SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE, MAKE SURE THAT WAS MENTIONED THAT, UM, THERE IS A BOOK BAG GIVEAWAY, UM, FOR, UH, AT ELM STREET, AT THE GREENBURG FARMER'S MARKET, STARTING AT 10:00 AM TO 2:00 PM 2:00 PM THANK, THANK YOU COUNCILWOMAN, JACK, UH, ALL OF US.
ALSO, ALSO JUST WANTED TO, JUST ALSO WANT TO, I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON.
I JUST WANT TO ALSO REMIND EVERYONE THAT THE FAIRVIEW MANHATTAN PARK IS ALSO GIVING AWAY A BACK TO SCHOOL RAFFLE.
AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, MY PHONE WON'T OPEN UP SO I CAN SEE THE EXACT DATE.
AND THAT'S GOING TO BE ON, UH, IT SAYS FIVE TO THREE TO FIVE, BUT I CAN'T SEE A DATE.
YOU DON'T SEE A DATE ON HERE? I DON'T SEE A DATE ON HERE.
SO FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5TH, THE MANHATTAN PARK, UM, COMPLEX IS GOING TO BE GIVEN A BACK TO SCHOOL RAFFLE.
THEY'RE FROM CADE'S AGES FROM SIX TO 18.
UM, THERE'S A HUNDRED DOLLARS GIFT CARDS TO 20 LUCKY RAFFLE WINNERS.
AND, UM, THEY WILL BE GIVING ALSO, UH, UH, SCHOOL SUPPLIES AWAY AS WELL.
SO THAT IS SEPTEMBER 5TH FROM THREE TO FIVE.
AND WHERE AT THE MANHATTAN PARK? 100 MANHATTAN AVENUE.
AND THEN, ALRIGHT, I JUST WANTED TO MENTION ALSO, UH, UM, RICH FUN AND I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A DISCUSSION TODAY WITH LEANNE RE AND IF YOU REMEMBER, HE WAS A YOUNG MAN, I THINK HE WAS GRADUATING FROM THE BAILEY SCHOOL AND HE MM-HMM
SPOKE AT THE TOWN BOARD MEETING.
UM, AND, UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAD REALLY GOOD, UH, YOU KNOW, DISCUSSION.
UM, IN ADDITION TO, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE WORK THAT IS BEING PLANNED AT RILEY'S POND, UH, THEY'RE ALSO LONG RANGE, UH, LOOKING AT DREDGING THE POND AND, UM, THEN RESTORING ICE SKATING AT, AT THE POND, UM, YOU KNOW, AFTER DREDGING IS DONE.
SO, UM, UH, UH, LEE ANN, UM, HE'S GOING TO WORK WITH OTHER STUDENTS, YOU KNOW, RECENT GRADUATES AND CURRENT STUDENTS AT BAILEY.
AND WE'RE GONNA TRY, UM, GETTING LIKE A LITTLE WORKING GROUP THAT COULD, UM, PUSH TO MAKE THE POND, UM, YOU KNOW, MORE USABLE AND, UM, ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND A GOOD ASSET FOR CHILDREN TO ENJOY, YOU KNOW, IF WE COULD GET ICE SKATING THERE.
UM, WELL, OF COURSE, IF THE ENVIRONMENT ALLOWS US AND IT GETS COLD ENOUGH IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE SAFE TO SKATE ON OH YEAH.
WELL, THAT CAN BE SWIMMING, SPEAKING THE ENVIRONMENT.
IT'S GONNA BE SWIMMING OR ICE SKIDDING.
NO, BUT I'M SAYING IT USED TO, THEY USED TO HAVE, THERE WERE FISH THERE TURTLES.
IT WAS, YOU KNOW, IT USED TO BE A REAL ASSET TO THE COMMUNITY.
AND IF WE DREDGE IT, WHICH IS GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, VERY EXPENSIVE, UM, IT BASICALLY, UM, YOU KNOW, COULD HELP ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE FLOODING PROBLEMS, UH, THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, IN THE FULTON PARK, IN AREA, IN, YOU KNOW, THE MANHATTAN BROOK, YOU KNOW, AREA.
THE OTHER, UH, THING THAT I WAS SORT OF THINKING IS THAT, UM, IF WE WORK ON, UM, ENHANCING RILEY'S POND AND USING IT FOR RECREATION PURPOSES, MAYBE WE COULD APPLY FOR CDBG GRANTS BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD BENEFIT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
SO, YOU KNOW, I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT.
HAS THE WALL BEEN FIXED HERE? NO, NO.
IT, IT IS NOT, HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AT THIS POINT.
ALSO, UM, WE, THE TOWN WILL BE RENTING 200 TERRYTOWN STARTING NEXT MONDAY.
SO THERE WILL BE SOME ADDITIONAL, ADDITIONAL PARKING NEXT TO THE COURTHOUSE AND THE POLICE STATION.
BUT PLEASE LOOK FOR SIGNS, BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE IF THAT WILL BE POLICE PARKING OR USER PARKING.
