:13,330
being stewards of the public's

1576
00:46:13,330 --> 00:46:15,330
money. I think

1577
00:46:17,166 --> 00:46:17,735
that we have a great work

1578
00:46:17,735 --> 00:46:18,340
product to show out in the town

1579
00:46:18,340 --> 00:46:20,340
from what we've

1580
00:46:21,605 --> 00:46:22,172
done with the taxpayers' money

1581
00:46:22,172 --> 00:46:22,373
over the last several years, but

1582
00:46:22,373 --> 00:46:24,373
sooner or

1583
00:46:26,310 --> 00:46:26,876
later, you know, we, we have to

1584
00:46:26,876 --> 00:46:27,770
make some hard decisions and it

1585
00:46:27,770 --> 00:46:29,770
might be,

1586
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:31,181
you know, if, if it comes down

1587
00:46:31,181 --> 00:46:31,414
to staying under the tax cap

1588
00:46:31,414 --> 00:46:33,414
then it will

1589
00:46:35,118 --> 00:46:35,585
have to be dramatic cut in

1590
00:46:35,585 --> 00:46:35,985
services and you know the

1591
00:46:35,985 --> 00:46:38,385
biggest one it's worth

1592
00:46:39,622 --> 00:46:40,157
saying I'll let you, I'll let

1593
00:46:40,157 --> 00:46:40,456
you finish your thoughts, but

1594
00:46:40,456 --> 00:46:42,456
You know, things

1595
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:44,527
like that are uh that garbage

1596
00:46:44,527 --> 00:46:44,828
collection, for example, the

1597
00:46:44,828 --> 00:46:46,828
Covanta contract

1598
00:46:48,698 --> 00:46:49,233
that we have, which is renewing

1599
00:46:49,233 --> 00:46:49,399
it's, I think it's going to be

1600
00:46:49,399 --> 00:46:51,399
close to

1601
00:46:53,370 --> 00:46:53,503
$4 million. To renew that

1602
00:46:53,503 --> 00:46:53,870
contract annually. That's,

1603
00:46:53,870 --> 00:46:55,870
that's the entirety

1604
00:46:57,574 --> 00:46:58,108
of the tax cap right there.

1605
00:46:58,108 --> 00:46:58,374
That's 2% right there. So you

1606
00:46:58,374 --> 00:47:00,374
know, the, the

1607
00:47:02,212 --> 00:47:02,780
math doesn't math. I mean, it's,

1608
00:47:02,780 --> 00:47:02,946
it's a, you know, we're talking

1609
00:47:02,946 --> 00:47:04,946
services

1610
00:47:06,483 --> 00:47:07,160
like You know, a dramatic

1611
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:07,350
reduction in services that the

1612
00:47:07,350 --> 00:47:09,350
public will notice

1613
00:47:11,154 --> 00:47:11,689
every single day. You know, I'm

1614
00:47:11,689 --> 00:47:11,888
not jumping on your skate, you

1615
00:47:11,888 --> 00:47:13,888
know, but

1616
00:47:15,625 --> 00:47:16,126
you know, I'd like to see you

1617
00:47:16,126 --> 00:47:16,392
work on trying to reduce it

1618
00:47:16,392 --> 00:47:18,392
because uh. I

1619
00:47:20,163 --> 00:47:20,631
don't wanna move, you know,

1620
00:47:20,631 --> 00:47:20,965
down. I'm looking at South

1621
00:47:20,965 --> 00:47:22,965
Carolina $400,000

1622
00:47:24,567 --> 00:47:25,102
house pay $2200 in taxes. And I,

1623
00:47:25,102 --> 00:47:25,301
you know, like what the hell,

1624
00:47:25,301 --> 00:47:27,301
you know,

1625
00:47:29,380 --> 00:47:29,540
that's all I just, you know, and

1626
00:47:29,540 --> 00:47:29,739
I don't wanna move, but I'm

1627
00:47:29,739 --> 00:47:31,739
gonna have

1628
00:47:33,610 --> 00:47:34,144
to just as an observation and

1629
00:47:34,144 --> 00:47:34,377
and brought up. It's important

1630
00:47:34,377 --> 00:47:36,377
to note how

1631
00:47:37,948 --> 00:47:38,515
much of your tax bill goes

1632
00:47:38,515 --> 00:47:38,815
actually to the town. It's about

1633
00:47:38,815 --> 00:47:40,815
7%, so there's

1634
00:47:42,686 --> 00:47:43,253
a, you know, there's a, uh,

1635
00:47:43,253 --> 00:47:43,520
something that should be looked

1636
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,920
at by all the

1637
00:47:47,224 --> 00:47:47,790
residents to look actually at

1638
00:47:47,790 --> 00:47:48,250
the tax bill and you'll see that

1639
00:47:48,250 --> 00:47:50,250
the library

1640
00:47:51,861 --> 00:47:52,396
tax, the library has their own

1641
00:47:52,396 --> 00:47:52,595
board of trustees, just bring,

1642
00:47:52,595 --> 00:47:54,595
you know,

1643
00:47:56,650 --> 00:47:56,533
just thinking it, but you know.

1644
00:47:56,533 --> 00:47:56,799
So if, if your tax bill is

1645
00:47:56,799 --> 00:47:58,799
$10,000 we're

1646
00:48:00,638 --> 00:48:01,170
getting 7% of that, you know,

1647
00:48:01,170 --> 00:48:01,372
i'm on a fixed income, so when

1648
00:48:01,372 --> 00:48:03,372
everything

1649
00:48:05,750 --> 00:48:05,643
goes up around me, you know, in

1650
00:48:05,643 --> 00:48:05,843
the world. I have to make do. I

1651
00:48:05,843 --> 00:48:07,843
can't work

1652
00:48:09,747 --> 00:48:10,314
overtime anymore, you know, I

1653
00:48:10,314 --> 00:48:10,514
have a fixed income. And I have

1654
00:48:10,514 --> 00:48:12,514
to make do

1655
00:48:14,350 --> 00:48:14,919
and I have to do less with this

1656
00:48:14,919 --> 00:48:15,840
and that and that's pretty much

1657
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,840
all I'm

1658
00:48:18,821 --> 00:48:19,390
and, and the town has done the

1659
00:48:19,390 --> 00:48:19,555
same over the last several years

1660
00:48:19,555 --> 00:48:21,555
and, you

1661
00:48:23,193 --> 00:48:23,660
know, we've been very proud of

1662
00:48:23,660 --> 00:48:23,993
the fact that our fleet of

1663
00:48:23,993 --> 00:48:25,993
vehicles has been

1664
00:48:27,698 --> 00:48:28,264
refurbished, for example, rather

1665
00:48:28,264 --> 00:48:28,432
than buying new ones, you know,

1666
00:48:28,432 --> 00:48:30,432
the new,

1667
00:48:32,690 --> 00:48:32,635
new truck is about $300,000.

1668
00:48:32,635 --> 00:48:32,937
There's 10 wheelers, and I think

1669
00:48:32,937 --> 00:48:34,937
Andre Sorrentino

1670
00:48:36,974 --> 00:48:37,507
at the highway department has

1671
00:48:37,507 --> 00:48:37,775
done a great job doing a heavy

1672
00:48:37,775 --> 00:48:39,775
refurbishment

1673
00:48:41,210 --> 00:48:41,745
of them, you know, that's just

1674
00:48:41,745 --> 00:48:41,978
one example we're doing, we're

1675
00:48:41,978 --> 00:48:43,978
refurbishing

1676
00:48:45,683 --> 00:48:46,215
for $30,000 to $50,000 as

1677
00:48:46,215 --> 00:48:46,583
opposed to buying new trucks,

1678
00:48:46,583 --> 00:48:48,983
you know the highest

1679
00:48:50,154 --> 00:48:50,721
property taxes. No question,

1680
00:48:50,721 --> 00:48:50,987
it's very expensive and the town

1681
00:48:50,987 --> 00:48:52,987
is not immune

1682
00:48:54,592 --> 00:48:55,580
from inflationary pressures also

1683
00:48:55,580 --> 00:48:55,392
our costs are going up to

1684
00:48:55,392 --> 00:48:57,392
operate the town,

1685
00:48:59,262 --> 00:48:59,830
so you know we pay for gas too

1686
00:48:59,830 --> 00:48:59,996
you're welcome. Denise Schwartz,

1687
00:48:59,996 --> 00:49:01,996
followed

1688
00:49:03,766 --> 00:49:04,301
by Margaret Roebuck. Denise

1689
00:49:04,301 --> 00:49:04,602
Schwartz East Northport. I was

1690
00:49:04,602 --> 00:49:07,200
glad to see that

1691
00:49:08,105 --> 00:49:08,638
the vote to potentially override

1692
00:49:08,638 --> 00:49:08,806
the tax levy limit was removed

1693
00:49:08,806 --> 00:49:10,806
from the

1694
00:49:12,843 --> 00:49:13,409
agenda. I think that was a very

1695
00:49:13,409 --> 00:49:13,644
wise decision on the part of the

1696
00:49:13,644 --> 00:49:15,644
town board.

1697
00:49:17,247 --> 00:49:17,681
Um, we, we don't only need to

1698
00:49:17,681 --> 00:49:18,820
talk about older people

1699
00:49:18,820 --> 00:49:20,820
struggling and younger

1700
00:49:21,585 --> 00:49:22,152
families trying to establish

1701
00:49:22,152 --> 00:49:22,353
themselves, you know, we need to

1702
00:49:22,353 --> 00:49:24,353
talk about

1703
00:49:26,122 --> 00:49:26,690
all of us and if each one of us

1704
00:49:26,690 --> 00:49:26,856
had an extra million dollars, it

1705
00:49:26,856 --> 00:49:28,856
doesn't

1706
00:49:30,994 --> 00:49:31,528
mean it should get paid to the

1707
00:49:31,528 --> 00:49:31,828
town in taxes. So I appreciate

1708
00:49:31,828 --> 00:49:33,828
people feeling.

1709
00:49:35,432 --> 00:49:35,932
Concern and compassion for, for

1710
00:49:35,932 --> 00:49:36,133
those who struggle more than

1711
00:49:36,133 --> 00:49:38,133
others but

1712
00:49:39,903 --> 00:49:40,436
it's really about every single

1713
00:49:40,436 --> 00:49:40,703
one of us. I also see on this

1714
00:49:40,703 --> 00:49:42,703
agenda as MS.

1715
00:49:44,540 --> 00:49:45,420
Bloom brought up, there is an

1716
00:49:45,420 --> 00:49:45,308
interim settlement agreement

1717
00:49:45,308 --> 00:49:47,308
with lippa. We

1718
00:49:48,645 --> 00:49:49,213
cannot forget lia we cannot

1719
00:49:49,213 --> 00:49:49,445
forget that horrible settlement

1720
00:49:49,445 --> 00:49:51,445
which should

1721
00:49:53,116 --> 00:49:53,651
never have happened, and you

1722
00:49:53,651 --> 00:49:53,883
disagree. Well, and I strongly

1723
00:49:53,883 --> 00:49:55,883
disagree, as

1724
00:49:57,721 --> 00:49:58,288
does most of the community.

1725
00:49:58,288 --> 00:49:58,555
Thank you. Ok, that should never

1726
00:49:58,555 --> 00:50:00,555
have happened

1727
00:50:02,125 --> 00:50:02,693
and it's digging us into a.

1728
00:50:02,693 --> 00:50:02,926
Bigger and bigger hole, and they

1729
00:50:02,926 --> 00:50:04,926
are looking

1730
00:50:06,629 --> 00:50:07,970
to remove the transmission and

1731
00:50:07,970 --> 00:50:07,464
distribution lines in the

1732
00:50:07,464 --> 00:50:09,464
substations. They're

1733
00:50:11,235 --> 00:50:11,801
gonna try to take that plant

1734
00:50:11,801 --> 00:50:12,360
totally off the tax rolls, then

1735
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,360
where are we

1736
00:50:15,872 --> 00:50:16,407
and where is the Northport East

1737
00:50:16,407 --> 00:50:16,639
Northport School District, ok?

