00:05:24.300 --> 00:05:36.090
Kennon Rothchild: I had to unmute myself quickly officer yeah there there's one I was talking with a resident on North broadway prior to you know just across the village border.

32
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:49.980
Kennon Rothchild: Talking about his concerns about continued speeding so it's not obviously justin the school area, but even you know coming up from nyack into the village is an area, so that the police department can.

33
00:05:50.310 --> 00:05:52.140
Kennon Rothchild: Look at that upon occasion that would be great.

34
00:05:53.280 --> 00:06:09.780
18454991094: I will put that on my list, and I will flow i'm in the same office as our traffic unit, so I will make sure that that's taken care of and I just want to give kudos to him, like the code enforcement we've been corresponding and the doing great job, so thank you.

35
00:06:10.530 --> 00:06:11.850
18454991094: It looks like we do have.

36
00:06:11.910 --> 00:06:14.310
Karen Tarapata: One resident, though, who has raised his hand.

37
00:06:17.490 --> 00:06:23.130
Karen Tarapata: So let's allow i'm going to give you a chance at this is chase.

38
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.780
Karen Tarapata: Alright chase we're moving you up so you can speak.

39
00:06:27.990 --> 00:06:30.750
Chase Altneu: Wonderful Happy New Year everybody.

40
00:06:31.950 --> 00:06:45.090
Chase Altneu: i'm just a quick question just you know kind of just thinking in my head or anything has a town ever you know, come to a conversation at all about kind of deer control in the area, or is that something that's really.

41
00:06:46.140 --> 00:06:51.090
Chase Altneu: found upon or anything else because you know, we have, at any given time.

42
00:06:52.320 --> 00:07:02.970
Chase Altneu: Probably like 20 or 30 year that are on our lawn sleeping you know can't be out has the town, you know, had any consideration about deer control of the door.

43
00:07:04.170 --> 00:07:05.250
18454991094: I would find that uh.

44
00:07:06.090 --> 00:07:16.710
Karen Tarapata: Oh God I can't really answer that quickly and that because we back up on state land we've had several meetings and a lot of discussions about it.

45
00:07:16.950 --> 00:07:19.350
Karen Tarapata: Even if we were to eliminate every.

46
00:07:19.530 --> 00:07:27.660
Karen Tarapata: deer that we have now there's a good chance they would all be there would be new ones in from here to rockland lake within weeks.

47
00:07:28.050 --> 00:07:33.390
Chase Altneu: Of course Okay, no totally understandable Karen, thank you for that answer yeah okay yeah that's.

48
00:07:33.540 --> 00:07:35.190
18454991094: That would be through the Dec.

49
00:07:35.700 --> 00:07:36.090
that's you.

50
00:07:37.170 --> 00:07:54.120
Chase Altneu: Know mean great, but by no means that would ever want to eliminate the deer population or i'm sure nobody would want that, but you know it just seems like there's quite a bit and I found a couple of them on my lawn couple fun um with a major amount of text been talking like blistering.

51
00:07:54.540 --> 00:07:55.200
18454991094: On themselves.

52
00:07:56.100 --> 00:07:59.880
Karen Tarapata: You know that's actually something you could probably might be able to call animal control.

53
00:07:59.880 --> 00:08:13.560
Karen Tarapata: Because usually that's a sign that they're not going to make it one thing when they're covered in tix that's from my research, that means that they're not being cared for by the mother, the mother may have already been hit by a car or whatever their.

54
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:14.160
18454991094: phone is.

55
00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:16.950
Karen Tarapata: More than likely abandoned at that point.

56
00:08:17.790 --> 00:08:26.820
Chase Altneu: understood yeah I made a call once, I think, to the the lady I forget her name but I made a call once before, but i'll make sure to keep that in mind, thank you, thank you yeah.

57
00:08:26.880 --> 00:08:33.870
18454991094: Thank you Casey Casey dial the general number just asked for animal control it's a patty McCoy is her name.

58
00:08:34.680 --> 00:08:37.080
Chase Altneu: So, but i'll keep that in mind, thank you, thank you.

59
00:08:38.250 --> 00:08:38.400
Kennon Rothchild: I.

60
00:08:38.640 --> 00:08:39.030
18454991094: would just.

61
00:08:39.300 --> 00:08:53.430
Kennon Rothchild: I would just add one thing about the checks on the gear I have experienced with added on fire island, which also has a deer population and tix a bad one, and they have found, you know that the.

62
00:08:54.840 --> 00:09:09.840
Kennon Rothchild: Contrary Karen and i'm not a scientist, so I can't you know talk numbers on this, but having lots of text and seem to be assigned about health it just seemed to be a sign of a lot of ticks in the area and no mitigation occurring the the.

63
00:09:11.070 --> 00:09:13.710
Kennon Rothchild: way that they've tried to control it, there is to set up.

64
00:09:13.710 --> 00:09:14.970
Kennon Rothchild: feeding stations.

65
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:28.230
Kennon Rothchild: which feed the deer but they have to in order to get to the food they have to stick their heads, through rollers that have insecticide and that kills and that kills the Turks so it's one way of.

66
00:09:29.250 --> 00:09:41.730
Kennon Rothchild: You know, eliminating that the tick situation or mitigating the tix situation on dear, without necessarily doing anything further to the deer population even Of course I civics boat so just.

67
00:09:42.630 --> 00:09:43.830
Kennon Rothchild: i'm just pulling information.

68
00:09:44.370 --> 00:09:47.490
Karen Tarapata: Just real quick, though the deer on fire island oh there.

69
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:56.340
Karen Tarapata: Do they travel to the mainland Are they really pretty much isolated i'm just saying, because we have such a huge amount of state.

70
00:09:56.340 --> 00:09:56.760
18454991094: Land.

71
00:09:57.180 --> 00:10:06.990
Karen Tarapata: To our North, even if we were to try and control the tix Would that be possible with a with an unbounded population.

72
00:10:08.250 --> 00:10:24.210
Kennon Rothchild: The tier deer population there does migrate across the two bridges that do co from fire island to the mainland as part of its it's not quite the same thing is being bordering you know a number of miles of state property and park property but.

73
00:10:25.260 --> 00:10:27.360
Kennon Rothchild: They still do in fact.

74
00:10:28.830 --> 00:10:35.640
Kennon Rothchild: You know the population isn't just totally isolated it's it was used as a site for.

75
00:10:36.990 --> 00:10:44.040
Kennon Rothchild: an experiment on birth control gear, because it was a relatively constraint population.

76
00:10:45.840 --> 00:11:05.490
Kennon Rothchild: And the yeah it was successful, but the national park service decided to discontinue it much to the dismay of animal lovers, and instead instituted a policy of killing deer on national parkland not in the residential areas of the island, so just.

77
00:11:06.630 --> 00:11:11.640
Karen Tarapata: Show us maybe it's something for us to take up with the palisades interstate park Commission.

78
00:11:12.780 --> 00:11:24.270
Kennon Rothchild: yeah I yeah I I don't have much hope that you'll get much traction there, I mean you can certainly try and talk to them about it but it's there's a lot of processes involved in that sort of thing and.

