001East Hampton Town Board. We are live streaming and recording. Thank you. Thank you, LTV. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the East Hampton Town Board work session of Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025. Carol, if you could please read the roll call. Council member Flight, present. Council member Lee, present. Council member Rogers, present. Council member Cal Pean, present. Supervisor Burke Gonzalez. 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 justice for all. [Music] So this morning we we open the meeting with public portion and we ask you folks to kindly keep their comments to three minutes and then that is followed by we have five topics on the agenda. The first is uh bids with Jeannie Corrosa. Then
002we're going to be getting an overview from Stonybrook Medicine by Dr. William Wortheheim and his team from Stonybrook. And then that is followed by a discussion of three different urban renewal map modifications that uh our senior assistant town attorney Charlie Collins will take us through. That's followed by lease on reports and then resolutions. So first we'll start with public portion and Carol is there anyone signed up? David, you'd like to address the board? Yes, thank you. Welcome David. Good morning, town board. Uh, first by way of this is I am David B. I live in the Springs and by way of full disclosure, I reside on a road that is within the old filed map study plan. So, since we've moved here in 2001, I have been very conscious of the uh anything that the
003town board does with regard to old filed map uh roads. I'd like to first of all, since you're dealing with three proposed modifications, none of which I have any objections to today, I thought this would be appropriate time to bring up my concerns as to how the town is not following through on its obligations with regard to completing old file map roadways and causing them to be uh accepted into the highway system. Uh there does not seem to be a mechanism in place to require or oversee the the department of the superintendent of highways role in completing um and accepting those roadways once roadway assignments have been given by the town's consulting engineer. In theory, the whole purpose of the old filed map study plan that was adopted in 1977 was to complete the roadways
004and have them all become part of the town's highway system. However, there doesn't seem to be a mechanism to coordinate between the town function of assigning those road assignments, overseeing them, approving them, and then requesting that the town highway superintendent accept them into the highway system so that they can thereafter be town roads, fully accepted as town roads, maintained by the town in future, provide services such as snow removal, And I've heard it said that well the highway department is doesn't have enough money or manpower or equipment to maintain any more roads and therefore we don't want any more town more roads. Well that frankly is ridiculous. I I understand that the highway superintendent is uh duly elected and is subject to certain statutory obligations under the highway laws of the state. But then again,
005we have elected officials in the assessor's office and the town clerk's office, and they all function as part and parcel of the town with some direct control by the town board of their budgets and their activities. I ask you to do more to find out why there seems to be this roadblock in place to prevent completed roadways in the old file map study plan from being accepted into the highway plan highway system. Now very briefly I want to just mention a resolution that you have on for today that I think is questionable. Resolution 2025794 deals with accepting a road monetary road improvement contribution in lie of a road work assignment which is the usual way that uh old file map uh parcels that are being uh completed and renovate and u built improved get done.
006you have uh at URP47 in Whale Wood Whalebone Woods, you have today a proposal to accept $18,000 and not to require a specified road work assignment given out by the town's consulting engineer. If you go to that roadway, which is technically once upon a time it was actually known as Washington Street, it was designated in the old filed map plan as being a common driveway to serve three properties. Although it actually appears to serve now four separate properties, it is unimproved or not fully improved. It's has encroachments within the roadway. The pavement is insufficient in width and it doesn't comport with the town standards for any four lot subdivision. There is no adequate turnaround that is would be required for the use by emergency vehicles. I ask you that before you accept and and process
007this application to accept the $18,000 from the owner, which is willing to pay, that you take into consideration how that money should be spent and whether or not an actual road work assignment to improve a common driveway serving four roads off of Three Mo Harbor Road should be given out. It's really a uh unusual and unique situation that requires some special attention. Thank you very much. Thank you, David. Jason, is there anyone on the line that would like to address the board? Yes, we do. Give me one moment. Hello, caller. Ending 5636. Oh, hello caller. You are on the air. Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry. Uh, Teresa McCasky. Good morning, uh, board. Uh, calling from, uh, on on behalf of the South Talent Aircraft Noise Committee. um calling or just to kind of follow up with
008regards to one of my other uh previous comments um to make the town board aware that all the helicopters that are not flying one plus mile off the shore yesterday. There was a helicopter that cut through Orient as he exited East Hampton Airport uh via the Orient causeway which was brought to my attention by residents out in that area. Um the other topic uh that many helicopters are not hugging plum, they're hugging Orient instead. So uh again wish to bring that to the town board's attention. Um and that would even be uh inbound. So also uh there are nowhere in the Northshore route does it state that helicopters are to return to the Northshore route from East Hampton Airport. The southshore route is the closest route and must be utilized to the maximum. Um, one
009other source object here is uh the sea planes. Um uh they are uh mostly primarily contracted with Blade and it's very visible on Blade's website that they are contracting with plane and um we are a Kodiak seplane we which is absolutely a horrific pilot um and is completely disrespectful to everyone on land. Um, we also have 115PJ that likes to come through the North Fork. We also have 382 TA traffic air um, which has other sea planes as well. They wish to continue to cut through the North Forks and over our neighbors in in Southampton upon their arrival and actually departure for Southampton to East Hampton airport. They barrel over the North Fork with no quote unquote water route um being followed whether they which they should be utilizing again the Southshore route. The Southshore
010route must be utilized to the maximum not the minimum with routes over East Hampton and not over our neighbors in Southampton which are enduring substantial and unnecessary air traffic from East Hampton. The airport continues to be a major problem, a polluting problem and um reaching out to the town board to make you uh aware of how pilots are some pilots are flying and to please address blade accordingly um and to not uh give into their uh to to um that corporation because they are not a friendly neighbor in any way, shape or form. and it is perfectly visible with the noise complaints that are submitted in New York City as well from these operators. Thank you very much and have a very safe week. Thank you for your time. Have a wonderful day. Thank you,
011Teresa. We have no other. Is there anyone else on the line? We have no other dollars. All right. Thank you. I'm just going to say one more time in the main meeting room. Is there anyone that would like to address the board? All right. So, we're going to move on to topics. First up is bids with Jeannie Corrosa. Welcome Jeanie. Good morning everyone. Um first we have a few acceptances. Um the first acceptance is for the surplus oyster seed sale for 2025. East Hampton Oyster Company is the apparent high bidder in the 3.3 mm category at $23 per 1,000. And for the 516 in apparent high bidder is Long Island Shellfish at $4010 per thousand. Next is the sanitation bulk storage pre-engineered lean to Carter Melance is the apparent low bidder for that in the