1738
00:50:16,639 --> 00:50:18,639
So the wise

1739
00:50:20,177 --> 00:50:20,678
thing to do, as other people

1740
00:50:20,678 --> 00:50:20,978
have mentioned, when we feel

1741
00:50:20,978 --> 00:50:22,978
hard times, you

1742
00:50:24,847 --> 00:50:25,381
know, we have to cut back we MAY

1743
00:50:25,381 --> 00:50:25,615
not want to take cut back you

1744
00:50:25,615 --> 00:50:27,615
have to tell

1745
00:50:29,286 --> 00:50:29,819
your kids I'm sorry you can't

1746
00:50:29,819 --> 00:50:30,860
have that. I'm sorry we can't

1747
00:50:30,860 --> 00:50:32,860
take that trip

1748
00:50:33,691 --> 00:50:34,257
this year we can't buy the new.

1749
00:50:34,257 --> 00:50:34,558
Car, every one of us has to make

1750
00:50:34,558 --> 00:50:36,558
those decisions

1751
00:50:38,262 --> 00:50:38,828
in our lives and anyone who

1752
00:50:38,828 --> 00:50:39,630
doesn't ever have to make those

1753
00:50:39,630 --> 00:50:41,630
choices, you

1754
00:50:42,899 --> 00:50:43,467
know, is very blessed and

1755
00:50:43,467 --> 00:50:43,767
fortunate and hopefully they've

1756
00:50:43,767 --> 00:50:45,767
worked hard for

1757
00:50:47,171 --> 00:50:47,737
that, so to talk about the

1758
00:50:47,737 --> 00:50:48,500
budget we have to be looking for

1759
00:50:48,500 --> 00:50:50,500
ways to reduce

1760
00:50:51,675 --> 00:50:52,208
the budget. There is plenty of

1761
00:50:52,208 --> 00:50:52,443
room. There are things you can

1762
00:50:52,443 --> 00:50:54,443
find in this

1763
00:50:56,247 --> 00:50:56,813
town budget and in the town

1764
00:50:56,813 --> 00:50:57,140
expenses. Of course, we can talk

1765
00:50:57,140 --> 00:50:59,140
about a $4

1766
00:51:00,751 --> 00:51:01,251
million contract, you know, gas

1767
00:51:01,251 --> 00:51:01,551
going up, we can discuss all

1768
00:51:01,551 --> 00:51:03,551
that, but there

1769
00:51:05,155 --> 00:51:05,688
is plenty of money you can. Find

1770
00:51:05,688 --> 00:51:05,956
to save money for the town and

1771
00:51:05,956 --> 00:51:07,956
the residents

1772
00:51:09,994 --> 00:51:10,560
it almost sounds like the school

1773
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:10,728
district if you vote no for the

1774
00:51:10,728 --> 00:51:12,728
budget,

1775
00:51:14,798 --> 00:51:15,365
we're taking from the kids. We

1776
00:51:15,365 --> 00:51:15,666
don't really wanna hear that we

1777
00:51:15,666 --> 00:51:17,666
need creativity

1778
00:51:19,168 --> 00:51:19,703
we need hard work on the part of

1779
00:51:19,703 --> 00:51:19,936
the town board and anyone who

1780
00:51:19,936 --> 00:51:21,936
manages our

1781
00:51:23,373 --> 00:51:23,908
finances here at the town

1782
00:51:23,908 --> 00:51:24,208
because we are going to be in

1783
00:51:24,208 --> 00:51:26,208
big, big trouble

1784
00:51:27,578 --> 00:51:28,144
you know, to agree to do that, I

1785
00:51:28,144 --> 00:51:28,312
don't think anything's funny. Is

1786
00:51:28,312 --> 00:51:30,312
somebody

1787
00:51:32,282 --> 00:51:32,816
laughing here? Well, I'm, I'm,

1788
00:51:32,816 --> 00:51:33,820
I'm amused by the, the thought

1789
00:51:33,820 --> 00:51:35,820
that you don't

1790
00:51:36,854 --> 00:51:37,388
think we've even looked at a

1791
00:51:37,388 --> 00:51:37,655
budget. We've been working on

1792
00:51:37,655 --> 00:51:39,655
the budget now

1793
00:51:41,358 --> 00:51:41,892
for two months. Ok, I just we

1794
00:51:41,892 --> 00:51:42,126
don't do it here in this room,

1795
00:51:42,126 --> 00:51:44,526
we do it at

1796
00:51:45,795 --> 00:51:46,330
a conference. Stable and we're

1797
00:51:46,330 --> 00:51:46,630
going through the budget line

1798
00:51:46,630 --> 00:51:48,630
There's, there's

1799
00:51:50,233 --> 00:51:50,801
money to find, trust me, there's

1800
00:51:50,801 --> 00:51:50,934
money to find you. You're right,

1801
00:51:50,934 --> 00:51:52,934
you're

1802
00:51:54,905 --> 00:51:55,471
right, and you know, I'm, I'm

1803
00:51:55,471 --> 00:51:55,673
going to produce a budget that's

1804
00:51:55,673 --> 00:51:57,673
below the

1805
00:51:59,510 --> 00:52:02,245
Carter and and not play

1806
00:52:02,245 --> 00:52:05,245
games. Thank you. Ok. Ok.

1807
00:52:06,282 --> 00:52:08,282
Margaret Roebuck, followed

1808
00:52:13,591 --> 00:52:15,991
by Leslie Tullo. Hi

1809
00:52:16,293 --> 00:52:19,293
I'm Margaret Roebuck, uh, that's

1810
00:52:19,462 --> 00:52:21,965
a hard act to follow. She did

1811
00:52:21,965 --> 00:52:22,533
a great job. She almost said

1812
00:52:22,533 --> 00:52:26,133
everything that I wanted to say

1813
00:52:26,202 --> 00:52:26,502
but I also wanna my family's

1814
00:52:26,502 --> 00:52:28,502
been living here

1815
00:52:29,340 --> 00:52:29,740
for over 66 years in Huntington

1816
00:52:29,740 --> 00:52:32,740
and we've, I've seen a

1817
00:52:32,976 --> 00:52:33,309
lot of changes, ok, and one of

1818
00:52:33,309 --> 00:52:35,309
the biggest things

1819
00:52:37,915 --> 00:52:38,415
again, my question is why I'm

1820
00:52:38,415 --> 00:52:38,616
really here was why are you

1821
00:52:38,616 --> 00:52:40,616
going to.

1822
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:42,285
Override the tax cap. What

1823
00:52:42,285 --> 00:52:44,285
reasons and

1824
00:52:45,155 --> 00:52:45,688
what's going to go for. Now I

1825
00:52:45,688 --> 00:52:45,789
heard some of the things that

1826
00:52:45,789 --> 00:52:47,789
you

1827
00:52:49,930 --> 00:52:49,325
said that it have gone up in

1828
00:52:49,325 --> 00:52:51,325
cost, but I

1829
00:52:53,529 --> 00:52:54,310
mean a person like me on a fixed

1830
00:52:54,310 --> 00:52:57,310
income is getting harder and

1831
00:52:57,934 --> 00:52:58,469
harder. And now, uh, when they

1832
00:52:58,469 --> 00:52:58,802
talk about oh let's build more

1833
00:52:58,802 --> 00:53:00,802
affordable housing

1834
00:53:02,372 --> 00:53:02,940
I don't see affordable housing

1835
00:53:02,940 --> 00:53:06,542
going up. All I see is more and

1836
00:53:06,542 --> 00:53:07,111
more stress on the

1837
00:53:07,111 --> 00:53:07,277
infrastructure. All I see is my

1838
00:53:07,277 --> 00:53:09,277
gas, my

1839
00:53:11,215 --> 00:53:11,715
electric, my car insurance,

1840
00:53:11,715 --> 00:53:12,160
everything. Things going on

1841
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,160
because of more

1842
00:53:15,852 --> 00:53:16,286
people. I try to you try to get

1843
00:53:16,286 --> 00:53:16,487
a drive any place. It's

1844
00:53:16,487 --> 00:53:18,487
impossible

1845
00:53:20,257 --> 00:53:20,723
the amount of people on the

1846
00:53:20,723 --> 00:53:21,580
road, and it's like again,

1847
00:53:21,580 --> 00:53:23,580
everything's going

1848
00:53:24,795 --> 00:53:25,362
up and up and up. What about

1849
00:53:25,362 --> 00:53:25,763
these young people? How are they

1850
00:53:25,763 --> 00:53:28,163
going to afford these

1851
00:53:29,732 --> 00:53:30,267
million-dollar homes. When I see

1852
00:53:30,267 --> 00:53:33,267
across the street, ok, people

1853
00:53:33,803 --> 00:53:34,371
moving in and they got their

1854
00:53:34,371 --> 00:53:34,438
extended family, you know, 5 and

1855
00:53:34,438 --> 00:53:36,438
6

1856
00:53:38,341 --> 00:53:38,876
families in a single-family home

1857
00:53:38,876 --> 00:53:39,420
because they're the only ones

1858
00:53:39,420 --> 00:53:41,420
that can

1859
00:53:43,147 --> 00:53:43,714
afford and these are basically

1860
00:53:43,714 --> 00:53:43,913
foreigners, ok? And they're the

1861
00:53:43,913 --> 00:53:45,913
only ones

1862
00:53:47,451 --> 00:53:48,180
that are able to afford these

1863
00:53:48,180 --> 00:53:48,285
million-dollar homes that in my

1864
00:53:48,285 --> 00:53:50,285
opinion, it's

1865
00:53:51,821 --> 00:53:52,221
like my my house is nowhere near

1866
00:53:52,221 --> 00:53:54,621
a million dollars, ok

1867
00:53:56,693 --> 00:53:57,261
but this is what's going up for

1868
00:53:57,261 --> 00:53:57,427
sale. And people are buying them

1869
00:53:57,427 --> 00:53:59,427
but not

1870
00:54:01,164 --> 00:54:01,665
our young people. Not our young

1871
00:54:01,665 --> 00:54:01,898
people at all, and it's sad.

1872
00:54:01,898 --> 00:54:03,898
It's sad and

1873
00:54:05,536 --> 00:54:06,102
it's like. It's unbelievable and

1874
00:54:06,102 --> 00:54:06,203
it's like. How are we gonna live

1875
00:54:06,203 --> 00:54:08,203
here

1876
00:54:09,907 --> 00:54:10,407
I'm almost getting to the point

1877
00:54:10,407 --> 00:54:10,708
that I've lived here all my

1878
00:54:10,708 --> 00:54:12,708
life, just about

1879
00:54:14,310 --> 00:54:14,778
and I have to leave because I

1880
00:54:14,778 --> 00:54:15,246
can't afford to live here

1881
00:54:15,246 --> 00:54:17,646
anymore. And young people

1882
00:54:19,490 --> 00:54:19,148
can't even come in. On here.

1883
00:54:19,148 --> 00:54:21,148
It's

1884
00:54:21,818 --> 00:54:22,218
I mean, we've elected you

1885
00:54:22,218 --> 00:54:24,618
people. You should be

1886
00:54:25,689 --> 00:54:25,855
brainstorming for us. Please,

1887
00:54:25,855 --> 00:54:27,855
you You

1888
00:54:28,458 --> 00:54:28,858
know, do something and that

1889
00:54:28,858 --> 00:54:31,258
instead of letting us

1890
00:54:32,763 --> 00:54:33,264
struggle here. Well as I say,

1891
00:54:33,264 --> 00:54:33,363
well, this is going up. Well

1892
00:54:33,363 --> 00:54:35,363
why?

1893
00:54:36,967 --> 00:54:37,334
Ok. And the answer is, oh, we'll

1894
00:54:37,334 --> 00:54:40,334
do this and do that

1895
00:54:41,304 --> 00:54:41,772
and I'm going, look at the

1896
00:54:41,772 --> 00:54:41,904
consequences on everything

1897
00:54:41,904 --> 00:54:43,904
that's

1898
00:54:46,109 --> 00:54:46,509
happening. All right, thank you.

1899
00:54:46,509 --> 00:54:48,509
Leslie Tollop followed

1900
00:54:56,653 --> 00:54:58,653
by Samuel Ashkenazi.