79
00:11:26.130 --> 00:11:37.560
Kennon Rothchild: You know, pretty much the solution everybody seems to gravitate towards is calling the population that's but the ticket size thing is something we as a village could consider.

80
00:11:39.270 --> 00:11:52.170
Kennon Rothchild: If we wanted to it did it did seem to require significant buy in from residents around the station I can't remember what the radius is but needed apparently hundred percent.

81
00:11:53.730 --> 00:12:08.040
Kennon Rothchild: Agreement to having such a station within a certain radius of that station from the residents in the area, so um it's a it's a I think it's a great thing to do, but it does involve a fair amount of work to make it happen.

82
00:12:08.580 --> 00:12:17.400
Karen Tarapata: see what you can find for me that'd be really good to know what, if anything from your experience on fire early to find any information that'd be useful.

83
00:12:17.910 --> 00:12:18.330
Karen Tarapata: So I know.

84
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:27.120
Karen Tarapata: There are a number of residents who are interested in fear control and we've we've never come up with anything that seemed like a.

85
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:36.000
Karen Tarapata: Whether it's the population control the control wouldn't have not come up with a solution that's to our scale.

86
00:12:37.980 --> 00:12:39.570
Kennon Rothchild: population control is difficult.

87
00:12:40.050 --> 00:12:47.670
Kennon Rothchild: chicken troll is a little easier, unfortunately, you know you control the chicks that isn't control the population, it just feeds the deer which allows them to.

88
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:57.390
Kennon Rothchild: propagate more so there's that you know that's downside, so you know i'm just saying there is there are solutions to the problem but.

89
00:12:59.280 --> 00:13:03.810
Kennon Rothchild: You know the population problems, a big ongoing issue and and, as you can imagine.

90
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:12.750
Kennon Rothchild: there's really strong opinions on both sides, such that the folks on fire island, who are in charge of talking about it basically say we take no stand, because there are.

91
00:13:13.230 --> 00:13:22.410
Kennon Rothchild: You know it's it's kind of like the current political situation customer they're people who want to kill all the deer and the people who want to save all the deer and there's not much in between so.

92
00:13:25.170 --> 00:13:35.430
Karen Tarapata: Okay, well, thank you miles for staying for our our dear if you if you if you have any good ways to control dear pass it on.

93
00:13:36.450 --> 00:13:36.750
Karen Tarapata: Okay.

94
00:13:36.780 --> 00:13:42.420
18454991094: So so actually my parents only a fruit and vegetable farm and we put up fences senses.

95
00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:45.240
18454991094: that's, the only thing that we can do that, we do.

96
00:13:47.190 --> 00:13:51.240
18454991094: So I don't know about putting the big think that's possible to put a big age with fence around the whole village.

97
00:13:52.380 --> 00:13:54.930
Karen Tarapata: Now, but many people are putting up your fences that it's.

98
00:13:54.990 --> 00:13:56.310
absolutely the case.

99
00:13:58.740 --> 00:14:08.310
18454991094: Okay, so this is no other questions Thank you so much, and again if there's ever problems issues questions, please don't hesitate to give us a call Thank you.

100
00:14:10.380 --> 00:14:13.410
Karen Tarapata: Okay, so our next thing is our.

101
00:14:14.490 --> 00:14:23.100
Karen Tarapata: New code enforcement officer Michael, no one is going to give a report of his activities, since, since it began.

102
00:14:24.180 --> 00:14:26.610
Karen Tarapata: Since it began Hello Mike.

103
00:14:27.150 --> 00:14:29.520
Mike Nolan: All right, how is everyone tonight very.

104
00:14:29.700 --> 00:14:39.480
Mike Nolan: Good okay um so pretty much starting on December 16 we did start with some of the leaf blower complaints.

105
00:14:40.650 --> 00:14:49.890
Mike Nolan: I did respond and there was a police officer at the first one, and then there was one about a week later that looks like the residents just had their landscaper.

106
00:14:50.400 --> 00:15:03.000
Mike Nolan: You know, show up periodically when they weren't home, but they were left with a notice informing them that the leaf blower band has been in the noise ordinance has been in effect from there we've had.

107
00:15:04.020 --> 00:15:08.010
Mike Nolan: Four noise complaints down in the van van houghton area.

108
00:15:09.900 --> 00:15:14.250
Mike Nolan: i'd always complaint for heavy equipment operation before 9am.

109
00:15:15.390 --> 00:15:20.970
Mike Nolan: There was a complaint about garbage left on broadway that was taking care of.

110
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:25.350
Mike Nolan: A few complaints from.

111
00:15:26.820 --> 00:15:36.930
Mike Nolan: Different residents that had animals on their property and off their property, as well as noise from dogs in another area of the village, there was a.

112
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:47.340
Mike Nolan: checkup on a trailer whether or not it was registered or unregistered on a residence property and, most recently we've had.

113
00:15:48.330 --> 00:15:59.070
Mike Nolan: i've gone out and we've sent out mailers to inform multiple residents, that when it snows or ISIS that they have to take care of their sidewalks.

114
00:15:59.730 --> 00:16:14.580
Mike Nolan: You know and remove the obstructions of the snow and ice within a 24 hour period of the storm ending, which I did a quick check before the end of today and the entire area was completely clear.

115
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:20.280
Mike Nolan: Of the from this morning snow and ice let's see.

116
00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:33.510
Mike Nolan: That was pretty much most of that was that was all of the stuff since i've become the code enforcer and everything was put up on the website where everyone knows how to get in touch with me.

117
00:16:34.140 --> 00:16:47.970
Mike Nolan: And all of these cases, I was able to make contact with you know the residents and explain to them what was going on, but the code was hand out copies of the code that was dead, they were being.

118
00:16:49.290 --> 00:16:59.280
Mike Nolan: issued a violation or citation on and we were able to resolve pretty much all of them in a satisfactory matter.

119
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:10.260
Karen Tarapata: Well that's that's good Mike I know, our goal is always to get compliance it's not to punish people it's to get them to comply, and I think that's why the.

120
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:19.740
Karen Tarapata: The note sort of the notice to comply notice a violation is really the first step, and then, if someone is becomes.

121
00:17:20.850 --> 00:17:26.580
Karen Tarapata: A repeat offender than it goes to the level of an appearance chicken.

122
00:17:27.360 --> 00:17:38.850
Mike Nolan: Yes, and that's that's really what was was issued to certain people other ones were just making sure, everything was within code and everyone knew what the code was and was aware of.

123
00:17:39.420 --> 00:17:46.740
Mike Nolan: What codes, I was appearing to speak to them about, and you know as well as you know, letting them know that.

124
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:52.020
Mike Nolan: There is a code enforcer where they can get in touch with me how they can get in touch with me.

125
00:17:52.410 --> 00:18:02.430
Mike Nolan: And if there are any other future questions or anything else from both the people that were complaining, as well as the the complaints, as well as the people that were they were complaining about.

126
00:18:03.090 --> 00:18:11.880
Mike Nolan: That both sides knew how they can get back in touch with me so that these situations can be resolved without getting to that level right Thank you.

