Thank you. Good morning everybody. Today is Thursday, May 28th, 2026. We're here for a work session. Before we begin anything else, let's stand for the pledge. Councilwoman Waskie, would you lead us in the pledge please? Yes, thank you. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, its republic, and its the pledge please yes thank you I pledge 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 does anyone have any announcements today I do okay so May 31st 12 to 5 is the mosaic festival which will take plays right here in the town hall parking lot and then Saturday and Sunday May 30th and 31st 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. is the fantastic Spring Show and Plow Day at the Antique Power Association on Sound Avenue which is always a great day and one more quick one there's a grand opening and ribbon-cutting that's tomorrow it's a little star play land at Tanger and hate to say but they didn't tell me oh at 1 p.m. and it's really kind of a new cool thing happening at Tanger Owens very good anyone else yes I do I'm just mentioning again medication take-back day is this Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. CAP runs this where if you have any unwanted unused medication you can bring it down to the highway yard and they will dispose of it carefully and properly so it stays out of the hands of rural people and also it doesn't go down the drain into our water system. Also, the highway department is doing their stop program that day where your electronics, your paint cans, all those things that you should not be throwing out in the garbage, you can bring to the highway yard and dispose of them also on Saturday. So that's terrific. The other thing I want to mention about the medication take-back day, Saturday, again at the Highway Department with CAP is they have Narcan training available. They will show individuals 16 and older how to successfully help someone who has overdosed on drugs and give you a kit as well. It's a very, very good thing. If you know someone that has a problem with drugs, it's probably a very good idea to get a kit like this to maybe help save their life before the ambulance or police can arrive if they need be. Also, I wanted to mention the CAP March is next Friday. That's again on the other end of the spectrum, not with unused medication and such, but helping young children stay free and clear of drugs, alcohol, and any kind of vaping. It's a wonderful program that the school puts on at Pulaski Street at 9 a.m. All the children in the grammar school march. It's about a mile and a half long, and it's usually, I have to be honest, it's usually a very hot day. So I'll ask everyone if you come out and join us, please make sure you're dressing for the weather because it gets to be pretty warm out there, but it's a great way to see the community and see all the youth in our town. And they are our future and it's great to see them so happy and drug free. Those are my announcements, supervisor. Thank you. I'm wearing my drug free t-shirt. Yes. And I'm not allowed to say the color, but every year it's a different color, but it's my favorite color. Last year, Kyle Palmieri autographed mine. Yes. re-autographed by it. Yes. Very cool. And also we have the 4th before the 4th coming up at Grangeville Park, which is part of our America 250 buildup and celebration that the Chamber of Commerce is putting on. And with that, the 4th of July parade is happening, and there are applications on the town website for a float if you'd like to be part of that. So with that said and any other announcements, we'll be moving on to our open session, our very first matter, a matter surrounding the modification to approve site plan for River Edge LLC, aka river building supply 962 Berman Boulevard Calverton with our planner charters and I believe you have other people here if you guys want to come up you come so so very briefly today way back in 2007 by resolution number 801 if you need to the town board approved a site plan application for River edge LLC better knows Riverhead building supply up at a cow so it was a two-phase development just if you can zoom in on the small map they have approval for there's a vehicle maintenance building that's in this corner that's not constructed a warehouse building which has already been built another millwork and warehousing building which is here which is already been built and then a two-story office building that was part of the original approval so the applicant has come in to really start Phase two and is asking to change this two-story office building to a single-story warehouse that's actually slightly smaller if the town boards oh you know likely aware of the impacts associated with traffic with a warehouse rather than a two-story office are significantly less this better suits their needs so this is really just an easy modification to change from office to warehouse I reviewed the plans and they look really good it's gonna look like the buildings that are there already so this will help meet their needs a little bit better it's very simplified modification and we always thank Riverhead building supply for investing in the town of Riverhead and the amount of employees you hire and everything you do. So thank you. I want you to continue to succeed. And in terms of secret, we're good. This is consistent with our original determination back in 2007. So there's a simple resolution in your packet for Tuesday to approve this so we can get going. Excellent. And you're going to have all the equipment you need to build it, right? Thank you. That was tough, right? Yeah, that was tough. Big day. Appreciate you guys. Yeah, it was a joy. Thank you. That was easy, right? Yeah. Have a good day, guys. Thank you. Our next, we'll be doing our monthly reports, and so our first one is our matters surrounding our monthly code enforcement report with code enforcement officer Richie Downs. Join us at the table.