012amount of 1,953,000. Next is the electronic equipment replacement on a marine patrol vessel. Hampton Navigation is the apparent low bidder for that. The amount is $42,634. We're rejecting a bid for the mobile food concessions for select town beaches. Um, no biders and several notices coming up. Um we have the Peach Farm house renovations, second house road raising, trauml for sanitation and next week um food service and kitchen wear items for human services and also supply and delivery of food and dependent upon um samples to be received for the bid we did for the town newsletter might have a res another resolution on for Thursday. Great. Thank you, Jeannie. Any questions for Jeannie? No. Thanks. Okay, so next up we have the Stony Brook Medicine Overview and Dr. William Worerheim. We're so grateful to have you
013here. We met a couple of months ago uh and talked about Stony Brook coming and making a presentation and we're really grateful that you whole team found the time to come today. So, thank you. Well, thank you so much for having me and inviting me to speak to the the town board. Um, my name is William Wartheim or Bill Wartheim. I'm the executive vice president of Stony Brook Medicine. Uh, I have with me a a cadre of people. Um, so we have Dr. Todd Griffin who is the vice president for clinical services. We have Emily Mastellar who's the CEO of Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. We also have Carl Mills, our director of New York State Government Relations. uh Barbara Joe Howard who is our lead for marketing communications for Stony Brook Southampton Hospital and Mike
014Arens who is my chief of staff. Um so that is my my crew. Um I'm going to talk a little bit about sort of an overview of Stony Brook Medicine and who we are. Um and then dive into further about Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. Um how we're trying to increase and improve healthc care access on the South Fork. Um and in then in particular some of the outreach we're doing in the town of East Hampton. Um and I think you all have uh the slides in front of you. Um so you know we have an integrated mission obviously healthcare delivery but also education and research. We are an academic health system. Uh we view ourselves as the prime uh health system and prime caregiver for Suffach County. Um we take care of everybody from those
015in you know from well-healed backgrounds to the marginalized and the people who have nowhere else to turn. Uh we're also take very seriously our education mission. For us we think it's very important to train our students and our trainees in how they need to be practicing in the 21st century. and we have five health science schools and uh many many post-graduate training programs in many specialties. Um and finally research we think is is integral to the delivery of health care. If we want to continue to advance and continue to make diseases which may currently be fatal or really um damaging to people, we want to minimize that impact. We want to make them things that either can be cured or can be lived with. We have to be able to continue to engage in research
016and provide the benefits of that research to all of our patients. So there's two almost three million people in Long Island from including NASA and SuffK counties. Our network spans over,400 physicians in about 150 different specialties and we have four hospitals as you know um which you'll see in a moment. a skilled nursing facility for veterans which is right across the street from Stonyie Brook University Hospital, cancer center, heart institute, neurosciences institute, trauma center and well over 200 ambulatory sites. So in terms of our clinical enterprise, the hospitals Stony Brook University Hospital is sort of our our tertiary quartinary flagship hospital in Stonybrook. We also, it also houses Stony Brook Children's Hospital, which is the only children's hospital in Suffach County. Uh, Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, which I know you you you all know well,
017um, which joined our our network in 2017. Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital uh, in Greenport, which joined in 2019, as well as the Long Island State Veterans Home. And the five schools we have the school of medicine, school of nursing, school of health professions, school of social welfare and school of dental medicine. And we also sponsor a program in public health. So for us, the future of health care is not sending everybody to some highly specialized place unless they absolutely need it, but really bringing health care into the communities. And that is what we really believe is the is the way we should be providing care in the future. And that's why I think it's important to talk about the 213 ambulatory sites we have across Suffach County. Um we try to we're we're
018trying to think about developing our healthcare ambulatory healthcare network in what we refer to as a hub and spoke model. So the hubs are multispety larger buildings where we may actually be able to do procedures, have specialties, specialists of a lot of different stripes and a lot of different specialized services and then have spokes of more primary care delivery that can refer to them and those are scattered um in the way we plan it throughout the county. We have two hubs so far uh from west to east. we have in Comarmac uh a large multis-pety office building. Um and just so you know that you know this is academic we are putting some clinical research space in there and we are also applying to uh have some procedural and surgical space there. The second one
019which we opened two summers ago uh is in Lake Grove in former Sears building. It's about 175,000 square foot feet of of space and again multispety. It's where I see patients um uh and but specialists of all stripes. And then this sort of plan is how we envision continuing to um deliver care across all of Suffach County, the East End and the South Fork in particular. Stony Brook Medicine has a lot of firsts that we can be proud of. I I'm not going to read everything on the list. Um, but I do want to emphasize that, you know, one of the, I think, advantages of Stony Brook Southampton having joined us in 2017 is being able to provide these kinds of services to all the people of the South Fork. Uh, which may have been
020more difficult before. um you know these are these are the fruits of the research that we do and fruits of the education that we do and it is manifestation I think of our mission to make sure that everybody gets uh you know gets care and the next two slides that you'll you'll see talk about the things that were only happening in Suffach County uh at Stony Brook Medicine um you know some highlights the kidney transplantation bone marrow transplantation Children's Hospital, as I mentioned, we are the county's largest provider of LGBTQ healthcare services. We have a tickborn disease research resource center. So, we're really trying to provide care that meets the community's needs. On the next slide, you'll see some of the recognition that we've received recently. I want to call your attention to a couple
021of things. One are the Leaprog A ratings. So, Leaprog is an independent, highly respected national organization which um grades hospitals uh for their quality. And Stony Brook University Hospital has received two Leaprog A ratings in a row. Stony Brook Southampton Hospital has received three A- ratings in a row. Um they are only one of 16 hospitals in New York State that has had three consecutive Agrades from uh from Leak Prague. So, we're very very proud of this. The other thing I want to draw your attention to is something we just found out about recently, which is the practice green health award. This uh ranks Stony Brook University Hospital is among the top 25 hospitals in the country for environmental stewardship, environmental excellence. And so under leadership like Carol Gomes who's our CEO of Stony Brook