127
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:16.050
Karen Tarapata: Alright, any questions from my.

128
00:18:17.670 --> 00:18:18.030
know.

129
00:18:21.390 --> 00:18:23.130
Karen Tarapata: All right, Mike Thank you this is.

130
00:18:23.670 --> 00:18:24.210
Mike Nolan: very much.

131
00:18:25.380 --> 00:18:27.840
Laurie Dodge: Thanks Mike have a good night, you have a good night.

132
00:18:27.900 --> 00:18:28.170
tonight.

133
00:18:31.710 --> 00:18:33.120
Laurie Dodge: OK, the next thing.

134
00:18:33.150 --> 00:18:37.530
Karen Tarapata: on our agenda is the appointment of the village treasurer.

135
00:18:38.520 --> 00:18:49.380
Karen Tarapata: So, tonight we are really we are appointed enrich Fortunato the village treasure and chill our annual meeting and then we'll put them back in the list with everybody.

136
00:18:50.220 --> 00:19:05.220
Karen Tarapata: All the other annual appointments, so I would ask that somebody make you rich resigned and then I convinced him to become village treasure again I see ken's looking very confused.

137
00:19:06.360 --> 00:19:19.410
Karen Tarapata: It was it was designed because of a particular questions from ny calm and then it became simpler to deal with because we want to continue to work with rich because his work is so excellent.

138
00:19:20.460 --> 00:19:33.780
Karen Tarapata: That it made more sense to deal with the issue and having reappointed his village treasure then to appoint a one of our employees was not an accountant as village treasure.

139
00:19:34.410 --> 00:19:47.970
Karen Tarapata: So we are reappointing given me a few ratify this we are reappointing rich Fortunato the village treasure and then until the annual meeting in April with someone.

140
00:19:49.980 --> 00:19:57.960
Michael Esmay: I was just going to make the motion that we reappoint rich as our village treasure gladly.

141
00:19:59.460 --> 00:20:00.450
Karen Tarapata: Can I get a second.

142
00:20:00.750 --> 00:20:02.850
Kennon Rothchild: yeah this can I second it Bible.

143
00:20:03.420 --> 00:20:04.860
Laurie Dodge: it's fine doesn't matter.

144
00:20:07.500 --> 00:20:09.240
Karen Tarapata: All right, all in favor say Aye.

145
00:20:09.660 --> 00:20:09.870
Like.

146
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:11.400
Kennon Rothchild: Can I.

147
00:20:12.120 --> 00:20:12.900
Laurie Dodge: lori I.

148
00:20:13.890 --> 00:20:22.050
Karen Tarapata: Karen I right so moved and having done that I would like to ask rich to give us the treasurer's report.

149
00:20:23.430 --> 00:20:25.740
Richard Fortunato: Thank you, everybody, and thank you for the.

150
00:20:26.130 --> 00:20:45.480
Richard Fortunato: Appointment heather could you take Jill off of restrictions, because she is going to when i'm done over the bill and i'm hoping everybody took a look at and maybe ask some questions or or I think it looks good to me so, first I want to talk about the financial statements.

151
00:20:47.220 --> 00:20:55.710
Richard Fortunato: made I think they look great everything takes and ties, I mean if everybody wants to take a look at the last page of the financials and the debt, the bonds and bands.

152
00:20:56.370 --> 00:21:13.950
Richard Fortunato: In the totals, we could see exactly a half years with the savings and in in our refinance a half year looks like it's just around math about 14,000 so the full, you will be about 25 28,000 a year on the refinance you can tell now by the numbers because everything's in there.

153
00:21:16.560 --> 00:21:17.220
Richard Fortunato: They were fine.

154
00:21:17.280 --> 00:21:22.200
Richard Fortunato: To me, so if anybody has any questions throughout the month, you know where to find me for myself.

155
00:21:24.570 --> 00:21:34.950
Richard Fortunato: And Jill has been feverish Lee working with with edmonds on this new billing program because we're trying to get away from file maker.

156
00:21:35.700 --> 00:21:50.190
Richard Fortunato: And we're trying to produce a bill that's I guess looks a little nicer and a little easier to read and we're trying to get away from building resonance five different times, instead of just building them once but all the information.

157
00:21:52.350 --> 00:21:56.610
Richard Fortunato: by different times, meaning if you don't pay me send you another bill and another bill and another girl.

158
00:21:57.690 --> 00:22:03.720
Richard Fortunato: The most resonance do paying the first month but it's kind of cumbersome and it's it's it's a lot of work.

159
00:22:04.470 --> 00:22:16.650
Richard Fortunato: So I attached the back in front of the bill that we've been working on for everybody to take a look at and Jill just wants to go over some of the things that are on there, and we can take any questions Julia with me.

160
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:20.580
Jillana Sinnott: Yes, i'm here I don't know i'm just uh can you hear me.

161
00:22:21.330 --> 00:22:22.080
Richard Fortunato: We can hear you.

162
00:22:22.290 --> 00:22:33.180
Jillana Sinnott: Okay um so most of the bill is based off of probably looks a lot, like the nyack bill we've tried to base it off of that to start have a starting point.

163
00:22:34.020 --> 00:22:42.360
Jillana Sinnott: The top part is very you haven't in front of us soon, so the top part is very simple gives you are ours, the phone number, where you can go to pay.

164
00:22:43.260 --> 00:22:52.200
Jillana Sinnott: The bank code is blank right now we need to enter all the bank codes for the mortgages so that's not on there, yet when you get to the Center section, where it says exemption.

165
00:22:52.920 --> 00:23:02.430
Jillana Sinnott: That will have a veterans low income and the firefighter Ms exemptions if you're eligible for it it'll list there and what the value is of it.

166
00:23:03.630 --> 00:23:10.590
Jillana Sinnott: In the Center section there that big empty spot what's going to be there is the penalty schedule that you see down below.

167
00:23:11.130 --> 00:23:19.350
Jillana Sinnott: So this way when they mail the check Stub check in with the Stub you'll also get to keep it on the bill of what the penalty schedule was.

168
00:23:19.830 --> 00:23:29.520
Jillana Sinnott: So, by doing this and putting the penalty scheduled here and giving you the dates when you have to pay it's going to be a huge saving to the village, because I did a quick.

169
00:23:30.150 --> 00:23:39.960
Jillana Sinnott: thing it's we send out about 111 pest to notices So if you take that into effective the postage stamping it printing it envelopes.

170
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:48.450
Jillana Sinnott: it's going to be a big thing, and you know, every time every month, we would have to scramble to get everything entered in time, so now it will be.

171
00:23:48.870 --> 00:23:55.320
Jillana Sinnott: You know, I was actually thinking, maybe on here, I might put something saying that this, you will only receive this bill once.

172
00:23:55.920 --> 00:24:06.750
Jillana Sinnott: So people understand that, because some people are used to getting a reminder every month about it so we're trying to get away from that to stop so that's mostly the front of the bill, we tried to make it simple.

173
00:24:07.770 --> 00:24:09.960
Jillana Sinnott: the back of the bill we simplified a little.

