Councilman Denis Troy and Ed O’Dea, chairman of the Substance Abuse Committee, presented plaques to the following members of the Substance Abuse Committee, who made a difference in our community:
Chris Tierney – for his work with Drug Enforcement Kirk Vega – for his DWI work
Neil O’Donnell – for his work with the youths in Nyack Neil Francis – as a Student Rep
Tom Butterworth – as a Student Rep
A lengthy discussion took place by the Town Board regarding the Scope of the Law Enforcement Study.
Aimee Vargas, Clarkstown Director of Finance, said the portion of the scope of the Law Enforcement Study discussed the most is the legislature review. In December 2010, the New York Conference of Mayors had issued a report with regards to unfunded mandates, although it really spoke to the potential real property tax cap. It had some language in there in terms of reforms and there has been some discussion as to whether or not legislature type reforms would be something that would be within the scope. What we are trying to figure out is how it is that we could move forward. Issues of 207C Rockland County Police Act have all been identified as issues which have great impact on the budgets of the Police Departments and therefore it is just a function of phrasing the scope of the RFP so that they are looked at in a budgetary manner. It is important for all the Supervisors to allow the Chiefs and the PBAs the opportunity to look at the document and to provide input. Clarkstown’s Town Attorney and I interpreted the 10% is really referring to the $50,000. It is important for the Town Board to vote tonight because the application has been submitted to the Department of State as of January 19th. They require Town Board resolutions from all the participating agencies to be submitted by the end of the month. This grant probably will not be available next year. Currently, there is a pot of money that is currently available, first come, first serve, which is why it is so critically important for us to try to get this resolved as quickly as possible. The resolution tonight is to just to authorize the Supervisor to submit the grant application to the Department of State. The primary focus of the entire study is what the costs are for Policing in these municipalities and if there are ways to find cost savings and efficiencies. The scope of the study and the study will determine what is going to be looked at in the end. The Rockland PBA and all of the individual PBAs are invited to weigh in on all of the issues. The scope of this law enforcement study is to look at all the possibilities of sharing services in order to cut costs. She commended Chief Nulty because he has really come to the table in terms of giving ideas as to different things that we should be studying, and how we should be approaching this particular study.
Councilman Diviny is concerned that we are going to vote for a study that he hopes is not just a political issue. When the results come back he believes no one is going to do anything. The Town of Haverstraw has already consolidated as village and Town and he does not know if there has been any savings. Orangetown has done its best to keep costs relative to other towns in Rockland with salaries lower. He does not want to spend money for a study that no one is going to vote. He is not going to vote unless you can show me we are saving $100 million dollars. He wants Orangetown to be protected. He believes if we consolidate, the areas of Orangetown will not see a cop because they are going to be elsewhere. God forbid a love one gets sick. The Police are the first responders. They get there way before the ambulance does, we will just see what happens, if it does go that way.
Summary of Public Comments (RTBM)
Michael Mandel, Pearl River, is against voting on the Law Enforcement Study until we have the final RFP. He asked how the Nyack Sewer improvements will be paid and why three more laborers are being hired in the Sewer department.
Eileen Larkin, Palisades, is against the resolution for Consolidation of the Police Departments. Our Police Department has an outstanding reputation and it has always been able to serve our needs.
