Thank you. Thank you. Okay, good morning, everybody. Thank you. Today is Wednesday, May 15, 2024. We're here for a work session agenda. If we could all rise for the Pledge of Allegiance. And let me see. Who am I going to pick? Oh, Rich. Rich, would you lead us in the pledge? Yes. Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice, for all. Thank you, Rich. You're welcome.

Okay, I have a couple of quick notes or announcements to make. This Sunday, May 19, is Community Day at Stotsky Park. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., all are invited to attend this free family-friendly event, which includes a community art sale, a fun run, musical performances throughout the day, food trucks, local vendors, a bounce house, obstacle course, and lawn games, as well as an opportunity to meet some of our Riverhead police officers and explore the Riverhead Fire Department's big ladder truck. So it sounds like it could be a lot of fun down at Stotsky Park. Today, Saturday, I'm sorry, Sunday, May 19, I just hope Mother Nature cooperates because she likes to rain on the weekends for some reason, which stops all of us from getting our yard work done. And there is no rain date for this. So it's either. Either on or it's not going to be, but hopefully it will make it through. A reminder to all residents this coming Monday, May 20th at 6 o'clock right here, there will be a special town board meeting for two public hearings related to the comprehensive plan update. Residents who wish to comment on the draft plan or the DGEIS are encouraged to attend either in person or virtually via Zoom. There will also be opportunity to submit written comments. So again, Monday. May 20th right here at 6 o'clock, the comp plan. Big ta-da. So make sure you show up if you're interested and we're tuning in via TV. All right. First item today on the open session, we're going to deal with Mattis surrounding a possible change to Chapter 301, pervious parking, and that would be with Matt Charters. Matt Charters, Chief of Staff,

Good morning, everybody. Good morning, Matt. All right. So this is a pretty straightforward clarification to our code to deal with pervious parking. So as you know, the reviewing board, either the town board or the planning board on site plans can allow someone to do pervious parking. So that's, you know, something that drains itself. Pervious asphalt, pervious papers, gravels, et cetera. What we have seen throughout our application process now is people are relying on pervious parking. Thank you. So that's something that drains itself. Thank you. So that's something that drains itself. sort of get around the code as a workaround so as a another variance they wouldn't have to seek so if they're going way beyond their floor area that would be allowed they're gonna try and do pervious parking so they don't have to get an impervious variance so what this does is just for the purpose of zoning all your pervious parking has to be considered impervious which if you ask most engineers like gravel or something after a year or two it compacts and becomes impervious anyway. Yep and the lake in front of the ice rink. So like any gravel you just over time freeze the cycle driving over it even some of this other stuff that's not maintained it becomes impervious so we want to make sure that this is not you know used as a tool to make it look like you're doing the right thing where you're going beyond like you're you know you're building a lot of coverage or your floor area and not having to get an impervious variance because you're way beyond what would be allowed because essentially there's nothing to stop you now in the town code from just making your whole site pervious parking. Right. Couldn't you make the code so your pervious parking has to match impervious parking so you're saying they're getting around. So this is what it's gonna do it's gonna make your for your purposes of your impervious coverage the pervious parking will now count towards your impervious calculation. I know it's a little like... Confusing? Yeah I mean... So these are all the like commercial projects that I use them? So my only concern like always I imagine they still have to provide at least a paved area for handy Yeah so it's going to always be paved and it's always going to we want to make sure it's functioning correctly we just want to make sure that it's you know if you're going beyond your coverage as you're not using this as like a way to get out of a variant so it's going to count towards your impervious and like your total coverage. You just have no trust in people you think they would really make an improvement in your performance? tried to do that from experience we see some creative absolutely no doubt in my mind what about for residential though you're saying commercial so this is really the only time this would come in is for commercial for site plans I mean residential someone wants to do previous there's not we could address it but this is really just looking at commercial products I just look at from a trade standpoint right pervious is much better because yeah it is it is functions correctly and we're not saying that you shouldn't do that so like the board the Reviewing Board will always have to give the person permission that's what the code says now in consultation with the town engineer with a consulting engineer what were we using for that particular project we just want to make sure the codes functioning will ensure okay have it on for publishing post for the next meeting or where he's good absolutely sounds caring in June sure hey Jeff sounds great thank you Matt thank you thank you for letting go first no problem you're the chief of coffee item number we have police matters surrounding the city of

the monthly report with chief Hagen Miller good morning good morning hopefully everyone has a copy with the email to you correction on it and then have to do with the revenue chart the wrong thought was attached it only had April okay on it so there's the yearly total thank you thank you April was a good month. Calls received are down. Domestic saw up, motor vehicle actions up, deer strikes were up. Big time. Summons is down, arrangements are up, everything else is down including criminal incidents were down quite a bit and that's due to reduced number of pet at-law attorneys for April. No I can't. I didn't report that with me. I'll have to get that to you. Okay. Hopefully it's down. Make sure it's not attached. I don't remember any but I'll get it to you. Okay. Let's see, we did the transition to our new RMS happened this month, beginning of the month, not the beginning of the month. But I think it was like the 6th of May. So we're on our new records management and our new CAD system. And so far, if there was any word around I knock on it, so far so good. Still up and running. There are some issues with releasing information as far as to the press but we're working on it. We're working on it. That's the button that says give them nothing. Not a right one. Or give them nothing button. So it's a good thing. Yeah. It's a work in progress. The way they designed it didn't release. They released everything from CAD but not actually the return that is on the call. So we're working on getting the return to be published in the blotter. But we're getting there. I think our reports are more accurate in the sense that we're out of the going back one year ago, we're out of that pandemic period of just everybody on lockdown and things like that. So now when we're comparing this month and the month last, we're out of that. So we're starting to get some actual realistic numbers back to reality. Pairing reality to reality. I just looked at that from DMV, put out some kind of report and basically yes, from 2019 to now we're back basically the same way we started. Doing good. There is more good news, very good news. The state or the governor has awarded us $1.47 million for technology. So we submitted it. Last year we got $40 on that grant. This year we're getting $1.4 million. Body cameras? Nice. Nice. And that looks like she's covering the whole body camera project. It's a five year project. We're going to pay over five years. It looks like we're getting all the money up front. Oh, that's really good news. Well, no, officially at the end of the month, her letter comes out at the end of the month. Well, thank you, Governor's Office, for sure. Thank you for your time. Yes. So we were the second largest grant. We were the second largest recipient in Suffolk County. The county being the largest in influence. They got $7 million when we got the money. Awesome. Yep. That's really good news. And I think that's it. Good. I'll get you that other than all the other stuff. Okay. Very good. Thank you, Chief. No problem. Item number three, we have code enforcement matters surrounding monthly report with Senior Investigator Down. Good morning, Rich. Good morning, everybody. Good morning. All right. Happy to report code enforcement will be, Pam Hulse will be starting on Monday, a full-time clerical person. She's great. Desperately needed, so it'll be good. So we'll have that office manned. All right. Excellent. So happy to report that. Really good news. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. illegal and lawful struck apartments we had three illegal signs we had three light ordinance we had one overcrowded houses we're working on six property maintenance five no rental permit violations we have two residential building no permits for residential little garbage we have two solid waste three streets and sidewalk violations one unsafe buildings one vacant abandoned buildings one vehicles in parking to zoning setbacks to and zoning use violations we have to we have 18 cases still open from January there's still pending investigations we're working on we issued 70 summonses for the month of April we're up a little bit from last month so there were yeah those arranged from no rental permit violations we had nine you have no building It's 14. No COs. Those are eight. Violations of zoning, five. Noise ordinance, one. Parking on front lawn violations, six. Unregistered vehicles, four. Litter on commercial properties, we have three. Litter on residential, we have one. Weeds, rubbish, that's getting big now because people aren't mowing their lawns and the grass is now growing. So we have six. Exterior lighting, one. Clothing bins, we have two. Violations of site plan, we have three. Obstruction of sidewalks, one. Stopped work order violation, one. And unlawful signage for, last but not least, dumpsters, one. All right. We have a question on the no building permits. That's really concerning. What's the process? Because somebody could build a building, not get electrical, clothing inspections, all the inspections they need. So what happens then? Well, I mean, routinely with the no building permit violations, we're finding a lot of, we're going to places, and sometimes there'll be a basement occupancy where they've constructed walls and put in heat and electric and things such. They don't have building permits or a CO for it. So those are routinely the ones. We're seeing over there. But if somebody does not have a building permit, they're to apply for one with the building department, get an application together and apply for it, and they will inspect it to make sure it conforms with the New York State Fire and Building Code. Just because it's built and it's up, when they do get caught or when they do come forward, an inspection is done. The electrical, the plumbing, everything does get inspected. Yes. Even if they have to rip out a wall or take something apart to see it. So be it. But it is actually inspected. Correct. By the building department. Yes. Yep. Okay. Okay. Any other questions on that? No. As you know, I gave you a copy of something that the town of Babylon has recently started, and I gave it to the town attorney's office, too, and I just want to mention it to the board. Sure. I was speaking with Supervisor Schaefer from Babylon, and they have signed on with a company that tracks all rentals in their town. So they track all VRBOs, all Airbnbs. They track all the rentals, and then they give the information to the town to compare whether or not there is a rental permit on that property or not. And there's a huge opportunity for a money grab on all the people that are illegally renting without rental permits. And I think it would help tremendously. It's just a matter of finding some money to hire this company. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. absolutely so we'll look into that further yeah a lot of savings in this department as well because he had you know shorthanded employees you know unfortunately yeah but but there is money in the department there so yep yep 100% agree with you yeah my good way to crack down on it yeah absolutely great idea all right we'll get moving on to rentals we perform the you know the annual inspections of rental properties we have inspected approximately a hundred and nine residential type structures for the month of April we've collected approximately forty four thousand eight hundred fifty dollars in rental fees for the month of April totaling revenue from January to April right now currently is ninety thousand four hundred that's not all you got that's one of the busiest offices we have incredible what you've gotten done lack of personnel that you've had so yeah we can expect so much more now getting you up to speed a little bit would just somebody in the office is gonna take so much pressure off of you or anybody else who has to sit in there to the kind of guard the ship everybody's outside doing their job so we're just treading water right now yeah just bring her head above right good it's good job we raised all the fees and everything and now it's a lot of space for the space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space is Justice Court, matters surrounding the monthly report, and it will be with Deputy Town Attorney Saru. Hello, how are you? Good morning, everybody. Okay, as usual, I'll start off with my disclaimer. This is just town code ordinances, nothing from the penal law, but of course we have that overlap with PD for the quality of life offenses. And in that same token, I would like to give Riverhead PD a shout out. They've done really, really well with these return on warrants, especially in the month of April. Just outside of our regular court dates, we've had seven return on warrants, which is pretty big, and this is not counting all the return on warrants that come through already at the court. So with that being said, we've had five fire marshal convictions totaling at $2,260. For the month of April, quality of life, 24 convictions, 5,465. Neighborhood preservation, 3,015. So there were seven other convictions for the return on warrants, and the total amount brought in was $1,345, with 48 convictions. Parking calendars, we set down a parking trial, which I just had on Monday. We've been picking up on litigation, especially, Councilman Kern, I know you're concerned. Councilman Kern was the illegal dumping of the household garbage. Those are now finally finding their way to the Justice Court. And because those fines were increased, and they are, you know, the minimum fine if a person in the town of Riverhead deposits household garbage in a Riverhead receptacle, minimum fine is $1,500. Right? So these are pretty much automatic trials, and we're setting them all down for trial. Excellent. So those will be, I'll report on those next month of what the outcomes of those Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And how's that working? Even like alongside, so like in Wainey River, there's this ongoing problem where people are just, you know, we have rentals within the area, illegal renters that are just stacking their garbage next to the garbage pails down by the beach and overflowing them and so forth. Right. How does it work out? Do you work along with the sanitation department and B&G to kind of search through some of this stuff and find receipts and other things with names on it? Yep, receipts, mail, anything that will link the defendant to the actual garbage. And I have conversations with sanitation, and then he'll come in earlier next week to prep for trial, and we'll get the evidence that we need to get in, and then hopefully I will give you a report on what those outcomes are. Thank you. So that's what I have for this month, and I'm looking forward to letting you know what happens with those and a couple other trials I have on. That went on this month. Excellent. Are we building up revenues and all of the mandatory? All the mandatory surcharges are being adhered to. I'm very happy to report that the judges are taking them seriously and putting them in. Good. Yep. Because so often it's like Monty Hall's let's make a deal in judge's court, and you get a, you know, I'll plead guilty, but we'll waive the fee or whatever. Exactly. I understand there are circumstances where that is appropriate, but this is a good dollar amount coming in after all the let's make a deal is done. I agree. This is a good job. Yep. Excellent. Thank you. Excellent. Anything else? Good job. Thank you very much. Thank you. Have a great day. You too.