1901
00:55:02,293 --> 00:55:04,693
Good afternoon Leslie Tollop

1902
00:55:06,130 --> 00:55:06,430
um, I first would like to read

1903
00:55:06,430 --> 00:55:08,430
into the record

1904
00:55:10,601 --> 00:55:11,134
uh, communication from the

1905
00:55:11,134 --> 00:55:11,335
school district. Uh, from MR.

1906
00:55:11,335 --> 00:55:13,335
O'Farrell

1907
00:55:15,305 --> 00:55:15,873
uh, said, good morning, thank

1908
00:55:15,873 --> 00:55:15,972
you for reaching out and sharing

1909
00:55:15,972 --> 00:55:17,972
your

1910
00:55:19,610 --> 00:55:20,440
concerns. I've been in touch

1911
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,440
with COUNCILMAN Bernardo

1912
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:24,548
with regards to the matter of

1913
00:55:24,548 --> 00:55:26,548
the mtcod and

1914
00:55:28,718 --> 00:55:29,253
he's indicated that he would

1915
00:55:29,253 --> 00:55:29,519
share these concerns with the

1916
00:55:29,519 --> 00:55:31,519
supervisor and

1917
00:55:33,189 --> 00:55:33,690
the council, um, as you know,

1918
00:55:33,690 --> 00:55:33,891
I've been both publicly and

1919
00:55:33,891 --> 00:55:35,891
privately

1920
00:55:37,694 --> 00:55:38,228
seeking clarification on the

1921
00:55:38,228 --> 00:55:38,528
pause. Now we all are seeking

1922
00:55:38,528 --> 00:55:40,528
clarification on

1923
00:55:42,990 --> 00:55:42,599
the pause. I've also stated

1924
00:55:42,599 --> 00:55:42,932
publicly that I believe most

1925
00:55:42,932 --> 00:55:44,932
people assume that

1926
00:55:46,537 --> 00:55:47,700
a pause would imply waiting

1927
00:55:47,700 --> 00:55:50,700
until after the 1st 400 units

1928
00:55:51,342 --> 00:55:51,675
occupied to evaluate the actual

1929
00:55:51,675 --> 00:55:53,675
real world impact.

1930
00:55:55,779 --> 00:55:56,313
Having said that, I understand

1931
00:55:56,313 --> 00:55:56,412
that my interpretation is not

1932
00:55:56,412 --> 00:55:58,412
how

1933
00:56:00,183 --> 00:56:00,684
developers and seemingly the

1934
00:56:00,684 --> 00:56:00,851
town interpret this codified

1935
00:56:00,851 --> 00:56:02,851
language

1936
00:56:04,555 --> 00:56:05,121
I can't speak to the exact

1937
00:56:05,121 --> 00:56:08,121
interpretation other than to say

1938
00:56:09,260 --> 00:56:09,592
that it seems very different

1939
00:56:09,592 --> 00:56:09,892
from my own. The resolution and

1940
00:56:09,892 --> 00:56:11,892
vote tomorrow is

1941
00:56:13,963 --> 00:56:14,498
to schedule a public hearing.

1942
00:56:14,498 --> 00:56:14,665
They are not voting to approve

1943
00:56:14,665 --> 00:56:16,665
or deny

1944
00:56:18,134 --> 00:56:18,702
the application at this point,

1945
00:56:18,702 --> 00:56:19,360
uh, and if they vote to approve

1946
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,360
the resolution, i

1947
00:56:22,873 --> 00:56:23,406
would hope that there is mention

1948
00:56:23,406 --> 00:56:23,607
or consideration of the pause

1949
00:56:23,607 --> 00:56:25,607
when they

1950
00:56:27,278 --> 00:56:27,810
are scheduling the actual public

1951
00:56:27,810 --> 00:56:28,780
hearing, without clarification

1952
00:56:28,780 --> 00:56:30,780
or specifics,

1953
00:56:31,915 --> 00:56:32,415
this will be the most revealing

1954
00:56:32,415 --> 00:56:32,650
insight into how the town is

1955
00:56:32,650 --> 00:56:34,650
interpreting

1956
00:56:36,850 --> 00:56:36,654
this language in Sierra Lee,

1957
00:56:36,654 --> 00:56:36,754
John. And so this body approved

1958
00:56:36,754 --> 00:56:38,754
the

1959
00:56:40,791 --> 00:56:41,225
steel equities, uh,

1960
00:56:41,225 --> 00:56:43,225
construction, 400 units

1961
00:56:45,195 --> 00:56:45,663
and our understanding was that

1962
00:56:45,663 --> 00:56:48,663
those 400 units were to be

1963
00:56:49,599 --> 00:56:49,966
the test run to see how this

1964
00:56:49,966 --> 00:56:51,966
development of this

1965
00:56:52,803 --> 00:56:53,303
area would work. And that we

1966
00:56:53,303 --> 00:56:55,703
understood that the hospital

1967
00:56:56,507 --> 00:56:56,840
would be coming in and the

1968
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:58,840
associated office

1969
00:56:59,777 --> 00:56:59,976
space and how that would impact

1970
00:56:59,976 --> 00:57:01,976
the trans

1971
00:57:03,247 --> 00:57:06,150
uh the um traffic, the

1972
00:57:06,150 --> 00:57:08,415
environment, the school district

1973
00:57:09,819 --> 00:57:12,590
and now, uh, I think the

1974
00:57:12,590 --> 00:57:12,890
um, we all are owed some sort of

1975
00:57:12,890 --> 00:57:14,890
an understanding

1976
00:57:16,660 --> 00:57:16,794
and explanation as to why 400

1977
00:57:16,794 --> 00:57:18,794
units

1978
00:57:19,730 --> 00:57:23,500
uh, is not a hard cap. I, I'll

1979
00:57:23,500 --> 00:57:23,834
be happy to address that. So the

1980
00:57:23,834 --> 00:57:25,834
400 units was, was

1981
00:57:27,972 --> 00:57:28,305
was decided on because that was

1982
00:57:28,305 --> 00:57:30,305
the sewer capacity

1983
00:57:31,441 --> 00:57:31,874
that the county had said to us

1984
00:57:31,874 --> 00:57:34,274
that there's a capacity

1985
00:57:34,979 --> 00:57:35,278
for 400 residential units. So

1986
00:57:35,278 --> 00:57:37,278
that's how that

1987
00:57:39,382 --> 00:57:39,817
number as far as what the, what

1988
00:57:39,817 --> 00:57:42,817
the, the pause was about

1989
00:57:43,753 --> 00:57:44,254
The pause, I was very clear with

1990
00:57:44,254 --> 00:57:44,520
every civic group I ever met

1991
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,520
with that they

1992
00:57:48,459 --> 00:57:48,792
that this pause was not going to

1993
00:57:48,792 --> 00:57:51,792
be a stop and That

1994
00:57:52,762 --> 00:57:53,330
the buildings would have to get

1995
00:57:53,330 --> 00:57:53,496
built before we would move on to

1996
00:57:53,496 --> 00:57:55,496
the next

1997
00:57:57,300 --> 00:57:57,868
building. That that is never

1998
00:57:57,868 --> 00:57:58,168
been discussed. In fact, it was

1999
00:57:58,168 --> 00:58:00,168
very clear with

2000
00:58:01,838 --> 00:58:02,339
anybody that asked that that is

2001
00:58:02,339 --> 00:58:02,605
not what the pause was. The

2002
00:58:02,605 --> 00:58:04,605
pause was the

2003
00:58:06,209 --> 00:58:06,744
pause acted as a brake on

2004
00:58:06,744 --> 00:58:07,430
overdevelopment is really what

2005
00:58:07,430 --> 00:58:09,443
it came down to.

2006
00:58:10,780 --> 00:58:11,315
It was not a secondary

2007
00:58:11,315 --> 00:58:11,749
environmental impact study. It

2008
00:58:11,749 --> 00:58:14,749
was not a second seeker

2009
00:58:15,386 --> 00:58:15,920
review. All of those things are

2010
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:16,850
things that the developers are

2011
00:58:16,850 --> 00:58:18,850
required

2012
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:20,556
to do as part of the development

2013
00:58:20,556 --> 00:58:20,724
process. The the pause was our

2014
00:58:20,724 --> 00:58:22,724
break on

2015
00:58:24,193 --> 00:58:24,728
the. Process to make sure that

2016
00:58:24,728 --> 00:58:24,961
we didn't have a flood of new

2017
00:58:24,961 --> 00:58:26,961
applications

2018
00:58:28,899 --> 00:58:29,399
coming through the door where we

2019
00:58:29,399 --> 00:58:29,667
can stop that process and we

2020
00:58:29,667 --> 00:58:31,667
baked it into

2021
00:58:33,303 --> 00:58:33,871
the resolution to make sure that

2022
00:58:33,871 --> 00:58:34,171
we maintain control of the pace

2023
00:58:34,171 --> 00:58:36,171
of development.

2024
00:58:37,908 --> 00:58:38,474
Quite frankly, watching the pace

2025
00:58:38,474 --> 00:58:38,642
of development in Melville right

2026
00:58:38,642 --> 00:58:40,642
now, uh,

2027
00:58:42,379 --> 00:58:42,946
you know, we, we, we passed this

2028
00:58:42,946 --> 00:58:43,113
about a year and a half ago. We

2029
00:58:43,113 --> 00:58:45,113
got one

2030
00:58:47,151 --> 00:58:47,685
application in so far that has

2031
00:58:47,685 --> 00:58:47,918
gone through the approval. It

2032
00:58:47,918 --> 00:58:49,918
was approved

2033
00:58:51,455 --> 00:58:52,220
8 months ago. They're not even

2034
00:58:52,220 --> 00:58:52,255
close to breaking ground on it,

2035
00:58:52,255 --> 00:58:54,255
so you know,

2036
00:58:55,893 --> 00:58:56,392
the, the, the, the concerns that

2037
00:58:56,392 --> 00:58:56,660
were raised. And one of the

2038
00:58:56,660 --> 00:58:58,660
concerns that

2039
00:59:00,463 --> 00:59:00,964
that brought about this pause.

