Thank you. [transcription gap] Good afternoon, everybody. Today is Tuesday, April 1st, 2025, also known as April Fool's Day. If we would all please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance, please. 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. Thank you, Bobby.

Okay, Councilman Rothwell, do we have somebody here for the invocation today? We do. I believe we are blessed with the presence of Reverend Lorraine DeArment. She is from the Riverhead Council, and so I thank you very much for joining us today and leading us in our invocation. Are you welcome. Happy to be here. Thank you very much. Let us pray. Oh, most holy one, as we gather here, on this first day of April, some of us are in the season of Lent. Others are getting ready for Passover, while still others have just received the blessing of observing Ramadan. We thank you for this opportunity to come together as a community. We ask for your guidance and wisdom as we discuss the matters before us, and we pray that our discussions will be marked by respect, understanding, and a genuine desire to serve the common good. May we listen to each other with open hearts and minds, and may we find common ground in our shared values and respect for our differences. Help us to make decisions that will uplift our community and strengthen the bonds that unite us. We pray for a productive and meaningful meeting, and we ask for your blessing on all things. We pray for the good of all who are present. In your name we pray. Amen. Thank you, Reverend. Okay, by the sea of blue we have here today, and the EMS people that we have in here, and the fire department people we have here, we have some proclamations to give out. A very important event occurred that was handled recently by police, EMS, and fire department, and with that I will leave it at that. Thank you. We'll turn it over to Councilman Rothwell, our liaison to the EMS people, and you have a letter I think you're going to read. Thank you very much, Supervisor. So I just will kind of go through what transpired. So on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, a 911 call was received for an aided case. An individual had collapsed on the bike path in Calverton and was unconscious and not breathing. At that time, Wading River residents Thomas Downey, who was driving his vehicle, saw the patient collapse and called 911, exited his vehicle, and began CPR on the scene. Officer Brandon Williams arrived on the scene and continued to administer CPR, where he was able to briefly regain a pulse. Just prior to the arrival of the Wading River Fire Department, the patient went into cardiac arrest and CPR was continued and administered by Officer Kiernan Fitzgerald. Upon arrival of the Wading River Fire Department, Paramedic Dan Manzella set up a manual defibrillator with a cardiac monitor, while EMT Cameron Rothwell administered oxygen to the patient. Together, the team administered one shock, converting the patient back to a normal heart rhythm. The patient then regained consciousness and was moved to the ambulance, where Chief Denise Gluck established an IV, while Paramedic Dan Manzella and EMT Cameron Rothwell obtained a 12-lead follow-up EKG. The team established the patient's vitals, and medical information was sent in advance to the hospital, Peconic Bay Medical Center, where they waited for the patient's arrival. The patient was transported to Peconic Bay Medical Center in an ambulance driven by Chief Keith Ryan from the Wading River Fire Department. Today, after further medical treatment, the patient has made a full recovery. I will tell you that I have had the personal opportunity to speak to his family members, and they are incredibly, extremely grateful for everyone who participated that day in the efforts that saved their son's life. And so, I cannot speak more enough about what you do every day and how you do it. Also, an extreme proud father as well. But we are extremely grateful for how you're doing. The family is extremely grateful for everything in which you have done, and what you continue to do on day in and day out. And so, it is great to know that you are there every day protecting us and ready to respond in any day, any hour, any moment. And so, I am eternally grateful. The family has specifically asked me to express their eternal gratitude for what you have done today in saving their son's life. So today, we are here to honor seven individuals. Police Officer Brandon Williams, Police Officer Kiernan Fitzgerald, Fire Chief Denise Gluck, Fire Chief Keith Ryan, Paramedic Dan Manzeller, EMT Cameron Rothwell, and Resident Thomas Downey. So I ask you all to please come forward and join the Town Board as we give you proclamations today.

What we'll do is, if you'll line up... Thomas. Yes, sir. Thank you so much. Great job.

Thank you very, very much. Awesome. Congratulations. Thank you very, very much. Keep going.

