Phone lines are open and you may begin. >> Great. Thank you, Matthew. Good evening everyone and welcome to the East Hampton Town Board meeting of Thursday, September 4th, 2025. Carol, if you could please read the roll call. >> Council member Flight, >> present. >> Council member Lee, >> present. >> Council member Rogers. Council member Cal Pemont, >> present. Remotely. >> Supervisor Burke Gonzalez, >> present. If we could all stand for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge algiance 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

002justice for all. >> Love it. >> So, tonight we have two public hearings >> followed by our public portion and then we have resolutions to do the business of the board. But before we start, we have the esteemed Hugh King, our town historian here. Welcome, Hugh. >> Thank you, Madam Supervisor. I want to talk about the Amistad. Um, you I said you there was a resolution from the town board and then there was an event down at Colton Point, but most people know about the Amistad from Stephen Spielberg's movie. Well, he missed Montalk at all. So, with that, here we go. You're gonna correct the record. >> Pardon me. >> You're going to correct the record. >> Well, I'm going to add to it. >> Okay. >> I don't want to be correcting Stephen Seal,

003please. >> After an arduous journey from their home in Sierra Loney, Sierra Leone to Havana, Cuba, that the slaves were put on a ship called the Amistab for a three or four day trip to Porta Prince that left um on the night of July 1st, 1839. The prisoners were able to break out of their shackles. They armed themselves with sugarcane knives and crept on deck. They killed the captain. They killed the cook. Took two other people overboard. But they kept the two slave owners, Don Jose Ruiz and Don Pedro Montes, whose lives were spared because neither Sinu sink or the escaped slaves could s could scale sail a schooner. Um, Sinke then ordered Montes to sail the Africans back to their homes in Sierra Leone. Now, Montan was rightly afraid to sail a ship designed

004for a short coastal journey across the Atlantic. So, what he did uh and he also realized he'd be killed as soon as they got to Africa. So, when the sun was visible, he steered the Amastad in the southeasterly direction during the day. Then at night, he brought the ship gently around to the north to the west and hope finding a vessel to rescue him. So, they zigzag up the coast. Um eventually the Amistad was badly in need of water and was c coasting along the southern shore of Long Island in August of 1839. Sinke ordered the boat to sear off the light at Mtok Point, but the tide drove the ship to Cologne Point. Okay, just north of the hamlet of Mour. He knew this wasn't Africa, but he sent a small party ashore to

005get water and provisions for the voyage home. Since a small fortune in and money had been found on board, the slaves were able to bring money on shore and return with a bottle of gin, some p potato potatoes, and two fat dogs. Where did they get that? I can't I but not able to find out. A shagwan wasn't open yet. Okay, so heartened by this, then sinke went ashore with another boatload of Africans. The men were filling casts of water for their long trip home when they encountered two men from Sak Harbor. Captain Henry G and Pelletaya Forom who were gunning in Montre attempted to convince Captain Green to sail the Americans the boat back to Africa. While the captain was considering this strange offer, a United States brick Washington on coast on a coastal

006surveying mission uh came around Colon Point. They wind up capturing Sinke and all the um um the rest of the slaves and then the story goes on to New London. But this took place in Montalk. That's why we have that event down there all the time. And we have to thank um um Mia Seric and the Malkque Historical Society, Dr. George Gre, Brenda Simmons, and the Discovery Amistad people and the town board for continuing to mark this event. I did see council member Lee down there, but he wasn't dancing, so I didn't know. >> Oh. Oh, you I was >> Oh, you were? I missed that part. >> Okay. So, the next and at the next meeting, I'll be talking about the hurricane of 1938 because it is September. Okay. Okay. Prudence, go for it.

007>> Thank you, Hugh. >> Okay. So, we're gonna prudence, we actually do public hearings before we get to public portion. >> Oh. Not now. >> Right. That's work sessions. We do public portion first.