022University Hospital, Emily uh the CIO of South Stony Brook Southampton, we've made great strides to reduce waste, to limit chemical use, to green our operating rooms so that we reduce our carbon footprint, to limit energy use as much as possible. And again, this is something that I think is central to our ethos as responsible members of the community. So, I'd like to turn my attention uh for a few minutes to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. Um, as you know, it's been in in the community for many, many years. Uh, joined us in 2017. It is really, I think, a full-ervice community hospital. 120 beds, a lot of discharges, a busy labor and delivery suite. Uh, we provide a lot of outpatient services as you can see. Um and importantly it is an employment vehicle. We have
023a lot of staff uh many of whom live in the South Fork and it is a vehicle for training the future of healthcare. We have five different residency programs at Southampton Hospital and train 65 medical residents each year. Again Stony Brook Southampton Hospital has a lot of resources within the hospital. We have a cardiac catheterization lab. We have uh outpatient uh surgical services and inpatient surgical services. It's a primary stroke center. We have the tickborn disease research center, the Ellen Hermanson breast center, the Ed Windsor LGBTQ healthcare center, etc. So it there are a lot of services that you can get right here in Southampton. And then of course we have access to Stony Brook University Hospital for needs which can't be met. their more tertiary or cordinary needs and whether that is by ambulance
024or by helicopter we can get anybody to the care that they need. Um I just want to point an example of some of the newer technologies that we're bringing to the community. So one of them is uh this treatment called Pluvikto which is a very much a cutting edge treatment for prostate cancer. Stern Brook Southampton Hospital is the only place on the east end where people can get this treatment which is really, you know, pushing the envelope on prostate cancer treatment. And the other is the robots that we have. You may have heard a lot about surgical robots. What they are is they're sort of both an extension of the surgeon's hands um but also they provide a 3D view of the surgical field so that the surgeon is able to use much more precision
025which leads to faster healing reduce complications. So we have a da Vinci robot system which is used more for urologic, gynecologic and general abdominal surgeries. And we have a Makeo robot which is similar but is used more for orthopedic surgeries such as joint replacement. Um and both of these are extremely powerful tools and help us provide the best possible care right here in the community. [Music] I want to talk a little bit about some of the education we're doing within and outreach we're doing in in East Hampton. It's important to us to work with local organizations such as the Chambers of Commerce, Guild Hall, OLA, the East Hampton Senior Center, and others. Um, for us, this is a combination of preventive care and education about some of the common conditions that people need to know
026about. Um, some of the things we do, and this is not meant to be an exhaustive list, but we have wellness content on LTV. Uh, we have Zoom talks to the library featuring Stony Brook Medicine experts on women's heart health, weight loss medications and surgery, breastfeeding, etc. Um, we have fall prevention programs and taichi for arthritis at the East Hampton Senior Center. And importantly, we're going to have on July 14th at the Southampton Arts Center a community town hall where people can come in and get health screening. Uh they can get demonstration of some of the robotic technology which is always fun. Um information tables about the cancer center, the breast center, etc. Um so I think it'll be a lot of fun and I hope uh all of you can join us there. So
027what else are we doing to uh improve health care access specifically on the south fork? So this is some of our these are our current locations on this map uh where we have ambulatory locations. We are actively looking at more locations all the time. But as you see on the next slide, our big uh splashy new location is right next door, the East Hampton Emergency Department. um you can see some of the details about uh what's inside the building. What it doesn't capture is actually how beautiful and highly functional medically that building is, which I think is is a tremendous uh credit to everybody who was involved in the design. I want to thank you, Supervisor Brooke Gonzalez, and this whole board for all of the the support that you showed to make this project
028happen. um you know how hard it is to get emergency care in East Hampton and Monttok um and try to get all the way to Southampton particularly Council Member Flight as an EMT. I know you know how challenging that this has been. So we were very excited to to be able to do this and and serve the needs of the community. Um I also want to say thank you because last week was ZMS week. So thank you. Um this was a group project, a team effort. There are a lot of people who are involved in making it happen. We've had tremendous support from our New York state elected officials such as Senator Palumbo, Assemblyman Skavoni. Uh the governor's office has been extremely supportive of this as well. Our prior state legislators, particularly Fred Theel and
029Ken Lavel, who helped secure that initial funding for the project and probably helped sketch it the project on a napkin. um they were ve really instrumental in this. But this is also a community effort. Residents of East Hampton came together and pulled their resources and their energy and their wisdom to make this happened. Uh the community has funded this. Southampton Hospital Association has funded this and it's just a tremendous success. Um since we opened on the 22nd, we've seen more than 230 patients in a week. We're averaging 40 patients in a day. It just underscores how much this facility has been needed over the last so many years. Um, we do have a little video and I'm not sure is that going to play. Um, yeah, we just have to stop the presentation for a
030moment and I will play it right now and in three, two, Stonyie Brook Medicine is committed to expanding access to highquality health care throughout the East End. We are thrilled to partner with the community and with the Southampton Hospital Association to provide outstanding emergency care close to home. The new Stony Brook Eastampton Emergency Department along with the Phillips Family Cancer Center in Southampton are evidence of our dedication as we advance the future of health care right here on the South Fork. Welcome to the Stony Brook East Hampton Emergency Department. Conveniently located at 400 Pantige Place, this facility provides emergency care and health services, delivering exceptional care and advanced clinical diagnostics when and where you, your family, friends, neighbors, and visitors need it the most. The Stony Brook Eastampton Emergency Department is staffed by Stony Brook
031Medicine board certified emergency room physicians as well as nurses, laboratory technicians, radiology and imaging techs, patient access registars, EMS and pharmacists. This off-campus emergency department has a dedicated resuscitation room, cardiac monitoring capability in every exam room, fasttrack treatment rooms for general patients as well as pediatric obetrics, gynecology and opthalmology patients, two isolation rooms, a laboratory, advanced clinical diagnostics and imaging, including an MRI, CT, ultrasound and X-ray for emergent and non-emergent patients. patients and if necessary an ambulance for hospital transport all right here on site. This is truly a vital step forward in making highquality health care more accessible for everyone who calls this special place home. The new emergency department will provide access to essential care to our community in minutes rather than hours. When it's an emergency, you need immediate care. Our team of
032Stony Brook Medicine specialists are only minutes away. Standing by to provide the quality care you need right here where you live, work, and play. The Southampton Hospital Association is grateful through the donors whose generosity along with a $10 million New York State grant have made the Stony Brook Eastampton Emergency Department a reality. We are committed to continuing to raise funds to support this facility, the Phillips Family Cancer Center, Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, and the expansion of quality healthc care throughout the South Fork. Thank you very much. [Music] and you're back. But if you do, it's a great place. Um, we are doing other things of course to expand our services. In the last year, we've recruited 12 new physicians who've started working on the South Fork as well as two physician assistants. Um, and we