174
00:24:11.370 --> 00:24:29.130
Jillana Sinnott: Just make things clear took out and nothing really we just made a little bit clear we did add under reminders to not use your bank's bill pay service and we had an issue with that last year, because people do bill pay we don't get a check Stub with it, I mean a.

175
00:24:29.820 --> 00:24:39.540
Jillana Sinnott: You know stuff from your bill and the Bank will tell you what day it's going to arrive well this girl's check actually to the state has never arrived.

176
00:24:40.020 --> 00:24:54.360
Jillana Sinnott: And she was trying to say, well, my bank said it would arrive on this day, so it wouldn't be late so we're not going to accept bill pay I guess we'll take that you know we're saying we're not going to get one I guess we'll take it on a case by case basis.

177
00:24:55.440 --> 00:25:02.790
Jillana Sinnott: Also down at the bottom there the village will no longer be stamping bills received your return check is going to be received.

178
00:25:03.120 --> 00:25:11.460
Jillana Sinnott: If you need to print something out in this new program will kind of be a little bit like barks town not as detailed but you'll be able to go on to our website.

179
00:25:12.030 --> 00:25:27.240
Jillana Sinnott: and put in your address your tax ID number and it'll say paid on it and how it was paid so that will also stop us from 773 times 50 cents right there's $500 just in postage.

180
00:25:27.750 --> 00:25:37.410
Jillana Sinnott: of sending receipts back to everyone and having a stamp them, and you know it's very time consuming so um I think that's about it anyone has any questions.

181
00:25:38.490 --> 00:25:42.240
Karen Tarapata: Oh, it looks like chase has has his hand up with a question.

182
00:25:45.390 --> 00:25:47.250
Karen Tarapata: chase chase.

183
00:25:48.210 --> 00:25:57.060
Richard Fortunato: Be you could let Jason but before we do chase I just want to add a couple more things first early worth savings i'm not so sure what we're going to do with the printing yet.

184
00:25:57.540 --> 00:26:08.340
Richard Fortunato: We may actually print these on wrong, we may find you may have to buy the paper with a perforation but that's going to save us all the printing costs harriman or harrington where those guys are.

185
00:26:10.350 --> 00:26:20.760
Richard Fortunato: What else from my notes, here we used we, this is a great bill, because we were able to use many of the town and many of the village, I mean it looks like nyack because.

186
00:26:21.660 --> 00:26:33.180
Richard Fortunato: nyack was in the program already so they were our story, but we went over a lot of the different bills and the other villages and towns to come up with what you see in front of you, so this is a combination of many other bills.

187
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:38.370
Jillana Sinnott: We actually out of other bills.

188
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:49.260
Jillana Sinnott: To put it on here, so the guy and we don't do this, we have to call them so it's been a long process, calling Evans, every time we had to have a change, and I have to get them on the server to make the changes so.

189
00:26:49.770 --> 00:26:50.340
Richard Fortunato: Yes, they.

190
00:26:51.360 --> 00:27:07.530
Richard Fortunato: Are they have to prepare the bill we can't just go in and Edit it so it's very time consuming and that's why I just you know, want to make sure everybody likes it and you know feel free to call us and then next week, if you, you know, have any questions chase any questions.

191
00:27:07.950 --> 00:27:16.770
Chase Altneu: Yes, I do Richard Thank you know sorry for being so naive, you know it's all this, my wife and I, you know we bought the House here and large still you know.

192
00:27:17.190 --> 00:27:32.460
Chase Altneu: Almost a year ago and I just want to kind of understand exactly what the bill is um because last year, I think we received some sort of an assessment on taxes and it went right into our mortgage so is this some sort of a separate bill, can you kind of explain what what it is.

193
00:27:32.910 --> 00:27:39.180
Richard Fortunato: If you are mortgages paying the taxes we send the bill directly to the mortgage company.

194
00:27:39.990 --> 00:27:48.840
Richard Fortunato: If you're a mortgage is not paying the taxes we send it directly to the residence, so if you're telling me that you're wells fargo whoever it is paid your mortgage.

195
00:27:49.350 --> 00:28:02.250
Richard Fortunato: or pays the taxes, through your escrow, then this is not, I mean you, you could go online you get the receipt once they pay it but it'll be sent directly to wells fargo or Bank of America and they pass.

196
00:28:02.820 --> 00:28:03.180
Chase Altneu: On your.

197
00:28:03.540 --> 00:28:10.470
Chase Altneu: hometown so very good so it's built so it's built into because we have the election, where we pay the taxes for the for the town of up or nine.

198
00:28:11.490 --> 00:28:14.280
Chase Altneu: Or, more so just start to understand exactly.

199
00:28:14.430 --> 00:28:17.280
Chase Altneu: Now you know I guess facilitated just you know.

200
00:28:17.310 --> 00:28:24.990
Richard Fortunato: Just now i'm not sure which piece of property, you have, or if your mortgage is paying the taxes, but if they are yes, it will go directly to mortgage.

201
00:28:25.800 --> 00:28:28.110
Chase Altneu: understood okay so we'll get a bill and.

202
00:28:28.140 --> 00:28:32.760
Richard Fortunato: we'll get we'll get a bell and you won't get the bell your mortgage company will get the bill directly.

203
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:40.110
Jillana Sinnott: And if you do get the bill in your your taxes or escrow, then you should forward that bill to your.

204
00:28:41.970 --> 00:28:44.580
Jillana Sinnott: bank and let them know that you know.

205
00:28:44.670 --> 00:28:51.210
Chase Altneu: Do we get like a description of what it's being what you know why we're being assessed and what what it's for or.

206
00:28:52.140 --> 00:28:58.200
Richard Fortunato: Where you're assessing every year, so you know we basically send you a bill, based on the budget.

207
00:28:58.470 --> 00:29:07.800
Richard Fortunato: Which you're more than happy to show up at the budget hearings check the website, the village website so during the budget hearings, the budget comes up with and i'm using round numbers.

208
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:16.350
Richard Fortunato: $2 million in real estate taxes divided the 770 residents, based on their assessed value so it's pretty simple math.

209
00:29:17.700 --> 00:29:24.990
Chase Altneu: We have a way of seeing what why why we're being assessed, where the where the optimization comes in, you know I work in a bank, so I just you know again.

210
00:29:26.040 --> 00:29:32.370
Chase Altneu: You know my clients get a bill I explained to them where it's going to why they're being assessed X amount of dollars, every time.

211
00:29:33.570 --> 00:29:40.590
Richard Fortunato: yeah well every year the village puts out a budget you're more than welcome to the budget hearings that's why I said, you know check the website.

212
00:29:40.800 --> 00:29:41.220
Chase Altneu: would be great.

213
00:29:41.460 --> 00:29:51.540
Richard Fortunato: Absolutely and it's just simple it's simple you know simple math right if the village board creates a budget with $2 million in tax revenue on it.

214
00:29:52.110 --> 00:29:59.400
Richard Fortunato: We just divide by the 770 residents not equally, obviously, but you know, based on their assessed values of their homes.

215
00:29:59.940 --> 00:30:10.410
Richard Fortunato: And and it's on the bill actually if you go and it'll it'll show your assessed value it'll show what your rate was, and it will show how much your escrow or your your bank paid.

