001Uh, good morning everybody. Today is June 18th at 11:00 a.m. 2025. Thank you all for attending. Could we stand for a pledge? Pledge algiance to the flagsy [Music] and justice for all. If I could just ask you all to stay standing for a second. We've had a couple of terrible things happened in our community. As you know, we had a very serious accident the other night and want to thank all our first responders for going. Uh but I'd like to get a moment of silence for the young girl lost her life. She's 19 years old and it was about seven other victims as well. So just if we could uh remember them and pray for them and and uh also the the people from Minnesota, those horrible shootings that took place there. If we could
002remember them. And lastly is uh Jack Folks who many of you probably remember. He passed away last Saturday. He was a longtime member of our community, great man, and we're going to miss him. So, I just wanted to uh just take a moment to remember all those people. Thank you. Thank you very much. Everybody can have a seat. So, let's see. Um couple of announcements. Tuesday at Main Beach, our music series will start July 1st. Do you want to mention the junior lifeguard? Oh yeah. Um this Saturday the junior lifeguard program does start up at Maine Beach. Um we have a couple uh new additions this year. Um everyone that signs up will get a special parking pass. Um which we never did in in the past. Uh all junior lifeguard uh families will get
003a parking pass to park in the grass lot right near lot two uh for the duration of the junior lifeguard program. Um we're also extending the season again this year. I think we're adding at least two weeks to the end of it so it goes through the whole summer. Doesn't end you know halfway through August. Um and any questions please just go up to the beach office. They'll be happy to help you. Great. All right. Next up we'll do roll call. Mayor here. Deputy Mayor Chris Manardi here. Trustee Sandra Melendez has an excused absence. Trustee Carrie Doyle here. Trustee Sarah Ammedan here. Administrator Marcos Balladron here. All right. Thank you. Uh first up is Hugh King, our historian. We got a lot of people here to see you today. Thank you for inviting all these
004people to hear me speak. Um, I have an hour and a half presentation on the history of the fire department. No, I'm not going to do that. I told the village administrator I'd be leaving after I do this. I'm going to the George Fowler House. The George Fowler House is the connection between the Montalk and Indian Nation and the village of Eastampton. Uh, George Fowler was a gardener at the Thomas Moran House and he was also a gardener at home sweet home museum. All right. So, that's why I'm going there to meet with the supervisor. Also, uh, Deputy Mayor Manardi asked me last meeting, when what year was Maine Beach Pavilion torn down completely and rebuilt? The answer was in the room. Kenny Cullum knew that it was 1984. Then Jim Brooks is watching this
005program and he comes to Home Sweet Home and he tells me it's 1984. Then he sends Kenny Westber Jr. over to Home Sweet Home to tell me that it's 1984. So, I'm reporting that it's 1984. Okay. All right. Joseph de Christopher was a veteran of both World War II and the Korean War who at 98 was the longest serving active member of the Eastampton Fire Department. He was named the East Sam Fire Department's first honorary chief. Joined the department in 1956, not long after building his house on Bane Extension. He had been a company captain, a fire council member, and was named firefighter of the year in 1976, 1999, and 2009. But he did not ascend to the rank of chief because village law at the time required the chief live in the village. Mr.
006D dist Mr. dis Mr. D geez de Christopher's house was just outside. It was 800 ft short of the village line. When he was no longer responding to fires in his latest years, he continued to attend all the meetings. That proves his life proves that you don't have to be chief to make an impact on the fire department. All right. Um when he was 17, he enlisted the Navy. He became a gunner and the armed guard protecting the crew and cargo aboard merchant ships crossing the Atlantic. He we carried bombs, food, whatever the whatever to the troops, he told the star in n in 2021. He served aboard the New Rocky in 1943. These were called Liberty ships and they were all named after famous people. Of course, New Rockchney was the great football coach
007at Notre Dame. Um he also served aboard the James Ives. I think it may be named after Courier Knives, the print makers. Um, other boats were named the Calvin Culage or the Lou Garri. After returning to the United States, he sailed out of Texas aboard the Navy ship, the USS Odum, to the Pacific, where he would remain to the end of the war. Back in Bridgeampton, he went to work for the Long Island Railroad. After getting married and starting a family, he was called back to duty in the Korean War, serving on the USS Jarvis. He served for a year before getting a reprieve in consideration of his family situation. Back at home, he built his own house with a good friend and then started his own construction business, which he ran until became East
008Hampton Town building inspector in 1969. He retired as chief building inspector in 1989, but continued to work part-time as a housing inspector for another 10 years. He joined the fire department's hook and ladder company number one in 1956 and was its captain or assistant captain for a number of years. A life member and past commander of the Ebert Albert herder post 550 of the veterans of foreign wars. He was the VFW quartermaster for 30 years. He received numerous medals including the Asia Pacific campaign, the European African Master Eastern Campaign, the American campaign, the Philippines liberation, and the French Jubilee uh French Jubilee of Liberty Medal. And the last thing he did was so great he lived to be 98. And looking around this room, Henry M's going to make that. I'll see you. I'm gone.