033have active recruitments going on in seven or eight different specialties currently. So, our aim is to really make sure that we're able to meet the health care needs of uh all of the people on the South Fork and all of the communities on the South Fork. Another thing that we've been doing um that in, you know, I think is very important is our care initiative for the school districts in the South Fork. We're partnering with a number of school districts in the uh in the area to provide behavioral health services. This as you know is a critical need for our schools um as this has become a growing problem amongst students and we are um you know very happy to be able to provide that service and do so in a fashion that the the
034school districts can afford and be a resource to all of the students and and the parents. Um, we hope to be able to expand those services into things like orthopedics, sports medicine, athletic training, and general pediatric and adolescent care as the districts find that is helpful to them. So, I think there are a lot of benefits to being in an academic health system. Uh, one of the things that we really didn't touch upon is our educational footprint on the Southampton campus. um the school of health professions which has as you see these uh you know these multiple different um specialties within the school uh has the largest footprint of any academic unit at Southampton campus um in particular the speech and language pathology but also physical therapy and occupational therapy u are there and we're
035thinking about ways that we can expand those programs so we can train the healthcare workforce that we need but in in particular train a healthcare workforce that is familiar with the South Fork and is interested in per we hope staying in the South Fork. So I think that too is very important. Um and as I said we do also have uh medical residency training programs at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital and I can tell you we've had those programs. They were actually started before um Southampton joined Stony Brook Medicine, but it's continued and grown under um this relationship with Stonyie Brook Medicine and many of those doctors are the doctors who have stayed here in practice again serving the healthcare needs of the community. So I think that's my last slide. Um happy to take any
036questions and I thank you again for the opportunity to speak. Thank you Dr. Worth. board members have questions or comments? Yeah, I mean well firstly from an EMS perspective, thank you. I I think you know all our districts out here have a very strong relationship with Sony Brook Hospital and you know it's not perfect nor will it ever be perfect. Um you know needs and wants out here change and I think you do an excellent job in addressing that on a on a need basis. Um you know I I do really appreciate how you've called out the work you're doing with the schools. That is something that's definitively been called out to us on numerous fronts that you know there is definitely a mental health crisis going on with a lot of the youth in
037America today. So you know I know there's been challenges in hiring people in that realm out here. The town does offer some services through family service league etc. But the more investment in that area I think the more this area will benefit as a community as a whole. Um you know I I think needs will continue to evolve um as and how we can be helpful. Please always do feel free to reach out. Um the last thing I will say, one thing you did to mention, you have one person over there who I really do think is exceptional with regards to your emergency preparedness planning, Frank Mills. Um every time I've interacted with him, I can't tell you how impressed I've been with the level of detail and research he does into his organization. So
038kudos to that. Thank you. Thank you. And I will relay your appreciation to Frank. So I'll add to it. So um I want to thank Dr. Griffin and Emily for coming out to the Montalk CAC last night or even over the last couple years. Uh we're on a prominence in Montalk. Tom lives there. I'm out there all the time. My wife is in healthcare out there also. Um you answer the questions to the residents needs in a way uh that they needed to hear a couple years ago and specifically last night about the ER. Tom as EMT. There was others there. They said it was transformative in the changes. 16 and a half minutes to get the montalk to the new emergency department instead of three hours off your life, excuse me, three hours out
039of your day uh to go to Southampton back. Um I was born in Southampton Hospital. All my kids were also I think one of the things that we don't really recognize is that um I I love this stat. I use it in trivia. Suffach County's population's a little over 1.5 million. That is a larger than 11 US states. Stony Brook Medicine is treating a population in just Suffach County that is a larger than 11 US states. So kudos to you and your team for doing so. That's impressive to me. You're doing it very well. And I would just like to talk from a person, a patient's point of view. Um I moved here full-time over 20 years ago. So I've watched the evolution of Stony Brook Southampton happen and all of your health services across
040the South Fork. and is someone who represents someone who goes to your doctors and goes to your walk-ins and has been in your emergency room. I I can't express um how important it is and how wonderful the care is there and professional and up to-date. So, it's for us in a geographically um isolated location, it this is not hyperbole, it's a lifesaver. So, I thank you so much uh for coming to the East End and developing all these programs. The emergency room uh in East Hampton is a dream come true. Um and that goes beyond my own personal feelings to the feeling of concern that I have for everyone that lives out here or vacations out here. Knowing that that is just over there is literally a dream come true. So, thank you all for
041your dedication to health services on the east end. Yeah, I would just reiterate what the previous board members have said and thank you. Um, I'll be honest, I learned a lot about what you do throughout Suffach County. I I know that you do a lot, but but some of the details, it's been informative for me to read about. Um, and I appreciate it all. Uh, I do know a little more about the project, uh, the emergency room in East Hampton. And as I was able to say to you personally before this meeting, um I've heard nothing but appreciation and positive things from the community. I think it's a very necessary um place and predecessors on this board before I was here, I think, worked with you all to make that happen. And um it's just
042a real asset for for East Hampton. Um and that's recognized again by every community member I've spoken to. So uh thank you and it was a very pleasant surprise to see you open one day when I I I thought it was still delayed. So, um, welcome and and thanks for your commitment to to East Hampton and all of Suffach County. My pleasure. Yeah. And and thank you again to your team. We had, uh, our public safety meeting last Wednesday to to debrief over the weekend and some of the examples of folks that were brought there, young woman who, you know, may have had alcohol poisoning was, you know, you know, in minutes could get to the hospital, to the emergency room. That's gamechanging. And I also had an experience. Um, a friend of my sons
043went over the weekend and I shared this with Emily. He said it was the nicest, the cleanest. He was facility. He had he couldn't help. He couldn't take do the paperwork himself because of his condition. The staff filled out the paperwork for him and he was in and out in an hour. and he could just was so blown away by the level of expertise and the care that that he was given and then the fact that you know you talked about having imaging and it's not just for emergencies. So those of us that need, you know, and as we get older, we need more tests, you know, we need MRIs, we need CAT scans. We're not getting, you know, in that traffic that backs up, you know, through Bridge Hampton. We are, we can make