theme song for Richie when he comes to the table. I get to go first today. We know you're a busy guy, so we want to get you back out on the street. It's warming up out there. Code enforcement is picking up. So the report for April 1st to April 30th, we investigated a total of, or we opened up a total of 82. complaints these complaints included property maintenance I won't go through all of them I'll just name a few property maintenance 15 we had residential building without permits 13 and overcrowded housing we had five unsafe building structures we had to site plan complaints we had one and you can see the other complaints that we had there a building without permits yeah well it's warming up so we're getting a lot of people picking up the hammer and going to town without getting the building permits tickets and violations during the month April 2026 146 violations including the parents tickets notice of violations and that includes stop or quarters some of the primary violations included no CEOs front yard parking restrictions storage restrictions those are for unregistered vehicles on properties no demolition permits site plan violations those are the commercial properties and illegal occupancy and unsafe housing conditions amongst some others that are also on there I can't stand when people use their front driveway as some sort of used car parking lot before every car that doesn't work anymore in the driveways on the street in the backyard it's such a blighted look it wrecks a whole neighborhood yeah unregistered vehicles we see a lot of junk vehicles right all in the backyards the side yards yes enforcement activity during April continue we continue to focus heavily on unsafe structures illegal rentals overcrowding investigations and unpermitted construction activity throughout the town moving on to our rental properties we had 76 applications submitted the revenue collected for the month of April was 53,000 inspections that we completed were 82 and the total permits that were issued for the month of April is 127 as you can see a rental program continues to generate you know a significant revenue while maintaining strong inspection and permit activity levels which is this with the is this the accessory dwelling units that you're seeing this increase in? No, this is just the rental properties. Yep. But accessory dwelling units are required to get a rental permit, so it's inclusive. Additional notes, we continue to enforce illegal rental properties and overcrowded housing conditions. We have ongoing investigations involving unsafe structures and dangerous property maintenance conditions. We are planning to increase patrol in the months to come to combat property maintenance issues in the community we're hiring as you know to part-time code enforcement officers to address the residential areas throughout the town and they will be on patrol looking for various things we continue to focus on accessory apartments rental verification inspections and zoning enforcement matters and inclusive in that would be the illegal transient air BMPs things are picking up with that. We had cases that advanced the Justice Court and formal enforcement proceedings during the month. And that's about it. Mr. Chair, one quick question on the excavation and importation violations. MR. Yeah. How severe was that? MR. We're still – we issued Justice Court tickets on that. It was one property that we're dealing with, and it was off of Toomey Avenue. First you can tell the public when our new part-time code enforcement officers are starting. Absolutely. July 8th is their start date. Go home and clean up your yard today. Yep, they'll be training for about a month and then they're going to hit the ground running. That sounds great. Thank you very, very much, Councilman Waski. You're leading the charge. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, guys. I had a phone call yesterday about feral cats. I actually get a lot of phone calls about that. and they're basically asking what can be done about it. Was it a phone call about feeding feral cats? Feeding feral cats, trapping feral cats. Are you allowed to trap a cat and bring it to the shelter and have it fixed? It's a great question, and I'm not sure the code specifically addresses it at this point. there were some proposed legislation or code amendments done with respect to that but we didn't finalize it yeah we're seeing situations where people are feeding feral cats and on certain some properties the town of Riverhead properties and they're leaving a lot of this stuff that coincides with feeding the felines all over the place so aesthetically it just doesn't look very pleasing so there's really no mechanism right now in the code to address that so Yeah. Well, maybe I'll have to work on that. Sure. I'm going to make you the cat lady. Well, I think it's a good thing to feed the cats. I mean, I'm sure that, you know, there should be some provisions to kind of regulate it. Well, that was kind of the complaint that there's somebody going around that's feeding the cats and the colonies are getting bigger and now a raccoon has joined the colony. Oh, my gosh. That's what tends to happen. Yeah. Right. Yeah. pet gang activity yes all right any other questions our next matter is matter surrounding our town clerk report with our town clerk mr. Wooten to the table please thank you for joining us sorry to say my report won't be as riveting as that last one you have any feral cats on here you want to do yes tonight sold this one i know i just brought these only because there was a resolution added that's probably not your packet for this so it was added this morning so i just keep these so you can have them when you do your resolutions later um uh basically april was kind of a slow month for us i guess it was a transition but now it's picking up from may of course today and we've got a lot more but mostly was the foils were 239 yard sale permits were on the rise 31 we got already up over 50 for this month alone a lot of yard sales and fishing licenses a few shellfish licenses as you know that the public hearing was last week so that should be coming up hopefully in this next meeting to do ahead and start that funding that which we haven't done which is a good idea so that'll help us a little bit other than that oh we had a new finding will clerk and that children she started Monday she's great she's very she's I know she's on a civil service list for office assistant at this point but she's young she's anxious she's very good at the computer her English is perfect and her Spanish is even better so Jim can I ask you if somebody was to come to the building department for example and have like a language barrier could they utilize like would she be able to step out of the town clerk just to kind of help somebody like anybody needed anybody like that the departments yeah it's the whole idea we got to communicate with people so I mean she she certainly couldn't step into that role because anybody needs an interpreter thank you you know so I have no problem with that I don't know how many bilingual I mean sometimes I even go into code and force or get an odd to come in and help me sometimes when I have that it's problem so you know she's willing to help anyway I'm certainly not going to be selfish that way we have a big community we have to serve values so language should not be a barrier at all and that's about any questions good is that 239 just this month alone on foils after April just the last month alone we get a lot a lot a lot a lot of foils only because we track every foil so um you know it comes through us but they can go through next request and request mostly from the building for a CEO or they want to a lot of times the business doing it they want to you know they want to show a house they want to make sure there's no violations on it that's their active ceo so they're doing a lot of their work in the background through through uh foils but we track that to make sure and of course we get the phone calls when they aren't answered and they want to know and then we have to go back and look and find out who took it and sometimes they're rejected on their face because Because if you don't answer something specific, it's just going to be denied right off the bat. I mean, you've