009Thanks you. Could I We're going to deviate a little bit, Chief. Could I ask uh Chief Turza and the fire department step up and we have a proclamation in Joe's name that we'd like to issue. Do you want to say a few things, Chief? Um, well, I have to correct the professor. Where is he li? Even in his later years, he was active right to the very end. Okay. I one one fire that I had with Joe down in uh landfall uh the company captain came to me and said, "We need your help. We got a problem with Joe." And I said, "Oh no." Uh and Joe was pulling a 24 foot ground ladder out of the back of the rig by himself. And at the time he was almost 97. I can say that
010now um without having to worry about getting in trouble from him. So right to the very end. But thank you, sir. Okay, this is a proclamation. I appreciate the board asking me to do this. Whereas the board of trustees of the incorporated village of East Hampton would like to honor and recognize the extraordinary life of Joseph de Christopher 1925 to 2023 whose contributions to his country, love for his community and family will forever be remembered and cherished. And whereas Joe de Christopher Herald leaves behind a legacy dedicating his life to service and community. Becoming a distinguished veteran of both World War II and the Korean War, enlisting in the Navy at age 17, Joe served as a gunner in the armed guard aboard merchant ships during World War II, including missions to Omaha Beach and
011Normandy and later serving aboard USS Jarvis during the Korean War. And whereas a life member and past commander of post number 550 of the veteran of foreign wars, Jod Christopher served as quartermaster for 34 years. It was awarded numerous medals including the Asiatic Pacific campaign, the European African Middle Eastern campaign, the American campaign, the Philippine Liberation, the French Jubilee of Liberty Medal. And whereas after his military service, Joe Christopher worked for the Long Island Railroad, served as East Hampton Town's chief building inspector until his retirement in 1989, and continued part-time as a housing inspector for another decade. And whereas Joe de Christopher Faroh at 98 years of age was the longest serving active member of the Eastampton Fire Department who is known for his humility and exemplary actions having joined Hook and Ladder Company number
012one in 1956 serving as assistant captain and captain for 11 years in numerous terms as a member of the fire council was recognized as firefighter of the year in 1976, 1999 and 2009. He was honored as the department's first honorary chief in 2022. Now therefore, be it resolved. I'll do this. You want me to do this part? Uh, yep. Okay. Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Jerry Larson, mayor of the village of East Hampton, on behalf of the board of trustees and the residents of the incorporated village of East Hampton, do hereby proclaim that Buane Extension shall bear the honorary name Chief Joe de Christopher Faroh. And, um, it's an honor to be able to do this for the family and uh, and for Joe. I mean I Joe is terrific man. So um
013but it should be noted that Steve Lynch since Bu Lane extension is only a tiny bit in the village and the rest of it's in the town but Steve um graciously allowed us to do it for the entire street. So thanks to Steve Lynch who's our town highway superintendent for u granting us permission to do that. So, I'd like to invite the family to step up and we'll do some photos with the proclamation. Attention arms. [Music] Order arms. Just fill in here. Who wants to stand next to me? Anyone? Not you. Marcos, could you take a couple? So, we have get tight. [Music] It rolls. [Music] Perfect. All right. Thank you everybody. [Applause] All right. Next up, we're going to go to the chief of police for couple of promotions. Another exciting day. Keep it
