Kevin Nulty, Chief of Police, introduced the officers being sworn-in and the officer being promoted.  Charlotte Madigan, Town Clerk, administered the “Oath of Office” to these newly appointed.

 

Stearns & Wheler and Ron Delo gave an update regarding the Sewer projects.  All projects are within budget and on schedule, especially since the weather has been very accommodating.  Mr. Delo thanked property owners, who have been affected by these projects, for their patience.  Some of the projects have had numerous challenges, missed or unmarked utilities, and unknown underground fuel tanks.  Mike Tamblin, Stearns & Wheler, said in three to four weeks two of the projects, which involve work in public right of ways, will be completed.  At the Wastewater Treatment Plant the odor control system, the chlorine disinfection system, rehabilitation of process equipment & buildings and a sludge truck storage facilities will be addressed.  The Hunt Road Pumping Station will be replaced with a new pumping structure and system.  New Gravity Force main Sewers for Pearl River and Better Brands and new force main/siphon/gravity sewers for Hunt Road will improve the collection system.  The Tier I Pumping Stations are ready to start construction and the Tier II/III pumping stations are ready to go out to bid.

 

John Giardiello, P.E., Director, OBZPAE, and Brian Kenney, Assessor, spoke about steps that have been and will be taken concerning residential occupancy issues.  The Building Department records and the Assessor’s Office records have been compared and any discrepancies will be investigated.  In the future any complaints or discrepancies in fieldwork with both departments will also be investigated.  When the bulk of this is completed, the Town will do the same with multi-family dwellings.

James Dean, Superintendent of Highways, spoke about traffic calming techniques in residential communities.  There’s been input from public meetings, the Traffic Advisory Board and Adler Traffic Consultants, the Town’s consultant.  The major recommendation for the area of Lexington Ave, Concord, Oak Tree Road and Washington is to slow the traffic down, reduce the size of the intersection and install speed humps.

Supervisor Kleiner said Orangetown and Clarkstown are in inter-municipal discussions about sharing Clarktown’s three swimming pools and Orangetown’s two golf courses.  For years, the Town Board has been trying to institute an inter-municipal agreement for two things missing from each town.

 

Public Comment

Genevieve Coffey, Pearl River, is against the present 2008 budget percent increase.  This 4.3% increase is more than the cost of living.

Michael Mandel, Pearl River, is against the high cost of the Town Attorney’s Office operating expenses caused by using outside counsel.  He is against the $10,000 increase to Deputy Town Attorneys, and against full-time vs. part-time benefits.

Joann Coffey-Fasulo, Pearl River, spoke regarding high taxes and tax rates for senior and volunteer housing.

Eileen Larkin, Palisades, spoke the supply of water, the Tobacco resolution and Gov. Spitzer’s proposal for driver licenses.

Andrew Wiley, Pearl River, agrees with the library tax cuts and he spoke about global warming and health benefits.

Annmarie Uhl and five other members of Sparkill Civic Association, representing Michael Maturo, thanked Jim Dean for all his meetings regarding traffic and parking in Sparkill.  They requested to be involved and kept up to date regarding these issues.

Denise McIntee, Sparkill, spoke about problems teenagers are causing in the park behind her house.  These teenagers are making noise late, skateboarding and smoking along the path. Mary McCloskey, Blauvelt, encouraged the Town Board to set the selection criteria for the senior affordable adult housing. She spoke highly of the Rockland Housing Action Coalition, Inc. to market this housing.  After many years of being involved in the process, she was happy to announce she is in contract.

Shelly Morgan, Tappan, spoke regarding the budget and asked why STEJ has not started building the sports complex.

WHEREAS, the U.S. Conference of Mayors has adopted strong policy resolutions calling for societies, communities and the federal government to take actions to reduce global warming pollution; and

 

WHEREAS, the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the international community’s most respected assemblage of scientists, is clear that there is no longer any credible doubt that climate disruption is a reality and that human activities are largely responsible for increasing concentrations of global warming pollution; and

 

WHEREAS, recent, well-documented impacts of climate disruption include average global seal level increases of four to eight inches during the 20th century; a 40% decline in Arctic sea-ice thickness; and nine of the ten hottest years on record occurring in the past decade; and

 

Resolution No.  693 – Continued

 

WHEREAS, climate disruption of the magnitude now predicted by the scientific community will cause extremely costly disruption of human and natural systems throughout the world including: increased risk or floods or droughts; sea-level rises that interact with coastal storms to erode beaches, inundate land, and damage structures; more frequent and extreme heat waves, more frequent and greater concentrations of smog; and

 

WHEREAS, on February 16, 2005, the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement to address climate disruption, entered into force in the 141 countries that have ratified it to date; 38 of those countries are now legally required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on average 5.2 percent below 1990 levels by 2012; and

 

WHEREAS, the United States of America, with less than five percent of the world’s population, is responsible for producing approximately 25% of the world’s global warming pollutants yet is not a party to the Kyoto Protocol; and

 

WHEREAS, the Kyoto Protocol emissions reduction target for the U.S., had it ratified the treaty, would have been 7% below 1990 levels by 2012; and

 

WHEREAS, many leading U.S. companies that have adopted greenhouse gas reduction programs to demonstrate corporate social responsibility have also publicly expressed preference for the U.S. to adopt precise and mandatory emission targets and timetables as a means by which to remain competitive in the international marketplace, to mitigate financial risk and to promote sound investment decisions; and

 

WHEREAS, state and local governments throughout the United States are adopting emission reduction targets and programs and that this leadership is bipartisan, coming from Republican and Democratic governors and mayors alike; and

 

WHEREAS, many cities throughout the nation, both large and small, are reducing global warming pollutants through programs that provide economic and quality of life benefits such as reduced energy bills, green space preservation, air quality improvements, reduced traffic congestion, improved transportation choices, and economic development and job creation through energy conservation and new energy technologies; and

 

WHEREAS, 691 mayors of local governments representing over 74 million U.S. citizens, have signed the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement which reads:

 

The U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement

  1. We urge the U.S. Congress to pass the bipartisan Climate Stewardship Act sponsored by Senators McCain and Lieberman and Representatives Gilchrist and Olver, which would create a flexible, market-based system of tradable allowances among emitting industries; and

  1. Increase the use of clean, alternative energy by, for example, investing in “green tags”, advocating for the development of renewable energy resources, and recovering landfill methane for energy production;

 

  1. Make energy efficiency a priority through building code improvements, retrofitting city facilities with energy efficient lighting and urging employees to conserve energy and save money;

 

  1. Purchase only Energy Star equipment and appliances for City use;

 

  1. Practice and promote sustainable building practices using the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED program or a similar system;

  1. Evaluate opportunities to increase pump efficiency in water and wastewater systems; recover wastewater treatment methane for energy production;

 

  1. Increase recycling rates in City operations and in the community;

 

  1. Maintain healthy urban forests; promote tree planting to increase shading and to absorb CO2; and

 

  1. Help educate the public, schools, other jurisdictions, professional associations, business and industry about reducing global warming pollution; and