got to be very specific what you're looking for. You just can't say, just throw an address out there. Well, what exactly are you looking for? So it's a live and learn thing. We're learning it as we go along. And I think the public is starting to get more familiar with the next request, which is really personal. They ask you at the end when you do a FOIA request if you want to sign up. And all that is is just putting your e-mail address in and the contact information. then you can deal directly with I mean it's a back and forth right directly with the department which sort of takes us out of it some people get nervous when they say sign in they're like oh my gosh what am I going to but no you really should it's just it just allows that two way back and forth which is a good thing part of transparency your office does a great job explaining it to people people call and tell me and every time they speak to me they tell me that your office is very helpful with it so yeah we do sometimes they say well you stop calling no we don't you call it the wrong department Thank you, sir. We're very plump, you know. Just one correction, Richie Downs mentioned. The force of it, part-time officers are starting on June 8th and not July 12th. Oh, did he say July? Yeah. I saw that, July 8th. June 8th, coming up right away. All right, next one is matters surrounding our justice court with Councillor Pellet. Ms. Pilo? Welcome to the table. Good morning. Okay, everyone have copies? I have extras. All right, pretty standard stuff. Had one trial that resulted in a guilty verdict that accounts for some of these blight mitigation fines that were issued. some human services are on the lower end in April which is good as you can see probably for the first time ever we have no default judgments in April which means that people are coming to court and they're pleading and getting their fines in front of the judge we have a couple in the border quality which we discussed we may look into that for removal of the death lines so now We're kind of building a pretty robust fund for the water quality. So we collected $500 total in surcharges, those two 250s, and then the month before we had an additional 500. So we have $1,000 in that fund that we could use for that. Nothing else really out of the ordinary. Total of $26,505 in collected fines. And this is more of a May topic, but I know it was just discussed earlier with Mr. Downs, Investigator Downs. We are seeing a lot of tickets come through for the front yard parking. We had a lot on this past Tuesday. So they're definitely out there doing it with the part-time officers that we have right now. And I'm trying to create my own kind of database for the makes and models of the cars that are on the front yard so that when someone comes into court and they say, oh, I was just visiting for the day, we are kind of linking up the location where the car is parked and we're linking it up with their mailing address. So if their mailing address doesn't match up, then we know that maybe they are visiting. But if the code officers go out and they get another ticket and another ticket, it will become very apparent that they are probably living there and it will help us with the overcrowded housing, the investigations that kind of make that happen. So I'll give more on that next month, but I figured since we brought it up earlier. So that's what I have. I've got a trial coming up next, a week from today, and that one will be a report on next month. That's all. Thank you so much. Thank you, Victoria. Continue the great work. All right. Victoria, thank you for taking that extra effort and putting that database together. I think that down the road that's going to be very helpful. We're going to be helpful for everyone. Great. Thank you. Our next is matters surrounding our police report with Chief Frost. Morning, everyone. Morning, Chief. All right, I see everyone has a copy of it. Thank you for having me. Thanks for having me. We made a good rebound in April. One of my biggest things is obviously criminal incidents, which is on page 3 and 4. As you can see, the total, we dropped significantly from March into April, which is good to see. Our tickets issued are very similar to 2025. The non-criminal incidents are very similar to 2025. and total incident they're all kind of in close proximity which is on the first page 25 April and then there's 26 April so domestics are down miss council councilman Merrifield I know you you know yeah our revenues went up a little bit but again we're still battling with our alarm billing module which we I've been told from my administration that we have been making some leeway on getting the bills out and you know collecting you know the fees attributed to false alarms in the town

just getting it by mail or whatever that's what we're working on that's you know we did have it we did have it in our old record management system unfortunately when we went to this new system it doesn't have a module for that that's what we've been battling with basically wrestling around with automatically generated bill like 30 days out and email it if you had like a price somebody else made online so like yeah no that's what we're working on is just there is a company we actually looked into it but they take a lot of a lot a lot of the percentage of the alarm fees so we're trying to get a program in-house where it's done where we can recruit most of the cost behind it you know and the fees so also for the month of April we had no suspected non-fatal overdoses or fatal we did not have to Narcan anyone So that's great. Pretty much it. Excellent. Thank you. Chief, I have a question. The cameras, how is that working out now? Is that assisting in the number of cases that just plead? Because it's COVID. Oh, our body cameras and COVID, I'm sure it definitely does. I don't have the exact number, but now everything is on, is there. It goes to the district attorney's office. Everyone can see themselves in whatever situation they were in, and if they were subject to arrest. You know, it also has been helping a number of complaints against officers have dropped. That's what I wanted to ask you also. As well, just because now people know, you know, they're there, you know. And then sometimes if they do come in, we actually do. Like, this is what happened. We have it. You know, sometimes there's false allegations against police. and we can usually stop it right there and say, we watched the entire video and what you're saying did not occur in that realm. The way you described it. Correct. It stops the frivolous lawsuits, which helps the town in terms of hiring counsel to go represent the town in these claims, and they really pay for themselves. I'm very happy to hear it. Yeah, and the technology behind everything helps with criminal investigations as well. So it's a, you know, because we're sharing information with other departments where, you know, someone that did something in Riverhead, they're on a body cam in Suffolk County. So then we can easily, you know, access that with our, we have a detective from Suffolk County Police Department assigned as a East End FIO, like an intelligence officer. So he can access that. And then he's wearing the same clothing. You know, he left, did something here, whatever it may be. and then an hour later he has interaction with the police. But it goes both ways, though. So if we had the interaction and they are looking for somebody, it's a great help. I know there are costs, and I just want to make sure the public understands how very important they are and how useful they are in many ways, not just apprehending criminals but also protecting the town with any potential frivolous lawsuits that people want to file because they're looking for a payout. A hundred percent. Yes, a hundred percent. I think I'll see you in a couple minutes. You stay right here. You're not going anywhere. Actually, our next matter is our matters surrounding a change to parking on Sound Avenue with Chief Frost. Yes, and I will say I actually recently used body cam footage for one of my trials last month, and it was extremely helpful. It basically proved my entire case by hitting play. I didn't want to steal your thunder, but you had told me about that. That was terrific. I forgot to mention that.