014brief. Good morning. Uh I have the uh pleasure uh today of promoting two officers within my department. Uh police officer Chris Jack uh who's been here since 2004 uh was hired is going to be promoted to the rank of uh sergeant. And um Lieutenant Bartle, who's been acting as my executive officer for a number of years now, was hired in 2001. But I' I'd be remiss if I didn't thank the board again. Every time I'm up here, it's without them that have given me the staffing uh whether it's a PO to make our place what it is now. And it's taken some time, but our department is whole. The positions are filled with this promotion till somebody else leaves. Uh so uh it's it's a pleasure and honor to have the support and I I
015truly appreciates it along with my men because it goes a long way and and helps with running the department as efficiently as possible. So thank you. So I'd first like to call up uh officer Jack. Uh Chris Jack uh as I said was hired in 2004. Um and a lot of you know uh he was on the road but he has been uh an integral part of the department and the community uh doing something a little extraordinary than a lot of us do. He's been assigned to the schools. I mean I was assigned to the schools for a number of years doing SRO uh DARE and SRO. So, it has a a soft spot spot in my heart and Chris has done an exceptional job uh in the schools being a liaison uh with the
016police department and it and it goes a long way with the kids and trust and a lot of things that go on negative negativity towards law enforcement, these officers in the schools uh that we have again a fantastic relationship with the East Hampton School Board and the superintendent who funds uh the majority ity of the officers that are in the school for the safety and the community outreach that the officers do. Chris Jack has been our longest serving uh SRO in the school since 2014 and he's done an outstanding job. I get uh positive feedback from the from the board and the superintendent and the principles over and over again. So his work, though it may not be what a lot of us think it is in law enforcement, has a vital role in the
017relationships we have with our children to try to break the bonds and to engage trust. So he's done a wonderful job. He's also been uh on our ESU team, our emergency service townwide team that's comprised again of East Hampton Town officers, East Hampton Village officers, and SEG Harbor officers. So, he's been a a vital role. He's a firearms instructor. Um, he's a team leader. So, he's done uh a fantastic job with the ES and uh it's a it's a pleasure uh to finally get to A lot of people wait. He's been here a long time. Uh a lot of people strive to move up to the next rank and it's taken a while. Uh and that's just the way sometimes it it falls. But it's a pleasure at this point to promote officer Chris Jack
018to the rank of sergeant number 467. [Applause] Sure. Yeah. and call up our village clerk to swear swear you can raise your right hand and then repeat after me. I, Christopher Jack, I, Christopher Jack, do solemnly swear do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution that I will support the Constitution of the United States of the United States and the Constitution and the Constitution of the State of New York of the State of New York and that I will faithfully discharge that I will faithfully discharge the duties of Sergeant the duties of Sergeant. Congratulations. You're welcome. Take a nice family photo. his wife Noel and his children and mother and father. Tim, come on up. I hear you. [Music] [Applause] Okay. And uh um last but not least um the number two position in
019any department, the executive officer uh has a lot that goes on. Uh as I've always said, um I'm the the front of this and maybe take the brunt of this the job being in law enforcement, but it it's from the ground on up my police officers who are out there every day doing what they're asked to do from this village board. Um, and my command staff, Lieutenant Brown, Lieutenant Shades, and all our sergeants, they do a fantastic job. And I have a extraordinary handpicked group of officers, men and women, and I I stand up here every time. Uh, which makes me look good, makes the village look good, uh, the community. Uh, so I'm I'm I'm blessed to have the men and women that I do. And, uh, Jack Bartle is my number two man.