044appointments here, and I'm assuming we make those through the Southampton radiology number that we've always come, we always use, but we'll be able to get those appointments here, and that's, you know, life-saving as Kate said. So, we're really excited to have you here. We don't want you to be strangers. You're welcome back anytime. There's, you know, news to come out because, you know, as I said, we have a platform here. The press is here that can cover it and folks who missed today's meeting can watch it on YouTube because, you know, healthc care is such a primary need in our community. So, we're very grateful. Thank you. Well, we're grateful for the partnership and we're happy to continue. Thank you. So, thank you. Thank you. [Applause] Okay. So, we are going to move on. We
045have three uh urban renewal uh modifications that we need to discuss. Um Patrick, if you could pull up the first memo. Um and I just need to get Joanne's going to come in because we need to Patrick, you and I need to step outside for a second. So, Joanne's going to come in and pull up. There she goes. Charlie Kate, if you could just take over and I'll be right back. [Music] Hi. Hi, Charlie. Um, the first one is Do you want to go in order on the Yeah. Yeah. So, it's not this one. Um, so this is um Nine Royal Street. Nine Royal Street. Okay. So, this is a modification of urban renewal map. Uh, could you just pull that mic a little closer? It's urban renewal map 501 sheet eh-17 it's lots four
046and six in the urban renewal map this is the existing uh current map uh you could see four has developed and six is not developed if you want to go to the I don't proposed I think is next should be the next page yeah so now the proposed is to take those lots one and two from six and incorporate them to four. Lot six is still vacant. Um, nothing else will change about lot six. Uh, this has already been approved by the planning board. It's actually already been approved by the county. The tax map has already changed. This is just to clean it up on our end. Uh, it's really more of a paperwork thing than anything else as far as uh I'm concerned. And uh, yeah, engineer had no problem with it. Planning board
047had no problem with it. They approved it. Um, yep. Anybody have any questions about this lot line modification? I do not. You're good. I don't. I'm supportive. Okay. Thanks, Charlene. Next. The next one is the 37 and 38. Yes. So, this one is that's the ex this is in Springs. It's a little sideways there, but it's okay. Um, it's map 499, section one, Kingtown Park, SP-2-2. So, lots 99E and 110 there. Uh, as you can see, they take access to 19th Street, uh, where those little cutouts are on the corners of the properties. Um, and their proposal is to amend the map slightly to basically square off those corners and to allow them to abandon a a bigger section. They already abandoned a section of uh 19th Street into their lots and this would just
048allow them to abandon a slightly more and would kind of square off the property lines. U something uh no nothing. Yeah, engineer had no problem with it. Um planning board had no problem with it. Could you just go one more forward, Joanna, if you don't mind to what the request is? That's the squaring off there. It's more for driveway access. Yeah, it won't change anything. They're still going to take driveway access in the same place. It just allows the lot to be slightly larger in terms of area, square footage. Any questions? I don't think it's a reasonable request. Okie do. Next. So, just uh in transparency, I live in this area, not on this in this map location. I don't have any bias and I would like to continue moving forward with this discussion. This
049next one, thank you. You are 20. Yeah. And then the 120 Harbor Boulevard. So, this one is uh this is lot it's lot number 161 in map number 16, Kingtown Park. This one is the property. That red dot you see on the north there, that's where the property is supposed to take access to Harbor Boulevard. Um if you go to the next lot, next slide, they just proposed to shift that over to Park Street. So, to take it off of a less busy street, I think is the idea. Um and that's the only change just where the property accesses the roads and planning board and planning board engineer uh the engineer had one comment that as long as the access is 50 ft from the corner and that's uh for but everything else the pling
050board is fine engineer is fine with it. That's it. Any comments questions? All right. Thank you so much Charlie. No problem Charlie. So Kathy's walking back in the room and we'll wait to go to liaison reports. All right. Yep. We're up to liaison report. Terrific. Thank you, Tom. Yes. Thank you, madam supervisor. Uh start off with the Amagan citizens advisory committee. We'll be meeting next Monday 6:30 p.m. at the school library. It open government continues. Um we're getting some feedback from uh residents on this you know understanding that you know why do we still have paper copies some want to understand um why we don't have more paper copies I it's an evolving operation I will say that you know one kind of aspect of design when it comes to any IT program is you
051design it for your weakest users um so it is kind of more basic than some people have seen elsewhere um but it continues to function well and certainly operationally from our perspective um it's reduced kind of the workflow in some of the departments which has been very helpful in moving um the processes up. You know, I think one thing to emphasize to the public in this is that in order for your application to proceed smoothly, there is definitely an onus on you as the applicant to ensure the information you submit in your application is correct. If you need help ever checking that, you can reach out to the relevant departments to do so. There are staff on hand to help you with that. um human services. Um for those who've been driving down Springs Fireplace
052Road, you will see um the front of the building is newly painted. Um we continue to improve that center that that follows the repair of the back of the building with wood. Um thank you to both the buildings and maintenance department and Isaac for that job. Um it is looking dramatically improved. Um I went to visit to this uh Friday um center last Friday having lunch with some of the residents there. One thing that did come up in conversation with the residents that I will be discussing with the human services director is they do feel that we might want to revisit the decision not to continue adult care. Um they they see that as a growing need in the community. So that's something I'll be discussing um going forward. Um other things going on just
053to let you know that Ashwag classes are suspended for the summer months as the hall is in high demand during that time. It will be back in September. And to remind people uh that there is also the art program going on this week with Kate Goldman. Um sanitation as uh Genie Corrosa pointed out we're just accepting the bid for the new lean 2. Um the 1.9 million for a lean 2 is pretty staggering number for something that structurally is fairly straightforward. um just some concerns with the level of engineering that goes into these things and you know whether going forward we as a board kind of want to look are there ways to you know amend that to have less engineering and lower the potential costs. Um other piece on sanitation just to kind of
054call out here is that as with Memorial Day the recycling centers will be open on the national holiday of Junth. ADU implementation will be meeting on the 12th of this month um with the goal of bringing forward the next work session on that topic. Um East End Fire Commissioners um I was unable to make the meeting last week but we are working across different fire districts. Um, I met with the director of public works yesterday to discuss the state of the the uh fire roads across the town and what the correct process would be for different fire districts to address getting those repaired. Um, so I will be reaching out to the individual fire districts um to understand if they have concerns in their specific districts with their fire roads. Uh, and then the Department
