TOWN OF ORANGETOWN

REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2014

This Town Board Meeting was opened at 7:30 p.m.  Supervisor Stewart presided and the Town Clerk Madigan called the Roll.  Present were:

 

Councilman Thomas Diviny

Councilman Denis Troy

Councilman Thomas Morr

Councilman Paul Valentine

 

Also present:               Charlotte Madigan, Town Clerk

Teresa Kenny, Deputy Town Attorney

Jeff Bencik, Finance Director

James Dean, Superintendent of Highways

Joseph Moran, Commissioner of DEME

John Giardiello, Director of OBZPAE

Aric Gorton, Superintendent of Parks and Recreation

Donna Morrison, Human Resource Coordinator

 

Maureen Alaimo led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

 

The Town Board presented a Proclamation, to Maureen Alaimo, Franklin Avenue School Principal, and Marco Pochintesta, Superintendent of Schools, for being a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, an exceptional high preforming school.

 

Summary of Public Comments:

Mike Mandel, Pearl River, agrees that Pension contributions should not be amortized.  He suggested the Town Board to pass a resolution asking our State Representatives to introduce Bills to change the Taylor Laws that effect collective bargaining.

Esta Baitler, Sparkill, thinks it is unfair that we have to wait for the sidewalks along Route 340.  Eileen Larkin, Palisades, spoke about the budget and the outside attorney’s contract for RPC.  If nothing has been done, their contract should not be renewed.  This year something needs to be done with the development of RPC.  She is concerned about Rockland County Sewer doing anything for the Town’s benefit.

James Dean, Superintendent of Highways, is concerned about the budget cut for asphalt, stone, potholes and maintenance of the roads (from $580,000 to $200,000).  This cut will have an enormous negative impact on our roads and safety maintenance of them.

Karen Reina, Pearl River, wants to know the rational for waiving building permit fees.

Janet Weber of  Orangetown; Ann Brennan, Lisa Honig-Andrea, and Alyssa Maloney of Blauvelt;   Mary Kane, Director of the Orangeburg Library; Laurie Wohl, Eileen & John Buckley, Elaine & Sam Simon of Orangeburg;  James Flynn and Fran Renstein of Tappan; Thano Schoppel, Vice President of Tappan Library; and Jim Uleman of Pearl River, believe investing in the libraries is important.  The libraries are an essential community service that benefits all residents.

Carol LaValle, Tappan Historic Society, spoke about Tappan Library’s expansion and programs.  Restoring funding will support the libraries and local history.

Laura Grunwerg, Director of Blauvelt Library, explained they have a large fund balance because they are looking to expand by purchasing a building.

Raleigh Tozer, President of the Tappan Library, clarified their funding, operation costs and mortgage.  It is important that they get funding.

Councilpersons Diviny, Troy, Morr, Valentine

Noes:      None

 

The Town Clerk presented the Affidavit of Publication, and the Notice of Posting; copies are labeled Exhibit 11-E-14 and made a part of these minutes.

 

Summary of Public portion:

Mike Mandel, Pearl River, said it is great that we got a grant.  Taxpayers should not be responsible for this full expense.  People with illegal sewer hook-ups should pay.  He asked, what the exact total cost is for the Inflow and Infiltration Improvements.

Eileen Larkin, Palisades, asked if this sewer work is going to be done by our sewer department or an outside contractor.

Annmarie Uhl, Blauvelt, is glad we are improving our sewer system.  Is the current work in Nyack part of this bond?

RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby declares itself to be Lead Agency for environmental review in connection with the proposed action, increasing and improving the facilities of the Orangetown Sewer District in the Town of Orangetown, Rockland County, New York, consisting of Inflow and Infiltration improvements, including the re-lining, and, where necessary, the replacement, of existing sewer mains within the District, and the adoption of a Public Interest Order and related Bond resolution in the amount of $2,000,000, in furtherance of such action.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Board further finds and determines that if this action were to be subject to review under SEQRA as an unlisted action, it would have no significant adverse environmental impact, in that the projects and funding approved will improve and upgrade the Town’s sewer system as required under DEC Consent Orders and regulations.  Accordingly, were the action to be held to be an unlisted action, the Board, acting as lead agency, would adopt a Determination of non-significance.