2040
00:59:00,964 --> 00:59:01,230
Was that we would enact the

2041
00:59:01,230 --> 00:59:03,230
Melville Town

2042
00:59:04,902 --> 00:59:05,302
Center overlay district and

2043
00:59:05,302 --> 00:59:05,735
there'd be a flood of

2044
00:59:05,735 --> 00:59:07,735
applications through the

2045
00:59:09,306 --> 00:59:09,872
door. The opposite has been

2046
00:59:09,872 --> 00:59:10,740
true. We, we, you know, the, the

2047
00:59:10,740 --> 00:59:12,740
applicant,

2048
00:59:14,211 --> 00:59:14,711
this is we're, we're scheduling

2049
00:59:14,711 --> 00:59:14,945
a public hearing for the 2nd

2050
00:59:14,945 --> 00:59:16,945
application,

2051
00:59:18,282 --> 00:59:18,815
a year and a half after we

2052
00:59:18,815 --> 00:59:19,830
enacted it. So, you know, the,

2053
00:59:19,830 --> 00:59:21,830
the, the, the

2054
00:59:22,853 --> 00:59:23,319
scaremongering that took place a

2055
00:59:23,319 --> 00:59:23,621
year and a half ago about

2056
00:59:23,621 --> 00:59:25,621
overdevelopment

2057
00:59:27,291 --> 00:59:27,824
of Melville has never

2058
00:59:27,824 --> 00:59:28,224
materialized. Yeah, so that, I

2059
00:59:28,224 --> 00:59:30,624
mean, that's the, the,

2060
00:59:31,862 --> 00:59:32,429
the pause was not a second

2061
00:59:32,429 --> 00:59:32,662
secret or a second environmental

2062
00:59:32,662 --> 00:59:34,662
review or a

2063
00:59:36,367 --> 00:59:36,934
second traffic study. It was, it

2064
00:59:36,934 --> 00:59:37,166
was our control over the pace of

2065
00:59:37,166 --> 00:59:39,166
development

2066
00:59:40,937 --> 00:59:41,405
in Melville. And frankly, I

2067
00:59:41,405 --> 00:59:41,704
think it's too slow. Uh, I

2068
00:59:41,704 --> 00:59:43,704
think, you know,

2069
00:59:45,375 --> 00:59:45,943
and I know my time is up, but,

2070
00:59:45,943 --> 00:59:46,109
um, if you don't see the impact

2071
00:59:46,109 --> 00:59:48,109
that the

2072
00:59:49,647 --> 00:59:50,214
400 units, once they are

2073
00:59:50,214 --> 00:59:50,547
developed, occupied and in use,

2074
00:59:50,547 --> 00:59:52,947
and plus the other

2075
00:59:54,652 --> 00:59:55,184
development from Northwell, um,

2076
00:59:55,184 --> 00:59:55,485
then you really have no way of

2077
00:59:55,485 --> 00:59:57,485
gauging whether

2078
00:59:58,988 --> 00:59:59,523
or not you could. Um, Extend

2079
00:59:59,523 --> 00:59:59,924
another 168 units or even more

2080
00:59:59,924 --> 01:00:01,924
if those applications

2081
01:00:03,527 --> 01:00:04,930
came in. Our understanding, and

2082
01:00:04,930 --> 01:00:04,295
maybe it was a misunderstanding

2083
01:00:04,295 --> 01:00:06,295
apparently

2084
01:00:07,964 --> 01:00:08,499
by the school district as well,

2085
01:00:08,499 --> 01:00:08,732
that there really was going to

2086
01:00:08,732 --> 01:00:10,732
be, uh, that

2087
01:00:12,402 --> 01:00:12,970
you were going to use this more

2088
01:00:12,970 --> 01:00:13,136
as a test case, so that we could

2089
01:00:13,136 --> 01:00:15,136
we could

2090
01:00:17,700 --> 01:00:17,508
develop that property and what

2091
01:00:17,508 --> 01:00:17,841
that would mean in terms of

2092
01:00:17,841 --> 01:00:19,841
reopening schools

2093
01:00:21,445 --> 01:00:21,979
and traffic up and down Route

2094
01:00:21,979 --> 01:00:22,212
110. So, um, you know, I guess

2095
01:00:22,212 --> 01:00:24,212
there are a

2096
01:00:26,549 --> 01:00:27,840
lot of people. Who did not quite

2097
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:27,251
understand your interpretation

2098
01:00:27,251 --> 01:00:29,251
of that

2099
01:00:30,921 --> 01:00:31,221
400. Cap and uh what our

2100
01:00:31,221 --> 01:00:33,221
interpretation.

2101
01:00:34,891 --> 01:00:35,224
Was so maybe I, you know, a

2102
01:00:35,224 --> 01:00:37,224
little work before

2103
01:00:40,297 --> 01:00:40,830
that hearing, or you're gonna

2104
01:00:40,830 --> 01:00:41,650
get a lot more questions like

2105
01:00:41,650 --> 01:00:43,650
mine. Thank

2106
01:00:44,534 --> 01:00:44,601
you. Samuel Eskenazi, followed

2107
01:00:44,601 --> 01:00:46,601
by

2108
01:00:48,839 --> 01:00:50,839
Anthony Cacciato. Hello

2109
01:00:51,341 --> 01:00:51,542
everyone. Uh, my name is Samuel

2110
01:00:51,542 --> 01:00:53,542
Ashkenazi

2111
01:00:55,312 --> 01:00:55,845
I am a local small business

2112
01:00:55,845 --> 01:00:58,245
owner, political activist, and

2113
01:00:59,582 --> 01:01:00,117
performer, and the arts and

2114
01:01:00,117 --> 01:01:00,451
entertainment contributor for

2115
01:01:00,451 --> 01:01:02,451
the Long Islander

2116
01:01:04,530 --> 01:01:04,622
newspaper, but of course, Ed,

2117
01:01:04,622 --> 01:01:04,855
you know me from insulting me to

2118
01:01:04,855 --> 01:01:06,855
my face and

2119
01:01:08,726 --> 01:01:09,259
for just asking a basic question

2120
01:01:09,259 --> 01:01:09,493
about congressional leadership

2121
01:01:09,493 --> 01:01:11,493
and calling

2122
01:01:13,163 --> 01:01:13,730
me a crazy blue-haired liberal.

2123
01:01:13,730 --> 01:01:13,931
Anyway, today, I'm here to talk

2124
01:01:13,931 --> 01:01:15,931
about the

2125
01:01:17,834 --> 01:01:18,369
flat cameras. Uh, the town of

2126
01:01:18,369 --> 01:01:18,635
Huntington has been installing

2127
01:01:18,635 --> 01:01:20,635
flock cameras.

2128
01:01:22,239 --> 01:01:22,705
These cameras, otherwise known

2129
01:01:22,705 --> 01:01:23,700
as automatic license plate

2130
01:01:23,700 --> 01:01:25,700
readers, ALPRs,

2131
01:01:26,677 --> 01:01:27,243
or ShotSpotters are used to.

2132
01:01:27,243 --> 01:01:27,478
Photographs, every license plate

2133
01:01:27,478 --> 01:01:29,478
that drives

2134
01:01:31,148 --> 01:01:31,714
past it, the purpose is to be

2135
01:01:31,714 --> 01:01:31,916
able to track our movements on a

2136
01:01:31,916 --> 01:01:33,916
minute to

2137
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:36,453
minute basis. This is a clear

2138
01:01:36,453 --> 01:01:36,720
government overreach, clearly

2139
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,720
infringing on

2140
01:01:40,124 --> 01:01:40,690
our rights to privacy. And to

2141
01:01:40,690 --> 01:01:40,891
add insult to injury, anyone who

2142
01:01:40,891 --> 01:01:42,891
criticizes

2143
01:01:44,662 --> 01:01:45,194
this technology, the ceo of

2144
01:01:45,194 --> 01:01:45,561
Flock has called a terrorist.

2145
01:01:45,561 --> 01:01:47,561
Beyond that though,

2146
01:01:49,199 --> 01:01:49,767
it is a vastly flawed technology

2147
01:01:49,767 --> 01:01:50,990
across the country we have seen

2148
01:01:50,990 --> 01:01:52,990
misidentification

2149
01:01:53,803 --> 01:01:54,371
rates of 70 to 80%, which has

2150
01:01:54,371 --> 01:01:54,638
led to devastating consequences.

2151
01:01:54,638 --> 01:01:56,638
Police wrongly

2152
01:01:58,475 --> 01:01:58,975
pulling over families and cars,

2153
01:01:58,975 --> 01:01:59,209
traumatizing children in in

2154
01:01:59,209 --> 01:02:01,209
accidentally

2155
01:02:02,712 --> 01:02:03,247
injuring the drivers, many, many

2156
01:02:03,247 --> 01:02:03,414
instances where, frankly, it's

2157
01:02:03,414 --> 01:02:05,414
wrongly

2158
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:07,650
thinning out our police

2159
01:02:07,650 --> 01:02:07,951
resources. One examination found

2160
01:02:07,951 --> 01:02:09,951
that out of 8500

2161
01:02:11,855 --> 01:02:12,389
calls for police to respond to

2162
01:02:12,389 --> 01:02:12,656
Flat cameras or shots. Otters

2163
01:02:12,656 --> 01:02:14,656
only 20% were

2164
01:02:16,930 --> 01:02:16,626
legitimately worthy of their

2165
01:02:16,626 --> 01:02:16,860
calls. These citizens that are

2166
01:02:16,860 --> 01:02:18,860
at the mercy

2167
01:02:20,730 --> 01:02:21,265
of these misidentifications,

2168
01:02:21,265 --> 01:02:21,531
also have to hire lawyers. We

2169
01:02:21,531 --> 01:02:23,531
are already at

2170
01:02:25,690 --> 01:02:25,635
the mercy of a Republican

2171
01:02:25,635 --> 01:02:25,902
administration bringing us into

2172
01:02:25,902 --> 01:02:27,902
an unnecessary

2173
01:02:29,807 --> 01:02:30,373
war, raising our gas prices and

2174
01:02:30,373 --> 01:02:30,541
energy prices, and we can't find

2175
01:02:30,541 --> 01:02:32,541
housing

2176
01:02:34,278 --> 01:02:34,778
or healthcare. I'm here during

2177
01:02:34,778 --> 01:02:35,790
my job to speak right now. I

2178
01:02:35,790 --> 01:02:37,790
should not have

2179
01:02:38,882 --> 01:02:39,449
to leave work to protect our

2180
01:02:39,449 --> 01:02:39,650
freedoms and privacy because you

2181
01:02:39,650 --> 01:02:41,650
guys want

2182
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:43,886
to find us into infinitum. Our

2183
01:02:43,886 --> 01:02:44,540
police are also already stressed

2184
01:02:44,540 --> 01:02:46,540
as is. I

2185
01:02:47,690 --> 01:02:48,225
know people in this office so

2186
01:02:48,225 --> 01:02:48,492
avidly defend the police, and

2187
01:02:48,492 --> 01:02:50,492
yet by giving

2188
01:02:52,128 --> 01:02:52,595
them flawed technology, you are

2189
01:02:52,595 --> 01:02:52,862
making their jobs harder,

2190
01:02:52,862 --> 01:02:54,862
allowing real

2191
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:57,367
criminals to escape in moments

2192
01:02:57,367 --> 01:02:57,601
when they're responding to flock

2193
01:02:57,601 --> 01:02:59,601
camera calls

2194
01:03:01,405 --> 01:03:01,938
that are illegitimate. This is

2195
01:03:01,938 --> 01:03:02,272
wrong for the public. It is a

2196
01:03:02,272 --> 01:03:04,272
dangerous invasion

2197
01:03:05,809 --> 01:03:06,376
of our privacy, and it has

2198
01:03:06,376 --> 01:03:06,644
bipartisan support. Republicans

2199
01:03:06,644 --> 01:03:08,644
and Democrats

2200
01:03:10,413 --> 01:03:10,981
do not want to be surveilled in

2201
01:03:10,981 --> 01:03:11,180
our town that we already have so

2202
01:03:11,180 --> 01:03:13,180
much pride

2203
01:03:14,617 --> 01:03:15,119
in keeping safe. Our tax dollars

2204
01:03:15,119 --> 01:03:15,385
also should not be going to

2205
01:03:15,385 --> 01:03:17,385
this. I don't

2206
01:03:19,122 --> 01:03:19,422
I didn't see any ruling. I

2207
01:03:19,422 --> 01:03:21,422
didn't see any.

2208
01:03:22,326 --> 01:03:22,559
At any vote as to making my tax

2209
01:03:22,559 --> 01:03:24,559
dollars pay

2210
01:03:25,963 --> 01:03:26,960
for these cameras. Considering

2211
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:28,960
all of

2212
01:03:28,831 --> 01:03:29,132
the flaws with them, considering

2213
01:03:29,132 --> 01:03:31,532
the ceo has said

2214
01:03:32,736 --> 01:03:33,370
such vastly damaging things. Is

2215
01:03:33,370 --> 01:03:35,370
this really the

2216
01:03:37,207 --> 01:03:37,608
tytytype of technology we want to be

2217
01:03:37,608 --> 01:03:38,750
installing in, in, in

2218
01:03:38,750 --> 01:03:40,750
Huntington. That's, that's

2219
01:03:41,645 --> 01:03:42,112
what I had to say for it today.

2220
01:03:42,112 --> 01:03:44,512
Thank you. You're welcome.

2221
01:03:50,587 --> 01:03:50,853
Anthony Cacchiato, followed by

2222
01:03:50,853 --> 01:03:52,853
Robert Lamont.