AND I'M SURE IT'LL HAVE PEOPLE FLAGGING YOU, BUT WE WILL HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING AT THE TIME BECAUSE WE DO NEED TO CORRECT THAT WALL, UM, IN A TIMELY MANNER.
THE CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE APPROACHING THAT POND FROM THE POLICE STATION SIDE.
'CAUSE THAT'D BE VERY DANGEROUS.
SO PAUL, JUST BEFORE THE MEETING STARTED, YOU HANDED US THE TIMELINE FOR THE TAX TO ROAD HERE, UM, SIDEWALK.
AND THANK AND THANK YOU FOR COMPELLING, UM, ALL THE RESPONSES THAT YOU HAVE HERE.
UM, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WHEN WE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE RESIDENTS, UM, WE MENTIONED THAT THERE WERE LETTERS THAT WERE SENT OUT TO, TO RE TO RESIDENTS REGARDING THE TAXI, THE ROAD SIDEWALK.
MOST RESIDENTS MENTIONED THAT THEY DID NOT GET THO
[00:05:01]
DID THEY NOT RECEIVE, THEY DID NOT RECEIVE THE LETTER.SO I WAS JUST HOPING IF YOU COULD JUST PROVIDE US WITH THE ADDRESSES SO WE COULD JUST SHOW THEM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE, THIS IS THE ADDRESS THAT THE LETTER WAS SENT TO AND A COPY OF THE LETTER THAT WAS SENT.
I SEE THE LETTER THAT YOU HAVE FOR, I THINK YOU HAVE ONE LETTER HERE THAT, THAT SAYS, UM, YOU HAVE ONE THAT'S NOVEMBER 16TH, UM, SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT TAX ROAD, AND THAT WAS NOVEMBER 16TH, 2020.
SO IF WE CAN, I'M NOT SURE IF YOU CAN, IF YOU HAVE THE, THE ADDRESSES THAT WENT TO, WENT TO THE RESIDENCE ON DURING THAT TIME.
UM, WELL, ONE OF THE WAYS WE COULD DO IT IS I COULD ASK, UM, FOR EXAMPLE, I SEE A LETTER THAT WAS SENT, UH, TO EVERYBODY, EAST STERLING ON AUGUST 4TH, 2020.
AND I COULD ASK, UM, UH, OUR MIS DEPARTMENT, UM, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE HAD, WE ASKED THE IS DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE US WITH LABELS, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE DO THE MAILS, LABELS, OKAY.
SO ANY, IF IT SAYS, DEAR NEIGHBOR, LIKE AUGUST 20TH, 2020, AND I THINK THERE WAS, THERE'S A, A FEW THAT I FOUND, AND YEAH, I SAW THE, I SAW THE ONE THAT YOU HAVE AUGUST, 2020, AND THEN I SAW THE LETTER THAT YOU SENT TO THE, TO RESIDENTS ON, ON NOVEMBER 16TH.
AND THEN THERE'S A, BUT IT WAS A NEWS FLASH, I THINK IT WAS.
OH, THEN YOU HAVE NOVEMBER 23RD.
WELL, THAT WAS NOVEMBER 23RD, I THINK YOU PUT SOMETHING IN A NEWSPAPER.
OH, DID THERE? SO IF, IF, IF, IF I DON'T, I DON'T WANNA PROLONG, I DON'T WANNA TAKE AWAY FROM ANYONE ELSE'S TIME, BUT IF WE COULD JUST HAVE THE ADDRESSES SO WE CAN JUST SHOW THE RESIDENCE, UM, WHEN THE LETTER WOULD, WHEN THE LETTER WAS SENT OUT.
AND WHAT ADDRESS, SO THEN, SO THEN WE CAN BE CO NOT THE LETTER ITSELF, BUT WE NEED TO KNOW THE ADDRESSES BECAUSE PEOPLE STATED THAT THEY DIDN'T USE IT.
AND THEN THEY DIDN'T RECEIVE IT, SO THAT'S IT.
AND THEN THERE'S WHEN APRIL, 2024.
AND THEN IT'S SORT OF INTERESTING, ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO SAID THAT HE NEVER WAS NOTIFIED, UH, WE FOUND, UM, AN EMAIL, UM, LAST YEAR, I, I POST ALL THIS INFORMATION ABOUT TEXTER ROAD ON, UM, YOU KNOW, ON THE FACEBOOK, YOU KNOW, THE EAST IRVINGTON FACEBOOK PAGE.
SO, UH, THERE'S A, SOMEBODY SAID THAT HE NEVER WAS NOTIFIED LAST YEAR.
HE, UH, IN 2024, HE BASICALLY ANSWERED A FACEBOOK POST THAT I SAID SAYING HE DOESN'T WANT THE SIDEWALK.
BUT YOU KNOW, THIS YEAR HE SAID HE NEVER WAS NOTIFIED.