All right. Next up we have sewer. We have matters surrounding biosolids reuse program with Michael Reichel. Really? Good morning. Good morning, Mike. How are you? Good. And who do we have with you today? This is Nick Bono from H2N. Hi, Nick. How are you? Nice to meet you. For the Riverhead Schemmel District. So today we are here to discuss the biosolids reuse project. We did a mapping plan back in 2022. And we held a public hearing for improvements to the district to include biosolids reuse improvements. After the construction documents were done and design was done, we went out to bid earlier this year. The bids came in higher than the original estimate, which was an average. So we did a mapping plan in July of 2021, which can be expected. So what we needed to do was just the mapping plan to reflect the new numbers. We would need a public hearing to establish a new budget and to do a new bond authorization for that. with moving forward with the project and answer any questions you have. Okay. So just building off of what Mike said, essentially this biosolids reuse project is targeted to reduce the volume of solids that you otherwise have to haul from the facility that landfill apply. In doing our analysis, so the tables, I guess, on the handout that Mike had distributed, item number three of that table is giving you an overview of what your current expenditure is, relative to the operation of the sludge process that you currently have. What we did was we looked at it over a 30-year life cycle, which is typical of facilities like this, and then we averaged out the 30-year cost, which take into account an annual escalation factor. In doing that, just the sludge hauling utility and consumable cost that the district is expending averaged over 30 years. You're looking at an annual expenditure of about $1.3 million. The capital improvement that we had designed is going to be a process that's going to significantly reduce the volume of solids generated and essentially reduce that annual average cost over 30 years down to about $419,000, which essentially is an $860,000 a year savings. Which is great, but it costs you money to put the capital improvements in place to get the systems to generate this type of outcome. So with that, if you flip over to the next page, this is a summary of the construction costs that came in, which was higher than what the estimate was from 2021, as well as all the other costs associated in terms of engineering, soft costs, permitting, and all the things necessary to complete this system. The bottom line number at the end of this table is the total dollar amount that would need to be budgeted and applied to a loan. For wastewater facilities, and I know the town's familiar with the Environmental Facilities Corporation, we would pursue a loan through them. And due to the nature of the town, you would qualify under their hardship financing program, which is a zero interest loan and 0% admin fees on it. So essentially, you would be taking this dollar amount over a 20-year period and paying it off. That being said, the last page is just giving you the amount that you need to pay for it. And then the next page is just giving you what that loan amount over 20 years would have came to. And it's just under $845,000 a year. So you're netting an $860,000 savings. You'll be increasing your loan payback or your debt that you currently don't have by $844,000. So you're still a net negative on your annual expenditure. So we went through this exercise to really reevaluate the cost impacts of the capital improvement relative to the savings compared to what you're currently spending. And I think that's going to be an important part of the process. And I think that's going to be an important part of the process. And I think in the long run, I don't know whether it's included in these numbers, Mike, but eventually if we get the county off of our system and we make that available to other new projects that are coming eventually down in Town Square and we see the development for Siebel in the next three, four years, apartment buildings start opening up, new Town Square Hotel and all the other things in there, imagine your flow is going to be greater. than certainly what it is now. So really the savings, this may even be potentially, it's safe to say underestimating the overall savings of this project once the flow really starts. Because we're only growing, there's no way to scale back. So this is win-win all around. It's a great program. Mike, if I recall in 2021 the cost was somewhere around 10 billion and it's gone up like more than 50%. What's the reason that it's gone up 50% in three years? I'm just curious. I think it was market adjustments and as we did the detailed design, some of the original scope changed and we increased the footprint of the storage building that we're putting on the property. So there were things that, it's not necessarily apples to apples, there were things that were increased during design in terms of the scope of work that's going to be done, which contributed to the increase in cost. So in the long run, and I'm glad you put the extra storage in. Do we have room to expand? I mean if we take, get back county and all that? What's the capacity of this? It's designed for whatever the design flow is of the sewer and the scavenger waste district. At 100%. 100%. Right. No more, no less. So right now, the way the solids are coming into the facility, it's under loaded relative to what we could achieve. These savings right now are based on the current loading. If your loading increase, the savings will increase as well. Right. Right. Good. And if we just, you know, you say disconnect of the county and then make up that difference with development downtown, it could be a tradeoff too. Where you, you know, it's not like you're getting that much more, you're taking flow away and adding flow here. And the facility is only rated for X amount of gallons a day. There's a large amount of reserve for the county that's not used. Correct. And that's going to be used when our development comes downtown. So the numbers will be significantly higher savings. No question about it. I guess the only other thing I wanted to highlight is our savings are still assuming that the material that's coming out of this process is still going to be hauled the same way that you're hauling it. That's conservative. The material and the quality of it is going to be of a quality that you have unrestricted disposal opportunities. So potentially, we could eliminate hauling costs if it's just given away. Right? Yeah, that I, yeah. So, you know, again, there's additional savings to be realized. We're just saying worst case, you're just going to haul it the way you are. Where's the truck to now? Bethlehem, PA. Okay. Because it's closer than Ohio. Right. That's where it used to go. That's what they thought. Yeah. Okay. So the, we had to put together the map and plan based on what regulations we have right now. So while we're doing construction, we will make applications to DEC for, you know, for permits to do land application, either on side farms, container nurseries, tree nurseries, whatever, to incorporate it into the soil as a soil amendment. But if that doesn't get approved, we're still, again, going to continue to go to the landfills. And based is all on volume reduction. And that's where the savings comes in. The, and a lot of places are doing studies. The state of Maine has discontinued the use of biosolids on land applications. Because of certain chemicals that are in the sludge based on industrial users. We don't have a lot of industrial users on our system. And we think our sludge is going to be of good quality. And it will be used for that. But, so what they needed to do is they're focusing on volume reduction. And that's going to take a while. We're already there. We've started this a long time ago to do volume reduction for cost savings. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. right time talking about chemicals and the bio solids I was at a summit of all the supervisors on Long Island the other day and they discussed that the sewer treatment plants are possibly going to be starting to be tested for PFAS and PFOA's we any idea we've taken this could bankrupt a town if you have to go out and filter now say the water you're pumping out onto county golf course right so they we went to state in that study with USGS and it was to collect samples from your influent and your affluent they didn't take any sludge samples for you know certain chemicals and we haven't got the results of them back there were several different treatment plants throughout the county that participate in that program so we're still waiting for the test results to come back if it is found to be in there it's the you have to go upstream and see where you're getting it from and that's we have to isolate the problem from you're gonna know that you're probably going to have always have some but if you can eliminate your sources then you know that's you get out of the waste room for even hits us so but eliminated it means filtering it out somehow well before finding going to the root of words coming from you're saying and stop that from going in and that not allowed them not allow them to inject into the water system okay find your sources yeah that it's all part of the surveillance program that they're doing I want to start downstream and then work their way back to see what does it look like where's it coming from and then come up with a plan on how to effectively address it because potentially if we had to start doing the filters like the water department uses on the wells I mean this is millions and millions of dollars it really could bankrupt the town right that was the concern of the yeah but it all depends on what's gonna come out in those though San Francisco some you write yes and and I'm guessing that it's not going to be in the affluent I believe it's gonna be cat it's captured in the sludge I hope you're right now and all depends on the concentrations that are coming in so what's you can test what's coming in and what's going out and the difference is what's in your sludge right and again we don't have a lot of industrial uses on the system we really don't have any I mean we have ad chem up there by Applebee's and that's that's pretty much it as far as industrial and that's just sanitary use only there's no no industrial waste comes into the system so I think we'll be in pretty good shape good I hope so I think it's close on yeah yeah yeah because I would affect our reuse plan right it would enjoy because it's all comes out clean we actually have a product that we could potentially sell right so we'll give away first well but if it's a good clean product and the system that we're looking at is a good clean system. to install has been installed in Geneva New York and we went visited the treatment plant up there and they're they're doing land application up there without any problems they've got permission to do that and they've they were had outlet it to a couple of farmers and then one farm said well I'd like to take I want to take all your product and the other farms are now I'm gonna take all your product so then it they ended up paying you know now they're paying for it was all their stuff screen for PFAS or PFOS I'm not really sure this was this was a while back. I'm not really sure this was this was a while back. We took a trip up there. So with the board's permission we'd like to put a resolution for calling a public hearing for the bond authorization for the difference to amend the bond authorization. I hope it won't be as contentious as the first one. I think I know how to spoke. I think it's way too scientific but you did an awesome job. I always just want to say Michael you've been like a leader in the whole industry as a whole like going in. And touring your facility and looking at your like so far above other facilities around the area around the around the coast. So you've always done an awesome job. You're always looking at better environmental ways better saving ways and you produce every single year. It's been awesome. The downside is we're never letting you retire. I took the words right out of my mouth. I just got a clamp on my head. Go right to the chair. Do you want to be the Rondo author on the grant? Yes. Okay. So we'll have another. Are you authorizing the WIA application? Yes. Okay. So there's a WIA grant that is available and it's due June 15th. I just got a notification of it the other day. So Dawn's office is going to put that application together with the help from H2M to you can do that resolution? Yeah. All right. And so you know what it is. What's WIA mean? Water Infrastructure Improvement Act. Okay. So some of the WIA grants are for drinking water, some are for clean water, so sewer and this would be a clean water. And Corris has been making those applications so we should continue to do that. Good. Very good. In between all the other time you haven't had office, do grants. She's back from vacation now so she's just going to work right through this. She's recharged, right? Yes. Ready to go. All right. Good. All good. Okay. All right. Well thank you so much. Thanks. Awesome job. Thanks everybody. Thank you. Thank you. Nice meeting you. Likewise. Take care. Okay. And the last matter we have on for open session today before we get to resolutions are matters surrounding possible South James Ports beach boat rack, East Creek docking surveillance and capital projects including resurfacing of the basketball court and that will be the next item on the agenda. And that will be with our recreation superintendent, Ray Coyne. Good morning, Ray. Good morning, Ray. Let's start with the South James Port boat rack. I don't know if I, do you guys have the fancy? I have the fancy. Okay. Ray, can I get one of those big sticks? Yes. I believe I have mine. Okay. This is part of our initiative to bring in revenue to the town. So this is actually Ashley had bought this to me. And we've had several requests over the years of people wanting to put their kayaks in a storage place or the small boats and stuff like that. So we decided to take a look at it. B&G can construct it. So generally this is what it looks like. It's a 12, there's 12 boat rack spaces to it. We're