Chief. Thank you very much. [transcription gap]

Absent with us is Chief Ryan, who also was driving the ambulance that day. So thank you all very much. We also have Mark McLaughlin from Joe DiGiglio's office with a proclamation also. Yes. So our assemblywoman is in Albany, so she couldn't be here today. So I'm here on her behalf. I have to present to Cameron Rothwell, and she would like to also present on Park Mission's team for the rest of the first responders as well. So honoring a dedicated and highly skilled emergency medical technician with unrivaled commitment and heroic actions not only saved the life but also amplified the high standards of emergency medical service and reinforcing our community's trust and gratitude to our first responders. Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations. I'll sound the horn. Thank you so much. [transcription gap] Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. [transcription gap] Thank you. [transcription gap]

Thank you, Mark.

Thomas, get in there. Thomas, come on.

Good job. Magnificent six.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you all to the Rivette police officers that attended tonight as well. Thank you very much. Tim, we were never that young. We were never that young. Thank you. [transcription gap] This is exactly why I tell everybody there's no better community than the community of Riverhead and its people. We love you guys. Thank you so much. All right, moving on, do we have any announcements? Denise, do you have an announcement you'd like to make? I just wanted to let everyone know, and no, not because it's April Fool's Day, this is real, that on April 15th, when the kids are off from school, there is free skating, ice skating at the ice rink. But they do have to register with the recreation department, but it is free skates from 1130 a.m. to 130 p.m. So while the kids are off with nothing to do, that's a nice place to go. So free. Thank you. Okay. Ken, anything else? No announcements. Okay. Good. Moving on, Clerk Wooten, do we have any correspondence and reports? We have no reports for this meeting, but under correspondence, we received two letters, one from the Group for the East. That's a reference to Scott's Point. And we received a letter that was handed up at the last meeting on the Long Island Science Center in reference to a Resolution 263, and that was circulated to the Board. And that's it on the reports. And that's it for communications. Okay. That brings us right up to resolutions. We will open the floor for any comments on any resolution in the packet today. Comments on any resolution in the packet today. Thank you. Revitalization. Riverhead in progress. Awesome. Last thing you want to see is a delay. But there are some concerns about the agreement that I just want to share with you. Maybe you can do an amendment or you may need to table it. I'm sure. Hopefully that wouldn't delay anything. So the town is entering into an agreement with the developer for properties for staging. It includes the Arts Council property. And part of the parking lot behind the diner. The old diner site. Owned by the town of Riverhead. No problem. I see you're charging a fee. $150,000 per lot. Awesome. Well said. Concerns though. Three. One concern is that parking is going to get pretty tight. That's a pretty choice area for parking. If you look across the street here, the third street parking lot right now has three cars in it. One truck. It's usually that way all the time. As a member of the parking committee, we would recommend that you consider letting them use this lot. As opposed to the lot right down in town that's going to be, parking is going to get much tighter down there. So you may want to make that a consideration instead of the lot directly on the waterfront. Secondly, in the agreement there, it also refers to attachments C and D. Which they have an option to move. So they can move into from the riverfront lot and those are in the first street parking lot. They're the attachments. They show the map. So there are two areas in the first street lot that they can switch to in lieu of the one by the river. Okay. The first street lot is also very busy. Obviously. And unfortunately, unlike the other properties that are part of this agreement. It refers to. The town of Riverhead being the fee owner of the parcels. And you as the town board entering into an agreement. That parcel is not owned, a fee owned by the town of Riverhead. It's owned by the Riverhead parking district. So you're also the parking board. But you would have to, I believe, do two resolutions. One for the town owned property. As the town board. And then another resolution as the parking board. For the same things to apply to the first street parking lot. Because that's not owned by the town of Riverhead. It's owned by the town of Riverhead parking district. And it's two separate boards. Same people. But you're two separate boards. It's like, you know, a board of Citibank and a board of M&T Bank. You could have the same people on both boards. But your actions have to be independent. Because it's two separate boards. The way the contract is written. It's not set up for the two boards. You may have to amend it. Or break it apart. And then lastly, if it were to be the parking district properties. That were utilized. Would that money go into the town fund? Or would it go into the parking district fund if you rent the properties? So those are just the concerns that we see here. That you should take into consideration. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Marty. Do we have anybody else in house for comments on resolutions? Do you want to answer any comments on that? We have one online? Okay. We'll take the one online.

