Now, 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 we stand. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. So tonight's town board meeting is going to start with a comments from our town historian, Hugh King. And then we have special guests
002in the house, the new district 36 champions. We're going to be giving certificates to all of you players and we're so grateful that you could come here tonight. And then that is going to be followed by three public hearings, public portion, and then we will do the resolution. So, first we invite up our town historian, Hugh King. >> Local. >> We did it. >> Missed it. >> Okay. In our continuing saga of police chiefs, we're going to talk about another police chief tonight, Todd Saris. Todd Sarah spent four years with the Eastampton Village uh department and then he moved to the town where he's appointed chief in 2001. Um in May of 1971, he joined his brother's department. uh his brother was Randy Saris uh as a traffic control officer before enrolling in Suffach Community
003College. It wasn't long before that he was offered a job as a patrolman and he eventually left school. Only a week from his graduating from the Suffach County Police Academy, he was laid off. The Police Benevolence Association was in the midst of a heated contract negotiation with the village board and they threatened Mr. Saris that they were going to lay him off. Well, the chief doman said, "Go ahead and do it. We're not going to give in." He patrolled mainly at Montalk for about 5 years until become a detective in 1980. Three years later, he made a he was made a sergeant. Two years after that, he was a detective sergeant. And by 1987, he was a detective lieutenant. In 1991, he became captain and then executive officer. And then he became the police chief.
004and he was the police chief at the same time as his brother Randy was the village police chief. Okay. Now, I have two other things to say. The supervisor sent me an email about a essay that we're supposed to write for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence telling about the contributions that East Stanton has made. Well, 750 words is not even close to what this town has done. And that's a testament to past town boards and past historical societies and past historians. And um you were at the Mrs. Tulpes. Um the supervisor gave Mrs. Tl a proclamation. Um I just want you to know there's a rumor starting that she's going to be appointing me deputy mayor of Jans. And one final thing kids, I was on the 1954 amans little league team.
005We won the district championship. [Applause] You need more time. >> Okay. So, what we're going to do now, we're still waiting for everyone to show up.

All in favor? I >> Okay, so now we'll go over to public portion and I believe Jerry Tursza, you had signed up. >> Welcome, Jerry. >> Thanks. Uh, good evening, ladies and gentlemen. For the record, my name is Gerard Turza Jr. I am the fire and EMS administrator for the village of East Hampton. Uh, we provide fire and EMS service. Fire department's been providing it uh for over 125 years. Uh before the board tonight
017is a resolution to adopt the what we refer to as the the Northwest and the Protection District contracts for East Hampton between East Hampton Town and East Hampton Village uh for those services. Uh I understand uh there was a a question from the public uh last month regarding such contracts and I just kind of wanted to go on a record. Um been in the business about 33 years uh all locally. I'm also the the chairman of the county fres commission. So I see this on a daily basis and I work with it. Uh public safety is government's primary obligation. Right? If we can't keep our our public safe, if we can't keep the citizenry um uh secure, we we've failed in our most basic obligation. Um this is a very costly business. Uh just so
018the public's aware of it. more than just fire trucks going down the road, throwing people in an ambulance, taking them over to an ER, which the new ER is an amazing asset to the community. Um, there's a lot that goes into this. Um, and just to kind of give uh throw some some broad general numbers out there because it doesn't have to necessarily be Eastampton. It could be any fire department, any EMS agency out there. to outfit a firefighter, you're probably looking somewhere in the neighborhood of about anywhere from a minimum of $7,500 to roughly about $9 to $10,000 per firefighter. That's the the turnout gear, right? The traditional ensemble that we wear. Um, to put some things in relative terms, and we're going to I'm going to shoot back towards COVID. uh during COVID,
019precoid, it would cost for the coat and pant ensemble, just a coat and pants, $2,500, [Music] $5,000 today. Uh in just a few years, September 1st, the state contract gets renewed, a 7% increase across the board. our all of our vendors, all of our suppliers, whether it's the narcotics that we're carrying on the ambulances, um vehicles, equipment, we're seeing in increases from 5% to 25%. Uh now, we're sprinkling in some tariffs. Uh and for those that think that the tariffs really don't affect us, they're affecting us. Um I just bought some some specialized helmets for our brush truck and they were coming from London. And guess what? It's an Americanmade company. um they're outsourced overseas. Tariffs were put on there. Um so there's an everinccreasing burden with that. But now what does the taxpayer get?