020Uh, he's my confidant. He's my right-hand man for dealing with issues that um need to come up. Uh he's always there when I've needed him. He's been hired since 2001. He was held a number of tasks. Uh patrol, he was in assigned to crew, uh assigned to detectives, he was a sergeant in 16, a crew sergeant in 2020, and in 2022 he was promoted to lieutenant. His wife Maria is here. His mother and the children are are here as well. So uh I I appreciate again the the support to have uh my executive officer uh deserves the rank that he needs. Most departments the number two officer is is the rank of captain. I'm glad we have that structure here and I thank the support of that. So uh we have to wait on civil
021service lists as some of us understand and luckily and thankfully that list is over and that both the officers Chris Jack and uh Captain Barnamy um have successfully attained uh the passing grade. So, uh, Captain Jack, Captain Barlamy, [Laughter] that's right. family [Music] before it done. Congratulations. Congratulations. If I could call the clerk up to just You can raise your right hand and repeat after me. I, Jack Farle, I, Jack Farley, do solemnly swear do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution that I will support the Constitution of the United States of the United States and the Constitution and the Constitution of the State of New York of the State of New York and that I will faithfully discharge and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of captain the duties of captain. Congratulations,
022[Applause] Thank you. All right, we're going to take a short break to let everybody leave who would like to leave. And just for the record, can we put Lisa Purillo present or Tardy? Sorry. [Music] So bad. It was extra bad. They're doing the blue. Right. Next up is Billy Hjack. Talk about the Pentag Road property appraisal. Good morning, Bill. Uh good morning, Mayor Larson, members of the board. Billy Hjack for the village. So, I'm here to discuss with you uh property that the village currently owns that is on Pano Road. It's on the south side of Panago Road. It's about 400 feet east of the Yardley funeral home almost opposite um the old Hilddrth site and it's an undescript property. Uh, most people don't know it's there and I think probably village staff may that
023come and go might not even know that we own it at at certain points in time, but it was created um during the 1967 Egypt Close subdivision and it was set aside for potential future access that would extend from Egypt Close uh the culde-sac to Panago Road. Um the uh lots that now are in between this property and Egypt close. There's about four residential lots or all of them are developed. So there's really no feasible uh way that the lot could even be used even if the village decided that they wanted to connect the two roads. It wouldn't be physically possible anymore without either securing easements or purchasing those properties which is probably out of the question at this point in time. So we commissioned a survey in April um to uh verify the size
024of the property and the boundaries of it uh determine encroachments. Uh we wallbridge completed that survey and shows that it's just over 15,000 square feet in size. Uh and it's very unusually shaped. It's very narrow. It's only 33 feet wide at um Panago Road and it's over 400 ft in in depth. So even if we actually wanted to create a roadway, I'm not sure. I mean, I guess back in the 60s they weren't thinking about this, but a typical roadway is 50 foot wide right ofway, so it wouldn't even meet the standards for a a roadway for today's standards. Um, it is a flat parcel of land. Um, there it's partly cleared based because of encroachments from the neighbors. Uh, there are no known environmental constraints or sensitivities to the property. Um and um you
025know given the fact that it's not physically possible to use it as a roadway and it's you know the village should decide if they want to continue to own it with these encroachments or um there are alternatives which one could be trying to sell it to a neighbor as it might be of interest to a neighboring property. Um so with that in mind um we commissioned an appraisal and I think the board has a copy of that appraisal. It was completed by Clark and Marshall. Um it was just received in early June. Um and Clark and Marshall set forth their standards for how they established the value of the property. Uh not as a building lot because it's not a technically a buildable lot, but as value in terms of adding it to one of
026the adjoining properties. um and they established the value to be $825,000 and which again in the highest and best use would be by a neighboring property buying it incorporating it into their lot um to give them more room. So uh that's it in a nutshell. If you have any questions for me I can try to answer them. Anyone have any questions? Will you say there's encroachment? So some of the neighbors have have things on this property. There's a lawn. Uh there's fencing, like some deer fencing, and two statues that are the neighbors. They're not the villages. So, yeah, I would assume they're the neighbors. Yeah. So, we should probably have that. Eventually, we'll have to deal with that. Even if the village decides they don't want to um you know, sell the property, we should
027deal with the or if no one wants to buy it. Yeah. Correct. Right. When you say a lawn, what do you mean? Someone's lawn is Yeah, it's lawn just like sod turf they use as their lawn. The neighbor I have I don't know if I mean they're maintaining it as lawn so I'm assuming it would be used but I don't I haven't never witnessed anybody walking on it or anything. Yeah. So do we have aerials or do we have history of how long the encroachments were there for? For example, if we want to sell this property, maybe some of these neighbors could uh say it was adverse possession and we couldn't sell it without a long process. Lisa, so there there wouldn't be adverse possession against um village owned property. Oh, okay. That's easy. Yeah.