going to locate it at South James Port beach. The rental agreement, and this is we're modeling off Southampton, would start May 25th to October 15th. The rental rate, which is our initial rate, would be 150. Southampton's 200. We wanted to just have like initial rates so we can get people in right away. They have to be town residents or taxpayers. And they have to bring, secure it with a hole or a chain or padlock or similar means. They're responsible for themselves. And they must supply a picket line. And they must make sure of the vessel with their contract. So applications for the town of Riverhead and overall boat rack rental season will be accepted as first come first serve basis. Because I'm sure we're going to get a waiting list after this. A lottery, if necessary, will be conducted for the 2025 season. And that's, we say lottery because Southampton has a lottery. Limit one per person. Two entries per household. Limit one storage spot per person. Selected applicants will be required to make a non-refundable payment. A 150 on or before May 25th. To secure their space. All applications much include proof of Riverhead residency, taxpayer status, and provide a picture of the vessel. So, and all of the applications will be found on our website. So this is the first thing. We're hoping to put them everywhere. But this is an experimental shot. Ray, I have a question for you. Is there room, you know, if the demand is there to increase it at that particular part? South Jamesport? Yeah. Oh yeah. That's one. Second question is, I know, I don't know, it was a couple of months ago. What's the name of that park on West Main? Willow something? Weeping Willow Park? Weeping Willow Park. That's a perfect spot for it too. Right. To put some there? Yeah. So they can get on the river. I can tell you, Ray, it's never been a great idea. And for years when we were in the Beach Club in Weeding River, we always, it was like a lottery. First come first serve. You had to get that kayak wrapped. You know, wrapped right away. First one to send in the check, you know. Yeah. But I'd love to see it at Weeding River Beach as well. Sure. To move them around. I think it's going to be an automatic success. So there's certainly a lot of people that it's a lot easier than hauling it up the beach and getting on top of the car. That's the complaint we always get. I myself have it hanging out the back of the Suburban going down the street. So by all means, it'll be successful right away. So it's a great job. But I encourage you right away to expand it. Because I think it'll be needed all around. We will. No, no, no. We definitely will. We just wanted to give it a shot. See what kind of feedback we get. And I have a feeling, too, because of all the calls we received over the years of people, hey, can you do something with the kayak or a canoe rack? Can you do this? And credit to Buildings of Grounds. They built it for us. So. And the only thing I encourage is write on the rack to write, call this number to Rent-A-Space. Yeah. No, no. We'll market it. We'll know right where to go to get it. And then we'll just, as long as you guys are okay with the one-year-old, we'll get it. Like I said, 200 at Southampton. We thought about it. We said, no, let's start it off at 150. Then we'll slowly increase it just to get the people in. And 150 times 12, that's a pretty good amount to start. And then you get four beaches. Then maybe Wheaton Willow. Then we'll really start to generate revenue from it. Yeah. I'm with Ken. I would like, I think this is going to be like a grand slam. Right? So 12 I would like to see at other beaches. I think that's going to be a great deal. I think that's going to be a great deal. I think that's going to be a great deal. I think that's going to be a great deal. I think that's going to be a great deal. I think that's going to be a great deal. I'm with Ken. I think this is going to be like a grand slam, right? So 12 I would like to see at other beaches and get it started. Yeah. No, we definitely will. We definitely will. Like I said, really we couldn't ask B&G to build a whole bunch of them. We said one to start, and so we will put in a resolution with the rate, as long as the town board is okay with the rate of 150. Then we'll go ahead and do that, and then we'll go ahead and launch it. The rack is built very simple. I think also where we can reach out to like Troop 94. We always have Eagle Scouts looking to do projects and stuff like that. It's a simple way to construct it that we may get some Eagle Scouts that want to participate in the program as well to build them. Yeah, I took a picture. I don't know if you guys have that. I did get your e-mails. That's the one. That's the one we modeled it after. It just looks like a piece of wood carving. It's not big at all. We're going to move forward with that. If you're okay with it, go ahead. I understand the limit per household, but for there only to be two, what if you have like mom, dad, and the kids that do this together on the weekends? Limit more than two vessels? Yeah. That's up to you. Listen, we're just modeling Southampton. We had nowhere to go but just to model the success that Southampton has had. So if you as a board would like us to change that rule, I'm fine with that. It doesn't matter to me. I just want to sell off 12 of them. Right. I would like to see families be able to do something together, and by limiting it to two, you're kind of cutting the kids out. I can move that out and just see what plays out. I don't know. It's up to the rest of the board or just something. That makes sense. I mean, this seems to be a trial. I see this as being pretty big. I would ask you to consider $175,000. I'll consider $500,000. Okay. $175,000. No, again, we just want to sell it out right away. You don't know how it could be. Southampton, Southampton, they're going to get that money. I just want to make sure we got the money so we said we would go a little lower, but I'll gladly pump it up to $175,000. The price is right. I mean, the cost of kayaks has come down. It's becoming more. It's a growing sport out on the water on a regular basis. More affordable. Yeah. It keeps it affordable. Yeah. These are our residents. We're not looking to penalize them. Oh, you have to be a resident. You have to be a resident. Yeah. It's resident only. My only thing is when you're building the racks, to mention the B&G is one of some of the things we've seen in other places where I have gone is like our kayak is a larger oversize. It's kind of between a kayak and a canoe. And just to have like on the lower level ones a wider distance. Yeah. Okay. Some of these kayaks are very narrow and so forth, and then you show up with yours, and they never fit. Okay. Oh, more than one person can go on a kayak, right? Yes. Yeah, they have two. I've never gone kayaking. Yeah. You get this. Okay. Then forget what I said. Kayaking is fun. You know. It's really, it's nice. It's relaxing. But maybe, maybe Council Will Mosky has some families that want to donate kayaks. I won't spoil it. Yeah. I see us down the road even with the kayaks. We sit with, Council McCarran and I spoke about going to a lot of places. Yeah. Yeah. Weepin' Willow Park. I don't know. That's a, it's a small little park. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a small little park next to the old Weepin' Willow, well, it used to be the old Weepin' Willow Motel, but there's a, we have a little path to the, to the water. Yeah. And it's perfect to launch your boats over there, kayaks, canoes. Yeah. So maybe in a week down the road we can start renting those too. Thank you. We're looking for every way we can get revenue into the, to the department. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So that's with that. The second one is Stotsky Park, the basketball court. We're looking to resurface it. We've done it at Horton. We're looking to do the same thing at Stotsky. We received a quote from the same company of 17 to 18 grand. That's our starting point. If somebody comes in lower, which I don't think they will, then we'll, we'll do the three quotes. We just, I just wanted to make sure the town board's okay with us doing resurfacing the park. You did a good savings last, last, was it last year when Kentesta got really bad? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. courts over at Stotsky Park and so forth like that so you use the same approach on that as opposed to just calling out no no it's not it doesn't need to be totally redone like the tennis court because they use three different companies to rebuild the tennis court this is just pure resurfacing we did it at Horton last year there's a local company that outbid the larger companies like LandTec by 15 20 grand it was like 15,000 so we went to them again because they really did a nice job yeah like I said he's local he's from Riverhead yeah it's an independent business so we're assuming he's still gonna be the lowest quote we're gonna get a couple of the court and sold enough okay yes that's gonna be my next question and when was the last time this was done it at Stotsky since before even I got here I was gonna say I don't remember that being done in recent time at all yeah and then something Larry Williams always was inquiring about right and we just never had the money but it could choose the fair amount to every time I ride by it is at least a couple heads up there shooting around it's very bad that's what's very popular there that's why we're looking to once the I'm gonna come to you guys soon with two bears to read to put in a brand new best book quarter two bears because it's very popular very popular can they just work on a project just to beautify the end of that basketball court pulling out all that overgrown stuff that's coming down like the in Stotsky Park on the one end just so that then once it's resurfaced nobody's driving on it or whatever to cut that stuff and trim it that's asking yeah yeah we could put bollards up or something like that yeah I I know what you're talking about clean it up before then when you resurface it you got nobody driving on their pickup trucks trying to clean it needs to be it needs an overall up there yeah I I agree with that landscape side of things yeah so I mean I would encourage you to do that before you know this is a great project goal yeah I mean go ahead well no vehicles can get any more unless it's our vehicles um we successfully surrounded the entire Stasski Park with bollards and gates um but you still are some of our vehicles you know our BNG our own just our own drive home with a brand new surface so tear everything out so no I agree 100 it's a good way to remove everything because our basement is right there so many times we bring our own trunk over there so yeah we'll we'll make sure that's a good way to remove everything because our basement is right there so yeah we'll we'll make sure that's a good way to eliminate that um okay so the third uh thing I wanted to discuss and I don't know if the chief here oh chief is here um I have been asking for several years to to um outfit East Creek Marina with surveillance I had asked the chief just recently if you can help out um I know the first thing about surveillance um we've been having a lot of robberies there believe it or not um don't say robbery uh yeah petty Larson yeah petty Larson uh no it's little it's little robbery sound like somebody's got guns on no no no not even close not even close then we wouldn't want to portray that that's happening people just little things you know yeah yeah I think it's it sounds like it's you know kids around you know um and then plus we want to keep a better eye on the dock and and this is what everybody's doing we want to get all the parks outfitted with with surveillance so uh I'll defer to the chief here he he got a quote from me from A-plus and so it's basically the same camera systems we have throughout the town so we'll fight to A-plus they did a uh they reviewed the site and they came up with a plan um it'll be the same as we have now with the wireless they did think about hard wiring it because there's a lot of conduit down there for the slips and stuff like that and there is Wi-Fi down there already so um B and G looked at it and they thought not using not using the conduit wouldn't be a good idea so they have to do it wirelessly and that's what we'll do okay so it'll be the capture of the beach the parking lot and the slips and using good cameras and it'll all come back to headquarters okay so that must be up now price 75 000. this is the East Creek fund which is a separate fund right I asked um I'm going to net if they can uh give me a uh I guess the recap of the fund so I'll let Bill take over from there so there is money to do this right now there's about 51 percent in fund balance this will take away about 25 percent so we're down to 25 percent um the only thing in East Creek is we had a discussion about bulk heading a little while ago is that project still because we were looking to bulk heading that we don't have the funds for and then bond it and we try to put that off for a year or so so we can pay that once the old bond comes off so is that still on table or um we haven't even I haven't approached that yet with the engineering and the bulk is on the other side of the the Creek um but it's so we do make uh money each year and we're still paying off the bond I think we have three or four years left of the bond you've got 27. yeah um so even though we're paying off the bond we're still making a decent amount of money per year at East Creek yeah it's only 500 kayak rentals paid for the cameras right so my question would be not knowing when we have to do that the timing of it I know that Ray has a list of projects that needs to be done that we need to have a discussion on so maybe we throw this into that I know we talked about grants we may get and we kind of have to put it together and see where we're getting that from this from so we potentially have money to do that bulk heading as soon as we need to yeah I don't mind breaking it down with this show as good as we're pushing that down the line further than we want to yeah even at the end of the season would be too soon for us to do that but I know that it's a problem we have to replace it yeah maybe we can