2223
01:03:53,856 --> 01:03:54,391
Good afternoon, MR. Supervisor

2224
01:03:54,391 --> 01:03:54,591
and the rest of the board. Uh,

2225
01:03:54,591 --> 01:03:56,591
my name's

2226
01:03:57,994 --> 01:03:58,562
Anthony Cachado. I'm a proud

2227
01:03:58,562 --> 01:03:58,828
Huntington Village resident and

2228
01:03:58,828 --> 01:04:00,828
a law student

2229
01:04:02,399 --> 01:04:02,967
over at Tre Law Center. Uh, I'm

2230
01:04:02,967 --> 01:04:03,133
rising today just to commend the

2231
01:04:03,133 --> 01:04:05,133
board on

2232
01:04:06,536 --> 01:04:07,710
taking the next step on, uh, the

2233
01:04:07,710 --> 01:04:07,370
Melville Town Overlay District

2234
01:04:07,370 --> 01:04:09,370
by scheduling a

2235
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:11,541
public hearing, uh, for the next

2236
01:04:11,541 --> 01:04:11,774
mixed use project over there,

2237
01:04:11,774 --> 01:04:13,774
um, you know

2238
01:04:15,446 --> 01:04:15,979
I've come before the board many

2239
01:04:15,979 --> 01:04:19,579
times on this issue of housing

2240
01:04:20,116 --> 01:04:20,618
in Huntington. It's an issue

2241
01:04:20,618 --> 01:04:20,918
that affects everybody, but

2242
01:04:20,918 --> 01:04:22,918
also, you know,

2243
01:04:24,355 --> 01:04:24,855
especially impacts young Long

2244
01:04:24,855 --> 01:04:25,122
Islanders who are. Concerned

2245
01:04:25,122 --> 01:04:27,122
about whether

2246
01:04:29,580 --> 01:04:29,526
or not we can afford to stay on

2247
01:04:29,526 --> 01:04:29,859
Long Island. So I mean the

2248
01:04:29,859 --> 01:04:31,859
median home price

2249
01:04:33,630 --> 01:04:34,198
right now last JUNE was around

2250
01:04:34,198 --> 01:04:34,431
$750,000. Um, but you know, in a

2251
01:04:34,431 --> 01:04:36,431
lot of ways

2252
01:04:37,901 --> 01:04:38,401
what is happening in Melviville

2253
01:04:38,401 --> 01:04:38,669
right now is, is a bold and

2254
01:04:38,669 --> 01:04:40,669
necessary step

2255
01:04:42,538 --> 01:04:43,400
that Huntington is pioneering on

2256
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:43,273
right now, and I think that

2257
01:04:43,273 --> 01:04:45,273
that's going

2258
01:04:46,943 --> 01:04:47,443
to be something that, as it

2259
01:04:47,443 --> 01:04:47,878
develops and, you know, I, I

2260
01:04:47,878 --> 01:04:50,278
agree is not developing,

2261
01:04:51,514 --> 01:04:52,490
uh, you know, at the speed that

2262
01:04:52,490 --> 01:04:52,248
we thought it would, but, um,

2263
01:04:52,248 --> 01:04:54,248
you know,

2264
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:56,620
when it does, we'll not only

2265
01:04:56,620 --> 01:04:56,854
provide us the opportunity to uh

2266
01:04:56,854 --> 01:04:58,854
give options

2267
01:05:00,556 --> 01:05:01,580
to. You know, young, uh young

2268
01:05:01,580 --> 01:05:01,325
individuals in this town to

2269
01:05:01,325 --> 01:05:03,325
afford to live

2270
01:05:04,795 --> 01:05:05,195
here, but, uh, provide

2271
01:05:05,195 --> 01:05:05,695
opportunities for new

2272
01:05:05,695 --> 01:05:08,695
businesses, uh, to help, you

2273
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:10,166
know, increase our tax levy,

2274
01:05:10,166 --> 01:05:10,401
tried to use that to, you know,

2275
01:05:10,401 --> 01:05:12,401
help improve

2276
01:05:14,710 --> 01:05:14,605
our infrastructure and address

2277
01:05:14,605 --> 01:05:14,872
those concerns. It's something

2278
01:05:14,872 --> 01:05:16,872
that I'm very

2279
01:05:18,441 --> 01:05:18,943
heartened to see, and you know,

2280
01:05:18,943 --> 01:05:19,175
I look forward to seeing how

2281
01:05:19,175 --> 01:05:21,175
this project

2282
01:05:23,113 --> 01:05:23,680
really kind of pans out going

2283
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:23,914
forward because I, I think that

2284
01:05:23,914 --> 01:05:25,914
young people

2285
01:05:27,518 --> 01:05:28,180
really are struggling with

2286
01:05:28,180 --> 01:05:28,319
housing right now, and it's,

2287
01:05:28,319 --> 01:05:30,319
it's heartening

2288
01:05:31,888 --> 01:05:32,423
to see that there's, you know,

2289
01:05:32,423 --> 01:05:32,655
this sort of bold and actions

2290
01:05:32,655 --> 01:05:34,655
being taken

2291
01:05:42,465 --> 01:05:42,967
by the town board. So thank you

2292
01:05:42,967 --> 01:05:43,267
for, for really taking that

2293
01:05:43,267 --> 01:05:45,267
necessary step,

2294
01:05:46,804 --> 01:05:47,371
and I look forward to seeing how

2295
01:05:47,371 --> 01:05:47,570
it develops going forward. Thank

2296
01:05:47,570 --> 01:05:49,570
you. Thank

2297
01:05:52,276 --> 01:05:52,842
you. Robert Lamont, followed by

2298
01:05:52,842 --> 01:05:53,100
Gail Jasper. Right, so, uh, the

2299
01:05:53,100 --> 01:05:55,100
question

2300
01:05:56,714 --> 01:05:57,214
is affordability unfortunately,

2301
01:05:57,214 --> 01:05:57,448
and you know we talked about

2302
01:05:57,448 --> 01:05:59,448
this before

2303
01:06:01,417 --> 01:06:01,918
and the beauty now we're gonna

2304
01:06:01,918 --> 01:06:02,252
have a hospital in Melville

2305
01:06:02,252 --> 01:06:04,252
thanks to Kenneth

2306
01:06:05,856 --> 01:06:06,223
and you know he's gonna. He, he

2307
01:06:06,223 --> 01:06:06,624
bought the land for

2308
01:06:06,624 --> 01:06:08,624
approximately $10035.5

2309
01:06:10,261 --> 01:06:10,760
million and it's a 45 acre

2310
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:14,360
parcel and he's gonna put a

2311
01:06:14,698 --> 01:06:15,232
billion dollars hospital on it,

2312
01:06:15,232 --> 01:06:15,365
but you know these things are

2313
01:06:15,365 --> 01:06:17,365
gonna

2314
01:06:19,169 --> 01:06:19,536
take years, probably 10 at

2315
01:06:19,536 --> 01:06:21,936
least. Same with the

2316
01:06:23,807 --> 01:06:26,443
the little 45 houses at the

2317
01:06:26,443 --> 01:06:26,710
at the Apple stand there on the

2318
01:06:26,710 --> 01:06:28,710
north side of

2319
01:06:30,647 --> 01:06:30,747
Jericho Turnpike and also you

2320
01:06:30,747 --> 01:06:32,747
know

2321
01:06:33,484 --> 01:06:33,650
this uh steel equities project.

2322
01:06:33,650 --> 01:06:35,650
So go to

2323
01:06:37,387 --> 01:06:40,230
a News, um, 3 and 4, I believe

2324
01:06:40,230 --> 01:06:42,230
have been purchased.

2325
01:06:42,493 --> 01:06:45,493
Oh he is. I believe

2326
01:06:46,362 --> 01:06:46,696
um, and I forget the name of the

2327
01:06:46,696 --> 01:06:48,696
company. I didn't

2328
01:06:50,900 --> 01:06:51,402
do that research. I had some

2329
01:06:51,402 --> 01:06:54,402
other things working on this

2330
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:57,400
afternoon, so. Salsa

2331
01:06:57,674 --> 01:07:00,344
Sal Fero's, uh, um, you know

2332
01:07:00,344 --> 01:07:00,444
prediction has, has been, you

2333
01:07:00,444 --> 01:07:02,444
know

2334
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:04,582
do nothing, and the property

2335
01:07:04,582 --> 01:07:06,582
taxes are gonna

2336
01:07:07,684 --> 01:07:08,151
go up anyway, right? So, so how

2337
01:07:08,151 --> 01:07:11,151
are we gonna better spend

2338
01:07:11,387 --> 01:07:11,521
the money. You're Republicans

2339
01:07:11,521 --> 01:07:13,521
minus.

2340
01:07:14,191 --> 01:07:14,524
One, sorry, but you know, still,

2341
01:07:14,524 --> 01:07:16,924
you got, you know

2342
01:07:18,161 --> 01:07:18,462
fiscal responsibility. It's, you

2343
01:07:18,462 --> 01:07:20,462
know, it's easy

2344
01:07:22,332 --> 01:07:22,599
when it's opm. Other people's

2345
01:07:22,599 --> 01:07:24,599
money. But you

2346
01:07:26,637 --> 01:07:29,173
have to. And true, you know

2347
01:07:29,173 --> 01:07:31,573
maybe it's 10% because when

2348
01:07:31,909 --> 01:07:32,342
you look at the tax bill, right,

2349
01:07:32,342 --> 01:07:35,342
the number one thing is

2350
01:07:35,745 --> 01:07:35,980
the money that we are paying to

2351
01:07:35,980 --> 01:07:37,980
the state of

2352
01:07:40,451 --> 01:07:40,918
New York for. You know, is it a

2353
01:07:40,918 --> 01:07:42,918
quality education compared

2354
01:07:45,389 --> 01:07:45,623
to other, other areas. I don't

2355
01:07:45,623 --> 01:07:47,623
know. I, I.

2356
01:07:49,326 --> 01:07:49,860
I guess uh you know, there were

2357
01:07:49,860 --> 01:07:53,460
some great schools in the New

2358
01:07:53,931 --> 01:07:54,464
York City system, but, uh, you

2359
01:07:54,464 --> 01:07:54,665
know, there's some rough ones

2360
01:07:54,665 --> 01:07:56,665
and tough

2361
01:07:58,402 --> 01:07:58,568
ones also. I was lucky again. My

2362
01:07:58,568 --> 01:08:00,568
parents

2363
01:08:01,472 --> 01:08:04,472
school district 5, you know, a

2364
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:07,408
1.37 acre plot, Dick Hills.

2365
01:08:07,543 --> 01:08:07,845
Good people in the neighborhood

2366
01:08:07,845 --> 01:08:10,245
that I knew were

2367
01:08:11,748 --> 01:08:12,182
uh, engaged with, you know, I'm

2368
01:08:12,182 --> 01:08:14,582
thinking of Joseph Ford

2369
01:08:16,287 --> 01:08:16,687
the 3rd and Mike. Uh, I can't

2370
01:08:16,687 --> 01:08:19,870
remember his last name

2371
01:08:19,723 --> 01:08:20,570
um, but, uh, these are two

2372
01:08:20,570 --> 01:08:22,570
beautiful African

2373
01:08:22,926 --> 01:08:25,326
American people that that

2374
01:08:25,528 --> 01:08:25,629
uh and and and others, I mean,

2375
01:08:25,629 --> 01:08:27,629
hey

2376
01:08:28,231 --> 01:08:28,732
uh, you know, the, the

2377
01:08:28,732 --> 01:08:28,865
predominance in Half Hollow

2378
01:08:28,865 --> 01:08:30,865
Hills

2379
01:08:32,690 --> 01:08:35,690
it's, uh, it's. You know, 80%

2380
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:35,539
if not 90% uh uh uh Caucasian,

2381
01:08:35,539 --> 01:08:37,539
so.

2382
01:08:39,176 --> 01:08:41,176
Oh, all right

2383
01:08:41,845 --> 01:08:41,978
uh, I think we need to think

2384
01:08:41,978 --> 01:08:43,978
about

2385
01:08:45,950 --> 01:08:46,250
some type of traffic light near

2386
01:08:46,250 --> 01:08:48,250
that pizza place

2387
01:08:50,153 --> 01:08:50,687
on Rutland Road and Max's Road,

2388
01:08:50,687 --> 01:08:53,687
uh, making a left around 4:30

2389
01:08:55,910 --> 01:08:55,626
5 o'clock is quite difficult.

2390
01:08:55,626 --> 01:08:59,226
Um, it's only gonna get worse.

2391
01:08:59,330 --> 01:08:59,863
Thank you, Gaily Jasper,

The town and I quoted, the

2422
01:10:13,537 --> 01:10:13,970
many times, and one of my prime.

2423
01:10:13,970 --> 01:10:16,970
Question was how long is

2424
01:10:17,908 --> 01:10:18,442
this pause going to be for? Is

2425
01:10:18,442 --> 01:10:18,676
it gonna be for a minute while

2426
01:10:18,676 --> 01:10:20,676
the next guy

2427
01:10:22,712 --> 01:10:23,113
in line comes up to the podium,

2428
01:10:23,113 --> 01:10:23,346
or is it going to be a

2429
01:10:23,346 --> 01:10:25,346
meaningful.