216
00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:17.040
Chase Altneu: yeah that that's where I think the most important thing is just like any other taxpayer, they want to know where their money is going to I think it's a fair question and.

217
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:20.520
Richard Fortunato: I really do but that's the process.

218
00:30:20.610 --> 00:30:22.200
Richard Fortunato: Right process.

219
00:30:24.360 --> 00:30:29.460
Chase Altneu: yeah forget about the process, want to see where the money's going to I think as a resident I think that's a pretty fair.

220
00:30:29.580 --> 00:30:34.290
Richard Fortunato: I think the most important part of your question was what Jill actually said, if you get the bill.

221
00:30:35.130 --> 00:30:51.630
Richard Fortunato: forwarded to your and wherever I mean whoever anyone else is listening, there you know if you get the bill and error and your mortgage company does pay the taxes send it to your mortgage company, and let us know that we need next year the following year to send it directly to your mortgage.

222
00:30:52.530 --> 00:30:56.790
Chase Altneu: understood Okay, because I believe we got the notice what when we first moved in so.

223
00:30:56.820 --> 00:31:02.340
Richard Fortunato: it's all keep me on the reason, and the only reason we're telling you that is because you're a new resident right because the banks may have.

224
00:31:02.850 --> 00:31:12.540
Richard Fortunato: You know, we still may be thinking with the old person who lived in your House that it's going to the House and not the Bank and may have not, you know crossed over yet you just.

225
00:31:13.110 --> 00:31:17.760
Chase Altneu: said right now, they made sure that it was on our taxes, I saw the increase so.

226
00:31:19.620 --> 00:31:20.340
Richard Fortunato: Okay, so.

227
00:31:21.390 --> 00:31:26.730
Richard Fortunato: Just you know, be careful because you're in transition sort of, and I want to make sure I want to make sure the bill gets paid.

228
00:31:27.510 --> 00:31:35.970
Chase Altneu: Oh yeah no absolutely and listen, we want to fulfill our obligations as well, but you know, again we just want to make sure how I want to have full transparency where the money's going to everything else, like.

229
00:31:36.360 --> 00:31:40.530
Chase Altneu: we're in full cooperation, so I just want to make sure you know so we're all you know.

230
00:31:41.460 --> 00:31:41.790
Everything.

231
00:31:43.320 --> 00:31:49.140
Kennon Rothchild: that's all yeah so rich right, I do have a question of it actually has been brought up I chase which is.

232
00:31:50.460 --> 00:32:01.230
Kennon Rothchild: I do have a mortgage I do have an escrow the money you know, on my village taxes, my school taxes, my town and country county taxes are paid by the Bank.

233
00:32:01.770 --> 00:32:12.300
Kennon Rothchild: Yet I do receive a receipt showing it being paid from the village and the past, as well as the, so there are entities that was that ending that we will no longer.

234
00:32:12.570 --> 00:32:20.820
Kennon Rothchild: You will, the only way we can see receipt of you know from the Bank, you know the bank pays but still I have in my records every year.

235
00:32:21.420 --> 00:32:33.120
Kennon Rothchild: The receipt that the Bank, you know I get the bill and it says that the Bank will be paying this and it shows me it's just a secondary recipient of it, you for that system is ending under this.

236
00:32:33.420 --> 00:32:38.910
Richard Fortunato: process, like most of the other villages and towns, yes, if you want.

237
00:32:40.170 --> 00:32:48.150

252
00:34:04.260 --> 00:34:15.210

253

All right.

265
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:41.490
Karen Tarapata: i'm right here we go now, I want to be, we have on our agenda tonight.

266
00:35:42.810 --> 00:36:09.990
Karen Tarapata: A continuation of the public hearing for the proposed local law 11 of 2021 our zoning code update, but before we do that, I would like to introduce several land use local laws that support our zoning code, update and I would like to turn this over to know well, to introduce these laws.

267
00:36:11.130 --> 00:36:21.300
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: Or, thank you very much okay so um, as you know, we've been considering the zoning law will continue that public hearing later in this meeting.

268
00:36:21.720 --> 00:36:29.640
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: But we have three laws that are being introduced tonight that go along with the zoning law that make up a part of the broader land use laws of privilege.

269
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:39.540
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: But you have so you've received a bound volume earlier this month that includes a revised version of the zoning law a proposed subdivision law.

270
00:36:39.990 --> 00:36:49.710
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: A proposed law continuing and setting the procedural requirements for the villages planning board and a stormwater management and erosion control flock.

271
00:36:50.220 --> 00:36:56.400
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: The bound volume that you receive also included the environmental assessment form for all those laws.

272
00:36:56.670 --> 00:37:02.910
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: And rockland county plantings comments on the zoning well we'll get to the environmental assessment form later on when we talk about the zoning law.

273
00:37:03.570 --> 00:37:12.300
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: For any of the members of the public who are listening all of those documents that I just listed are available on the villages website under the zoning code update tab.

274
00:37:14.610 --> 00:37:19.920
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: So i'd like to give you just a bit of background on each of the laws kind of explain briefly.

275
00:37:20.160 --> 00:37:28.560
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: How they fit into the land, you scheme and the village, I know you've received a lot of material, so a lot of this is going to be repetitive, but just to give you a high level overview.

276
00:37:28.950 --> 00:37:33.090
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: So the first law that I want to talk about is the proposed subdivision law.

277
00:37:33.540 --> 00:37:39.960
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: And this law will basically provide the standards and procedures for the planning board to apply.

278
00:37:40.170 --> 00:37:49.830
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: When it receives applications to change lot line so either to take a lot and divided into into several lots or to merge lots together or change lot lines.

279
00:37:50.130 --> 00:38:02.610
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: This law provides the procedural mechanism for that to occur, the substance of the of the lots how big they are the setbacks, etc, that all comes from the zoning law, but the subdivision level provide those procedural mechanisms.

280
00:38:03.030 --> 00:38:14.100
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: The subdivision law also has road standards for subdivisions that require new roads, we have existing road standards and they have basically been kind of imported into this new subdivision.

281
00:38:15.330 --> 00:38:24.540
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: In your bound volume, you have a comparison you have the to the existing roadway standards and the proposed so that you can see them if you're interested in taking a look at those.

282
00:38:25.140 --> 00:38:35.850
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: The second law is a law reestablishing the planning board setting forth its procedural aspects, you know how many Members, it has a quorum to vote.

283
00:38:36.150 --> 00:38:44.160
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: The rights and responsibilities of the chairman alternative members, it also provides kind of a list of the planning boards authority and the sources of that law.

284
00:38:44.460 --> 00:38:51.750
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: We have similar provisions establishing the zoning Board of appeals in the zoning law and the architectural review board in the architectural review.

285
00:38:52.770 --> 00:39:04.920
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: And the last law is the stormwater management and erosion control law, and we have currently a stormwater management and erosion control law, it is incorporated into the existing current zoning law.

286
00:39:05.340 --> 00:39:16.440
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: And all this law really does is it breaks that out of the zoning law and adapts it as a separate local law and that's really just for ease of use, you know, so you have to go through the whole zoning law, just to find the.