Yes, that too. That was another case. For the Supreme Court case, when PD had to go in there, it gave us a great wealth of knowledge, seeing exactly how everything was going on in that Supreme Court case. A video is worth a thousand words. Yes, they've been very, very helpful to me. Okay, your picture is much clearer than mine, so maybe, okay, perfect. So, obviously I'm a member of the Traffic Safety Committee. I'm also a resident. I've noticed that on certain weekends, certain parts of the year, I actually have a video of it, I don't have it with me, but people going to this establishment are parking pretty much right to the corner. and you really cannot see east or westbound traffic on Sound Avenue, which is a 45-mile-an-hour speed limit. So I had my staff go out and try to see. I mean, this is what we measured. This is probably the best-case scenario. Again, it's quite expansive. It's 250 feet, but it'll give people a much safer northbound turn, either east or west on DeSalle Avenue, because usually you cannot see anything until the east or westbound car is actually in the intersection with Toomey Avenue. So I'm open to everything. I know Ms. Paolo had 100 feet from the corners, which I just don't want to keep coming back. So I don't know what everyone's thoughts are on it, but this is what my staff went out with a measuring wheel and kind of felt like that's like line of sight. So if you're coming to the intersection, so I'm trying to make a left going west, so that 210 feet that you see on the south side, at least you'll have a better shot of a car 45 miles an hour heading eastbound of actually mitigating that, making that turn. So again, I'm up to, I know it was... So I did, yeah, since our conversations, I did extend it to 200 just so that we have a clean number, if that works for everyone. Of course, we could do the Westerly side, we could do 150 instead. And the versions that I gave you all, I had a slight typo there. It's extending southerly, not northerly, and southerly. That's just for Tumi. My question is this. You know, I mean, I understand to round it up, but I'm just wondering, should it be rounded up only because if the officers were out there and did clean line of sight, I mean, that's the purpose of this, right? Yep, correct. Just so people can, anybody going northbound can get onto Sound Avenue without the east or westbound having a traffic accident. Understood. said but 200 I think 200 probably would be yeah I mean we could do round numbers we could do 220 210 170 150 yeah I mean whatever it I mean I just suggest so that it works you know you know so it's not arbitrary that's all I'm saying yeah okay if you have 200 you've changed it to 100 I'm happy with that okay just so it's easier to enforce also and really I mean the objective here is that you know public roadways should not be de facto parking lots I'm putting no parking signs up there as well yes once the code goes in it's effect you know we have some time for this but you can come to whatever the process is and the game plan in my mind is kind of exactly what we did last July for Young's Avenue with the trucks so that you know it's you know it's exactly how we did it last year we put it right into this section of 289 and then you know we ended up putting up the signs right before right after the vote at the public hearing yeah after everything's you know presumably after right you guys voted the resolution you know and Young's Avenue has been a great success ever since those signs went up we got an influx of tickets and then I guess the word got out because I mean I haven't heard any anything since this is good stuff I mean yeah it's just someone yeah like I have I'm in you know different cars I'm in older truck that doesn't really have the greatest acceleration and you know I've been it's been a couple close calls for me alone you know myself and then also the head in the vehicle traffic there is pedestrian traffic crossing as well a lot going on yeah trying to turn it's scary and Ross Ross we are also assuming that people are doing the speed limit that's correct so I mean you know if you have somebody coming down quicker you know obviously want that time might as long on top you quicker so did we want to leave a clean 200 on each and then of course I'll fix the mistake that I made about northerly and leave it just that southerly but other than that um 200. okay easier that way okay sounds good it's good thank you both thanks

thank you both our next is matters surrounding possible early retirement incentive for cseapba soa employees with myself uh the apollo and speaker from our personnel department So as they make their way down, this is conceptual today. And we want to... I think the Deputy Town Attorney, Ann Marie... Oh, yeah, I'm sorry, Ann Marie. Yeah, they're in the financial department personnel. Sorry. Finance department, my bad.

So, yeah, so we have the three of them. And, again, this is a conceptual idea that we want to bring to the forefront. We want to have this discussion. And so I've asked our finance department to put together basically a proposal of what things could look like without going into specifics of anyone's contract or what the actual incentive would be because we haven't negotiated that. And we need to, I believe, come to the table with that. So, Jeanette. I'd like to just first make a statement that this is not the first time. It's actually been brought up by you, Supervisor, with Ms. DiPaolo and Ms. Peeker in two executive sessions previously. And I just want to put on the record that in each time, we were provided papers for a short period of time and weren't even allowed to keep the papers. With any documentation with that, any numbers, without any names of employees. and after the second time the town board voted not to proceed on this matter so I just like the public to know that this is now for the first time coming to a work session after privately doing it in executive session twice and after the town board rejected it and now after you put information out in press releases and statements is for the first time now you're bringing it to the public and I just want the public to be aware of how this has generated and how it's come about and I just don't think it's fair that we were not ever given a full disclosure of exactly who the exact amounts how many employees and I just want that information out to the public I did speak to our town attorney before I approached it that way and that was personnel and contractual so I was advised to bring it to the executive session for that to lay it out and there were while there weren't names provided there were specifics which is why the information from all of us was given back to our finance department and so that thing and so it was the under the recommendation and so this is more conceptual to bring it back around and so so yeah so that that is kind of where I'm at so that but that's incorrect because it's this is a correct it's It's budgetary and it should be open to the public. When we put our yearly budgets together and we discuss the employee amounts, all employee salaries are open to the public and they're available to the public. When you are suggesting that you want to take monies from fund balance and distribute it to a certain number of employees, you need to put it out before the public. This is a budgetary issue. It's not a contractual issue. I'm not negotiating. It's either we're going to move forward. I'd like to see the savings. I would have liked to have had an opportunity to sit down with the financial administrator on my own and to study what the cause and effect is. I want to pursue any avenue that in the long run helps our individual taxpayers. That's why we're here today to do that. You need to be able to give the town board members time and to be able to do our own research, our own review and sit down. Not flashcards in an executive session. here, look at that savings and enclose it. We're not putting blind trust in you. You need to have the numbers. We want to be able to take this home. This has to be available to the public to look at, to see the financial impacts. If it's beneficial to the taxpayers, then that's what we want to do, and anything we can do to save the taxpayers. And if we have a substantial amount of interest earned on our fund balance, and that's taxpayer money, and