2430
01:10:27,251 --> 01:10:27,718
Cause so that we could see what

2431
01:10:27,718 --> 01:10:29,718
happened. Doctor Bernardo

2432
01:10:31,822 --> 01:10:32,355
you said that you had a

2433
01:10:32,355 --> 01:10:32,556
community awareness meeting in

2434
01:10:32,556 --> 01:10:34,556
Dix Hills.

2435
01:10:35,758 --> 01:10:36,226
That you would protect the

2436
01:10:36,226 --> 01:10:38,226
school district regardless

2437
01:10:40,731 --> 01:10:40,964
and that's how you would vote

2438
01:10:40,964 --> 01:10:42,964
and Jen, we.

2439
01:10:44,902 --> 01:10:45,435

I heard what I heard, we heard

2444
01:10:54,578 --> 01:10:56,978
what I heard, and

2445
01:11:00,985 --> 01:11:01,485
uh the superintendents heard

2446
01:11:01,485 --> 01:11:01,852
what I heard. Thank you very

2447
01:11:01,852 --> 01:11:04,252

2448
01:11:05,456 --> 01:11:05,989
disappointed. Daniel Carpin

great job protecting us. Welcome

2451
01:11:09,893 --> 01:11:11,893
to

2452
01:11:12,663 --> 01:11:12,930
the Daniel Carppe show direct

2453
01:11:12,930 --> 01:11:14,930
from Town Hall

2454
01:11:16,532 --> 01:11:19,102
your best value for your tax

2455
01:11:19,102 --> 01:11:19,236
dollar paid for and produced by

2456
01:11:19,236 --> 01:11:21,236
a town

2457
01:11:21,939 --> 01:11:22,306
of Heineken. My name is Daniel

2458
01:11:22,306 --> 01:11:24,706
Carpin. I reside at

2459
01:11:25,475 --> 01:11:25,875
Three Harbor Hill Drive,

2460
01:11:25,875 --> 01:11:27,875
Huntington, New York.

2461
01:11:29,946 --> 01:11:30,247
I am speaking today about the

2462
01:11:30,247 --> 01:11:32,247
African American

2463
01:11:34,351 --> 01:11:34,884
Museum that is supposed to be

2464
01:11:34,884 --> 01:11:37,884
planned at Fairmeadow Park at

2465
01:11:38,955 --> 01:11:39,355
the northwest corner of Pulaski

2466
01:11:39,355 --> 01:11:41,755
Road and Park Avenue.

2467
01:11:43,594 --> 01:11:43,893
This is not the proper place for

2468
01:11:43,893 --> 01:11:45,893
this museum. It

2469
01:11:47,997 --> 01:11:48,298
is alienation of parkland, and

2470
01:11:48,298 --> 01:11:50,698
when you in MAY

2471
01:11:52,502 --> 01:11:53,300
uh, had a special town board

2472
01:11:53,300 --> 01:11:56,603
meeting to ask the town, the

2473
01:11:57,307 --> 01:11:57,808
state legislature to alienate

2474
01:11:57,808 --> 01:11:58,740
the park land the town board

2475
01:11:58,740 --> 01:12:00,740
meeting was a

2476
01:12:01,511 --> 01:12:02,460
special one. Hardly anybody knew

2477
01:12:02,460 --> 01:12:06,183
about it. It was done in what

2478
01:12:06,183 --> 01:12:06,383
I call semi-secrecy at the last

2479
01:12:06,383 --> 01:12:08,383
minute and

2480
01:12:10,621 --> 01:12:11,120
the people in the neighborhood

2481
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:11,322
to the west found out. About

2482
01:12:11,322 --> 01:12:13,322
this after

2483
01:12:15,590 --> 01:12:15,392
the fact, and they are angry.

2484
01:12:15,392 --> 01:12:17,792
What you have done

2485
01:12:19,462 --> 01:12:19,964
supervisor, you've clearly

2486
01:12:19,964 --> 01:12:22,364
earned your proclamation of

2487
01:12:23,330 --> 01:12:23,300
the mba award make voters angry.

2488
01:12:23,300 --> 01:12:25,300
They are angry

2489
01:12:26,236 --> 01:12:29,720
They do not want their park used

2490
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:29,206
for the African American Museum.

2491
01:12:29,206 --> 01:12:31,206
There

2492
01:12:32,977 --> 01:12:33,209
are other locations you could

2493
01:12:33,209 --> 01:12:35,209
take the old

2494
01:12:35,980 --> 01:12:36,347
bank building on the east side

2495
01:12:36,347 --> 01:12:38,747
of Park Avenue north

2496
01:12:39,750 --> 01:12:40,316
of Pulaski north of Pulaski

2497
01:12:40,316 --> 01:12:40,618
Road, the buildings are already

2498
01:12:40,618 --> 01:12:42,618
there. Oh yeah.

2499
01:12:44,221 --> 01:12:44,787
News by the property and make it

2500
01:12:44,787 --> 01:12:44,887
into a museum. Uh, the building

2501
01:12:44,887 --> 01:12:46,887
it's

2502
01:12:48,891 --> 01:12:49,193
a museum. The other option is to

2503
01:12:49,193 --> 01:12:51,193
take the armory

2504
01:12:53,330 --> 01:12:53,830
on East 5th Street an existing

2505
01:12:53,830 --> 01:12:53,964
building and put the museum

2506
01:12:53,964 --> 01:12:55,964
there

2507
01:12:57,801 --> 01:12:58,301
It would cost virtually nothing

2508
01:12:58,301 --> 01:13:02,372
for the tax for the for the

2509
01:13:02,372 --> 01:13:02,872
for the town to do that, you

2510
01:13:02,872 --> 01:13:03,139
wouldn't have to build a new

2511
01:13:03,139 --> 01:13:05,139
building. You

2512
01:13:06,810 --> 01:13:07,378
wouldn't have to acquire land.

2513
01:13:07,378 --> 01:13:07,578
You wouldn't have to go through

2514
01:13:07,578 --> 01:13:09,578
expensive

2515
01:13:11,548 --> 01:13:12,115
architects. You could easily

2516
01:13:12,115 --> 01:13:12,383
convert that and put the African

2517
01:13:12,383 --> 01:13:14,383
museum there.

2518
01:13:15,952 --> 01:13:16,520
Within a month or two of just an

2519
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:20,120
architect or a space planner to

2520
01:13:20,356 --> 01:13:20,823
It could be done at very, very

2521
01:13:20,823 --> 01:13:23,223
low cost without breaking

2522
01:13:24,827 --> 01:13:25,328
the tax cap and the other thing

2523
01:13:25,328 --> 01:13:25,529
I'm going to ask you, and I

2524
01:13:25,529 --> 01:13:27,529
don't know

2525
01:13:29,299 --> 01:13:29,766
you don't seem to answer

2526
01:13:29,766 --> 01:13:29,967
questions very much is the

2527
01:13:29,967 --> 01:13:31,967
exhibit at

2528
01:13:33,903 --> 01:13:34,471
the Huntington Railroad Station,

2529
01:13:34,471 --> 01:13:34,570
a very well done exhibit of the

2530
01:13:34,570 --> 01:13:36,570
role

2531
01:13:38,842 --> 01:13:39,376
of African Americans in the town

2532
01:13:39,376 --> 01:13:39,542
of Huntington, is that exhibit

2533
01:13:39,542 --> 01:13:41,542
going to

2534
01:13:43,681 --> 01:13:43,847
be taken down and moved? In the

2535
01:13:43,847 --> 01:13:45,847
museum.

2536
01:13:47,383 --> 01:13:47,717
No answer. I don't, I don't

2537
01:13:47,717 --> 01:13:50,117
know. I think it's

2538
01:13:50,753 --> 01:13:51,322
a great don't know. Well, you

2539
01:13:51,322 --> 01:13:51,521
should know. You, you should be,

2540
01:13:51,521 --> 01:13:53,521
you should

2541
01:13:58,528 --> 01:13:58,895
be ashamed of yourself for not

2542
01:13:58,895 --> 01:14:00,895
knowing. Thank you.