287
00:39:17.100 --> 00:39:24.750
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: stormwater management regulations and also for ease of modification in the future so that you don't have to open up you know one big law to mind either.

288
00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:40.950
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: There are some minor modifications, most of them are you know, adding some definitions updating references to DC permits have nothing really substantive that changes what is in the existing stormwater management right regulations.

289
00:39:41.430 --> 00:39:54.720
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: So those are the three additional laws that are going to be reviewed, alongside with the zoning law will review them together for secret and we can hopefully schedule a public hearing on them for February.

290
00:39:57.540 --> 00:40:14.670
Karen Tarapata: All right, thank you all for the summary so next is a bit procedural i'd like to formally introduce the proposed subdivision lies Noel just described and when asked for emotion, to set the public hearing for that law to the board meeting of February 10.

291
00:40:18.390 --> 00:40:19.500

00:47:16.560 --> 00:47:28.080
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: It was the last exhibit so we've reviewed we've revised the law, the zoning committee has revised the law in response to those comments and the comments that we received from the public.

372
00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:32.490
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: And we have re referred the law back to rockland county planning.

373
00:47:32.820 --> 00:47:43.140
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: And in rockland county plantings initial referral they asked us to refer to several other agencies so we've sent out the revised law in that form, to those other agencies as well.

374
00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:51.930
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: You have the revised version of the law in your bound volume, it is posted on the website and, additionally, a red line of the.

375
00:47:52.410 --> 00:47:57.270
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: Of the revised version of the law and the original version presented to the board of trustees is also.

376
00:47:58.050 --> 00:48:04.200
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: On the villages website so we're waiting to hear back on on the referral, and all that information is posted.

377
00:48:04.500 --> 00:48:11.730
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: So tonight what i'd like to do is devote a significant portion of the hearing to reviewing the full environmental assessment form.

378
00:48:11.970 --> 00:48:19.140
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: For the proposed zoning law and the proposed land use laws that were just introduced will review them all in one action under secret.

379
00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:26.250
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: Since we're taking considering them all, you know concurrently and they all kind of have a common purpose um.

380
00:48:26.910 --> 00:48:39.660
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: And so to do that I wanted to direct your attention to exhibit five and the bound volume, are you received that's the full environmental assessment form for the adoption of the proposed laws.

381
00:48:40.290 --> 00:48:54.120
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: Has a part, part one that's completed a draft of parts two and three, which we'll talk about tonight that's the obligation of you, your board as lead agency to complete and then it has you know some supporting exhibits us to complete.

382
00:48:58.860 --> 00:49:06.660
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: Type one action your board is the lead agency under secret by default, since you are the only agency with authority to act to adopt the laws.

383
00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:17.520
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: So the review of this action follows closely behind the adoption of the comprehensive plan and the adoption of the negative declaration ending the secret review of the comprehensive plan.

384
00:49:17.970 --> 00:49:24.300
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: The EFF provides a detailed analysis of how the proposed zoning law implements the comprehensive plan.

385
00:49:25.350 --> 00:49:32.400
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: A stated in the comprehensive plan, the core character of the villages as a small town walkable community of mostly single family residences.

386
00:49:32.760 --> 00:49:38.940
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: Who zoning provides housing options a variety of price points for many socio economic levels.

387
00:49:39.420 --> 00:49:46.800
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: So the overarching goal of the comprehensive plan was to continue that pattern of development within the village.

388
00:49:47.040 --> 00:49:53.460
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: So I start there because that's really the the essence of where we're starting the environmental analysis.

389
00:49:53.760 --> 00:50:07.380
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: I don't necessarily want to take all the time to go point by point, through the ETF, because you do have it it's available on the website and we can take some time to discuss it at the end if there are areas that you want to you know dive into more fully.

390
00:50:07.830 --> 00:50:17.940
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: But I just wanted to start with that general goal and explain how the proposed zoning was try to achieve that goal in a manner that is hopefully you know.

391
00:50:18.390 --> 00:50:27.390
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: more sensitive to environmental resources to forward the goal of the comprehensive plan for a sustainable Community so.

392
00:50:28.170 --> 00:50:34.950
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: The laws that are the subject of the action implement the goals of continuing the patterns of development in the village in a sustainable way.

393
00:50:35.250 --> 00:50:45.150
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: By first fundamentally retaining the patterns of development, such that land that is now zone for residential purposes, which is the overwhelming majority of land in the village.

394
00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:54.690
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: will continue to be zoned for residential purposes generally at the density, that is permitted now and so zoning terms i'm talking about density i'm talking about minimum lot size.

395
00:50:55.320 --> 00:51:07.320
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: And you can see included as an exhibit to the yeah for a copy of the current zoning map and the proposed zoning map, so you can see the districts and how there is a lot of alignment between the existing districts and proposed.

396
00:51:08.010 --> 00:51:19.440
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: we're also the proposed zoning law continues their commercial use in the historically commercial areas of the village such a long nine w in the village Center district, and in the marine business district.

397
00:51:22.860 --> 00:51:33.720
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: Like the existing version of the law that current the proposed version of the zoning law continues to require site plan review, for you know all new construction.

398
00:51:35.010 --> 00:51:49.200
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: Almost all significant additions and alterations and expands the planning boards authority to review site plans to significant land disturbances, even if the even if proposed building construction or structures are not proposed.

399
00:51:50.430 --> 00:51:56.970
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: This additional level of review of land disturbances provides a procedural mechanism within the law.

400
00:51:57.210 --> 00:52:10.410
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: To evaluate project specific impacts and mitigate them in the context of site plan approval and the related seeker review so that's something that we have now and we will continue and actually will make more stringent to allow for more projects specific review.

401
00:52:11.190 --> 00:52:24.180
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: And we continue to allow on residential residential zoning districts and maybe more intense commercial and industrial uses in the commercial districts by special use permit only we're going to continue to.

402
00:52:24.660 --> 00:52:32.970
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: have specific criteria for special use permits and to have them require renewal on a regular basis, as proposed, every five years.

403
00:52:34.470 --> 00:52:44.850
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: Implementing one of the specific goals of the comprehensive plan, the proposal and law as a special use permit for accessory apartments and owner occupied single family residences.

404
00:52:45.240 --> 00:52:48.600
Michael Esmay: To provide an opportunity for more economically diverse housing.

405
00:52:48.960 --> 00:52:53.340
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: In a manner that's respectful of the single family character of the majority of the village.

406
00:52:53.790 --> 00:53:04.680
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: Its aim is to make use of underutilized residential space, by allowing underutilized structures to be up to be occupied with an accessory apartment there are limited in size.

407
00:53:04.920 --> 00:53:13.140
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: There are configuration requirements to make sure they're consistent with a single family character of the village, and we are adding.

408
00:53:14.220 --> 00:53:20.190
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: Some provisions that are kind of more protective of the physical environment than our current zoning law.

409
00:53:20.460 --> 00:53:31.890
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: Most notably, we are increasing protections for steep slopes, there are several lots in the village that that are encumbered by steep slopes we're expanding the protection for steep slopes in the law also expanding.