055of Public Works would go out and review that and as appropriate, the town would then do emergency resolutions to address as needed. Um it's obviously something that you know is is critical with increased fire risks out here. So um just we'll be moving forward with that. Public safety just a reminder to Monttok residents that the Monttok siren on um Industrial Road is currently in the process of being replaced. So that will not be sounding for any major alarm. So reminder for all emergency responders out there to keep your pages on. Disabilities Advisory M. Uh no update this week. um Eastampton Youth Task Force. Um request came through to me from Legislator Welker um from a resident about the possibility of youth government in the town. Um you know, the town doesn't currently have a system
056for youth or high school age kids to get involved with government. Um so I've I've been in contact with a East Hampton High School student about possibly bringing some form of that back in potentially a mock legislature program. Perh legislative Welker's recommendation, I'll also be reading out to um Assemblyman Shioone who used to run a similar program in Southampton. Um antibbias task force will be meeting June 11th. Um it's rather important meeting for all committee members. We're actually going to be discussing whether this committee should continue into 2026 and we'll be reviewing the mission statement and goals of the committee arts council committee. Uh I want to mention that June 12th there will be an artists in paradise discussion. um at LTV Studios. It's uh 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Um it will be available on
057LTV afterwards. This is really again just discussion of some of the the issues that artists are facing in our community at the moment and what different entities including the town can do to help um secure the future of artists out here. Business committee um we have a meeting coming up on the 18th um just via discussions. There's continued concerns with you know the speed of process with building department applications. Want to be clear this is not a criticism in any way of the employees in the department rather desire to understand uh what we're changing relating to the process to improve operations. Um the top we will be meeting on the 18th and there will be a topic of discussion they've asked for what to bring forward recommendations for changes in operations to improve the flow
058um of applications through that department. If any members of the public or business wish to join that meeting, please contact my office. Emergency preparedness. Um still waiting from the emergency preparedness coordinator for the table talk through um scheduling of the FRES presentation and updates on Red Cross and specifically a tabletop exercise with regards to hurricanes. Uh and additionally, uh updates to the town's emergency preparedness websites. Um you know there is concern I've raised this before that you know ensuring we have adequate resources in that department to get these things done. Uh so that will be discussion as to what we want to see from the committee um from from the emergency preparedness department moving forward. tick control. Um just you know from all the medical practitioners out here um the Stony Brook group um very
059correctly mentioned that there is a an excellent um East End tick resource out here that Stony Brook does provide. Uh for anyone who has questions, they do have a nurse line that you're able to contact should you have any potential symptoms. Uh the number for that is 6317268425. Uh you can also go on to their website which is eastendickerresource.org. um you know they just want to call out with the high risk going on right now please adhere to the warnings that are on public trails and you know make sure you're following guidance if you are out on the trails or outdoors with regards to peromethine for clothing. Um you know the schools uh they al the medical professionals have also asked that we reach out to the schools and ensure they're up to date on
060all the current guidance as well. For any members of the public who would like additional paper copies of information, there are copies of uh literature from the uh East End organization in the main lobby of town hall. And then lastly for the wildlife committee, um we are scheduling our next meeting to be a walkthrough of the Grassy Hollow Preserve. For the members of the public who don't know about this area, this is a fenced off area of a town reserve. Uh and one of the kind of reasons for fencing it off is to ascertain you know what the true impact of the deer is um on the undergrowth and the ecosystem out here. So the wildlife committee will be going out there to review that and kind of begin to give their feedback on what
061we might see there. Everything for me. Yeah. Dear disclosure. Yeah. Yeah. I'm glad to see that because it's been a couple years. So see how it goes. Um madam supervisor so uh we have some changes to the Montalk Playhouse pickle ball uh for this current month of June. Uh the specific changes that there will be outreach by the parks and recreation is that there will be residenton only pickle ball play for Saturdays and Sundays at the Montalk Playhouse. Any questions or concerns, please contact the superintendent of recreation, John Rooney. Uh but it' be full open play for all individuals during the week, but Saturday and Sundays it'll be held to resident only. Um we want to remind everyone that there is still ongoing marine boating courses happening. Anyone that's got a boat and wants a
062captain boat needs a new marine boating uh uh verification certification, please contact uh Tin Treadwell or our marine uh marine patrol division to find out where those meetings are. I had conversations with the Army Corps of Engineers this week twice uh also with uh Assemblyman Skione. Uh first the easy one was is that the removals of the Army Corps of Engineers crossovers in downtown Montalk are about to go out but the bids about to be let and that's going to be going out and probably be be completed as requested after Memorial Day closer to October. Uh the second one was about the dredging project in Montalk Lake Montalk Harbor on there that is on full schedule still as the town has received all the easements that's needed. Uh, and that bid is about to be
063let out and it's actually online for review right now. So, that's all in good uh in good flow. I appreciate the army corps and their team and also the state assemblymen for reaching out on that. Uh, in Montalk uh also I want to let everyone know there are changes that have started to uh to the the train schedule upcoming. Please make sure that any of your uh family members or also your u uh your staff might know be aware of those summer train chain changes there then too. Um last night we had the Montalk CAC again. Emily Master, the chief administrative officer for Stony Brook Hospital who was here also gave a nice presentation. It was a really nice question and answer. They know what's there but we wanted to have the residents just question
064and and answer those questions. And I appreciate Stony Brook Medicine not just being here today but also last night and coming to these uh outreach meetings so willing uh willingly and also with such great information. Uh the aquaculture lease program which is the Suffach County aquaculture lease program. There is uh openings for public comment period on there and that public comment period is for some new proposed sites. Uh please contact uh the Suffach County lease a coastal lease program for more information on that. Um let's see here. Uh as an advisory, there is paving currently happening today uh at the the roundabout area at the intersection of Stevens Path and also Long Lane that's going to go all the way up to Cedar Street. Please expect delays in that area and detours as the paving
065should be completed by today and that project's moving forward steadily. Uh and that's all I have. Thank you very much. Thank you, David Kate. Yes. Uh thank you. Um the litter action committee met after their presentation here and we had had followup on uh whose responsibility it was going to be to contact board members on on some of the ideas that they had. Um they also had a couple of new ideas um regarding um the issue of uh dog poop on the beach. And I'd like to remind everybody it's not just enough to put it in a plastic bag. You need to remove it from the beach whether there's a can there or not. it is your responsibility. Please be responsible community members. Um so they were talking about maybe a sticker on each of