Hello. Can you hear us? Yes, I can hear you. Can you hear me? Yes. State your name, please. And where you're from. Colleen O'Brien. Echo Bog, New York. I want to speak on two resolutions. First on 303. I'd like to know on the purpose of the source of funding. Where that's coming from. It says grant or excuse me revenue transfer. And I would like to know what the purpose of that is. And I would like to know what the purpose of that is. I would like to know what's in that system. [transcription gap] did ask the community development director about that and apparently it's going to be covered under a grant for one of the budgets. What grant is that covered under? I don't remember off the top of my head. We have a lot of grants for Town Square projects in downtown so I don't recall off the top of my head which one it was. We can get that information for you. Okay if you could I really appreciate that. The second resolution I'd like to speak on is 2025-304. This is a license agreement with the IDA. It's a five-year agreement for $400 a month including electric, water, and sewer if applicable. One, there's no increase in rent over a five-year term and I'm questioning whether the displaced bid or Chamber of Commerce could be taking this space because they're a town agency versus the IDA which is a state agency. I'm going to say something you're not going to like but it needs to be said. This is like the ice skating rink. In my opinion it's another example of gross government fiscal malfeasance. Why are you constantly giving away the baby with the bathwater, with the bathtub, with the house? This is ridiculous. $400 a month? Thank you. Okay thank you. I knew you wouldn't respond. Transparency and Riverhead government. We have anybody else on? John? John McAuliffe, Rolling Woods, Roanoke Landing. I was looking for the number but it's the resolution that has to do with setting up the meeting in full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full full [transcription gap] at the options for the town square if you have those two five-story buildings flanking and squeezing it in or if you do away with those two constructions and leave it as open as possible we were we're at we went to the theater in quag a couple of weeks ago and and we're I guess it not in quag but in Hampton but West Hampton we felt the real comfort of an open space and the low lower buildings now we obviously can't tear down though it'd be nice to tear down the one next to the library we can't tear down the occupied apartment buildings but I think we're at the point where we should really seriously consider as you are discussing confiscation of that land whether it's in the interests of the town over the long term to have those two five-story buildings flanking and squeezing psychologically and physically the the town square thank you thank you John do we have anybody else up we have one online again so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so Can you hear us?

Second. Vote, please. Waski. Yes. Murrayfield. Yes. Kern. Yes. Rothwell. Yes. Hubbard. Yes. Resolution is adopted. Resolution 309.

Is that me? Yeah. Mine, it says Councilwoman Murrayfield. The last two were messed up as well. I just want to... Before I read this, I want to address Marty's concern. And as long as we have Dawn and Amory here, I totally agree that we have parking not only in this lot, so something to consider, but also the lot over here to... If we don't amend this to move that, that we do make that these lots available to the workers as opposed to downtown. So we free up the space for the people downtown. So what do you recommend we do? ! So in the license agreement, we have the ability to relocate the construction employee parking from the south side to the north side. Also I'll call to your attention, it's a license agreement. They have no property rights. Technically could the town at any time amend the agreement? Yes. If ever a town requires use of municipal property, we could amend the license agreement. So I would... I mean, I would like to do that. You know, just because... You know, I go through the north lot all the time and it's full. And I know the south lot fills up. So to have all those additional cars from construction workers doesn't make a whole lot of sense when we have all this empty space up here. So I'll let you guys... I'll let you figure that out. Right. I mean, I think it's premature. I think... You want to wait and see what happens? Yeah. I think we can... Well... We can assess. I mean... I think... [transcription gap] I think... I think... I think... [transcription gap] I think... If it has to be changed, we can change it. Yeah, I mean, the only reason why I'm bringing it up is because I see it all the time. I don't want to wait and see. And as it gets warmer, there's even more people. That's all I'm saying. Okay. So if you'll make that, I'll go ahead and vote for this, but as long as you'll make those changes. I think we can make them as we go along, right, as we proceed. If there's any issues that arise, we can adjust. It's a license agreement. They have no interest in real property. And Heather Wood has demonstrated their willingness to work with the town, so I don't foresee that being a problem. I foresee it potentially being an issue as the town square is developed and we have our construction employee parking. When potentially the reuse of 127 comes along, that will create probably a great... greater need to relocate off of a downtown site. We have the Second Street property. We have the Roanoke property. We have Town Hall parking here. We have the TOD site. So it's going to be a constant and continual adjustment for the town while these development projects are going on. Thank you. And I'm going to apologize in advance. So you can see this says Merrifield. Why yours says me, I don't know. Anyway. I don't know. I told you what it was about. I'll take it. It's an April Fool's joke. Thanks, Eric. Approved staging license agreement with 203 East Main LLC in connection with Town Square project. So moved. Seconded. Vote, please. Waskie. Yes. Merrifield. Yes. Kern. Yes. Rothwell. Yes. The parking district would please email me. I'm going to go ahead and do that. I'm going to go ahead and do that. Email us. Send us any notification if any problems reside or happen as we go along. So I vote yes. And Hubbard. Yes. Resolution is adopted. You may find out, Bob, we regenerated that last night because there was a couple of changes. So if you've got an old package, you're probably not going to be in line with the movers and the seconders. All right. Just pay. So just give me a nod. It's your turn. Okay. I'll give you a nod. Okay. Resolution 310. Rejects bid and authorizes the town clerk to publish and post notice to bidders for rebid 203-213 East Main Street Sewer Design Contracts Sewers. So moved. Seconded.