just meet up with Drew and find out what they're you know yeah he may say go two years you know before we really have any issues so okay but yeah I want to make sure we manage there's a bunch of projects right like I said in that email that we need to do for parks I just want to make sure that they're listed and they come in priority order so that we know what's one of these parts and I'm not saying that these surveillance columns are not priority I just think we have to make sure we know what we're getting yeah and this is just separate East Creek the only thing East Creek can pay for is anything at South Chainsport that borderlines the marina so that would include the bulkhead but the way I see it is we're making a decent amount of money each year now including paying off the bond and once the bond is like a hundred something thousand a year so once that comes off the books now that's adding to the the amount that we make on top of it probably the police department could get like a million dollar Grant for equipment it's monitoring it's security yeah no I'm totally fine with breaking down a couple projects over there just to make sure we're good crazy East Creek filled up still and a waiting list yes good okay yeah we're very over there um we averaged 10 percent turnover um last year I think seven or eight percent uh so it's been stable over the years but the waiting list is up to 300 something people so we're and that's been since I've been here it's just a stable waiting list and uh people keep coming on it every year so it always always balance itself out yeah we've been at like 175 for years on the waiting list you're on it I'll check you probably you definitely moved up I know we've turned over that list a couple times so I'll try now well we no longer have a boat tell me that my ship has sailed wait a minute I like lost in raids I might get a kayak yeah she puts the weight how long does it take to install that's probably at least eight weeks once they get the green light that would probably be max time they probably say four to six weeks then say in eight weeks let's put the surveillance in is that what you're yeah yeah that's great this is long overdue for there we have millions of dollars worth of boats in that Marina let's just no push back from the users of the marina about the camera because years back that was an issue they really didn't want cameras down there so no well it was mainly really one put the I always wondered why but uh yeah and a lot of them do have some cameras and we have the um the Wi-Fi there we've had that for about three years now so that does help uh so they can put their little doorbell on their boat uh we just wanted uh you know we you hear things and you know you just want to make sure especially at night that we're up and up and it goes right to the police station we feel very good about that and we're going to be able to get the safety that it's always up there so great that's all I have okay thank you Ray thank you thank you have some more good news you just got a billion yeah right another million right the reason you didn't get a report was there was nothing to report on the oh that's good that's real good okay okay I like that news just adding this thank you

okay this is going on the back side on the very bottom of your bill okay thank you

okay we're up to resolutions uh Deputy supervisor Higgins if you would mind reading off the resolutions okay if everybody's ready resolution number one authorizes town clerk to publish and post bid for used tow truck this is a tow truck that the Municipal Garage located I believe online and went up and looked at it and it is uh in good shape and it's a pretty good price and it's about a third of what a new one would cost and considering the old tow truck that we have is a will be a current museum piece somewhere um it's been well needed they've been looking for one for a long time so this was good news yeah so I think pursuing to um Theresa's !

procedures there what we're going to do is go out and publish and post for the bid and then we're transferring the money and we anticipate that that's the direction we're going to go but of course we're open to other bids as well correct right resolution number two budget transfer Municipal Garage tow truck for said truck number three 2023 budget transfer this is I understand it we're tying up the the last remaining loose ends from the 2023 books right number four refuse and garbage collection district budget adjustment they apparently want the tipping fees broken out so it's the same amount we're just breaking it out differently number five water district capital project 82408 budget adoption is that water guy needing money again yep number six WRGST project 82301 budget adjustment and award of construction bid number six WRGST project 82301 budget adjustment and award of construction for the water guy number seven assesses cost of labor and material for previously authorized remedial actions at premises known as 172 Michaels Lane Wading River New York Suffolk County tax map number 600-114-1-39.4 resolution number eight appoints seasonal staff to the Recreation Department number nine appoints Shannon Reitz as a member to the Recreation Advisory Committee number 10 appoints a call-in recreation aid to the Recreation Department same number 11 appoints a call-in Recreation Aid to the Recreation Department number 12 appoints new seasonal Beach employees to the Recreation Department number 13 appoints a seasonal registered nurse to the Recreation Department this is all uh well the nurses for the um the uh program where the kids go all day long down there so they have to have a nurse on duty the summer uh camp camp camp geez losing my mind up here today yes that's what it's for right number 14 appoints seasonal senior Recreation leaders to the Recreation Department number 15 appoints seasonal Recreation staff to the Recreation Department it's busy season in the rec department yes it is number 16 appoints a call-in chaperone to the Recreation Department number 17 set salaries for 2024 seasonal Recreation staff number 18 ratifies a salary increase for a senior citizens program supervisor number 19 ratifies the appointment of a temporary office assistant for the tax receiver's office so they can get a little help during their high season number 20 appoints interpreter for the police department and Justice Court number 21 appoints a provisional wastewater treatment operator trainee number 22 fortunately appoints a senior wastewater treatment plant operator 3A number 23 appoints a part-time court officer to the police department number 24 ratifies the appointment of a custodial worker one number 25 authorizes the supervisor to execute stipulation with CSCA local 1000 afscme afl CIO Riverhead unit of the Suffolk Local 852. This has to do with our fire marshals. As I mentioned in my early days as supervisor, we wanted to increase the availability of code enforcement officers through the 4 to 12 shift and also for the overnight shift because a lot of things happen and if the code enforcement officer is available, he can go right to the scene as opposed to the next day