BUT LAST YEAR, UM, HE WAS PACKET YOU, I, I SENT THAT TO EVERY, WELL HAVE IT IS HIS RESPONSE IN THE PACKET IS WHAT THE QUESTION, I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S, IF, UH, KRISTA FINISHED IT, BUT I'LL HAVE THAT FOR YOU TOMORROW.
WHO WAS THAT? DO YOU REMEMBER THE PERSON SAYING, WHO WAS IT? MR. COHEN.
YEAH, BECAUSE HE BASICALLY SAID THAT THIS WAS IN 2024.
UM, HE BASICALLY ANSWERED A FACEBOOK POST, YOU KNOW, IT WAS A COMMENT, SAID, UH, WE'RE GONNA SUE YOU IF YOU DO IT.
BUT HE NEVER TOLD THE TOWN, HE NEVER OPPOSED IT BEFORE THE, THE TOWN BOARD.
UM, HE NEVER, I MEAN, HE NEVER WENT TO A TOWN BOARD MEETING.
HE NEVER SENT EMAILS TO THE BOARD.
HE NEVER DID ANYTHING BUT CRITICIZED US, US AT A, YOU KNOW, ON FACEBOOK.
WELL WE JUST, I JUST, JUST AS, LIKE I MENTIONED, THE RESIDENTS WHO CAME OUT, YOU KNOW, ONE LADY, ONE YOUNG LADY HAD A, UM, A LETTER AND EVERYONE SAID IT DIDN'T RECEIVE ONE.
SO WE JUST WANNA JUST, WE JUST WANNA SHOW THAT, RIGHT PAUL, WE JUST WANNA SHOW THAT YES, THIS IS THE LETTER THAT WAS SENT OUT.
UM, ACTUALLY YOU GOT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT LETTERS.
YOU KNOW, IF THEY EXIST THEN WE CAN SEND THEM OUT AND MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THEM.
I'M APPRECIATES PERFECTLY, RIGHT.
NO, I SAID I THINK YOU'RE 1000% RIGHT.
UM, OKAY, WHICH ONE, WHICH LETTER? UH, SO IT'S EMAIL FROM PAUL.
DOES IT HAVE NOVEMBER 15? DOES IT HAVE THE ADDRESSES? 2022? YEP.
IT'S AN EMAIL TO ANTHONY FABRIZIO ASKING FOR, UH, MAILING LABELS.
THE KEY IS GONNA BE TO GET THAT ATTACHMENT OF MAILING LABELS TO SEE HOW EXTENSIVE IT IS, BUT DOES IDENTIFY TAXI ROAD, UH, MOUNTAIN ROAD AND ALL THE STREETS IN BETWEEN.
AND THAT WOULD'VE BEEN A 2022 LETTER INVITING ALL TO A SIDEWALK.
SO THAT, THAT ATTACHMENT I THINK MIGHT BE GOOD INFORMATION THAT HAS EXACT ADDRESSES.
BUT THEN THERE WERE, THEN WE HAD SENIORS DID, WE HAD, I, I THINK THAT WE HAD SENIORS WHO MENTIONED ONE SENIOR HAD BROUGHT A LETTER, A PHYSICAL LETTER.
UM, AND THERE WERE OTHER SENIORS WHO MENTIONED, AND THEY DON'T REALLY UTILIZE THE EMAIL THAT THEY LOOK FOR THE HARD COPY.
SO I JUST, I JUST WANT, AGAIN, I DON'T WANT ANYONE THINKING THAT THIS FINGERS BEING POINTED COULD, THAT THEY'RE NOT VOTERS.
JUST PAUL ONLY MAILS THE VOTERS.
OH NO, I ONLY MAIL I WHATEVER LIST THE, UH, THE ANTHONY REIO.
THIS IS JUST STRAIGHT OFF THE ASSESSMENT RULES.
AT LEAST THIS EMAIL, I'M, WELL, WELL, PAUL'S GONNA PROVIDE US THE DATA SO IT DOESN'T, SO WE'RE ALL SET.
WELL, IT SHOULD BE EASY BECAUSE BASICALLY, UH, YEAH, THERE'S, IF THERE WERE LIKE THREE OR FOUR LETTERS, SO YOU HAVE, HAVE, IF YOU HAVE THE MAILING LABELS, THAT WILL BE GOOD, GARRETT, BECAUSE WE NEED THE MAIL IN, BECAUSE YOU WERE HERE, WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT RIGHT.
WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE, WE ANSWER THE QUESTION.
[00:10:01]
HIM, SEE IF THERE WAS, WHEN I MADE THE REQUEST FOR A LABOR, I THINK WE'RE OKAY.SO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO UNTIL SHE'S GOOD.
NOW LET ME, OKAY, SO THAT'S FINE.
SO NOW, UH, YES, WE'RE GOING HAVING A MOTION FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION.
I MAKE A MOTION FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR THE PURPOSES OF DISCUSSING PERSONNEL MATTERS INVOLVING SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS, AND TO SEEK LEGAL ADVICE ON VARIOUS MATTERS.