410
00:53:32.430 --> 00:53:44.880
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: protections for floodplains and limiting development in those areas and moving to a calculation of lot area based on net lot area that eliminates from that calculation, some of the sensitive environmental features.

411
00:53:46.830 --> 00:54:00.300
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: We are continuing the villages stormwater management regulations that are in a manner substantially consistent with our current stormwater management regulations so that the village engineer will review.

412
00:54:01.530 --> 00:54:11.940
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: All significant land disturbances and so Based on the above that we were just talking about and analyzed more fully in the E, F which which we can certainly talk about.

413
00:54:12.300 --> 00:54:20.010
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: You know, submit to you that, because the laws that comprises action are very specific implementation of the comprehensive plan.

414
00:54:20.490 --> 00:54:28.620
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: They continue the existing patterns of population and development, there are several divisions that are more protective of the physical environment.

415
00:54:29.490 --> 00:54:37.770
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: That there is no potential for any significant environmental impacts from the adoption of the proposed Sony well and the related land geez was.

416
00:54:37.950 --> 00:54:48.210
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: That would enable your board to considered the adoption of the negative declaration of environmental significance to end the secret process so that is my sort of high level.

417
00:54:50.100 --> 00:55:01.410
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: Introduction of the ETF, I wanted to note that on the call tonight is the village engineer Dennis lesson and planning board chairman and zoning committee Member bill pfaff so.

418

420
00:55:25.650 --> 00:55:30.870

Karen Tarapata: All right, I would say that heather you can begin to read the public hearing notice before one o'clock on the Dutch.

461
00:58:33.750 --> 00:58:35.280
Village Clerk: People read slowly.

462
00:58:37.440 --> 00:58:51.120
Village Clerk: Please take notice that the board of trustees of the village of upper nyack will hold a public hearing on Thursday January 20 2022 at 8pm as a hybrid meeting at the old stone meeting house 347 North broadway.

463
00:58:51.600 --> 00:58:58.800
Village Clerk: upper nyack New York or as soon practical thereafter to consider the adoption of proposed local law number one of 2020 to.

464
00:58:59.130 --> 00:59:05.370
Village Clerk: A local law authorizing this certain public servants of the village of upper nyack to issue appearance tickets.

465
00:59:06.030 --> 00:59:10.800
Village Clerk: members of the public may attend the meeting in person or online via zoom video conference.

466
00:59:11.280 --> 00:59:18.840
Village Clerk: Participants attending in person and online will have the ability to view the meeting live and ask questions or make comments.

467
00:59:19.110 --> 00:59:24.000
Village Clerk: Please visit the villages website for the meeting link and registration information to access the meeting online.

468
00:59:24.570 --> 00:59:31.620
Village Clerk: A copy of the proposed law and meeting agenda will be posted on the villages website at upper nyack dash and y.us.

469
00:59:32.040 --> 00:59:45.120
Village Clerk: comments and questions will also be provided via email before the meeting to heather condello village clerk at village clerk at upper nyack dash ny.us at January 7 2022 other candela village clerk.

470
00:59:47.100 --> 00:59:57.930
Karen Tarapata: Right, so the background, this law, this is a proposed local law authorizing the villages code enforcement officer and other authorized persons to issue appearance tickets.

471
00:59:58.620 --> 01:00:06.960
Karen Tarapata: And appearance ticket is generally a written notice issued by an authorized person directing the recipient to appear in Clarks town justice court.

472
01:00:07.410 --> 01:00:15.240
Karen Tarapata: At a designated future time in connection with his alleged Commission of a violation of the village local law ordinance.

473
01:00:16.020 --> 01:00:26.130
Karen Tarapata: Giving this authority to the village enforcement personnel allows for more streamlined process of beginning of formal enforcement proceeding and it's an important step.

474
01:00:27.450 --> 01:00:38.910
Karen Tarapata: That are local laws and ordinances are effectively enforced currently if we want to issue an appearance ticket, we have to go through the clerk's town justice court clerk.

475
01:00:39.330 --> 01:00:51.810
Karen Tarapata: And it's a cumbersome process, and this will allow our enforcement personnel to take that next step when someone really is a repeat offender and issue and appearance ticket.

476
01:00:52.950 --> 01:01:00.240
Karen Tarapata: it's also will authorize this so This allows us to better enforce our own laws, more effective.

477
01:01:01.260 --> 01:01:06.300
Karen Tarapata: I would like to make someone to make a motion to open the public hearing on this matter.

478
01:01:08.610 --> 01:01:10.770
Laurie Dodge: i'll make a motion that we open the public hearing.

479
01:01:12.390 --> 01:01:13.860
Kennon Rothchild: And i'll second.

496
01:02:59.640 --> 01:03:11.850
Chase Altneu: lighting is a little antique here um so yeah so, for example, if we want to amend one of our permits that we originally put language in um that really hasn't worked.

497
01:03:12.630 --> 01:03:21.990
Chase Altneu: On for a number of reasons, and I won't get into it on the call, but I don't want to and me and my wife don't want to go against the town code.

498
01:03:22.770 --> 01:03:32.700
Chase Altneu: By originally what we said so we want to try to like work with the town and try to you know amend our language so it's not.

499
01:03:33.180 --> 01:03:47.580
Chase Altneu: As if we're trying to go to go against the code enforcement, so if we want to make an amendment to an already existing permit that we already have you know what's the best method that we should go upon doing that i'm.

500
01:03:48.240 --> 01:03:57.570
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: Sure, so that's a that's a permit just for those who don't know that is a permit issued by the zoning Board of appeals under the villages general ordinance.

501
01:03:57.960 --> 01:04:04.050
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: and generally the process to amend the permit is the same as the process to obtain the permit in the first instance.

502
01:04:04.140 --> 01:04:11.580
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: So, in the first instance, you made an application, you described what you wanted to get you had a hearing before the zoning board they made a decision adapted a resolution.

503
01:04:11.880 --> 01:04:22.590
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: And then you were able to get your permit, if you want to amend that permit you follow the same course would make an application to the zoning board this time would be in the nature of amending the permit and you would state the.

504
01:04:22.920 --> 01:04:33.270
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: portion that you want to amend and the reason why you want to amend it, it would go to the zoning board for a public hearing in the same manner as the original issuance of the permit and then they would make a decision by resolution.

505
01:04:35.910 --> 01:04:37.770
Chase Altneu: can argue with that answer Noel well so.

506
01:04:41.130 --> 01:04:45.030
Kennon Rothchild: I have a question about that Noel if if he's been issued a permit.

507
01:04:46.410 --> 01:04:50.100
Kennon Rothchild: and subsequently we've changed the law.

508
01:04:51.210 --> 01:04:55.680
Kennon Rothchild: Is that is are they grandfathered in or would they you know how does that work.

509
01:04:56.010 --> 01:05:04.500
Noelle C. Wolfson, Esq.: Sure, so that would be on a case by case basis, but this is actually a permit that's issued under the general ordinance and it's not proposed to be changed as a part of the zoning law amendment.

510
01:05:08.430 --> 01:05:17.310
Chase Altneu: yeah and that's totally fair, you know, but the law that you know that we're referring to which i've looked it up, which is a livestock wall which is from 1973.