we have to decide does it go directly back to the taxpayers and those that come off our budget, and that's why it's a budget issue, or are we distributing it? But if we are distributing it to a handful of employees, what is the long-term impact? It's not an immediate one-time savings. I want to know what happens in year two, three, five, and ten and how it impacts. We did this. Nobody on this board was a member at the time, but the last retirement incentive was in 2019, and I would like to see the study of that. So I would like to know exactly how many employees took it. what was the savings in year one, year two, year three, how did it impact, how quickly did others move up through promotions and skills, and what was the long-term effect? But you doing flashcards in an executive session and then going on social media, there's definitely not an appropriate way to handle this. Let us have an opportunity to do our research and make educated decisions on behalf of the taxpayers. I'm sorry that you don't agree with the approach that I took there, But I did speak to our town attorney to make sure that everything that I was doing at the time was the proper mode. I have reconfirmed with that to make sure that that was proper under the circumstances that I had. And so during that time period, I know that our financial administrator made it aware that those would be available to any of us to come in and to sit down and speak about. We just did not want them to. I didn't keep copies either in that way. So, yeah, so we're back here at TDABLE today to speak about it going forward, which I think is a good thing for all of us. And so I'd like for Jeanette to walk us through what is just a possibility and then see if we can get back to the table with our unions to discuss this as an advancement for everybody. So, Jeanette. Sure. So to start off, you know, when we completed the annual financial report for 2025 that was due April 30th, we came to the conclusion that the general fund had an excess of $5 million, which kind of sparked the conversation. And I guess Jerry met with some CSEA employees, and they had an idea. He's been meeting with them once a week, and someone had the idea of an early retirement incentive. And I have to admit, at first I was skeptical because I'm very conservative and don't really want to let go of any money necessarily. But I was asked to put the numbers together on paper, and when we did, I had the payroll supervisor help and run details by individual people who were actually eligible for retirement. And although we didn't publicize them because it hasn't completely been negotiated with the unions, we don't want to put people's names out there, positions, et cetera. And outside counsel actually advised us not to do that. So that's part of the reason we didn't. Pause for one second on that. Just my concern, for example, let's take the Water Authority. Okay, so we're constantly losing employees to taking positions elsewhere, such as the Suffolk County Water Authority. But in the Water Authority, if some of our top earners are there that have the knowledge and the long-term leadership there, and if a retirement incentive like this comes in and I lose all those top employees, what is the actual impact of emergency situations and replacing personnel? and replace it because those employees have specific licenses and degrees for that study. And so how long does it take us to get back to where it was? So just worry about it. So when you say, I don't want to give out employees' names or whatever. Well, eventually it will get there. But I think to make decisions like this, we should have to know how it affects each individual department. And so if we are losing the head of a large department, does it affect that department and its operations going forward? It's very difficult to staff the water department. Well, as you can see on the sheet, it's our union employees. So most of our senior leadership, our department heads, and our deputies are not. They're in management. And so this does not include that. It does include union employees in the water department. It does. Union, but not union. Not the contractual leadership. I'm just saying there is still the main brain thrust that would be there. So I think the difference from the last time, and I'll confirm, the supervisor did consult with the TAN attorney. I wasn't present, but it's my understanding from speaking to Eric, The prior presentation was actually specific enough, while it may not have listed names, it was specific enough that you could take the identified salary lines and identify who that actually applied to. It's very simple. You go to the first of the year, the resolution setting salaries. Not when it's in the Fax Court format, though. Right. Wait. Well, I'm just confirming the supervisor did speak to the town attorney. He took a position based upon that presentation. The intention here is to be very general. The points you're raising are excellent, and that relates to eligibility criteria who you could apply it to who you could exclude excellent points but that could be tailored if you adopt a similar plan and you want to move it forward so like yeah I just wanted to say that in addition the biggest thing I want everybody to understand about this is this is potential this is not guaranteed and one of the biggest things that I walked away from that meeting with is we were not given any specifics about anyone there were numbers that were floated around eight people six people numbers are real these are real people real eligible people for this retirement it doesn't mean they'll do it no and that's that's what I'm saying and what I understood also any meetings is good savings in my opinion well but there was other ways we could make savings and the things I brought up in that meeting were were that we need to digitize the building department, and that was going to cost $1.4 million at last check, and that's something that generates revenue for the town moving forward, not just the savings here, but continued revenue generating. We just had the clerk come in and talk about 239 new FOIL requests just in the month of April alone, and most of those go to the building department, which is one of the things that I wanted to see happen with that fund balance money. Another thing that could go forward that is generating revenue for the town and not just the savings with employees retiring early was the parking enforcement. We need to get the handheld devices, those contracts, the signage, and get moving on all that parking, which, again, is generating revenue for the town moving forward. So I just, in this discussion, I want the public to understand this may have potential, but those other alternative ways to spend the $5 million will actually generate revenue for the town moving forward continuously. Well, this will actually generate revenue for the town going forward for the next five years, and I don't think it's an either-or here. I think it can actually be a both situation. I really do believe that we'll be able to do all of these things moving forward. That is my heart. It's in the thing. I do want to say, because we have some of the union representatives in here and they do great, phenomenal work, but I just want you to know that we are very supportive of all our union personnel, but we just wanted the town board was never given an opportunity to actually sit down and really look at the numbers and study the numbers and what's in the best interest. And if it saves taxpayers money, that's a wonderful thing, and we'll support that endeavor. but I just want them for transparency for someone to flash a number go there it is see it good not give it back we can't look at it and you can't have it we're not going to give you any more information to study or to review or sit down with anybody it just was an unfair format so I just want you guys to be aware of how this was and then it went immediately out on social media that you know support my campaign to do well that's actually not true I did talk to our town attorney well no you said it was my campaign that's not true it was No, it's not and so that's an accurate information and so I'd like the record to be such tree that I'm the sitting supervisor I did ask our town attorney over and over if it was if what I was doing was Information so it was so that