2543
01:14:03,233 --> 01:14:05,233
Ok. Lisa Bloomstein

2544
01:14:05,869 --> 01:14:08,269
followed by Andrew King

2545
01:14:08,572 --> 01:14:08,972
It's also a difficult role to

2546
01:14:08,972 --> 01:14:11,372
follow to follow today

2547
01:14:11,941 --> 01:14:12,142
Seriously, uh, good, good

2548
01:14:12,142 --> 01:14:14,142
afternoon

2549
01:14:14,845 --> 01:14:15,110
supervisor and town board. Um,

2550
01:14:15,110 --> 01:14:17,110
I'm here

2551
01:14:18,949 --> 01:14:19,515
today because I believe the town

2552
01:14:19,515 --> 01:14:23,354
is at a critical point where it

2553
01:14:23,354 --> 01:14:23,887
needs to decide whether the

2554
01:14:23,887 --> 01:14:24,880
promised promises made to this

2555
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:26,880
community

2556
01:14:27,992 --> 01:14:28,558
actually means something. We

2557
01:14:28,558 --> 01:14:28,759
were told there would be a pause

2558
01:14:28,759 --> 01:14:30,759
after the

2559
01:14:32,363 --> 01:14:32,863
1st 400 residential units in the

2560
01:14:32,863 --> 01:14:33,970
Melville Town Center overlay

2561
01:14:33,970 --> 01:14:35,970
district so

2562
01:14:37,330 --> 01:14:37,500
the town could evaluate. The

2563
01:14:37,500 --> 01:14:37,834
real world impacts of this

2564
01:14:37,834 --> 01:14:39,834
development. That

2565
01:14:41,305 --> 01:14:41,872
is not something residents

2566
01:14:41,872 --> 01:14:42,139
imagines. It's in your own town

2567
01:14:42,139 --> 01:14:44,139
code that was

2568
01:14:45,775 --> 01:14:46,310
just read to you, 198341. The

2569
01:14:46,310 --> 01:14:46,610
code says the town board will

2570
01:14:46,610 --> 01:14:48,610
pause acceptance

2571
01:14:50,613 --> 01:14:51,181
of new applications after the

2572
01:14:51,181 --> 01:14:51,415
first applications totaling 400

2573
01:14:51,415 --> 01:14:53,415
residential

2574
01:14:54,952 --> 01:14:55,451
units in order to assess

2575
01:14:55,451 --> 01:14:55,752
cumulative impacts, traffic,

2576
01:14:55,752 --> 01:14:57,752
fire, emergency

2577
01:14:59,256 --> 01:14:59,823
services, and education. And

2578
01:14:59,823 --> 01:15:00,570
here is what makes this meeting

2579
01:15:00,570 --> 01:15:02,570
so troubling

2580
01:15:03,861 --> 01:15:04,427
The town's own website currently

2581
01:15:04,427 --> 01:15:07,427
states that. Applications are on

2582
01:15:08,498 --> 01:15:08,999
hold pursuant to that exact

2583
01:15:08,999 --> 01:15:09,299
provision. So I have a very

2584
01:15:09,299 --> 01:15:11,299
straightforward

2585
01:15:12,803 --> 01:15:13,369
question. What changed? If the

2586
01:15:13,369 --> 01:15:13,570
pause has been lifted, when was

2587
01:15:13,570 --> 01:15:15,570
it lifted

2588
01:15:17,173 --> 01:15:17,741
Who authorized it? What

2589
01:15:17,741 --> 01:15:17,941
resolution or action lifted it,

2590
01:15:17,941 --> 01:15:19,941
and where

2591
01:15:22,790 --> 01:15:22,580
was that decision communicated

2592
01:15:22,580 --> 01:15:22,846
to the public because if the

2593
01:15:22,846 --> 01:15:24,846
pause has not

2594
01:15:26,317 --> 01:15:26,717
been lifted, then why are we

2595
01:15:26,717 --> 01:15:28,717
discussing another 167

2596
01:15:29,687 --> 01:15:30,253
8 apartment project. We were

2597
01:15:30,253 --> 01:15:30,553
told repeatedly that the purpose

2598
01:15:30,553 --> 01:15:32,953
of the pause was

2599
01:15:34,230 --> 01:15:34,425
to determine what the 1st 400

2600
01:15:34,425 --> 01:15:37,425
units would do to the

2601
01:15:37,727 --> 01:15:38,161
community. Nothing has been

2602
01:15:38,161 --> 01:15:41,161
built yet. We don't know

2603
01:15:42,231 --> 01:15:42,733
the actual number of children

2604
01:15:42,733 --> 01:15:43,330
those units will send to the

2605
01:15:43,330 --> 01:15:45,330
Half Hollow Hill

2606
01:15:46,604 --> 01:15:47,103
School District. We don't know

2607
01:15:47,103 --> 01:15:47,403
the traffic impact. We don't

2608
01:15:47,403 --> 01:15:49,403
know the impact

2609
01:15:51,750 --> 01:15:51,608
on emergency services. We don't

2610
01:15:51,608 --> 01:15:51,809
know the cumulative impact on

2611
01:15:51,809 --> 01:15:53,809
our sewage

2612
01:15:55,712 --> 01:15:56,247
and drainage infrastructure. And

2613
01:15:56,247 --> 01:15:56,513
last night we got another very

2614
01:15:56,513 --> 01:15:58,513
real reminder

2615
01:16:00,351 --> 01:16:00,818
of why infrastructure matters

2616
01:16:00,818 --> 01:16:01,850
after heavy rain, both the

2617
01:16:01,850 --> 01:16:03,850
northbound and

2618
01:16:04,621 --> 01:16:05,189
southbound lanes of 110 at the

2619
01:16:05,189 --> 01:16:05,355
Huntington Quadrangle completely

2620
01:16:05,355 --> 01:16:07,355
flooded,

2621
01:16:09,192 --> 01:16:09,727
overwhelming cars on both sides

2622
01:16:09,727 --> 01:16:10,600
trying to get through. That is

2623
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:12,600
not a theoretical

2624
01:16:13,663 --> 01:16:14,980
future impact that is

2625
01:16:14,980 --> 01:16:14,531
infrastructure. Which is

2626
01:16:14,531 --> 01:16:16,931
struggling today. So why

2627
01:16:18,134 --> 01:16:18,702
would we add hundreds more

2628
01:16:18,702 --> 01:16:19,103
residential units before we have

2629
01:16:19,103 --> 01:16:21,103
determined whether the

2630
01:16:22,806 --> 01:16:23,306
existing infrastructure can

2631
01:16:23,306 --> 01:16:23,607
handle what we already have

2632
01:16:23,607 --> 01:16:25,607
here. The town's

2633
01:16:27,176 --> 01:16:27,578
own environmental review

2634
01:16:27,578 --> 01:16:28,112
recognized that future

2635
01:16:28,112 --> 01:16:30,512
development would be dependent

2636
01:16:31,715 --> 01:16:32,149
upon access to public sewers and

2637
01:16:32,149 --> 01:16:34,549
that the 400 unit pause

2638
01:16:36,287 --> 01:16:36,753
was intended to allow the town

2639
01:16:36,753 --> 01:16:36,954
to evaluate commute commu

2640
01:16:36,954 --> 01:16:38,954
cumulative

2641
01:16:40,758 --> 01:16:41,324
impacts, and we still need a

2642
01:16:41,324 --> 01:16:41,658
comprehensive current assessment

2643
01:16:41,658 --> 01:16:43,658
of sewer capacity.

2644
01:16:45,262 --> 01:16:45,795
Capacity. The same is true for

2645
01:16:45,795 --> 01:16:49,395
our schools. If newer and more

2646
01:16:49,833 --> 01:16:50,401
comprehensive demographic

2647
01:16:50,401 --> 01:16:50,633
information indicates that these

2648
01:16:50,633 --> 01:16:52,633
developments

2649
01:16:54,238 --> 01:16:54,771
could generate more students

2650
01:16:54,771 --> 01:16:55,720
than the town's older studies

2651
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:57,720
anticipate, then

2652
01:16:58,742 --> 01:16:59,208
we should use the best available

2653
01:16:59,208 --> 01:16:59,443
information, not outdated

2654
01:16:59,443 --> 01:17:01,443
assumptions.

2655
01:17:03,147 --> 01:17:03,681
The responsible thing to do is

2656
01:17:03,681 --> 01:17:03,981
simple stop, measure, and then

2657
01:17:03,981 --> 01:17:05,981
decide. Let the

2658
01:17:07,817 --> 01:17:08,385
1st 400 units actually be built,

2659
01:17:08,385 --> 01:17:08,551
determine how many children they

2660
01:17:08,551 --> 01:17:10,551
generate

2661
01:17:12,256 --> 01:17:12,822
determine what happens to

2662
01:17:12,822 --> 01:17:13,560
traffic, determine what. Happens

2663
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:15,560
to our sewer

2664
01:17:16,727 --> 01:17:17,260
system, drainage, roads, police,

2665
01:17:17,260 --> 01:17:17,528
fire, emergency services, then

2666
01:17:17,528 --> 01:17:19,528
and only then

2667
01:17:21,165 --> 01:17:21,731
decide whether the community can

2668
01:17:21,731 --> 01:17:24,131
responsibly absorb another wave

2669
01:17:25,835 --> 01:17:26,269
of apartments. I'm not asking

2670
01:17:26,269 --> 01:17:26,437
this board to deny these

2671
01:17:26,437 --> 01:17:28,437
projects

2672
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:30,808
I'm asking you to follow your

2673
01:17:30,808 --> 01:17:31,700
own law and keep your words the

2674
01:17:31,700 --> 01:17:33,700
residents

2675
01:17:34,877 --> 01:17:35,412
of Huntington. Do not schedule

2676
01:17:35,412 --> 01:17:35,578
another public hearing simply

2677
01:17:35,578 --> 01:17:37,578
because

2678
01:17:39,416 --> 01:17:39,950
an application is waiting. I'll

2679
01:17:39,950 --> 01:17:44,150
Put in the rest of my comments

2680
01:17:46,190 --> 01:17:46,356
Andrew King. Followed by Dom

2681
01:17:46,356 --> 01:17:48,356
Feeney.

2682
01:17:50,193 --> 01:17:52,193
Andrew King. Ok

2683
01:17:53,630 --> 01:17:53,196
If MR. King returns, let me

2684
01:17:53,196 --> 01:17:55,196
know.

2685
01:17:55,966 --> 01:17:56,233
Dom Feeney, followed by Johanna

2686
01:17:56,233 --> 01:17:58,233
Suchow. Scar.

2687
01:17:59,436 --> 01:18:02,205
I thought I saw him

2688
01:18:02,205 --> 01:18:02,472
briefly, but all right, uh,

2689
01:18:02,472 --> 01:18:04,472
Joanna, if if

2690
01:18:08,779 --> 01:18:11,179
Dom let me know.

2691
01:18:11,447 --> 01:18:13,847
Good afternoon everyone. Yeah.

2692
01:18:14,117 --> 01:18:14,318
I did not come prepared to talk

2693
01:18:14,318 --> 01:18:16,318
about the

2694
01:18:17,553 --> 01:18:20,560
mtcod or even the tax cap.

2695
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:20,591
Because I noticed it was pulled

2696
01:18:20,591 --> 01:18:24,193
from the agenda, but as far as

2697
01:18:24,193 --> 01:18:24,762
the mtcod I think you know, I

2698
01:18:24,762 --> 01:18:27,762
generally supported it, much to

2699
01:18:28,933 --> 01:18:29,499
the chagrin of many people in my

2700
01:18:29,499 --> 01:18:29,667
community. However, I was always

2701
01:18:29,667 --> 01:18:31,667
emphatic

2702
01:18:33,470 --> 01:18:34,380
about we should do a cumulative

2703
01:18:34,380 --> 01:18:34,237
sequel so that we would have an

2704
01:18:34,237 --> 01:18:36,237
idea even

2705
01:18:37,875 --> 01:18:38,441
at this 0.400 generates this

2706
01:18:38,441 --> 01:18:38,676
much, we could project 168, but

2707
01:18:38,676 --> 01:18:40,676
we didn't do

2708
01:18:42,379 --> 01:18:42,912
that, so we're not there. Um, as

2709
01:18:42,912 --> 01:18:43,313
far as the tax cap, I'd like,

2710
01:18:43,313 --> 01:18:45,313
uh, the transparency.

2711
01:18:47,500 --> 01:18:47,585
It would be great if we can do,

2712
01:18:47,585 --> 01:18:47,784
we would like to review a line

2713
01:18:47,784 --> 01:18:49,784
by line on

2714
01:18:51,154 --> 01:18:51,722
the budget, and that would

2715
01:18:51,722 --> 01:18:51,955
include, I'm sorry, I know it's

2716
01:18:51,955 --> 01:18:53,955
a sore issue

2717
01:18:56,590 --> 01:18:56,594
for you guys, but the 6-year

2718
01:18:56,594 --> 01:18:56,826
lifetime medical benefits. I'd

2719
01:18:56,826 --> 01:18:58,826
like to know

2720
01:19:00,264 --> 01:19:00,830
a projection of what that will

2721
01:19:00,830 --> 01:19:00,998
cost us as, you know, as a town

2722
01:19:00,998 --> 01:19:02,998
into the

2723
01:19:04,735 --> 01:19:05,301
future, because it, it's one of

2724
01:19:05,301 --> 01:19:05,502
the line items. You, you've got

2725
01:19:05,502 --> 01:19:07,502
many. Um,

2726
01:19:09,607 --> 01:19:10,107
but my main reason for stepping

2727
01:19:10,107 --> 01:19:10,374
up today was to ask, I don't

2728
01:19:10,374 --> 01:19:12,374
know if Andrew

2729
01:19:13,877 --> 01:19:14,445
Ray is the person that knows the

2730
01:19:14,445 --> 01:19:14,677
answer to this question. When is

2731
01:19:14,677 --> 01:19:16,677
the public,

2732
01:19:18,215 --> 01:19:18,781
you know, able to get online to

2733
01:19:18,781 --> 01:19:19,160
look at the text of preliminary

2734
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:21,160
resolutions.

2735
01:19:23,530 --> 01:19:23,587
It, the agenda gets posted, I

2736
01:19:23,587 --> 01:19:23,821
think on a Friday. And this is

2737
01:19:23,821 --> 01:19:25,821
now the 2nd

2738
01:19:27,224 --> 01:19:27,790
or whatever meeting that I am

2739
01:19:27,790 --> 01:19:27,992
looking to see what the text is

2740
01:19:27,992 --> 01:19:29,992
other than

2741
01:19:31,928 --> 01:19:32,496
me getting in my car and driving

2742
01:19:32,496 --> 01:19:32,662
up here and nobody should really

2743
01:19:32,662 --> 01:19:34,662
have to.

2744
01:19:36,533 --> 01:19:37,670
Why can't, when should that be

2745
01:19:37,670 --> 01:19:37,334
posted because it's been being

2746
01:19:37,334 --> 01:19:39,334
posted Monday,

2747
01:19:41,500 --> 01:19:41,572
basically in the afternoon that

2748
01:19:41,572 --> 01:19:41,738
we can go online and look at the

2749
01:19:41,738 --> 01:19:43,738
text of

2750
01:19:45,509 --> 01:19:46,100
resolutions. Is there a problem

2751
01:19:46,100 --> 01:19:46,243
with putting it up sooner. I

2752
01:19:46,243 --> 01:19:48,243
know in the

2753
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:50,647
past, it's been a policy issue

2754
01:19:50,647 --> 01:19:50,848
with the board as to, you know,

2755
01:19:50,848 --> 01:19:52,848
setting a

2756
01:19:54,218 --> 01:19:54,784
goal for public disclosure. I

2757
01:19:54,784 --> 01:19:54,985
just was wondering, What is the

2758
01:19:54,985 --> 01:19:56,985
policy if

2759
01:19:58,855 --> 01:19:59,390
there is one? Yes, please,

2760
01:19:59,390 --> 01:19:59,689
because 24 hours, but we don't

2761
01:19:59,689 --> 01:20:02,890
post at the town

2762
01:20:03,227 --> 01:20:03,726
attorney asks it to post it. So

2763
01:20:03,726 --> 01:20:03,961
the town clerk isn't really

2764
01:20:03,961 --> 01:20:05,961
necessarily

2765
01:20:07,864 --> 01:20:08,432
involved in the posting is what

2766
01:20:08,432 --> 01:20:08,699
you're saying, ok, and 24 hours

2767
01:20:08,699 --> 01:20:10,699
is the policy

2768
01:20:12,302 --> 01:20:12,836
of this board. You're gonna sit

2769
01:20:12,836 --> 01:20:13,360
there and say that it's ok for

2770
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:15,360
us to get

2771
01:20:16,906 --> 01:20:17,441
a look at things 24 hours. The

2772
01:20:17,441 --> 01:20:17,640
text of resolutions. I, I just

2773
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:19,640
think it,

2774
01:20:21,445 --> 01:20:21,979
I think you could do a little

2775
01:20:21,979 --> 01:20:22,212
better in that regard because,

2776
01:20:22,212 --> 01:20:24,212
well, I know

2777
01:20:25,983 --> 01:20:26,483
it MAY be state law, it doesn't

2778
01:20:26,483 --> 01:20:26,717
mean you have to, you can't

2779
01:20:26,717 --> 01:20:28,717
exceed that.

