The National Night Out Skateboard Event, which was organized by Det. Jim Nawoichyk and other members of the Orangetown Police Department, was a successful event. It gave a fresh look at skateboarding as a recreational amenity in Orangetown.

Frank Gemeinhardt, Director of Knights of Columbus, Piermont Council, expressed thanks of appreciation for the help they received from the Town of Orangetown for their charity softball tournament. This tournament raised over $5,000 for the Knights’ charities.
Public Comment:
Alex DiMenna, Blauvelt, would like to see a Tax Study Committee, an Orangetown Newsletter and improvements to the Town’s website. He would update information about STEJ, Orangeburg Commons, ARC and the Pointe at Lake Tappan projects.
Michael Mandel, Pearl River, does not believe Orangetown should fund the girl’s golf program and a gang prevention program. This funding should come from parents, the school district and grants. The funding for Meals on Wheels should be increased because it serves many Town residents and the funding for Camp Venture should be decreased depending on the number of Orangetown residents served.
Andrew Wiley, Pearl River, suggested that more public hearings should be held, in particular, regarding the Sparkill Hamlet Overlay Zoning, RPC and Empire Zones.
Esta Baitler, Sparkill, would like to know when the sewer odors and the sidewalks along Route 340 will be addressed.
Genevieve Coffey, Pearl River, believes taxpayers should be able to choose the charities of their choice and the Town should not spend taxpayers money on community funding.
Jerry Sheer, Palisades, reiterated his concerned of the property on the corner of Closter Rd and Fern Rd being an eyesore and he asked if the soccer fields will be completed in three weeks?
Kuruvilla Cherian, Orangeburg, said it’s difficult for residents to get out of their driveways with the parking on Dutch Hill Rd. He asked if this parking is going to be permanent and why the school does not provide parking on their property?
Ruth Weber, Upper Grandview, spoke about parents, school districts and police being accountable for youths in the community and she is against any more expenditure for athletic fields and community service groups.
Jane Slavin, Tappan, spoke regarding the increase of traffic and other significant traffic issues on Jane Street and Washington Lane. She requested the new traffic-calming plan be reviewed with a public hearing after 90 days.
Viola Smith, Orangeburg, said the parking on Dutch Hill Rd is a safety hazard and it’s difficult for her to get out of her driveway. The parking was only to be temporary during the school construction.
Shelly Morgan, Tappan, questioned supplying portable toilets for the Village of Piermont. He believes, since Orangetown residents have to pay to park along Ferry Rd. in Piermont, the Village should supply their own portable toilets.