if he goes to the scene, they may not let him in. So if police are on the scene and see violations, they'll call code down and that led us to look at also for standby pay and standby pay also for the fire marshal. So we had to adjust it both divisions and make it accordingly so they're fairly compensated for their standby pay. Right. And number 26 appoints Lisa Mayer. As a member of the senior citizen advisory council. Number 27 appoints Sarah Mayo as a member of the senior citizen advisory council. Number 28 appoints Brian Tully as a member of the senior citizen advisory council. Number 29 appoints new member to veterans advisory committee Reese. Number 30 reappoints Judith Barth and Roy Sekulowski as members to the architectural review board. Number 31 appoints reappoints Sid Bale and Eileen McDuffie as members to the Helicopter Task Force. Number 32 reappoints John Cullen, Ken DeLand, and Connie Carlin as members to the Helicopter Task Force. Number 33 reappoints Hideki Irizumi to the Architectural Review Board. Number 34 accepts the retirement of a chief accountant. Devin, just the last ones that we appointed to the committees and boards, their terms are up and they either can relieve themselves from that committee or if they wish to stay on we renew the terms. All those appointments or reappointments are good cleanup work by the town board coordinator upstairs to clean up some loose ends that she identified. We had holdovers, we had certain things, so this kind of just tidies all that up and resets the clock for these folks. Yep. Number 33. Number 34 accepts the retirement of a chief accountant. Negative. Right. Number 35 accepts the retirement of a police detective. Ed Carey, congratulations. Wow. Number 36 ratifies the authorization for the recreation superintendent to attend the 2024 NYS RPS conference. Number 37 sets fees for the 2024 South Jamesport boat rack. We just spoke about that. Number 38 authorizes the supervisor to sign a consultant and professional services agreement with William Rothaar. This is with Mr. Rothaar retiring. It does leave us a bit short-handed and with a young staff, so we're going to be able to reach out to him as a consultant and on an as-needed basis. On as-needed basis, if needed, and similar, we might point out to the arrangement we had with Bob Kazakiewicz when he retired. Correct. We had a similar arrangement with him. It kind of just made it available for staff to call if they needed him. Right. Absolutely. As I understand it, we didn't call him much, if at all. So it may be the same here, but it's just nice to have the safety net in place. But if his resignation resolution doesn't pass, this is not a good point. Yeah, this is a moot point. Yeah, it's a waste of paper. So all we got to do is not allow him to retire and not allow him to resign. Yep. That's fine. That's it. So we'll pull this one after the other one's voted. Yeah. Okay. Resolution 33. Okay. Resolution 33. Okay. Resolution 39 authorizes the supervisor to enter into an agreement with an employee. Number 40 authorizes the supervisor to execute a license agreement with Paddle Pub, Inc. I'm just going to bring something up that was brought to my attention yesterday on that. They ordered a boat, and the boat's going to be late, so I don't know when that's going to happen. I let Karen know this morning, Eric. Okay. Okay. So we may just have to... We just may have to amend some of the verbiage in the agreement. Okay. No problem. That will be nice to have downtown. Absolutely. Number 41 authorizes the supervisor to execute an agreement with the County of Suffolk Office for the Aging, AAA Transportation Program 2024. This is a contract we do every year with them. Number 42 designates alcohol services vendor to service alcohol at the Polishtown Street Fair and Festival. Number 43 appoints special event chapter 255 application for this... Sergeant Robert A.

That's right. Tribute to him. He's the accountant. 45. Okay. So, Resolution 62 authorizes the acceptance of donation of bleachers from Peconic Bay Medical Center Foundation. We thank them for those bleachers. Yes. Absolutely. And number 63, budget transfer, Veterans Memorial Park Sanitary System. As I understand it, we're just on the cusp of obtaining the required health department approval to install the system that we'll need to actually allow all the bleachers. All the shiny new bathrooms to function over there. And we're anxious to get that going and get that system installed so folks across all of Veterans Park can reap the benefit of having a nice new facility. Just to show you the length of time. This was, we discussed this and approved it back in August. And just the length of time with the county, with the health department to finally get the permits to come and now we can move forward with this. Yep. It just takes time. Everybody's like, why couldn't you just, you can't. You got to go through the process. And they've been waiting something like, what is it, 10 years for bathrooms up there? Yes. So this is a long time coming and we're pleased to be at the point in the road here where we can actually get this just about finished. So, all right. That's it on resolutions. We have one more. Oh wait, you have one more, Devin. Oh, I'm sorry. The one you added. I gave you guys, oh, I do have it. Yep, I got it. Sorry, we have one additional resolution. Appoints Frank Bayruda as member to the Riverhead Farmland Committee. So, I don't know, seems very questionable. We probably need to vet the gentleman. Why wouldn't you get somebody with farming? I don't know. Yeah, really. I don't know. It's actually Farmland Preservation. Farmland Preservation Committee, yeah. We'll just add that. I can't think of a better guy for that position. Absolutely. The committee is so excited to have him. And we miss him around here, so it'll be nice to see him back in town hall. We miss everybody. Plus, he's on the board with the state ag and markets. Right. So, he's. Now he was perfect. Nobody better for the post. He's in the loop. Well, thank you, Devin, on resolutions. That concludes our open session. We are now going to close. Thank you. Thank you, Devin. Thank you, Devin. Thank you, Devin. Thank you, Devin, on resolutions. That concludes our open session. We are now going to. I'll make a motion momentarily to close open session and go into executive session to discuss under contractual matters surrounding a possible license agreement with DMS Apex Holdings. That will be with Kern and Hurley. We have matters surrounding possible contractual agreement with the YMCA with Dawn Thomas. We have matters surrounding possible sale of real property, Prudente, Thomas, Hurley. And then under personnel, we have matters surrounding a possible change in status of an employee with Hubbard and Howard. At this time, I'd like to make a motion to close open session and go into executive session. So moved. Second. All in favor? Aye. All opposed? Okay. We are closed and we will be going into executive session. Everybody have a great week. Great weekend. Hope for sunshine.

Have a great weekend. Have a great weekend. Have a great weekend. Have a great weekend. Thank you.