2780
01:20:30,870 --> 01:20:30,554
You can't provide more

2781
01:20:30,554 --> 01:20:31,200
information to the public

2782
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:34,200
sooner. I just think it's

2783
01:20:34,724 --> 01:20:35,259
hard for us. We see the

2784
01:20:35,259 --> 01:20:35,625
headings, we don't know what's

2785
01:20:35,625 --> 01:20:38,625
in the body of. The

2786
01:20:39,530 --> 01:20:40,290
resolution. And if you have the

2787
01:20:40,290 --> 01:20:40,230
headings, I worked here 11.5

2788
01:20:40,230 --> 01:20:42,230
years. You

2789
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:44,368
have the resolutions. I don't

2790
01:20:44,368 --> 01:20:44,567
know why you can't post them, so

2791
01:20:44,567 --> 01:20:46,567
I'll chime

2792
01:20:48,304 --> 01:20:48,839
in on that. I, I, several years

2793
01:20:48,839 --> 01:20:49,500
ago I tried to get a 10 day. I

2794
01:20:49,500 --> 01:20:51,500
know and

2795
01:20:52,809 --> 01:20:53,277
I got a lot of pushback from

2796
01:20:53,277 --> 01:20:53,644
everybody, you know, well,

2797
01:20:53,644 --> 01:20:55,644
everybody's up there

2798
01:20:57,313 --> 01:20:57,815
now. I'd love to know if any of

2799
01:20:57,815 --> 01:20:58,148
the people up there now will

2800
01:20:58,148 --> 01:21:00,148
push back because

2801
01:21:01,784 --> 01:21:02,353
I don't we, we could experiment

2802
01:21:02,353 --> 01:21:02,552
with that, the one thing I will

2803
01:21:02,552 --> 01:21:04,552
tell you,

2804
01:21:06,155 --> 01:21:06,724
you'll see the, the, the only,

2805
01:21:06,724 --> 01:21:06,990
the only credible argument I've

2806
01:21:06,990 --> 01:21:08,990
heard against

2807
01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:11,295
it, you're gonna see a lot of

2808
01:21:11,295 --> 01:21:11,494
late starters because anything

2809
01:21:11,494 --> 01:21:13,494
that comes

2810
01:21:15,699 --> 01:21:16,266
in after we, I know I see them

2811
01:21:16,266 --> 01:21:16,433
anyway. It's ministerial. I have

2812
01:21:16,433 --> 01:21:18,433
no, uh,

2813
01:21:19,970 --> 01:21:20,537
you know. I, I have no problem,

2814
01:21:20,537 --> 01:21:20,738
you know, you know, getting them

2815
01:21:20,738 --> 01:21:22,738
out there.

2816
01:21:24,641 --> 01:21:25,109
Ok, I'll look forward to seeing

2817
01:21:25,109 --> 01:21:25,341
them next time we're in on

2818
01:21:25,341 --> 01:21:27,341
Friday would

2819
01:21:28,745 --> 01:21:29,112
You, you MAY see a chaotic, a

2820
01:21:29,112 --> 01:21:31,112
lot of housekeeping

2821
01:21:32,216 --> 01:21:32,715
done after that, and I'm sure

2822
01:21:32,715 --> 01:21:32,950
the public would understand.

2823
01:21:32,950 --> 01:21:34,950
That, but it

2824
01:21:38,388 --> 01:21:38,788

3198
01:32:43,987 --> 01:32:46,387
wanna say that um.

3199
01:32:46,790 --> 01:32:47,230
You know this vote of mine, it's

3200
01:32:47,230 --> 01:32:49,230
not because

3201
01:32:50,894 --> 01:32:51,428
I don't think that the project

3202
01:32:51,428 --> 01:32:51,729
potentially is good, just like

3203
01:32:51,729 --> 01:32:54,129
Gail had said, I

3204
01:32:55,598 --> 01:32:56,166
think before, but I, I believe

3205
01:32:56,166 --> 01:33:00,103
as you do that the pause was not

3206
01:33:00,103 --> 01:33:00,638
well defined and I'm not really

3207
01:33:00,638 --> 01:33:04,238
clear on the parameters of it

3208
01:33:04,441 --> 01:33:05,800
and therefore that's reflected

3209
01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:05,175
in my vote today, but what I do

3210
01:33:05,175 --> 01:33:07,175
want to

3211
01:33:09,112 --> 01:33:09,647
say, and I wanna, you know,

3212
01:33:09,647 --> 01:33:09,913
thank my colleague, um, all of

3213
01:33:09,913 --> 01:33:11,913
my colleagues

3214
01:33:13,983 --> 01:33:14,485
but particularly Doctor Bernardo

3215
01:33:14,485 --> 01:33:14,852
is we have formed this water

3216
01:33:14,852 --> 01:33:16,852
advisory committee.

3217
01:33:18,554 --> 01:33:18,989
And uh and it's not just fluff

3218
01:33:18,989 --> 01:33:22,589
we are going to have the

3219
01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:23,227
ability to come up with the

3220
01:33:23,227 --> 01:33:23,594
parameters of what we want

3221
01:33:23,594 --> 01:33:25,994
studied in terms of

3222
01:33:27,163 --> 01:33:27,564
water quality and quantity and

3223
01:33:27,564 --> 01:33:30,564
how it is affecting or

3224
01:33:31,567 --> 01:33:32,136
affected by development in the

3225
01:33:32,136 --> 01:33:32,368
Melville area. It's going to be

3226
01:33:32,368 --> 01:33:34,368
particularly

3227
01:33:35,973 --> 01:33:36,540
important given that when you

3228
01:33:36,540 --> 01:33:36,839
know the project by nyu Langone

3229
01:33:36,839 --> 01:33:39,239
if that comes to

3230
01:33:40,577 --> 01:33:41,111
fruition, we'll also be, you

3231
01:33:41,111 --> 01:33:41,377
know, utilizing quite a bit of

3232
01:33:41,377 --> 01:33:43,377
water and but

3233
01:33:45,149 --> 01:33:45,716
what I will say is that not only

3234
01:33:45,716 --> 01:33:45,848
have we come up I. I think with

3235
01:33:45,848 --> 01:33:47,848
a very

3236
01:33:49,453 --> 01:33:49,953
good advisory committee that's

3237
01:33:49,953 --> 01:33:50,253
going to put together these

3238
01:33:50,253 --> 01:33:52,253
parameters, but

3239
01:33:54,224 --> 01:33:54,791
we've actually found the funding

3240
01:33:54,791 --> 01:33:54,959
for it, so it's not going to be

3241
01:33:54,959 --> 01:33:56,959
costing

3242
01:33:58,561 --> 01:33:59,129
the town anything. We have some

3243
01:33:59,129 --> 01:33:59,262
funding to do it outside of town

3244
01:33:59,262 --> 01:34:01,262
budget

3245
01:34:03,133 --> 01:34:03,700
and therefore we are moving

3246
01:34:03,700 --> 01:34:03,934
forward full speed ahead, and i

3247
01:34:03,934 --> 01:34:05,934
just wanted

3248
01:34:07,671 --> 01:34:08,237
you to know for those who might

3249
01:34:08,237 --> 01:34:08,405
have thought that that was just

3250
01:34:08,405 --> 01:34:10,405
a lot of

3251
01:34:11,875 --> 01:34:12,408
smoke. It's not. We we're

3252
01:34:12,408 --> 01:34:12,775
actually going ahead with this

3253
01:34:12,775 --> 01:34:14,775
advisory committee.

3254
01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:16,981
We just wanted to do it

3255
01:34:16,981 --> 01:34:17,381
thoughtfully and carefully.

3256
01:34:17,381 --> 01:34:19,781
Thank you. Thank you,

3257
01:34:21,850 --> 01:34:21,585
and you have resolution 449 now.

3258
01:34:21,585 --> 01:34:21,819
That is correct. Keep, keep

3259
01:34:21,819 --> 01:34:23,819
reading and

3260
01:34:25,723 --> 01:34:26,222
here I was done talking. Ok, so

3261
01:34:26,222 --> 01:34:26,457
I offer resolution 2026-449,

3262
01:34:26,457 --> 01:34:28,457
authorizing

3263
01:34:29,993 --> 01:34:30,561

as published on consent,

3285
01:35:06,397 --> 01:35:08,397
excluding those resolutions

3286
01:35:10,601 --> 01:35:11,167
we had already voted on 2nd,

3287
01:35:11,167 --> 01:35:11,235
seconded by the supervisor. All

3288
01:35:11,235 --> 01:35:13,235

01:35:22,446 --> 01:35:26,460
the business of the town board

3295
01:35:26,382 --> 01:35:26,951

01:35:26,951 --> 01:35:27,510

closing comments? Thank you. I

3324
01:36:14,431 --> 01:36:16,431
would have said

3325
01:36:17,968 --> 01:36:18,534
it earlier in the meeting. I

3326
01:36:18,534 --> 01:36:18,868
just want to give a warm welcome

3327
01:36:18,868 --> 01:36:20,868
to the scoutmaster

3328
01:36:22,740 --> 01:36:23,273
here and all the young scouts

3329
01:36:23,273 --> 01:36:23,574
that I believe are here today,

3330
01:36:23,574 --> 01:36:25,974
um, in an effort

3331
01:36:27,410 --> 01:36:27,978
to earn a merit badge. So

3332
01:36:27,978 --> 01:36:31,578
welcome. Nice to have you here.

3333
01:36:31,649 --> 01:36:32,182
Come on, yep, and I want to

01:36:32,182 --> 01:36:32,449
thank you also for allowing me

01:36:32,449 --> 01:36:34,449
to come speak

3336
01:36:36,352 --> 01:36:36,786
to your scouts last week it was

3337
01:36:36,786 --> 01:36:37,540
really fun and I think I

3338
01:36:37,540 --> 01:36:39,540
recognized one

3339
01:36:40,758 --> 01:36:41,224
of them here as well. So, you

3340
01:36:41,224 --> 01:36:41,525
know, thanks, and I'm glad

3341
01:36:41,525 --> 01:36:43,525

3342
01:36:45,162 --> 01:36:45,596

in removing the tax cap agenda

3348
01:36:54,837 --> 01:36:55,390
from the item today. I just want

01:36:55,390 --> 01:36:57,390

what's happening in our

community and how and, and how

3354
01:37:03,948 --> 01:37:06,348
it affects us and

3355
01:37:07,618 --> 01:37:08,184

3356
01:37:08,184 --> 01:37:08,452
to cut. And so we are committed

3357
01:37:08,452 --> 01:37:10,452
to doing that

3358
01:37:11,988 --> 01:37:12,523
We have all been very committed

3359
01:37:12,523 --> 01:37:16,627
to making sure that we do what

3360
01:37:16,627 --> 01:37:17,193

01:37:17,193 --> 01:37:17,294
our town, so please keep that in

3362
01:37:17,294 --> 01:37:19,294

01:37:30,841 --> 01:37:33,241

01:37:35,279 --> 01:37:35,511
