Ben Roujanski led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

 

Detectives Bob Goldrick, Danny Costello, and Matt Ryder were honored by Chief Nulty and the Town Board for their outstanding performance in solving a drug abuse case.  Detective Goldrick is part of the DEA Taskforce Diversion Group.  He works on cases throughout Rockland, in chasing drug dealers and users.  Monday, October 28, 2013, was a sad day, when the Detectives responded to a call and found a young man, who died from an overdose.  After their investigation, this case was handed over to the DEA to continue investigating.  The DEA arrested a man and charged him with murder conspiracy for the sale of drugs that killed the young man.

Chief Nulty, along with Councilman Troy and Ed O’Day, recognized New York State Trooper, Frank Rose, (a Certified Drug Expert), for his outstanding contributions in minimizing substance abuse in Orangetown and Christopher Weisenberg, a student at Tappan Zee High School, for being a huge asset to the Substance Abuse Committee.

 

Summary of Public Comments (RTBM):

Ben Roujanski, Orangeburg and a WWII Veteran, said Veterans can currently get a 15% tax exemption and that there is another 10% available, as well to widows/widowers.  He requested the Supervisor and Town Board’s assistance with the School Boards to approve these exemptions on School Taxes by March 1^st.

Eileen Larkin, Palisades, spoke about problems of drug addiction and the impact on the individual as well as families. Marijuana is a gateway drug and the fight to adress is a lifelong commitment.  She is in favor of the contract with Appliedgolf.

Mike Mandel, Pearl River, asked where will the $300,000, from the closed capital improvement accounts be allocated.  He believes the Youth Court Graduation, Police Promotions, Workshops, topics of interest to the public, ceremonies and public messages should have been televised.

Mr. Scarano, Appliedgolf, said they welcome the opportunity to partner with the Town implementing a plan in making the Town residents and surrounding areas proud to play at Broadacres.

Robert Tompkins, Pearl River, complained that Cablevision’s meeting broadcast had no sound.

A lengthy discussion took place between the Town Board regarding Appliedgolf’s contract.

 

Councilman Morr said the golf model looks like a good arrangement.  However, he would like to hear from someone else that the numbers we are working with are, in fact, accurate.

 

 

Supervisor Stewart thinks the model is a very good one, Appliedgolf’s record is good and his understanding of Broadacres’ budget is thorough.  We have certainly drawn heavily on the advice of our Finance Department and the Superintendent of Parks and Recreation.

Councilman Troy asked if the entire Finance Department and the head of Parks and Recreation agree with doing this.

Supervisor Stewart said it is a group effort and the golf committee voted in favor of it.  The Finance Department has reinforced, our auditors’ recommendation that we need to take action.

Councilman Troy asked do you think they support it.

Supervisor Stewart responded, Yes, I absolutely do.  We could not have put the analysis together without the Finance Department.

Councilman Diviny questioned the statement of overwhelming support from the Golf Committee.  When they voted on this, there were six people, five people voted for it and one abstained.  I do not even know if they had the necessary quorum to actually have the meeting if they didn’t have the majority number of members there that night.  So to say that the Golf Committee overwhelmingly supports this is a little misleading.

Supervisor Stewart commented I am not sure a vote by the Golf Committee has any particular authority.  It just represents a sense of where people stand.

Councilman Diviny heard, through his Golf Committee email chain that a lease agreement was a vital option, and the management contract did not do anything for the Town.  We will have the same problems in the future that we have now.

Councilman Valentine, as the liaison to the committee, explained, that was at the beginning of the conversations when we were deciding on one or the other.  When it became apparent that we could only do one, they reviewed it again, and they said it was better than nothing.  Everyone but one person he spoke to, or has gotten emails from, support it except for one.

Jeff Bencik explained that the non-cash items are post employees’ health care benefits, which is a future cost.  We do an actual assumption based on the employee’s age and expected life span.  We project out what the future costs are going to be.  We have three employees and our costs are $83,000.  We drop down to two employees so our cost becomes $56,000.  If Appliedgolf takes over then that number of employees is going to go to zero, but we still will be paying these employees health care.  The saving are there, but I cannot specifically say which year.   The bottom line is we are going to have two fewer employees that we are going to have to pay for health care in the future.  We are going to see the savings by not having to pay for those employees in the future.

Supervisor Stewart stated there are different kinds of costs, in the operation of a town or golf course.  Some of them are budgeted year to year; some are our future costs that need to be understood.  I think we pretty well understand the different kinds of costs.  The goal is to lose substantially less over several years and that is a green flag in his book.  I think the operational costs will be reduced and the numbers have not been manipulated.  We have a model that has been thoroughly reviewed.

Councilman Diviny does not think the numbers are going to end up the way everyone else does.  We are paying more for the management fee than we are bringing in, which is a red flag to me.  Appliedgolf’s management fee goes up every year and the Town will need higher revenues, which I do not see happening.

Councilman Valentine wants to approve a 3-year contract with Appliedgolf and if they do not meet our goals, we do not renew the contract.  We then make the hard decision – Do we close Broadacres or do we take it back and run it ourselves.  He believes Broadacres is an asset to the Town and he is trying to do everything he can to keep it open.

Councilman Troy stated, it is definitely, a difference of option, in terms as whether this is going to be good or not for the Town.  The good news is that the Supervisor is not closing the course, which was his agenda for two years.  The numbers may have been manipulated or these numbers may be right.  The former Finance Director was against Broadacres, the baseball and soccer fields and any place that was costing money.  He was cooking the books, he was manipulating the numbers.  The numbers are better now and they have changed over the period of time that we have been looking at this.  Broadacres, the soccer and baseball fields, and green space are all recreational assets to the Town.

Mr. Scarano, Appliedgolf, understands the apprehension from some of the Councilmen.  The numbers and the model have been vetted.  They are reasonable assumptions.  Appliedgolf has some resources available that the Town cannot allocate to Broadacres (ex a marketing plan & a new website).  There is a viable effort on both parts because it is a partnership.  We pride ourselves in ethics.  We are not here for a fast buck.  Our models are consistent.  Our commitments go beyond five years.  Orangetown’s Golf Committee has taken a look at a number of our properties.  You cannot turn every stone overnight, but our performance in the past speaks for itself.  We are here to make a commitment to you, to the Town and most importantly to the people who use Broadacres.

WHEREAS, by resolution duly adopted the 28^th day of January 2014, the Town Board determined that it is in the best economic interests of the Town to contract with AppliedGolf for the management of the Broadacres Golf Course, and, following the adoption of a Determination of Non-Significance under SEQRA, approved an agreement in principle with AppliedGolf, subject to its review and approval of a formal Management Contract; and

 

WHEREAS, the Town Board has reviewed a proposed Contract prepared and negotiated by the Town Attorney,

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby approves a Management Contract between the Town and AppliedGolf for the management of the Broadacres Golf Course for the 2014, 2015 and 2016 golf seasons, subject to the continued availability of the course of the golf course for such use for the 2016 season, a copy of which is