us research let us do it had been a month since we talked about it and it was So sat on the information you held it in your office and you shared [transcription gap] Correct. No, for a month I had the conceptual idea. The town employee came to me. Jeanette took the information back from me as well. You have your ideas with us in the open public spotlight. And we are here. That's what we're doing. That's literally what we're doing. Not an executive session and then demand that we all get on board with a conceptual idea with no figures. Listen, you can argue me all day long and we can sit here. Or we can have Jeanette present this. The public needs to know how you're operating. Well, that is how I'm operating. We came for something. Unclosed doors. We came for something personal. And you're not sharing the information with your fellow board members. Personal and contractual, which was shared. And now we're here today, whatever time it took us, whether it would have been another month or whatever, we're here to talk about the conceptual idea. So I am presenting it at this. Again, unfortunately, you didn't care for the way that I presented it myself in my office, and that's okay. Because it was an illegal matter of format. It was not illegal, but we're going to have Jeanette give us our things. The budgetary issue must go before the people. It's okay that you're wrong about that, but you are. You are. Definitely not. You are. Jeanette, we'll have that. Okay. So presented today are scenarios of individuals that these are actual salaries included in the list of eligible employees for an early retirement incentive. Basically, PBA and SOA at the top of the schedule, they need 20 years of service as a New York law enforcement officer in some capacity. So 20 years of service and they're eligible to retire. So we're starting with the top salaried police officer. The retiring salary, as you can see, is the 152,901. They have 7% longevity. And then Tier 2 retirement costs are 41.3%, which gives 67,568. So the replacement salary down below would be reduced to 72,067. That's a first year police officer. If you hire in at the academy, it'll be a little less. Tier 6 retirement for that employee would be $23,000. And then down below in the next category are the savings related to that position. So the salary saves you $80,800, longevity, the entire thing. Retirement, $44,000. Now we have an additional insurance cost, which offsets those savings somewhat, but not completely, for about $40,000 because we have to include the retiree insurance. because the original individual is already included and his health insurance is covered by the replacement, but we're paying for another retiree. So for police officers, you're saving about $96,259. But then we have to hire new police officers. That's in there. That's the new replacement in there. So just a question. I mean, we don't know how many police officers currently want to retire, correct? I mean, that's something that moves forward from this? We don't know how many people would take it or how many were eligible. Eighteen. And to your point, Emery, we have criteria. It's not like you could be on a job for ten years and then say, I'm going to retire. Yes. Okay. This is presented to be general, and then you move it along further, setting forth any criteria. That's what I, okay. Savings are conservative, so we've been very conservative. We've taken the top tier to the lower tier of that position, not necessarily the trickle-down effect, so this is a very conservative savings. Just to answer, I'm sorry. If all 18, for example, took it, it's not going to happen. I think it's hardly unlikely, but let's just go down the road. So 18, so that's $1.7 million. That money is coming out of fund balance, is that correct? this is savings that's the same as okay so down below the estimated potential savings for PBA and SOA this is as a whole this is everybody took it that's the last portion yes yeah so the estimated potential savings in total if everybody took it would be about 1.3 1.4 million and the first Joe's first year savings as a percentage of fund balance you'd be giving back basically 4.1% of fund balance what is that dollars and cents fund balance is 33 407 33 million point four so the 1.3 divided by that 33.4 you're giving you're adding basically four point one percent of fund balance as savings to the first year budget the one thing I want to point out is that these people already have a crude time off balances and they're already owed severance whenever they leave so the next line owed in retirement and in parentheses severance everybody that's eligible for this right now we that we owe them 2.5 million when they leave that's regardless of whether we do this in this year in 27 doesn't matter because if you do it and this is this is one of the guys spoke with HR if we every year we hold off on this right to be in the contracts they get more money so that and that is 2026 right yeah I understand that I'm just you understand the point of making that yeah it's more savings it's gonna be yeah that's what I have to pay out more this is as of like April the 2.5 million okay so the savings the 1.3 million in savings that's in what one year you're saying okay so now what what happens to the police budget next year okay so what Are you reducing the police budget? Correct. Okay. How much are you reducing the police budget next year? For whatever salary replacements and retirement replacements come in. And what's the incentive rate? That's a really sticky number here, to get these people to take this early retirement. Well, it's only 1.5% of the fund balance. Based upon an estimation. We would have to sit down. It looks big, but it's mostly their severance that they're due already. So it's not that we're paying them $4 million that they haven't already earned. No, but they get an incentive, a paycheck. A 1.5% of fund balance. No, but I mean just so the public understands what that comes to. That could be for an individual officer. An individual officer could walk out the door with the pension, with all the benefits, with the SCAD pay, and then also get a payout check of $80,000. That's not that high. Well, we've been told by our laborers. council not to discuss that in the setting which is why i need the public to understand that the average salary in this town many people do not make 78 000 a year labor council has requested at this point in time not to be specific because they have yet to communicate with the respective unions to get consent to disclose figures. That may be fair to say, but I just really need the public to understand the dollars and cents reality. Someone's not walking out the door in early retirement without some incentive, and that incentive is money. And I need the public to understand what that is. It always is. The whole concept of this, just so you all understand, I am a very conservative accountant I don't ever want to use fund balance I'm very conservative I like to hold it I don't like to put it in the budget because you want to save it for projects down the road or emergency situations but this one we have five million dollars that we didn't know about three weeks ago so we have five extra million dollars and I'm not saying to spend all of it we don't think all of these people are going to take it but anybody that takes it at this point is a savings to the budget for next year. Bottom line, that is a fact. It just depends on how many people take it, what your bottom line savings are. I just wanted to be clear. So again, this is $96,000. That's what you're saving in the budget next year for each one. So if 10 police officers decide to retire, you are, I need the unions to understand that you are taking then out a million dollars out of their budget next year? For salaries, benefits? Yes, we budget down to the person. We do that every budget season. So you understand that, so you are decreasing the police budget overall next year? For their salaries and related benefits, yes. Well, you are and you're not because you're calculating that based on replacement salary, correct? Yes, we would add the replacements. So the savings for one police officer to go is 96,000. The savings for a detective grade one to go is only 22,000. It trickles down, right? So if you have a top police officer go, it's 96, a detective grade one, 22. A sergeant, you're only saving almost 19. If a lieutenant takes it, you're only saving 17. So it does trickle down based on what you're replacing that position with, whether it's a first year police officer, which we did not do the academy rate. We did just a first year police officer. But does a first year police officer qualify for any of this? How many years must you be in to qualify? So like Dan Kincannon, we just hired him, right? We just hired Dan Kincannon. He doesn't have to go to the academy. So he comes in as a first year police officer. Okay. But is he eligible for early retirement? I'm sorry, I'm just trying to understand. This table was formulated for SLA and PBA based upon the eligibility criteria. 