Thank you. >> Thank you, Martin. >> And we have no other callers. >> Motion to close. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I I So those are the public hearings we had for this evening. So now we can move on to public portion. Prudence Carabine. Welcome Prudence. >> Thank you. >> I am here to lay some information on you all that you probably are aware of and know, but uh I I think sometimes my voice

012is important and I'll feel that way till I die. So, here we go. The neighborhood house project must move ahead. The the project should always focus on the learning and celebration of the town people of East Hampton who are living here now and lived here in the past. As you know, Freetown is going away by the minute. People are selling out. I can't blame them. I understand that. But the neighborhood house has a huge long history of feeding this community, keeping us well, keeping us voting, keeping us in every way, shape, and form together as a community. So I feel very strongly about that and everybody at the Farm Museum feels very strongly about that. So any other attitudes or or issues out there are not things that we entertain or wish to hear about

013only the progress on the building of of that project moving forward and I certainly hope and pray we hear something going on before the end of this year. The second thing I want to say is that on September 14th from 5 to 8, the Lost Tribe or Sons and Daughters of East Hampton is coming together for a coverish supper and Dr. Allison McGovern, our archaeologist, will give the first opportunity for the public to hear of her findings of the grant that we have both been working on now for the last year regarding the beginnings and the development of Freetown. You are all invited. Uh we expect Allison there between 6:00 and 7. She will answer questions and talk about all of the things that she has uh is now putting into this grant to go

014to New York State. There will be a second meeting at Maidstone Club. The LBIS has tied her down for October uh 14th. again. She and I are going to do our little song and dance up there uh about Freetown, which uh heartens me to think that the Maidstone Club has some interest. Also, there will be a St. Luke's uh meeting as there was for Hugh King last year on Freetown. We are waiting for St. Luke's to give us a date. That will be in November. We are uh uh told by the state of New York that we must give three public uh hearings about this this u grant. So those are the three public hearings. Now here's the thing that I need you to think about. In our estimation, Freetown is slowly disappearing as we

015know. That's why we are so import feel the neighborhood house is so important and the farm museum is so important. And we met with Kate uh two weeks ago before she went away and talked about meeting again on the 29th of September to come up with a way to get the chapel, the Freetown Chapel back to Freetown. And in the course of our talking about this at the at the farm museum, we feel that the most important way to bring that chapel back would be to put it on the farm museum property. Why? Because the farm museum property, just like the neighborhood house property, is likely to be there forever as public property in some way, shape, or form. the rest of Freetown is disappearing and that's the reality that we face in our culture

016now. Our culture is selling out and disappearing. So we would like you to consider having this the Freetown Chapel brought back to the Farm Museum. Why? Three things. First, the convenience of having people see that when they tour the Farm Museum and go through. We are the only museum in East Champion that has school kids two or three times a year running out of buses all around the property. It's exhausting, but we have those kids and those kids could see that chapel right there on the grounds back in the trees and understand what the spiritual life and the celebratory life of Freetown was about for over a hundred years. That's why we're asking. We are also concerned that if the chapel were to be put on one of the Fowler properties, as in S Sarah

017Fowler's property, which was talked about years ago, it would be way in the back of the Fowler house, and eyes would not be on it from the road. We're concerned about vandalism. We're concerned about issues that happen routinely at the farm museum that we're used to dealing with. And it would not what be as likely to happen if it was in clear view of a road and a community and people watching it and being there. And of course, the fire department's across the street that helps to some extent, but we feel that the farm museum is the right place to bring that small building which is known as the Freetown Chapel. It would give us a place for celebration. It would give us a place for weddings. We are often asked about weddings on the

018property. I have not gotten into that for the very simple reason that I don't want to deal with alcohol, but I'm not going to be making these decisions in January because Dana and uh Patty, as you know, Collins are going to be taking over the day-to-day routine of the farm. Uh because I'm going blind. I I made that public. Uh, I have macular degeneration and I only have 54% of my lungs. So, you know, I need my husband around all the time to make sure I can come and go without dying on him. But the point is the Farm Museum has achieved in 11 years visibility. I think you would all agree we are visible. People know what we're doing there. So, if the chapel were brought back there, it would be visible to the