It was a D. Okay. Yeah. It should just be LII. I didn't get that clear. [transcription gap] My understanding is Mack can confirm, but I think the letter stays. There's just supposed to be a space. Debra Ruhlman, Oh, that was my misunderstanding. When you had said it earlier, Devin, I thought that was not, that the D was not part of the numerals. Devin Lundquist, No, it's not part of the numeral. It's a subsection. So L2, whatever number that is, because I don't even know. Debra Ruhlman, 52? Devin Lundquist, 52 has subsections. Debra Ruhlman, So you want, what do you want in between? Devin Lundquist, So it's L2, then subsection D. The D is correct. Debra Ruhlman, Subsection. Devin Lundquist, It just should have a space. Debra Ruhlman, 52? Devin Lundquist, 52D. Debra Ruhlman, Oh. Debra Ruhlman, Okay. Debra Ruhlman, Not subsection. Devin Lundquist, Well, it's a subsection, yeah, because. Devin Lundquist, That don't make the Roman gods angry. Debra Ruhlman, Okay. Devin Lundquist, The D remains. Debra Ruhlman, All right. Thank you. All right.

Second. Vote, please. Waske. Yes. Merrifield. Yes. Kern. Yes. Rothwell. Yes. Hubbard. Yes. Resolution is adopted. Resolution 325. So moved. Seconded. Vote, please. Waske. Yes. Merrifield. Yes. Kern. Yes. Rothwell. Yes. Hubbard. Yes. Resolution is adopted. Resolution 326. Grant Special Permit for the Riverhead Charter School Portable Trailer Application, 5117 Sound Avenue, Riverhead, New York Suffolk County Tax Map Number 600-20-4-3. So moved. Second. Waske. Yes. Seconded. Vote, please. Waske. I will reiterate what I have said from day one. I believe that the charter school entered into a lease agreement for the property on Sound Avenue, knowing, fully acknowledging what the maximum capacity was there, and I vote no. I'd just like to state that I vote yes for the following reasons. This was given to this charter school by special permit, and I'd be happy to say that I would continue to build. And I believe after the hearing that was held that there may be an issue that once given a special permit, since this was for a school, that the charter school would have the ability to continue to build. So with that in mind, I believe that in an effort to avoid any potential litigation or problem wherein we were to lose a lawsuit and they could continue to build as much as they wanted, I believe this is a good settlement. In that it's very restricted in the number of trailers that they can utilize. Two for students and one for administration. I feel that there are a number of criteria set in this, that those trailers must remain out of sight from the front of the road, that there is a removal plan with regard to this, and most significantly, that they cannot build anymore at any time in the future whatsoever. So I think with that in mind, and also recalling the number of trailers that they can use, recalling the number of students that came forward, I do believe for children that this is a very good school. And I also feel that this particular applicant, while they did the wrong thing initially and did build the trailers illegally on the site, when required to remove them by the town, they did do that. Unlike other individuals that have made applications to this town who have built things without permission and never removed them. Thank you. [transcription gap] that this particular applicant was trying hard to follow the rules of this town and I do feel for the very limited use that these trailers will be allowed and the very limited number that will be allowed I feel that this is a good compromise and therefore I vote yes curd yeah I'm just gonna make a statement I did get your email on it and I will say this we listen to all the concerns and the former emails that we got and this is highly restrictive I went over there the other day looked at the screening and not only that but they do have to put up a bond for removal of the trailers so this is not going to be something that goes on forever they are seeking another site as you probably know and the other residents hopefully know so for that I'm not going to deprive the kids of their education I'm gonna vote yes because I think it's a good thing that we have a lot of people that are expecting this so I do have a clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear [transcription gap] clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear clear around the occupancy code enforced by the fire marshal's office and start setting up trailers to allow additional students to enroll in that they knew exactly what they were going into exactly as they enrolled them in the younger grades as they were transferring them up so I think they were well aware of the situation that was ahead of them I vote no tiebreaker I agree a lot with what all four of you have said but I will say that I did request that covenants be put in place they have been put in place that I'm satisfied with there is a decommissioning plan with a bond being put up they are in contract to build a new school up on in Calverton up off of Fresh Pond Avenue and with all that said I think it's a good thing to allow them to continue to grow and continue to grow. I think it's a good thing to allow them to continue to grow and continue to grow in terms of having options for students to go to different schools instead of just having one and I'm pretty satisfied with the with all the covenants that are in place so they have after they made the first mistake as was pointed out they did remove the trailers from the site and at the end of the day my biggest concern is not so much their trailers as it is kids being able to get the opportunity to get an education so I vote yes. Resolution is adopted. Resolution 327. Pays bills. Seconded. Vote please. Yes. Kern. Yes. [transcription gap] Resolutions adopted resolution 328. Authorizes non protante legal actions against the owner of the property. Yes. Yes. Second. américano's américano's américano's américano's américano's Rothwell? Yes. Hubbard? Yes. Resolution adopted. That concludes the business. Okay, that's all of our resolutions we have on hand today. Now I will open it up to comments on any matter. Comments on any matter. We have one online. Okay.