20 years in New York law enforcement a officer position so if you don't have the 20 years you would not be eligible well we're to would be to have an eligible list that can explain like that we can see what all the quality left absolutely roster I have an idea of what when I don't requirements are so people should ask us like this is what who would applies to more okay I would like to know why it was a CSE a town hall employee member that came to you with this idea and why we're focusing so much on the PBA and SOA when I mean the yes So I sorry the PBA and the SOA is what we're kind of concentrating on why wouldn't you first concentrate on the CSCA town hall employees? The savings are tremendous in the PBA and SOA because of the salaries the retirement rates it's a huge difference for a tier 2 versus tier 6 I think it's just where it laid out this morning. They're all included. CSCA is just next. they didn't get included i just from the executive board meeting um i felt like there was a greater push for the pba and the soa and i feel bad that the csea employee is the one that came requesting this to be to be looked at and i didn't feel as though they had as much skin in the game as the pba and the soa sure they did i don't think that was yeah it wasn't it yeah it wasn't intended they're in here I'm just saying that I didn't get the feeling that they were the priority because they're not they're not going to be saving as much but what that incentive would do here in town hall for the employees we would be able to be able to save money to increase salaries to increase those salaries so that we are competitive with other towns and we stopped losing employees Yeah, we did. That's part of the process. Yeah, there's never been a moment where there was a, this is where we've gotten to this morning, and I think we were getting to the CSEA, and I, yeah, definitely. And I'm so glad and so thankful for that employee that came and presented that, and I'm glad that Jeanette, when she first said, I don't think this is going to work, and then actually gave it thought and came back. So, yeah, that person is to be commended, and I'm so thankful people come in on Mondays and share their ideas. So it's good stuff. So what makes this, you know, I do, but I think the big unknown here is what the negotiation with the union is going to be, what they want. That will determine. I know we're not going to discuss it. You know, I'm just saying, you know, I just want that to be known. All right. Sorry. Go ahead. So if you walk through CSEA, we basically chose the average position eligible, average salary of the pool of eligible. And the list that we put together for this one, again, it's not set in stone, but we had to come up with hard numbers. So it's based on full retirement with no penalty. So CSE employees who are 55 years old with 30 years of service, 60 years old with 25 years of service, or 65 years old with 20 years of service. So we basically did full retirement potential. Can you just say those again? Wait, it's in the third? Oh, I have it. Thank you. And they could still do it, but we just did it without the penalty. They would get a penalty reduction if they took it earlier, which some people may want to do. I mean, you never know. But, again, if more people come forward, it's less impact to fund balance and that kind of thing. So if you look at the retiring salary of the individual we chose, it's 87,163. The longevity, this one happened to be 7%, which is 6,101. The Tier 4 retirement is set at 21.1%, which is just shy of $20,000. The replacement salary for this individual, which would be the P-STEP, was $64,252. The Tier 6 retirement is at 13.6% only, and again, that's where a lot of your savings comes into play. And then down below are all the savings. So the salary reduction, the longevity, the retirement, and then again, you're slightly offset by the insurance for the retiree that we have to increase for. So roughly $19,000 for the average salary. Salary, that's temporary. That's not really a salary. That's not their salary. That's just a temporary spot. Correct. So that wouldn't be... What's the regular spot? It starts at the PCE. 1.25% above that. So I have to ask, as the financial administrator, have we... So I have to ask, as the financial administrator, this money that you're looking to spend is through interest earned on our fund balance. Primarily, it's not all that, but some of it. I just have to ask the question of if, was this expected income instead? Like why was last year's budget not reduced? Why such a tax increase if we were going to be making- We never know. Interest can change tomorrow. So when I look back at how we budgeted for interest, we've always budgeted conservatively because the market can tank. So in 2020, we barely earned any interest in 2020 here. I think it was $50,000, 100,000 tops. And now because the rates are still so high, we're earning a lot more money. So is there potential to raise the revenues for 2027? Yes, there is. How high you want to go? a judgment call based on every supervisors budget so but historically for revenues we're usually more conservative than we are aggressive because if you don't meet the budget on the flip side you're kind of screwing yourself over and have to find that money at the end of the year so but it's not just revenues it's not just that that's the largest portion it's not spending as much expenditures as we had budgeted for and that you never know you know how much repairs and maintenance are going to be on this building or some other buildings I mean you know we don't know we look at the five past years of history when we budget for expenditures so and we gauge using that and we cut expenditures a lot the last few years that I've been here operating expenditure wise so most of our budget right now really is still salaries benefits you know yeah retirement insurance the operating expenditures are not really the most significant part of our budget but there are times where we don't spend as much for whatever reason it varies so just want to keep next year's budget as low as we can so do we do we would we have I mean there's more questions for them but it would we be willing to move this forward and begin a discussion I should see what the union should let us sit down with the financial administrator and let us do our homework I'd also with that I mean I I would like to see exactly what the unions want. We need to sit down and negotiate with them because that could be a non-starter based on what they come back with, right? Right. Because that's going to adjust. These could adjust these numbers one way or the other. So I think you should do your homework. Yeah. We have a series of resolutions, 2010, 12, 14, 19, 20, 21, that you should look at where there were early retirement incentives. They're all different. They're all unique. you know you haven't even thought about maybe you want to put in a provision for the Odin retirement severance to lessen the blow and span it out over time you have different things you can consider well this is the part of the homework okay so the study of the last one 2019 and what actually was spent on it 2019. 