Eileen Larkin, Palisades, is concerned about the FAA and the impact on Orangetown and the need to take a stronger position on the Federal Aviation Administration’s proposed flight-paths.  What is the salary for the Clerk of the Works position?  What is the status of the RPC.

Andrew Wiley, Pearl River, questioned additional pension benefits.  He also asked what modification was needed for the electrical system on the soccer fields and why were these needed.