019town. it would be visible to everyone including the police department. Now, I would also like to put out there that we could use every public figure who has had any interaction about or with the chapel in the last 20 years can come to that meeting at the farm museum with Kate and all the rest of us who are going to be there talking about how to get this back. It's not a one two simple thing. It's a very complex uh issue getting this chapel out of the sweet spot supposedly it is right now. And apparently we have to replace the chapel with another gym. All of this is going to take thought and powerful people coming together and money. And this is the only way I can see this happening. And we would like to

020achieve that by the 250th anniversary because we feel that that's going to be a unique spotlight on the town of East Hampton and its history. All right. Um, finally, let me check my notes here. Have I said everything? Um, the the 29th with Kate this month and anyone else who would like to come. And I know at least three supervisors I've talked to in the past about the chapel. You all know that, too. It's been a a topic of conversation. And I think that if we put everything we've got behind it, this is the time to do it. And it probably is the last opportunity we'll have to move it forward. Finally, I would like to say that my cousin Tom Thomas David Talage died last week of Parkinson's disease and there will be no

021funeral and no acknowledgment of his death at this time. And all I can say is family strife is very difficult to plow through sometimes and when there's money it's worse. >> Tom was Tom was a valued servant of the town of East. Tom was a valiant servant and an employee. >> Served as a town engineer >> of the town of East and Southampton. >> Southampton and Eastampton. He was quirky. He called me prudence in the office, but he was a good man and he did the job in to the best of his ability and for 35 years he worked as a civil engineer for th these two towns and now there will be no funeral and no acknowledgement. Thank you. >> Hugh, >> welcome back. Hugh. >> Hi. I just want to say the landmarks

022lunchon that Prudence was talking about where Dr. McGovern will be talking about Freetown, I believe, is October 18th, not not the 14th. Okay. And that'll be at the >> Oh, at I'm sorry. >> Right. That's okay. >> At at the club. >> Yeah. At the club. That'll be October 18th. Okay. >> Thank you, Hugh. >> Same time, 5 to 8:00 p.m. >> No, that's a different This is the lunchon is during the the afternoon. >> It's the LVIS annual landmarks lunchon. >> Okay, Jason, is there Jason, I'm sorry, Matthew, is there anyone on the line? >> Yeah, we we have two people. Um, Mr. Drew is still on the line. I'll put him through first. Uh hello guys. Uh Martin Drew Springs. Yeah. Um I just wanted to make some comments tonight to thank uh

023you, Miss Gonzalez, about uh I guess some recent uh reduced speed signs that have arrived in our area of Maidstone Park. So I'm not sure how that all came about, but uh we'd like to thank you for working in a positive direction to start controlling the issues over that way. Um, I was hoping to speak to our uh, Councilman Ian Calder Pean tonight, but I I think he's not uh, present. Is he present this evening? >> Uh, Councilman Calder Pedmont is on Zoom. >> Oh, he's on Zoom. I see. All right. Well, I just wanted to ask or thank him as our liaison to Springs, I guess, >> recorded. I I guess we're uh making sure that uh we have uh some attention to the problems down there. So, uh we're not quite sure how

024all these reduced speed limit signs showed up, but uh thank you for paying attention to the area now. We really want to still address the uh the gorilla in the room, which is the uh the parking issues that surround that uh situation. So, uh, I just want to say, uh, I hope everyone had a good summer and, uh, we're hoping that we can spend the next moments really addressing this serious issue that's been a big concern for us in Spring about what goes on down there. And we're wondering how, uh, they're finally going to legalize themselves with the, uh, lack of a parking lot. So, uh, I've presented a lot of solutions that make real sense about what's going on down there. Uh you guys did authorize a residential lot to be converted into the