066the we provide the plastic bags maybe on that receptacle that could be a reminder for people that they need to take it with them as well. Uh they're seeing this is becoming a larger and larger problem. Um and then a number of the ideas uh that we'll be uh reaching out to um to my colleagues on and some department heads. Um I am uh happy to say that the RFP for the MTalk co downtown coastal resiliency grant is uh attracting a lot of attention. We're going to extend the deadline on that. Um folks have been very interactive with Gene Corros Roza and her department. Um so there's they're being told that there's a brief extension to be able to answer questions etc. Um the uh uh ditch plains dune restoration project I'm happy to uh
067report that the DEEC has given us a notice of a complete application. Uh that triggers a 90-day comment period and then uh we should see the issuance of that permit. That work is on schedule to happen this fall. Um the Wayne Scott Citizens Advisory Committee meets this Saturday at 9:00 a.m. in the chapel. Um the sustainability committee also met and uh we talked about a number of topics. First I want to highlight um the work that they're doing through Gloria Frzy on the atome backyard composting program. um that's going to be moving forward and there'll be more information upcoming. Maybe that's a work session topic um as well to as we start out on that program on how easy it is to compost in your own backyard completely removing the food waste from the waist
068stream. Um and that will be an important component as next year as in the future when the Brook Haven landfill closes that the food waste has a direct impact. Last year they in a two-month pilot program uh there was over $3,000 $3,000 3,000 lbs of food waste removed from the waist stream. Um and we'll continue to work on that. The committee is working on a tweak of the not a ban but a tweak of the leaf blower um codes in the town. They'll be uh sending that out to individual board members for comment and then make a recommendation. Um Kim Shaw told us about a new policy at the state to not replant uh street trees that die in their uh in their um jurisdiction. Uh there was a lot of concern about that from
069the committee and they'll be reaching out to uh their assemblymen uh regarding this new policy. Um I uh the committee talked about the impacts of Airbnb on sustainability uh not just Airbnb that's a platform but short-term rentals through these platforms and there's now multiple multiple platforms and investment companies uh and in hotels that are also offering short-term rentals. Um I'll be bringing that forward in the near future for the community and the town board and they have a list of uh sustainability issues including water use, traffic, etc. that they see happening. There are positives and negatives just like anything else in our community and we just need to make sure that we have appropriate balance of both of those issues. Um let's see what else I have. I just want to also um let folks
070know that um we do require uh special event permits for special events. If there if you're having over 50 people at your home or if you the cars cannot fit on your lot, those are just two of the items that trigger the need for a special events permit. Also, if you're having any type of a catered event on town property, if you're planning a wedding ceremony, if you're using any of the parks or public spaces for any type of event, uh please reach out to uh Ann Marie Lamperek at uh 631-3242620 for information on what and whether or not you require a special event permit. Um we're coming into the super high season for special events. They're processing quite a number of them and we want to make sure that you're not going to be
071charged any kind of late fees or receive a summons for an event that's not properly permitted. And uh that is all I have. Thank you, Kate. Ian, on May 21st, the property management committee met. Uh I want to thank council member uh Flight, Tom Flight, for for joining us. The main topic of conversation was the Brook Parks property. Um there's a lot of discussion about the future of use of that property and the structures that are um you know have been there and there's been a lot of discussion of how that'll be used and uh it was nice to have the the property management committee meet with the group who is focused particularly on the arts and the history there and I think it was the start of what will be a long conversation but
072I thought it was very constructive and again want to thank Tom for for helping to facilitate that. Uh the next day we had a subcommittee of the same of the property management committee meet to talk about the management plan for 66 uh Main Street Wayne Scott which is of course the Osborne property in Wayne Scott that that is universally loved and there's three beautiful structures there and again uh we want to write a management plan to talk about the future use of that property and eventually lead to a lency. Um we'll follow up later in the month with the full committee um to to to advance both of those discussions. Machab Community Housing Advisory Board met on May 28th. Uh I want to send a a really heartfelt thank you to Katie Casey from Eastampton
073Housing Authority who came. Um I'm almost positive they're the bigger biggest provider of affordable housing in terms of rentals in town. If not the biggest, they're one of them, but I think they're the biggest and and Katie just came to share a wealth of knowledge about how they operate, what they do. Um and it was really really helpful and I think the whole committee appreciated it. Um, another thing just to say about CHAB and we're very happy to have that half percent tax for housing purposes, but the more and more we look at the the problem that exists, the more we realize how little money that really is for for a very big problem and how important it is that we, you know, use it thoughtfully. Um, egg advisory will meet this uh next Thursday,
074June 12th. Um, and another thank you is due there. I think that the main topic of conversation will be um something that's been going on for some time. The a advisory committee has asked for a review of sort of site plan uh criteria uh for for a structures. Currently, their classification for residential and commercial agriculture is sort of a different use. Um, and they've they've been talking about this for some time, but the planning department, Tina and Chris Stecker, came back with a very very thoughtful reply to the types of things they were asking for, what was sort of achievable, what was difficult, and um, we'll have that that conversation at this a advisory committee meeting. And I hope that once we sort of clarify the things that we might be able to do in
075the short term, medium-term, we'll bring it back to this board. Um, but again, a lot the planning department's incredibly busy and I know a lot went into um that that detailed response and I and I appreciate it. Uh, lastly, it I mentioned this I think previously, but it's the Spring Historical Society's 50th anniversary. Um, and there's great excitement in Springs about that and a lot of good events happening. Uh, tonight there's a meet the author event at 6 p.m. at Ashwog Hall. Uh, Irene Cairo, who's a physician psychiatrist and has a book of short stories, will be there. Um, I encourage everybody to attend. Um, and then on June 8th, there is a another exhibit opening uh called Springs Women, which is a small works curated by Casey Delene. Um, and there will be a
076reception on June 8th from 11 to 1. Um, and then later in the month, I'll keep you guys informed. I don't want to get too far ahead of myself, but there's a lot of good events um throughout the summer and throughout the year to celebrate the 50th anniversary. I guess the last one I'll I'll I'll say is coming up on June 14th, Saturday, the Parson's blacksmith shop will be open with the the forge fired up and a blacksmith there. Um and I encourage everybody to attend. Great. Thank you, Ian. So, I wanted to share we're we're back in the season. So, um I have the East Hampton Town Police Department statistics for Memorial Day weekend. There were 269 total calls for service. 23 noise complaints. 18 were residential. Five were commercial. Two establishments received violations.