511
01:05:18.360 --> 01:05:29.820
Chase Altneu: um that's actually in the handbook of the you know the town of upper nyack so you know again like you know we're situated in it place in Upper NIH credit question Mary del.

512
01:05:31.410 --> 01:05:43.020
Chase Altneu: We have chickens and that's really what it's in in pretending to, and you know our circumstances have changed, you know we've developed a collaboration with the sisters across the street so.

513
01:05:43.440 --> 01:05:51.810
Chase Altneu: You know we're trying to make it a little more open so that's kind of our reason for putting in an amendment, you know because again like we're still learning, you know.

514
01:05:52.800 --> 01:05:57.780
Chase Altneu: Raising chickens and doing everything else so like what we originally planned, has not worked.

515
01:05:58.290 --> 01:06:10.380
Chase Altneu: So, again we're willing to go in front of the Board and try to see if we can make an amendment to see if our changes will align with the interest of everybody else so that's kind of where our heads at right now so.

516
01:06:11.940 --> 01:06:21.510
Chase Altneu: You know, but that's that's good to know so we'll just do the regular process and we'll put in our changes and make sure that you know everyone's well informed of what we're trying to try to accomplish.

517
01:06:24.030 --> 01:06:26.580
Karen Tarapata: Thank you, Sir, any other discussion.

518
01:06:29.370 --> 01:06:35.760
Kennon Rothchild: I will just again, as usual, go on record of favoring anybody who's raising chickens ability, but since we did.

519
01:06:37.230 --> 01:06:39.480
Kennon Rothchild: Right Mike we had great chickens in our yard, for what.

520
01:06:39.960 --> 01:06:40.890
Michael Esmay: Great eggs.

521
01:06:41.760 --> 01:06:42.360
Exactly.

522
01:06:43.410 --> 01:06:44.730
Chase Altneu: Ours ours are blue.

523
01:06:46.200 --> 01:06:51.750
Kennon Rothchild: And we had blue eggs, we had brown eggs, we even had white eggs from my Rhode island red So there we go.

524
01:06:51.990 --> 01:06:53.010
Chase Altneu: share the wealth time.

525
01:06:53.730 --> 01:07:01.680
Kennon Rothchild: Whether we have no more chicken state they died out and we chose not to be chicken farmers any longer, but that's you know choice yeah.

526
01:07:01.770 --> 01:07:04.080
Chase Altneu: it's a dirty job it's a lot of poop.

527
01:07:07.470 --> 01:07:11.460
Karen Tarapata: All right, any other comments and, if not i'd ask somebody to make a motion to.

528
01:07:11.460 --> 01:07:24.570
Kennon Rothchild: Close the public and i'm sorry just a point of levity it when we're talking about tix chickens are great for removing ticks from one's yard, so perhaps we should encourage more people to have chickens, so we can get rid of the population number nine.

529
01:07:27.240 --> 01:07:27.840
Michael Esmay: well.

530
01:07:29.970 --> 01:07:31.470

Michael Esmay: Oh yeah.

581
01:11:31.800 --> 01:11:46.740
Karen Tarapata: chance to take a look at this, it was something that was brought to my attention by our dp w and both of these items I think would really improve our efficiency, one is a four time asphalt trailer.

582
01:11:47.670 --> 01:12:05.760
Karen Tarapata: That comes with both the propane torch and if he did deck it's twice as large as the one we have and we can serve us and sound when we have because it's an excellent condition the other item, I would like authorization to fit on is a Ford F 350 pickup.

583
01:12:06.780 --> 01:12:13.710
Karen Tarapata: That has a V plow on it and a toolbox 58,000 miles on it.

584
01:12:14.910 --> 01:12:24.420
Karen Tarapata: And i'm proposing to bid for each one of them to go $22,000 for the asphalt trailer and 23 for the truck.

585
01:12:25.890 --> 01:12:27.090
Karen Tarapata: open for discussion.

586
01:12:28.260 --> 01:12:29.970
Michael Esmay: Was from South diet right.

587
01:12:33.840 --> 01:12:50.970
Karen Tarapata: it's from South night, and we know their maintenance records, I have the bill a copy of the original bill of sale for the asphalt trailers, so I was able to do some research on it and to know that that is a very good price.

588
01:12:52.050 --> 01:12:53.250
Karen Tarapata: There you know there.

589
01:12:54.630 --> 01:13:12.000
Karen Tarapata: would be getting it for about two thirds of its new cost at government contract and it's only been used for five times the trucks had some heavier duty, of course, but it is a diesel and 58,000 on a piece of land and is really nothing and the trucks very well maintained.

590
01:13:13.080 --> 01:13:13.680
Laurie Dodge: And also.

591
01:13:14.130 --> 01:13:15.960
Laurie Dodge: trucks are in high demand.

592
01:13:16.830 --> 01:13:18.360
Karen Tarapata: They are you.

593
01:13:20.130 --> 01:13:22.530
Michael Esmay: Know i've seen that took the trucks in good shape.

594
01:13:24.570 --> 01:13:25.200
Karen Tarapata: So.

595
01:13:26.490 --> 01:13:33.630
Karen Tarapata: i'm asking for a resolution of the bar and allowing me to enter those bits and we'll see if we prevail.

596
01:13:35.430 --> 01:13:38.100
Michael Esmay: Okay, make that motion Mike.

597
01:13:40.500 --> 01:13:41.370

605
01:14:03.690 --> 01:14:11.340
Laurie Dodge: will be lucky if we only have to spend $23,000 for that pickup truck I would imagine that it could go for a lot more.

606
01:14:11.790 --> 01:14:22.980
Karen Tarapata: It may go for more if we may not but that's what, when I was asking our guys what I should bed, and they did their research and they said, this is what we think is a fair bit so.

607
01:14:24.420 --> 01:14:28.500
Karen Tarapata: Just don't don't let anybody over in orange town, I hope the ones on the call tonight.

01:14:48.810 --> 01:14:55.350
Karen Tarapata: All right, it does not appear to be the case for anything else the trustees would like to speak about tonight.

612
01:14:56.850 --> 01:15:09.540
Laurie Dodge: um, I just wanted to let everybody know that Jonathan did a first draft of the proposal for the grant and Karen and I looked at it today and had some minor comments so as soon as they turn it around.

614
01:15:15.870 --> 01:15:27.360
Laurie Dodge: So I think I should get it back tomorrow and we'll email it out and then, if you can just take a quick look at it it's not it's not really long it's a pretty easy read, then they can send it out on Monday morning.

615
01:15:29.430 --> 01:15:34.440
Karen Tarapata: And I was thinking that the four hours that we're going Oh, this is, I do have one thing to say.

01:16:03.450 --> 01:16:17.490
Karen Tarapata: So we will see what happened love four hours, though, to go over our priorities, depending on how many grievances we get that might be a good time to talk about our priorities for remember, because I can actually bring.

619
01:16:19.890 --> 01:16:28.740
Karen Tarapata: Things to look at Madison plans, and it would give us some time to just discuss something that doesn't require resolution but just.