025commercial footprint. So I just want to make you guys aware that they own another uh parcel across the street number 25 which there are actually been using since 1969 as a uh parking lot in the right of way. So there are a lot of deed issues that we uh want to speak to. Uh there's a lot of legal ease that needs to be addressed in real time because uh we're not getting the results we hoped for. So I could only say there's three possible solutions, maybe four down there. And that would be to absolutely control the situation by allowing them to convert number 25 from a residential use to the commercial parking lot that they're lacking and it would exactly fit the 20 cars that they need. So, uh, we have to have a real

026solution here because we can't have this, uh, commercial entity overtaking the, uh, the safety of our, uh, park entrance being Maidstone Park. So, uh, there are a lot of issues about the use of the baseball field and the town permit and, uh, probably Maidstone Park is one of the largest flag lots in the community. So, uh, we want to address real issues and real solutions because short of that becoming a parking lot, uh, we need you guys to buy it with the CPF funds and make rid of it, tear it down, and make it a pipe parking lot, not unlike Alec Baldwin would tell you to, uh, protect our waters and tear it all down until that's complete. Because that was the agenda in our area. And if we can't have a willing seller uh

027participate in the uh you know protection of our water quality while we're preserving uh the public benefit uh we need you guys to execute eminent domain and remove that property for the nuisance property it's become. So the viable solution to preserve uh the usage there would be to uh let them use the number 25 as a commercial parking lot and uh again change a residential lot to a commercial use to solve a problem. So, uh, it's owned by the same people and, uh, we need a real solution. So, uh, we're hoping Mr. Cder Pedmont will lead us there because he needs to represent the interest of public benefit and the deed versus private interest and greed. Thank you for hearing my comments. You all have a great evening. >> Thank you, Martin. Matthew, if you

028could put the next caller through. All right. Good evening, uh, town board. This is, uh, Raymond Matthew Sharon, 50 Thomas Avenue. Um, I just want to take an opportunity to, uh, thank you all. You know, I think you know that we closed on the house on August 11th and um, you know, and it was a celebration. I wish you all could have been there. Um, John Jill Nookie was there. Um, so I just want to thank uh, you know, Council Member Lease, you know, for the taking my phone calls and, um, you know, helping me when, uh, things got difficult. And, um, you know, all you guys showing up at the, uh, the wall raising uh, on Halloween, I think that was 2023, in costumes, which was amazing. Um you know and it was a

029long for me it was a five-year um you know journey from the beginning with Habitat and then you know from from you know uh applying and um you know finally closing on the house and uh you know as you know I've been in the house for a couple years but it was a big deal to close on it. There was a lot of ups and downs. Um you know I'd like to thank uh council member uh Calder Peont for all he did. I've never met you in person. um you know and of course Peter Vancoy um you know um supervisor Burke Gonzalez your uh predecessor all he did and um Eric Shance all he did. Um so you know at the closing uh you know really was even more apparent to me how many people

030it took to make this happen. Um, and so anyone listening, this is, you know, this is part of the affordable housing. You know, keeping community, this is community building, you know, it's keeping people here that have been here, um, and be able to stay here in East Hampton. Um, you know, I closed on the house and and 3 days later I drove my son to, uh, his first year in college, so it was quite a week. Um, but, you know, at least he has a home here in East Hampton to come back to. Um, we know we'll be here. And uh it's also fitting that um Prudence is there cuz she was part of that property back in the day with um uh I believe it was Habitat Piconic and um you know she came

031to the uh I believe both both the wall rays and the dedication and was very emotional and shared some you know beautiful stories with me and um you know I just want to you know I just want to express gratitude. It's a community effort to, you know, just keep a one family in the town and and I know it's a huge problem and I know you guys are working hard and uh I just wanted to express again my gratitude. >> Thank you, Matthew. I'm a little teary eyed here. >> Congratulations, Matt. >> Yes, >> you're a patient man. >> Thank you very much. Yeah. Well, I think uh it took a lot of patience of a lot of people. You know, a lot was going on behind the scenes. >> Well, you're so deser and
