Summary of Public Comments:

Bill McDowell, Nyack Ambulance, explained they negotiated a 10-20% reduction with the Rockland County Paramedics.  The cost of paramedic services is being reduced by $15,000 each year over the next four years and preventing a 2% increase each year.  He requested $47,311 be restored due to members retiring and increase in payroll.

Bill Langham, Director of Orangeburg Library, spoke about 10% cut draws down their reserve fun, leaving very little for capital improvements.

Linda Moffitt, Employee of Orangeburg Library, Spoke against any cuts to the libraries.

Alyssa Moloney, Blauvelt, is against cutting the libraries’ budgets and services.

Cheryl McNeil, Orangeburg resident and librarian, supports the proposed budget of a 0% increase.  She recognizes that the library has a reserve fund currently equal to about 70% of their operating budget.

John Buckley, Orangeburg Library Trustee, requested that the Town Board add no further cuts to the library budget.  The 10% cut has caused spending down their reserve fund. It will be impossible to come back ask the Board and taxpayers for an increase in order to get back to their normal operating budget.

Annmarie Uhl, Blauvelt, is concerned about taking money fund balance to pay to stay under the 2% cap.  She objects to the Town collecting school taxes.  The Board should consider having the school districts collect their own taxes.

Eileen Larkin, Palisades, asked if the 2014 budget reflects any salary increases for appointed officials.  What part of the budget is below and above the cap?  She appreciates that the budget is below the cap but it is important that the Town services are maintained.

Mike Mandel, Pearl River, said the Town could save $80 – 90,000 by eliminating leaf pick-up on Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving and Veteran’s Day.  A three-day delay really would not make a difference in picking up the leaves.

Raleigh Tozer, Tappan resident and Tappan Library, explained a cut to their budget will be a real hardship.  At the end of their construction their fund balance will be $250,000.  He believes the Board should look at each library individually.

Carla Davie, Blauvelt, enjoys the children services at the Orangeburg Library.

Helena Powers, Palisades Library Trustee, are against cutting the budgets. The Board should look at the libraries’ individually needs.

Habib Hanson, Pearl River, Senator Carlucci is supposed to bring money to the libraries.

Watson Morgan, Blauvelt, is against cutting the libraries’ budgets and causing them to use their reserve funds.

Robert Simmon, Receiver of Taxes, spoke about the need for a clerk in the Office of the Receiver of Taxes.