020They don't only get qualified and equipped personnel. Uh they're also getting services. Uh so currently East Hampton, we are engaged with the ISO, insurance service organization, because I part of my job is I deal with our homeowners on a daily basis. Um because regionally we're having a hard time keeping our our residents insured. That's a major expense for them. Um they look at the efficiency of a fire department. There's certain things industrywide whether it's here in New York or it's in California or Idaho, wherever it is in the US, the insurance service organization, ISO rates the efficiency. Um we had a long-standing uh working partnership with the with the town. Um, we were able to get our Northwest substation opened up. The day that opened up, residents in the Northwest Protection District saw a dramatic
021decrease in their homeowners insurance, tens of thousands of dollars. Um, we've been working with the Suffach County Water Authority, as as the board knows, um, on different projects to bring more public water in. Public water increases the home value. Um, it increases quality of life. It's a statistical planning fact. Um, we're also currently engaged. Um, our rating dropped. We went from a 910, which is, uh, you know, no reflection on the fire department. It's geographic. You have to live within 5 milesi of a firehouse or 1,000 ft of public water. So, residents northwest before we open that substation up, they didn't meet those criteria. So, we were able to help bridge that gap, get them a reduction. We went from a 910x to a 33x, which is a very admirable jump. Um, it's it's there's
022not very many departments in the state of New York that have it. Uh, we're engaged in our current uh, review and we're very confident we're going to be able to do better. Uh, we have to do better. We're taxpayers as well. I'm also a resident of the Northwest. So, I I rest easy at night knowing that our money is being spent well. Whether it's in the Northwest Protection District, whether it's in Montalk, whether it's Amagant Springs, wherever it is, um the costs are are a cost of doing business as you you've got another resolution for the upgrade of your dispatch center. Um it's is expensive business that we're in. So, I just wanted to kind of put that on public record for the public um that they know that there's there's costs that you don't
023see when the trucks are going down the road. um you know, they don't see what goes on to put a police officer on the streets, things like that. Um the public really needs to just kind of be aware of it and at any time if they feel that they want to come talk to us, especially if you're live in the Eastampton Fire District or the any of the protection districts that we have in East Hampton, they can feel free to contact me and we'll sit down with them. Uh see what we do. >> So, thank you very much. >> Thank you for your service. >> Thank you. Jerry, can I say one thing also? I also want to thank you for your advocacy at the at the county level and specifically most recently for the
024affordable housing for first responders. I know you spoke many of times at that and that was very successful and something I know that the board's interested in too. Uh the voice like yours there went far. I was at one of those public hearings then too. >> Thank you. >> I will also add I mean I've been an employee of that organization and and I've seen firsthand how well it is run. Um, look, public safety out here is a partnership between all our municipal agencies and I appreciate what everyone in that firehouse does and thank you. >> Like I uh like I say, the mission is always the people >> and that's it's simple but it's very profound. So, thank you very much. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Would anyone else like to address the
025board? David. >> Welcome, David. >> Good evening. Before I start, >> thank you. >> You're welcome. Thanks, D. >> Thanks. >> Thank you. I too would like to speak. Uh I'm David Buddha from the Springs. I too would like to speak concerning to tonight's resolution 20251089 which is the post hearing uh proposed adoption of the contract with the village to provide fire and ambulance services to two of the town's five water protection districts. First, let me tell you what I've given you. I've given you two pieces of paper. The first one is a copy of that resolution just so you have it in front of you. And also I've put a couple of uh markups come some some of it is uh just uh what we call spading just minor corrections but uh there is
026an omission in the first where in the whereas clause that forgets to mention just as the previous speaker forgot to mention the fact that this is a contract for two separate and distinct fire protection districts. is not just for Northwest Fire Protection District, but is also for the recently renamed East Hampton Water Supply and Fire Protection District. The resolution, First of all, when we had the hearing back on July, I was confused because this was a change in your pattern. You had always done separate agreements, separate contracts for each of the two separate fire protection districts. you combine them into one contract and it was a little confusing because it was a change of pace. Also, this resolution does not make it amply clear uh that abundantly clear that you're dealing with contra a contract