077There were 13 town ordinances were issued. 10 arrests, including three DWIs, 11 accidents, and 29 aided cases. One notable case was when an 88-year-old man with dementia went missing the Friday evening of Memorial Day weekend. A coordinated effort of multiple agencies responded including our town police patrol units, our drone unit, K the K9 group from Southampton and Suffach County Police Department aviation and the East Hampton Town Police Department's drone unit ultimately located the gentleman on Saturday afternoon. And I have to say I was actually in the town car that day with the radio on and heard the the how that whole thing went down and it was quite remarkable and it was outstanding work by our police department and everyone and fire department EMTs that got the man to Southampton Hospital and um fortunately he
078was okay. And that is just that's the second missing person's case we've had in three weeks and both were had happy endings. Thank God. Uh this Thursday we're going to have the swearing in of six uh town police officers who have recently been promoted. Captain Gregory Martin, Lieutenant Kenneth Alvera, Detective Sergeant Frank Sokalowski, Sergeant Andrew NMO, Sergeant Patrick Royal, and Detective Brett Hurley. That's always um an uplifting experience. Their family and friends come and uh our town clerk Carol Brennan will be swearing them in. uh the East Hampton uh Sag Harbor CAC met last night and we had Marty Cullinin as our uh director of code enforcement as the g as our special guest. He spoke and took took questions for over an hour at the meeting. Uh questions and topics uh discussed ranged from
079residential noise. folks were um actually in surprised to hear that the code only allows outdoor amplified music before 900 pm. If folks want to have uh amplified music outdoors after 9:00 p.m., that requires a special event permit. We also talked about the rental registry and felt that they felt that folks needed to be reminded that the rental registry permit needs to be renewed every two years. We talked about signs and visual pollution. Uh Marty went through staffing and summer patrols and how his team operates and they were also very happy to hear about the new effort that uh code enforcement is going to be proactive on and that's getting folks to secure their load in their vehicles particularly when they're going over to the um recycling centers both in East Hampton and Monttok. Um I
080would like to uh just we have two resolutions on I believe Kate you're the sponsor um we've um in relations to the building department you folks know we're currently in the process of hiring a new chief building inspector um but that process takes time we had to you know go through um the list of applicants we had I believe nine interviews we're bringing uh candidates back for um to meet with the town board. So this process is going it takes time. They also need to give notice to uh where they're working. So we don't foresee having a new uh building inspe chief building inspector until sometime in July. So in the meantime, we've brought in Richard Vakio. He's been retained as a consultant to temporarily manage the department. Uh Mr. Vakio brings decades of municipal
081experience, including serving as the senior building inspector in the town of Huntington. He will provide leadership and support for the day-to-day operations of the department until a permanent chief building inspectors in place. And to further bolster the department's operations during the busy summer season, we've also appointed Anne Glennon, everyone remembers an as a temporary principal office assistant. Uh she folks may know she began her service in 1993 with the town and rose through every administrative role before becoming the East Hampton's first woman principal building inspector. She retired in 201 I'm sorry that she was appointed that in 2015. She retired in 2023 and uh we were um had recognized her for her outstanding public service. We're uh thrilled that she is willing to come in for the next few weeks to help the team catch
082up and is we've transitioned now to open gov and um I think we've got a great temporary team in place until we can hire um the chief building inspector. So I think that's all I've got one more thing to that. Um, also I do want to acknowledge and thank the staff uh when in the transition to open gov. There was a hybrid um permit acceptance. You could either do it in a hard copy or you could do it online to give folks time the necessary time to get used to the system because when you're entering a building permit uh it sounds like it's one pager but as everybody knows it's plans and engineering plans. It's they're quite involved applications during that transition period. The staff uh anyone who came in with paper copies which at
083that time was the majority. Um the staff was entering each application manually as if they were the applicant. Took up a lot of staff time and I want to thank them that they actually came in on weekends to be able to accomplish that task. However, now that transition period is over and all applications as they are in the planning department, code enforcement and fire marshals department are open gov through the online system. And I just wanted to add that. Great. Thank you, Kate. So, now we're on to resolutions. Tom, you have the first one. Yes. 2025789. Uh, this is to extend the drawing and painting instruction uh for classes scheduled June 10th and June 24th at 2 p.m. at a cost to the town not to exceed $200. Second. All in favor? I'm happy to

Resolution 794 is to accept road improvement contribution from urban renewal parcel 47 in Whale Bone Woods. And
086this Can I just call for discussion? I mean, well, sec second. Mr. Buddha had come to the to the podium and talked about this. I don't know Charlie if you can fill us in on some background information or if this is something we should just move to Thursday and we can get the information. Wellone Woods as could you just talk into the microphone? Well Bone Woods was developed in the 80s from my understanding to be for housing for well you know affordable housing. The town did the roads. They paved everything. They put the drainage in. They did all of that instead of the normal process where people go and you develop the roads as the property becomes developed because the town did it all at once. And now instead of having people do the roads
087are done. So now the money is just the town recoups it over time. They're basically getting towns getting paid back for work done in the 80s. and and that that's uh reflected in the language you're going to read in the resolution. Okay. Shall I continue? Sure. Okay. A resolution 2025 794 accept road improvement contribution urban renewal parcel 47 Wellone Woods.

The amount of such contribution to be determined in accordance with the road improvement
088unit uh dictated by the urban renewal map and uh this is resolved that the payment set forth uh is accepted by the town.
