Charlotte Madigan led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

Rose Marie Raccioppi, Orangetown Environmental Committee, spoke about the need to eliminate the use of toxic pesticides (Orangetown Non-toxic Transition).  Extensive documentation, ongoing medical research, both nationally and globally, calls for the elimination of toxic pesticides.  Ms. Raccioppi requested the Town Board pass legislation to reduce or eliminate pesticides or use non-toxic pesticides on Town parks and fields so that Orangetown can move toward a healthier sustainable environment.

 

The tracker in the Palisades area, Bill Marple, said the cameras were placed in six locations for five days.  Pictures were taken of a variety of animals but not the cat.  He said based on tracks that were found, a cat the size of a young adult mountain lion does exist.  He believes the cat is domesticated and has escaped or has been released.

 

Summary of Public Comments

Michael Mandel, Pearl River, spoke about prisoners cleaning up the RPC site.  He asked the status of granting the land use change for the property next to Lowe’s on Route 303.

Esta Baitler, Sparkill, asked who authorized the camera in the LIU parking lot and the cutting down of trees along Route 340.  She believes the Town should do open space projects.

John Slattery, Pearl River, spoke about the fire districts’ budgets and submission of required documents from them.

Alex DiMenna, Blauvelt, requested the proposed code changes regarding the definition of Home Occupation.  He agrees the Town should have a comprehensive open space program.

Alexis Starke, Piermont, expressed her full support for a non-toxic maintenance act for Orangetown town properties.

Carol Baxter, Palisades, thanked Tracker SFI for their professionalism, respectfulness and deep knowledge of nature.  She reiterated the need for the tracking to continue.

Dick DeShern, Palisades, is concerned about the large cat and believes the number of cameras is inadequate.

Fred Little, Palisades, requested a clear timeline, now that the trackers have the equipment.  He is against reducing the Performance Bond for the Route 9W Subdivision.

Lorraine Magretti, Tappan, spoke about the Sharks Swim Club fees, profits and their use of the taxpayers’ pool.  She said their financials are not available and she requested the Town to do some due diligence before signing a contract with them.

The Town Clerk asked that all documents and agreements that require a signature to include the Town Clerk, as well as the Supervisor.

Jonathan Plow, Palisades, requested additional time for the trackers.  The Town should consider donating the cameras to Tracker SFI or granting permission indefinitely for them to use or for the community to continue using them.