027one contract for two different districts. So, I suggest that there's a little bit of minor housekeeping that needs to be done before this resolution is adopted. The second page that I've given you is a uh summary of the cost of your contracts over the past 10 years for providing fire and ambulance services for the Northwest Fire Protection District. On the one hand, the East Hampton Water Supply District, now known as the East Hampton Water Supply and Fire Protection District, and for the next two years, combining the two because that's what you're pro proposing to do. So, let me start. Um, this evening I'd like to take a moment of your time, actually 3 minutes, to discuss proposed resolution 1089, which is the post-hering resolution to adopt the 26, 2026, and 2027 contract with the village
028of East Hampton to provide fire and ambulance services for two of the town's five fire protection districts. Every two years, the town and the village negotiate the cost of the renewal of the essential contracts for providing fire and ambulance services for these two town fire protection districts, which are areas of the town that are not within independent and self-governing fire districts and that are outside of the villages. The public hearing that was held on July 1st was somewhat bewildering to me because this year, unlike prior years, the town and the village decided to negotiate one combined contract to cover the services to be provided to these two separate and distinct fire protection districts. The East Hampton Water Supply and Water Protection District encompasses the area of the town that is immediately north and east of
029the East Hampton Village. Whereas the Northwest Fire Protection District encompasses areas of the town that are relatively much further from the village emergency services building in Northwest Woods and also Northern Wayne Scott. After the July 3 public hearing, I communicated with the town board, town attorney, and the town tax receiver to inquire whether it was feasible to have one village contract to provide services to two separate and distinct tax districts. Historically, these two fire protection districts have had different tax rates for the cost of their ambulance services and fire services. Perhaps recognizing the difference in proximity to the village emergency services building by ratifying and adopting a single combined contract with the village. It may be difficult, if not impossible, to fairly allocate and aortion the costs of the contract between residents of these two
030separate taxing districts. In response to my July 14th email communication, I received absolutely no response from any town official. You all are seemingly content to respond to public comment at public meetings with silence, which is quite frustrating. Often you invite the speaker to contact you offline to get a response. However, even when I did so, all I received was the silent treatment. The spreadsheet that I've provided to you tonight shows the history of the cost of fire and ambulance services in these two subject fire protection districts. You will note that from 19 from 2016 through 2022, there were six years of fairly small increases ranging from two to 5% increases spread over each of two-year periods. Then for 2023, there was an enormous increase in the tax rates of about onethird for both fire districts.
031I believe this outsized increase was primarily the result of the decision that was made to request that the village build and equip a new fire substation at the old northwest brush dump so that some residents of the northwest woods and northern Wayne Scott would at least on paper no longer be residing more than 5 miles from a fire station and therefore be subject to significantly h higher homeowners insurance rates. When this plan was hatched, Becky Hansen, then the village administrator, was quoted in a newspaper article stating, "The new substation building would not have any permanent staff, will not be open to the public, would not host public events, but will just be used to house equipment and emergency vehicles. Now that the building and the equipping of what some see as being a Potmpkin Village
032fire station has long been completed, I have to wonder why there has not been any moderation or reduction in the tax rates for these two fire protection districts. Also, I have to wonder if it is if it is entirely fair to lump the residents of the two separate fire protection districts together to the extent that the principal driver for the substantial tax rate increase appears to have been a very deliberate plan to provide a financial benefit primarily, if not exclusively, for the residents of only the Northwest Fire Protection District. Thank you. >> Thank you, David. Is there anyone else here that would like to address the board? >> Matthew, is there anyone on the line? >> We have no callers on the line. >> Okay. So, now we're ready to go to resolutions. Tom, >>
033thank you, Madam Supervisor. I will start with resolution 202510551055.
