Summary of Public Comments (RTBM):

Barbara Delo, Blauvelt, said environmental concerns are a good thing.  She asked, if the Town will be bound by EPA standards and if the Town has to give up local control.

Frank Forniaro, Blauvelt, believes many people are over assessed and The Board of Assessment Review members are inexperienced.

Raymond Sheridan, Pearl River, questioned the insurance and settlement for Cortwood Village.

Heather Hurley, Pearl River, said the Prohibited Uses proposed amendment must include defining scale for R & D.  We cannot allow the people of this Town to be left vulnerable to another company like Anellotech.  Companies are declaring they are R & D but they are already at a demo plant scale and circumventing any regulatory permitting guidelines, including air permits.

Kimberly Oats, Geraldine Collins, Dimitri Laddis, and Manny Larenas believe the children should not be put in middle and OMM has violated Town policy.  They are against lowering the residency requirement.

Jimmy Gallagher, Kevin Powers, John Lock, Gordon Miller, Katie Beckman, Patrick Whalen, Christine Gilfoil, Greg Malora, Steve Yassky, Rich Windram, Dean Dillion, and Kerri Beckman  are in favor of OMM and the Field Use Policy.  OMM has created numerous great experiences and opportunities to all the children of Orangetown and they have supported all of the schools’ sports programs.  They are not funded by taxpayers and have committed financially to the Town.

Watson Morgan, Blauvelt, suggested non-residents pay a higher fee to use Town facilities.
