Public portion  for the Public Hearing 2009 Budget

Paul Goldman, Palisades, requested that the Town Board publish (WEB) changes to the budget in a timely fashion that would allow the public to comment on any changes made.

Jon Plowe, Palisades, inquired as to why there is a difference in dollars, is this because 2007 is an entire year and 2008 is presently year to date?  Also he asked why there are significant differences on certain lines.  He asked to be updated so that he will be prepared to ask questions regarding the changes.

Mario Gonzales, Trustee for the Orangeburg Library, asked the Town Board to reconsider the 0% increase. This budget will significantly influence programs offered to the children and the elderly.

Michael Mandel, Pearl River, asked the Town Board to consider a 0% increase or reduced increase for the 2009 budget.  He suggested a hiring freeze and raises for non union workers should not exceed the % given to the union workers. The golf course should not give free golf to anyone.  Heat and cooling should be conserved just as we do at home.

Andrew Wiley, Pearl River, said the budget should be controlled and offered the following: reduce or eliminate the parking enforcement officers, meals for the police, travel increases, costs of tuition, increase in chemicals, Suzanne Barclay’s increase of 11.6% and Sewer increases including change orders.

Bob Crable, Sparkill, wants a discussion regarding the raise in town councils pensions.

Norm Schaifer, Palisades, said we are in financial crises which will get worse.  The Town Board should consider cutting jobs to reduce expenses and prepare for future foreclosures because, he believes, that the adjustable rate mortgage has not hit the bottom yet.

Dorian Tunell, Palisades, asked how are the costs of pensions funded and does the Town contribute.

Paul Morer, representing the Nyack Community Ambulance Corps. Inc., spoke regarding the total budget requests needed to continue the community services provided by the Ambulance Corps.

 

A discussion took place between the Town Board and a decision was made to adjourn the public hearing until Monday the 10th of November at 8:05 p.m.