Hi, good afternoon. Kathy McGraw from Northville. I'd just like to make a quick comment on the conditional negative declaration that you have approved for the amended site plan of Island Water Park. I understand that you have two letters from a couple of secret and a letter from a couple of secret letters. Experts. The group for the East End and Barbara Blass, a former board member and longtime planning board chairman. Both have pointed out that your conditional negative declaration on this amended site plan is contrary to law for a number of very solid reasons. But the one that jumps out at me is that this proposed action is a very solid action and that the amended site plan should be a type one action, not an unlisted action as you have categorized it. This town board acknowledged this when you classified a prior amended site plan for Island Water Park as a type one action. And when you did so, you stated that you were doing so because SECRA requires that any changes of use and changes to an original site plan that was classified as a type one action must also be classified as a type one action. And you know that on Water Park, the initial site plan was indeed classified as a type one action. So it appears to me that you know what SECRA requires, but for some reason you're ignoring that for the current, and I'm not even sure if you're aware of this, but for some reason you're ignoring that for the current amended site plan for Island Water Park. And so I'd just like to know, Mr. Howard, in your opinion, do you disagree that this is a violation of SECRA? Howard Howard. I disagree. Can you explain why? We have our, one of our planners coming up to discuss the determination. Great. Thank you. So the section in the Riverhead Town code that refers to the environmental quality of the land, the section in the Riverhead Town code that refers to the environmental quality of the land. The same thing in environmental quality review, where it says parking, parking facilities of 50 spaces or more. That code was never intended to classify every action. So by that logic, if there's an existing commercial shopping center on 58 and they want to do facade renovations by that logic, that site plan would be considered a type one action. This issue actually came to light for previous planning board counsel, Dick Ehlers. Karen Gleth was reviewing a site plan application at the target site, site uh the target property on 58 and that specific question was raised uh dick ellers at that point offered an opinion that the code was not drafted to sort of capture every single action on a site with more than 50 parking stalls it was relating to the creation of 50 or more parking stalls allen water park was not creating 50 new parking stalls as a result of their application it was amendment to the site it did not result in the creation of new parking to the comment that the prior staff report i will acknowledge i did write a prior staff report again that was reviewed by a prior planning director and was approved under his recommendation in terms of secret requiring every amendment to a site being classified as a type one i just i don't find that to be accurate and mr bergman the language in the resolution that indicates that ! the application should be reviewed by the dec and the suffolk county health department those agencies would review this proposed action by island water park either way correct correct and i did i did receive those comments and we will respond to them which is requirement under the conditional negative declaration under secret so we will respond to that and secret for a condition negative declaration does allow for minor amendments to a condition negative declaration uh doesn't really set a threshold for what's a minor amendment or a substantial amendment uh it speaks really if there's any significant issues that were raised in terms of mitigation of a proposed project um but again you know the the comments we received were not necessarily relating to any new factors or new mitigation that would be required under that application it was more procedural so i think we can correct that pretty pretty easily but again we will formally respond to all the comments that we receive that are submitted to the town clerk so you are correct in that regard so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so But you're comfortable then that this doesn't need to be a type one action? Is that right? Male Speaker 2 Male Speaker 3 Ms. McGraw, I believe the town board expressed their opinion when they voted in favor of the resolution save councilwoman Merrifield. Female Speaker 2 Female Speaker 3 Okay. So the opinions of the two experts that have written in about this have no sway. Okay. Thank you very much. Male Speaker 2 Male Speaker 3 Ms. McGraw, we also have experts that work for the town. trust the experts in our planning department. Thank you. Ms. Thanks. Mr. Do we have anybody else online?

