Supervisor Kleiner announced on February 9th at 7 p.m., a meeting regarding Pearl River Parking issues will be held at the library.
The Town Board addressed the rules for the public participation. Councilpersons Morr, Manning and Troy agreed to allow residents to speak at the Workshop meetings. The Council agreed with Supervisor Kleiner to allow the five minutes to remain. There is only two hours of tape, the agenda at this time will only be able to air this portion of the meeting but perhaps this can be changed to three hours.
Public Comment
Shelly Morgan, Tappan, played tapes from Don Hardy, Piermont and Supervisor Kleiner. These tapes (not very clear) seem to indicate that the Piermont pier is located in Orangetown. He feels Orangetown residents should pay the same fee, for the pier, as Piermont residents.
Richard Kavesh, Nyack Trustee, gave his condolences for John Bellew, Pearl River, as well as the other 2 FDNY firemen, who lost their lives in a tragic fire. He is in favor of public speaking for any length of time, at any time, and on any topic.
Ruth Weber, Upper Grandview Association, thanked Councilwoman Manning for being against STEJ selling alcohol. She is in favor of public participation at Town Board meetings. Weber is against bonding for the recreation fields.
Michael Mandel, Orangetown resident, is in favor of a referendum for the fields. Mr. Mandel believes the kiosks parking meters, as part of the Pearl River revitalization, would not be an improvement.
Rich Volpe, Pres. SOLL, spoke about the great need for playing fields for our children and the loss of their clubhouse, which means new space must be found. SOLL is in favor of the recreation bond.
Kerry Beckmann, Pres. OMM, is in favor of issuance of the recreation bond. The South Orangetown School District’s spring construction will further hinder the use of fields.
Mark Alexander, SOLL Board Member is in favor of the recreation bond. He suggests developing a Cooperative Partnership between the Town and all its youth leagues.
Fred Baldus, Pearl River, asked why a Planning Board member, who has been arrested, still sits on the Board? Can the Highway Dept. develop these fields rather than Bond for them?
Don Ferrick, Orangetown Patriots member, petitioned the Town Board for the Patriots to participant in the recreational opportunities. They are willing to contribute money to make this opportunity work.
Andrew Wiley, Pearl River, is in favor of a referendum for the recreation bond. He feels that the Non-profits celebrations are a financial burden to taxpayers.
Tony Doyle, Mrs. Shanahan, Teresa Gilmartin, Arthur Matrisciani, representing Colonial Ct., Pearl River, are against senior housing on Colonial Ct. This would increase cars and traffic, which will be detrimental to all residents on this court.
Eileen Larkin, Palisades, said that lives have been lost due to the lack of a cardiac care unit. This County needs a cardiac care unit to save lives. We must also have an air quality control center in Rockland County. The public participation at workshops is a good idea.
Gail Raffaele, Tappan; What are the actual charges for the use of the show-mobile, including use of employees? She is in favor of a public referendum for anything over $1 million.
Genevieve Coffey, Pearl River; All bonds over $1 million should be voted on by the public. Can town employees do the work on the playing fields?
Leo Schaefer, Pres. OT Patriots, said the need for playing fields is urgent. All children need a safe place to play sports.
Somnath Konduru, Tappan, asked if the Town Board had a chance to look at his a proposal to consolidate the 4 libraries.
The Town Board agrees that these fields are necessary because of the need for all the children presently playing sports. Because sports are an important development for children, these fields will represent the best use for families, friends and children. The Town Board wants this to go forward in an expeditious way. However, we need to confirm what action is necessary to have a solvent agreement.