028All right. Good. Any anybody have any comments or I mean, is there any reason why we'd hold on to it? Is it benefiting the village? Not we can think about it. We don't have to make a decision now. We could go look at it and see what you think and we can Yeah, you could drive I mean drive by it. You'll if you blink you'll miss it. But no one no one no one from the public uses it right now. No, there's no it couldn't be essentially it's not generally usable really for anything. I mean it's only like I said it's 30 just about 35 ft wide where it meets Panago Road. So, why don't we all just take a look at it and we'll put it back on the agenda for next next meeting.
029Set up some visits for next week. Yeah. See what you want to do. Yeah. Yeah. Great. Yeah. If anybody wants to visit it, um I'd be happy to meet you there and show you show you what's there. Okay. Thank you. Great. Thanks. Thank you. All right. Next up, public hearing. Introductory number eight of 2025, a proposed local law providing for amendment of chapter 256 of the village of East Hampton code to add article five exemption for East Hampton Volunteer Ocean Rescue and Auxiliary Squad. Anyone like to be heard? Can I get a motion to close? I make a motion to close the hearing. So moved. All in favor? I. Hearing's closed. Introductory number 15 of 2025, a proposed local law amending village vamp code, chapter 121, design and site plan review section 1215E. Anyone like
030to be heard? All right, we're going to keep that open for another month. Introductory number 18 of 2025. This item is being tabled. Okay. Proposed fiscal year 2026 budget. Anyone like to be heard on the budget? Make a motion to make a motion to close the hearing. So moved. All in favor? Hearing's closed. That concludes the public hearings. Any public comment? Yes, Mr. Gance. Morning. Acknowledge me as Mr. Gans. First name is David. Interested. Um I just have two points to make. Uh I noticed the proposed rules for the beach and I just have some questions in terms of um defining what is strictly enforced means. How are we going going to enforce 5 miles per hour? Will there be a speed camera there? Are we relying on the on the attendance the the attendants
031who work there to to evaluate whether going five miles per hour? I'm just curious strictly so it's going to be science. We have attendance there. We also have cameras to prevent people driving in there like crazy people which we want to avoid. I heard about that. Yeah, it's happened. So that's what we're trying to avoid. any accidents there. There's a lot of kids and walkers and handicap people, so we're trying to make sure that the beach parking lot is as safe as possible. All right. Will the um will the um license plates be recorded and find that someone is driving recklessly? They would get a follow-up ticket. Hasn't been decided yet. Oh, again, remember we This is public comment, not public answer. No. Well, comment though. Okay. Um, also you say no animals are allowed.
032I assume service animals are allowed, correct? Oh, well, you don't have to comment. I'm just saying legally it has to be service comments because obviously many of many of them may want to use the person with a disability bathroom that in there. So, just keep that in mind. Um, in terms of no amplified music is to amplify noise and music. Could I blare NPR news? just a comment. Um and the the other thing which I think is important is we passed or the um board passed strict regulations terms of noise for um for landscape equipment. I've walked around nobody seems none of the smaller landscapers need to be a are aware of this. Um, moreover, um, I don't think that the public even knows, you know, so I would suggest a public notice, an ads,
033adlike public notice, an easy star, even even more importantly, a direct mail piece to all all village residents, explaining to them because it's it's the onus is on them to help enforce this. And and now you have people go going around giving $250 tickets and half of them don't even know why they're getting it. So I think people should be aware then you can perhaps have a um a pro probationary period and then give as out as many tickets as you'd like. Those are my two comments. We do have plans to send out to the public information about this and plus it's been posted on our Instagram and social media. Yeah. But how many people are reading the Instagram? Well, actually quite a lot. We had a lot of likes to the um I think
034we also contacted over 1,800 of the service providers and some of them just don't want to register. So well the landscape I would also I would also um consider put um sending out in Spanish as well. We do. Yeah, it's in Spanish on Instagram as well. Thank you for your comments though. Social media someone should get it in the mail saying here's we are talking about that. No, 18 1,800 landscapers have been contacted that were that were the town of East Hampton. They've been contacted several times in English and in Spanish and uh very few of them have come back until of course they get tickets when they realize that they can't you know. We also did a whole month of warning tickets on landscapers vehicles all of April. Everybody who was working out on