John? Mr. John Cullen, North

of Also. Just want to mention, I don't do the Facebook thing, but I do read the comments on Facebook. And this morning, there was an article from Riverhead Local that Alec put in dealing with the Long Island Children's Science Center. And they've had almost, when I left my home, they had almost 150 comments in there. And I think 150 of those comments were to keep that Long Island Children's Science Center where it should be, right there in the town square. I hope that you take a chance and read these comments. Some might offend you. It's probably out of frustration. But I hope that you can take the time and see what the people of Riverhead would really like to see in that community. Mr. Thank you. Thank you, John. I don't think anybody up here on this board does not want the Science Center at that location. But the Science Center needs to be able to prove that it can do it at that location. Hence, we're having a work session coming up next Thursday about it. There's a lot of work been going on behind the scenes, but we don't run and put it into the media because it gets twisted a lot of times before things are finalized. So we prefer to do our work, and when we're ready, we present it. Mr. So to piggyback on what John just spoke about, I'm Sean Kenna. I own Cucina 25, also Crafted, which is in question. I'm also on the building at 16 West Main. You know, this has been a surprise to me and my partner, obviously. This board, I mean, again, I've been very transparent with everything possible. I've been very, talked with Dawn Thomas. She's phenomenal. Don't get me wrong. Mr. Sean, what is it that you're saying? Mr. I'm not going to answer that. I'm just saying it's a surprise. Mr. That today with the resolution of trying to absorb the lease itself. I mean, you and I spoke about this, which was last week. Mr. You've been spoken to by many people in this building. Mr. I approve it because that's not true. Mr. Sean, that is very true. Mr. Mr. Hubbard, respectfully. Mr. And it's been going on. Mr. You told me this last week. That's how I kind of got the idea that it was happening. So it's not that it's been a project. I was involved in the project from day one, and then slowly but surely I got excommunicated out of the project in general. Mr. Sean, that's. Mr. I'm just, honestly, Tim, I'm being very respectful. I was put in for the project in the beginning. I have all the plans from the beginning. I spoke to Dawn earlier. But slowly but surely I got pushed out, which I thought I was in a position of understanding where we stood when it came to what the next step was. Not knowing that I was going to get, you know, again, nothing against Alec, to yesterday asking me for a statement. I don't know. I had no idea. So it's not fair, you know, because, again, I invested a lot of money downtown. Now I'm getting treated like I didn't do anything downtown, you know. And that's just my opinion about this whole scenario. It's, you know, the communication definitely fell off at some point. I'm not sure where, you know, because, again, I respect everybody on this board. I have no issues with anyone. Mr. Talk to me after this meeting. Mr. Absolutely. Mr. Because I had a conversation with a couple people that earlier today that you might be interested in hearing about. Mr. Okay. That is fine. Mr. But I also want to state for the record that we have worked with you. Mr. Okay. Mr. But there is no alternative location. Mr. Right. Mr. So for you to get up there and say