2019 was the one that. I think that should be reported. I'd like to see what we actually removed and what we actually paid out. What was the savings year one, two, three, and how quick did it take for those positions to increase so that they were back at their pay? I will tell you there will be a difference in how we budgeted back then versus how we budget now because we did not budget for exact salaries for everybody's position. So for instance, PD, they get their increases on their anniversary dates as opposed to January 1st. In years past, we budgeted the entire year's salary. So there was excess in the budget in those years. So I can do this, but it might not be a true comparison because we don't do that anymore. We budget down to the month that PD gets their anniversary. Right. So like we used to take a fifth-year police officer, they would get it in September. We would budget their whole salary at five years for that whole year. so the you'd be getting nine months of a top pay police officer that they weren't getting top pay they were getting fourth year police officer so the money there was then kind of rolled over to cover yeah where we don't do that now she with this with the open gov software they can do it by day she would ask you said you know so that and that could be distributed the entire board so that we and take a look at it. MR. And you had said about doing it over time. I think this year what Jeanette had come back with and expressed to me even this morning was that this one time, because using it in this one moment, doesn't affect the budgets going ahead. So there's no hit to that, and we do have that availability financially to do it. So it is something to look at, but that is what she expressed. MS. You didn't want to use the purpose. MR. To be clear, I wasn't. MR. reducing the budget definitely an impact no I meant it wouldn't be a negative effect on the budget if we if we spend out the severance over what we paid them and that then affects the 2027-28 budget but if we pay they get their severance either way now that's all paid up front but if we do the incentive all up front as well it's it's just a hit to this instead of being you know carried over so that I just wanted to clarify that that's all is there a way we can see sorry Bob good no no no no good there's a way that if I want to see if if you You have an officer that simply he or she should retire on their own and their benefits that go out and how that affects the budget as a whole as the police department because it's the same thing regardless of a retirement incentive when an officer retires and a new officer comes in and we've grown the police department over the years. I'd like to see what the natural course of coming in and retiring, how it affects financially and how it affects their budget simply by bringing in a new officer in, but usually the net on that police budget would be neutral from year to year as opposed to a one-time payout, and then you're dropping the police budget by could be half a million dollars. I don't know. And how long does it take for that money to be reallocated to the budget so that those positions go back up? So I would like to see what the comparison would be If these certain offices are ready to retire and they go out and they take their retirement package that's already in their contract, as opposed to what the natural cost is of savings over the next two to three years, as opposed to a retirement incentive, a lump sum coming out to reduce their budget the following year, what the impacts are and how long it takes to get back to that. That's exactly what that $1.3 million, $1.4 million is. If they all went, that's what it is. Okay, so now this is individual. This is what it looks like if everyone of them, if they left out this, she's just talking about in a group. Yeah, but then the budget stays the same. The police budget stays the same from here. No one accepts it. Or presumably, if you're not planning on cutting the police budget next year, presumably the budget will be the same as this year. You're going to still have your standard course of living and increases in the contractual things. But what you're asking is if a police officer leaves in a normal, regular way, This is still the same. They would still replace a police officer from 152 to this It's still the same so that the budget would still be decreased by Jeanette because it would be just a natural flow. We had a a Sergeant that retired this year he was replaced with a sergeant They didn't they So this year when it was like John Bell Matt Suprena So 2022 or 2018 when the financial administrator does that budget, if they didn't need that, they would automatically reallocate it in the department for somebody else that got a raise or bring it back in. So it's a natural course either way. This is just a larger one-time thing, but it's not hurting the department as far as officers or quality. No, it improves the budget process. In fact, it gives all of our – It would budget the same way the following year. It gives our PD and our CSEA the ability for those people that are ready to move up to advance. So you're actually trying to plan the severance payout and do it now rather than these people could all leave in 27 and you don't budget for them because they didn't put their retirement papers in yet. There's no interest earned in fund balance between 26 and 27. So next year we will have even more money. Potentially. Potentially, yes. So available for the pay. So I don't think that's an accurate statement. The only problem I have with that is that next year they're going to get increases. so whatever we I don't know what we're making on interest versus what those increases are going to be and what's the net effect of that and I think I just have a question you said we should read these resolutions for me I would I would say that I would like Jeanette to read these resolutions to see which ones I've been here for the 2019 because I was still paying the retirement incentive in 24 and I'm not fan of spanning it over four or five years because that's what that's what i mean in terms of my due diligence i'm not a fan but it's not my no i'm not saying that but i you know if you've read these okay i would i need your guy you know i need to do my due diligence and know why one is better than the other you know i i think it's worth moving forward and seeing what the unions want to do and then go from there because I don't have the full picture yet to make a decision without that information. What are the numbers that, so when you're saying you're saving $96,000 an officer, what is the payout specifically for that officer and what are the unions asking for? The problem is I can't speak to who's taking it because we can't get their answer until you agree on offering them something. The labor council has told us that. Well, I can't say to you, Officer D is going to take this and their buyout is $200,000. I can't say that because I don't know if they're going to take it. I could give you my best guesstimate, which is all I got. Like, I've been here for 26 years. I have a very good working relationship with most of these people. I can give you my guesstimate on who may take it, but I'm not Kreskin. I wish I was. So until you guys actually offer it to them, that's when they say I'll take it. And then if you don't offer it, I don't. So what is the offer on this? So with these numbers based on. I think you should take the time, study it, meet with the financial administrator. Because it's important here, we've already been advised by Labor Council. They made the decision. Do not get specific. So, in order to get some of the answers that you're asking and looking for, take the opportunity to meet with the financial administrator. Well, maybe we would have done that if we didn't hear that this was coming on for a discussion two days ago. It was something presented to us in advance to review. So are we going to move forward and discuss it with the financial administrator and the movement we need to do research and we need to have the opportunity to do that if the town board agrees you want the opportunity to do that you can do that and reconvene this for however long you need to do that research yeah I would say set up the meetings maybe with two of us at a time you know as soon as possible that's good thanks guys thanks for coming in appreciate it our next uh part of our open session is our resolutions with our deputy town supervisor Devin Higgins Justin I don't think our mic is on no I think he's using this okay that's 40 resolution number one authorizes removal of fixed assets two, radical acceptance of donation of plants from Gabriel since country plant farm may 2026. 3. Accepts the donation of the use of a marine barge to the Tanna Riverhead for the America 250 fireworks show.