035the streets were getting warnings. So I think everyone's pretty well. We're getting a lot of compliance now. So um but the the thing you know I caution you on there may be landscapers who work in the village but not the town. That's all I mean how up how updated is that list? Those are my comments as 2024. Thank you. So excuse me. I don't know if this is proper procedure. May I follow up? That's what I'm Oh sure. Yeah. Absolutely. Good morning. Thank you for hearing me. Um, I'm an attorney in East Hampton and I was in court the other day. Um, can you state your name? Oh, I'm sorry. Susan Manu. I live in Springs and um I was in court the other day as I am almost every week and I noticed and
036heard because I spoke to the court officer that there were a number of people there and um Brian Lester was the was hearing the cases and there were a number of people there who had gotten a $300 ticket for violating these regulations that I as an attorney, not that you are required to notify me, but I I had no knowledge of. Now I'm completely in support of any kind of a regulation that is passed that limits the noise or limits the time frame that is in the middle of the night or early Sunday morning. However, I did some some inquiries from your office. I went to your office and again I asked well how are people notified about this regulation which is this is the regulations and they said now I am ashamed to admit
037that I love Instagram I'm on Instagram morning and night saw an announcement regarding this because of course in my work I would have needed it Then I did some further inquiries and spoke to some local people that we would all know if I mentioned their names who have been here their whole life and they're doing landscaping work. One of them got a ticket for $300 and he went to court and he spoke to Brian Lester and he then paid his $300. The the reason he gave me of paying it without fighting it was because he was afraid if he had fought it, he would be targeted. Where have we heard that before? We hear that every day now in this town of people that are frightened to death about police officers approaching them for any
038reason. I did speak to someone who was washing a window on a shop on New Town Lane, a a Spanish speaker. The police officer came up to him and said, "What are you doing?" He said, "Well, I'm friends with the family who own this shop and I am washing this window for them." And the police officer said, "Well, are you getting paid? I love our Latino population, but they're here to work for the whole town, to work for all of us, and to make money. So, that kind of a question was I understand why he asked it. So, my question I don't I I can't even imagine one of our police officers asking that question. You can't imagine? Well, I'll bring the person in. I think that's what what do they call that? Hearsay. Hearsay.
039It is hearsay. And are we on trial now? So, so, um, so, uh, oh my god, do I have to stop? You You want to hear more? Thank you for coming. No, you do want to hear more. So, um, I'll be brief. So, my question to you is, as as an attorney, I know what the laws are. Speeding. I know what the laws are. I can't beat any of you up, which I would never do. But if you don't know what the law is, and this gentleman raised it before me, do you all not think that you go up to that window washer, let's say he's a figment of my imagination, and you say, "Gee, you need to have a permit to do this. The permit, as I understand it, correct me if I'm wrong,
040requires someone to go online for for 10 hours to take a little series of Is that not true?" So they don't they don't No, we don't we don't require that in the bill. All we're all we're asking for is a registration of their business with us. So they really so that we can give them the noise rules so that of course to try to make the quality of life of the residents better. So the more people that know the rules, the less violations. Exactly. Right. So So how are they to know the rules? So they don't know the rules obviously because if longtime local residents who are doing landscaping 30 years don't know the rules. Many of our local residents who are here recently certainly don't know the know the rules. For them to receive
041a $300 ticket is owner ownorous. Let me tell you you know how much money I make as a lawyer like rich. I'm rich. If I had to pay $300 for a ticket I'd have a heart attack. But that's wrong. So the question that I have is why aren't these people being given a warning? The word would go out. Instagram is not the way to do it. Sending your notice to 1,800 big shot landscaping companies does not reach down to the local guys that are mowing the lawns, washing the windows, doing whatever other stuff requires a permit. So you want your permit. I support that this is unfair. As a lawyer, I I I'm ashamed to admit and possibly your attorney can answer the question, is this sufficient notice? And should we now go to the
042court, get the names of all of those people who have paid that $300 fine with no notice, saying they didn't even know about this, and I, as an attorney, didn't know about it, and I'm there every week. Should those $300 fines that they've already paid because they're frightened and because they obey the law, should those be refunded. Thank you. I appreciate the courtesy of you hearing me. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Anyone else want to be heard before we move on to the resolutions? All right. Resolution number 215 of 2025, approved claim vouchers for the month of June.