this took you by surprise, it's a little bit disingenuous. Mr. I would disagree with that only because, you know, months have gone by with no communication. And that's obviously via email with Ann Marie, anybody. It doesn't matter. My lawyer, you know, reached out and he put his proposal out, never got a response. So that's, you know, to me that's disingenuous, as you just said. So, you know, with that being said, again, I respect everybody on this board. Mr. Mm-hmm. Mr. Thank you. [transcription gap] YOU KNOW I WANT TO HAVE MY VOICE HEARD LET'S MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN I'M ALL I'M I LOVE THIS WHOLE THING I LOVE THE PROJECT I LOVE THE IDEA OF IT BUT LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN YOU KNOW SIMPLE AS THAT I JUST DON'T LIKE YOU KNOW HAVING TO COME TO THIS PODIUM TO SPEAK MY VOICE YOU KNOW SO I THINK YOU'VE BEEN AWARE ALL ALONG THAT THAT BUILDING THE PROJECT HAS BEEN DESIGNED TOWARDS THE TEARING DOWN OF THAT BUILDING SO BEFORE YOU WERE ON THIS ON THIS BOARD BUT BEFORE YOU ON THIS BOARD THAT WASN'T THE CASE IT WAS ABSOLUTELY THE CASE AND I'VE BEEN ON THIS BOARD THE ENTIRE TIME THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN ON THIS BOARD UM NOW FOR OVER FOUR YEARS RIGHT IT'S BEEN SIX YEARS OKAY SO YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ON THIS BOARD THE WHOLE TIME WE PURCHASED THE BUILDING WHY I I VOTED I PURCHASED SOMEONE ELSE FIRST I'M NOT TO ARGUE WITH YOU BUT I BUT I BOUGHT IT I BOUGHT IT FROM ANOTHER GENTLEMAN BUT THERE HAVE BEEN AND THEN I PURCHASED IT AFTER OVER MANY YEARS AND YOU KNEW THE CONSTRUCTION I'M NOT SURE I'M NOT SURE YOU'RE FULLY AWARE OF THIS I'M NOT GONNA I'M NOT GONNA SAY YOU'RE WRONG BUT I'M NOT SURE YOU'RE FULLY AWARE OF THE EXACT EXTENT OF WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED AWARE OF THE ONGOING COMMUNICATIONS THAT THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY HAS YEAH AND THEY'RE PHENOMENAL THEY'RE FIND NEW HOMES FIND DIFFERENT THINGS FIND GRANTS FIND ALL THE DIFFERENT POSSIBILITIES TO MAKE YOU SUCCEED BUT INEVITABLY THE BUILDING IS COMING DOWN BECAUSE NOW NOW IT IS YES CORRECT I AGREE SO EVENTUALLY IT WAS COMING TO CONSTRUCTION DAY AND THAT'S THAT'S WHAT'S APPROACHING VERY QUICKLY YES WITH THAT IN MIND WE HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD ON THIS AND I HAVE NOT THIS IS ABOUT NOT ACCEPTING ANY OF THE OPTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT BEFORE YOU OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS SO YES AND NO BUT THIS IS ABOUT COMMENTS I MEAN OBVIOUSLY I GET EVERYBODY ON THIS BOARD VOTED YES TO OBVIOUSLY DISSOLVE THE LEASE UM BUT THIS IS NOT THIS IS NOT UM YOU KNOW I'M GIVING MY COMMENTS SO I'M NOT TRYING TO DEBATE WITH YOU OBVIOUSLY UM I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR HAVING TO HEAR ME OUT DON'T GET US WRONG I WANT YOU DOWNTOWN I WANT YOU TO HAVE A THRIVING BUSINESS DOWNTOWN BUT THE BUILDING HAS TO COME DOWN AND SO WE WE'RE TRYING TO FIND ALTERNATIVE YOU KNOW PLACES FOR YOU WHETHER IT BE THE INTERM OR LONG TERM BUT WE WE HAVE TRIED SO YOU CAN'T SAY THAT YOU HAVEN'T HAD THAT COMMUNICATION THIS SHOULD NOT BE A SURPRISE YES DAWN DAWN AND HER HIS TEAM HAS DEFINITELY BEEN VERY HELPFUL I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT THE TOWN THE NEW TOWN SQUARE IS IMPERATIVE FOR FINANCIAL SUCCESS FOR ALL OF DOWNTOWN MAIN STREET I FULLY AGREE I FULLY AGREE SURE JUST IF YOU CAN JUST STICK AROUND A COUPLE MINUTES AND I I GOT SOME INFORMATION FOR YOU WE HAVE ONE ONLINE OKAY

