Summary of Public Comments (RTBM):

Ronni Cummings, CSEA President, made it clear that the Union is not against an IT and Records Management position in the Police Department.   She requested, the Town Board to fill the vacant position of Senior Record Clerk Typist/Law Enforcement.

Mary Kane, Orangeburg Library Director, explained the goals of the Orangeburg Library and mention the services available to everyone.

Cheryl McNeil, Orangeburg Library’s Head Reference Librarian, visits, delivers books and interacts with seniors.

Lynne Warshavsky, Orangeburg Library’s Event Coordinator, said the library holds many free events like cooking classes, seminars, yoga, and gardening.

Eileen Larkin, Palisades, is against discussions, in Executive Session, regarding the development of RPC.  An outside planning consultant would be good for new development ideas

Brian Condon, Attorney for Stop Anellotech, said there were no bad intentions when serving an Article 78, June 16^th, to the Town.  It was just a courtesy after receiving calls from Rob Magrino.

Mike Mandel, Pearl River, supports Councilman Diviny’s proposals for term limits and restricting access to Town parks to residents only.  He believes a new appraisal for Lot 1 be obtained.

Steven Murphy, Orangeburg, spoke about the events taken place at 7 O’Grady Ct.  He has witnessed filming of pornographic videos, large parties, filming, and a 3-day wedding with buses dropping off and picking up guests.  He asked the Board for help in shutting down this commercial business.

Susan Murphy, Orangeburg, lives across the street from 7 O’Grady Ct.  The events taken place there are inappropriate and the neighborhood is not safe with all these strangers.

Betsy Brenner, Orangeburg, said several garbage containers are left on O’Grady Court causing a health hazard.  This business needs to be shut-down and issue large penalties.

Raselle Fisher, Orangeburg, is a neighbor to 7 O’Grady Ct.  She does not understand a commercial business, with short-term rentals, in a R-40 (residential) zoning district.

John Sules, Orangeburg, said operating a bar, a catering hall or a boarding house in a residential neighborhood is outrageous.  He is glad the Town is taken action.

Dr. Edward Fisher, Orangeburg, said he has sat in the Town Board’s seat for 12 yrs.  This is a Quality of Life issue and a health hazard.  He thanked the Board for their prompt action.

Donald Brenner, Attorney, researched statues on short-term rentals and handed out the Village of Oyster Bay Cove statue.  He believes Summons need to be issued and large penalties are crucial.

Heather Hurley, Stop Anellotech, believes the Town Board has misled and failed to protect the community.  She claims that Town officials purposely did not look for the faxed Rockland County comments, so that a vote to adopt a local law, regarding Prohibited Uses, could not take place.

Dr. Kathleen Kelley, DNP, MSN, RN, CCRN, CNRN, Pearl River, asked the Town Board to take immediate action against cancer carcinogens.  The laws must be strengthen to protect the community.

Amy Wertheim, Pearl River, supports the control of bamboo. She wants to know, when the code is going to be changed, regarding Prohibited Uses.  She is against Anellotech manufacturing BTX.