DRUGS DRUGS Good afternoon, Ron Hariri. Can you hear me? We can hear you. I'm interested to see that you've asked what you can see in terms of the town science center achieving its objectives, particularly since your entire town square project is based upon clandestine discussions with an unvetted master developer. I would note that the standards in connection with the conveyance of town property include review of financial statements, review of financial commitments, and the like, including a detailed plan. None of it has been publicly provided. So what's good for the goose is good for the gander. If you are based in condemnation proceedings, seizure of property, taking of property, it would be good if you had a proper law. I'm not a fully vetted master developer, not one of Riverhead's friends and family network. On another note, I note that your favorite developer, Mr. Hubbard, someone you accepted thousands of dollars from in campaign contributions, Greg DeRosa, of G2D Development, with two projects downtown, has been arrested for fraud. Can you tell us? What steps you are taking to assure the IDA doesn't continue to give away benefits to fraudsters? Are those your comments, Mr. Harari? I'm looking for an answer, or are you taking the Fifth Amendment, sir? This is open for comment, not requisition. It's public comment, period, and you've been told that repeatedly, Mr. Harari. You've also been told repeatedly that when the time comes for a qualified and eligible hearing to be had, where at? Financial information. Financial information regarding the master developer will be made available to the public. That will be published in post in accordance with the law. You've been told that repeatedly. This is at least the fourth time. All right, let's just clarify another point. I've noted that Long Island Business News has reported that your favorite developer, Mr. Hubbard, is under investigation from the FBI. Will you admit or deny whether you or Riverhead officials are under investigation? Are you clear? [transcription gap] Are you clear? Are you clear? [transcription gap] Are you clear? [transcription gap]

Did I say today was April Fool's Day? That really never just happened. Oh, okay. Sorry. Do we have nobody else online? John? John McAuliffe of Roanoke Landing. First I wanted, I don't know how many people saw 12 Angry Men at the Suffolk the last few days, but it was an extraordinary performance. And I gather the first time live theater has been at the Suffolk, which surprises me. But in any case, it was as an evening of theater of tremendous quality. But also they provided an opportunity for students from the area to come and see a show and be introduced to questions about how the legal process works and what actually happens in a jury room. And I think that's a great thing. And I think that's a great thing. But also there was a lot of talk about the role of judges of the jury room. And they ought to be commended for that educational role. Judge Hulse participated in the talk back, was also eloquent and very informative, including a number of us were struck by the fact that it was 12 Angry Men. There were no women in the jury. And she observed that at that point in the 60s, women simply weren't on juries. And so we have to. recognize how far we have come. I wanted to quickly follow up on what I said before, which was talking about the architecture of the town square and the environment of the town square. From what the person, the crafted person just said, we're talking about, if I understand the geography, we're talking about the east end of the square. The science center is the west side of the square. Both will affect the overall environment. I hope that your discussion of the movement against the science center, first of all, I hope you resolve it through your private conversations, but also I hope that if we get to that point of that hearing in May that the larger impact on both sides, the public and the private, will be considered, and also that there be the maximum amount of transparency about who in the private sector is going to gain from this use of public resources. I mean, there's lots of stuff talked about and things show up in articles, but I think as much as possible to have transparency about what the underpinnings financially are would be very helpful. Thank you. We have one more online. Okay.

Hello, can you hear me? We can hear you. Hi, it's me again. Sorry to bother you guys. Not really, but it's April Fool's Day, so I guess I can get away with that. I just have a question.
