Village Board approves $1.5 million certiorari bondby Jim Golding

At a highly contentious village boardmeeting on Monday, trustees authorized$1.5 million in bonds to settle nearly 50 taxcertiorari judgments, awarded several con-tracts, including one of $1.13 million forsolid waste and recyclables disposal, andset a public hearing for next year’s budget.

Lengthy discussions also took placeduring public comment by several resi-dents connected with the Police ActivityLeague strongly complaining aboutMayor Andrew Hardwick’s comments atthe last Village board meeting relating tothe PAL’s financial situation, and relatingto the North Main Street traffic safetyissue that has beleaguered the communityfor several months in the wake of fatali-ties at certain intersections.

The board’s action to authorize thebond sale drew sharp criticism from sev-eral residents, including former DeputyVillage Attorney Stephen Malone, whoreminded trustees about the state comp-troller’s recent audit that criticized thepractice of issuing bonds to pay for taxjudgments.

“Why are you doing it again?” hedemanded.

But Village Attorney Howard Coltonresponded that “the state comptroller saysthat of every municipality. It’s still a goodaccounting practice and noted that theboard had included about $800,000 in thecurrent year’s budget to “wean the villageoff bonding.”

Mr. Malone pressed trustees aboutwhat is being done to avoid “borrowingfrom taxpayers” for future tax settle-ments.

Mr. Colton stated that next year’s pro-posed budget includes more funds to payfor such settlements.

The board also approved up to$175,000 in bonds for radio equipmentrequired by the federal government foruse in emergencies, which the FederalEmergency Management Agency(FEMA) is to reimburse.

Action on North MainThe board voted to prohibit parking or

stopping near four critical intersectionson North Main Street: up to 20 feet northalong the northerly curb line fromColonial Avenue; up to 55 feet southalong the southern curb line of East Dean;and no stopping or standing from thesoutherly curb line on the east side of

Woodside to Colonial; along the souther-ly curb line of the east side of East Miltonsouth for 68 feet; and along the southerlycurb line of East Dean south for 55 feet.

One resident did not think the actionsgo far enough to ensure pedestrian andmotorist safety. Toni McCullough, whosedaughter was killed on September 3 in acollision between her car and anothervehicle, demanded further action.

“How many more people have to losetheir lives?” she asked. “Do somethingabout it. Don’t wait until the next persongets killed or injured.”

Mayor Hardwick had recommendedseveral months ago that some of theabove named streets be made one-way toeliminate potential fatal collisionsbetween vehicles pulling onto NorthMain with fast-moving vehicles not easi-ly seen by their drivers.

The majority of trustees, however,urged that traffic and engineering studiesbe done to determine the best course ofaction.

Trustee Robert Kennedy said the boardhas been involved in studying the situa-tion on North Main and had been waitingfor traffic study reports from theDepartment of Public Works and the

Police Department.“We needed to hear from the experts so

we can determine what’s in the best inter-est of the entire community,” addedTrustee Carmen Pineyro.

Mayor Hardwick added there is norequirement for a study to be made, butthat the configuration of North Maincould change as a result of the rehabilita-tion program planned for the thorough-fare.

Resident Douglas Mayers commentedon the danger at Woodside Avenue andthat “60 feet is not a lot.” He asked thatfurther action be taken to ensure trafficsafety.

The mayor replied that “the best way toensure that no traffic is coming out [toNorth Main] is to make it one-way.”

Another resident, Earlene Skaites, saidshe was “not happy with ‘no parking’signs” and urged that the county installtraffic lights at the dangerous intersec-tions.

The mayor replied that an officialrequest was made to have traffic lightsinstalled, but that no action has takenplace yet.

Waste Disposal contractTrustees awarded European American

Waste Disposal Corp. of Wantagh the$1.13 million, one-year contract for thecollection of municipal solid waste con-sisting of household garbage and recy-clable materials.

Mayor Hardwick urged residents toimprove their efforts to recycle. “We’vegot to do better,” he said. “Recycling ismoney.”

Mr. Malone questioned how the costof the contract compares with that of lastyear. Superintendent of Public WorksScott Richardson responded that the vil-lage will save more than $300,000, eventhough the total tonnage collected hasincreased.

Trustee Kennedy commented that thedepartment “did a phenomenal job get-ting a low bid and considerable sav-ings.”

The village had received six bids forthe contract, ranging up to $2 million.The Wantagh firm’s was the lowest.

Resident Dewey Smalls questionedhow many bids were received fromfirms owned by women or minorities.Village officials did not have the infor-mation available.

Mr. Smalls urged them to “make surewomen and minorities are bidding onthese contracts. Bidding only by whitemales is unacceptable. Awarding a mil-lion-dollar contract without includingwomen and minorities is not fair.”

PAL discussionA lengthy discussion also took place

about the Police Activity League, withMichael Pomerico, who has been serv-ing as executive director, disputing themayor’s claims there are financial irreg-ularities in the organization.

“You make statements that are nottrue,” he said. Mr. Pomerico noted that

the mayor “insinuated at the December5 meeting I was stepping down” and get-ting burned out. But he said the newboard asked him to stay on. He addedthat “No other [police] officer wants totake over.”

He also noted that the organization’sfunding has been cut in half and not asmany students have registered.

Sue Lyons, who serves as PAL treas-urer, disputed Mayor Hardwick’s char-acterization of the organization’s finan-cial situation as ”dirty” and that fundswere “misappropriated.”

PAL board member Gordon Radelichcommented, “There’s no misappropria-tion of funds,” and that “PAL is a vitaland important organization” for childrenwho participate in the program. “Wetake them off the street and give themproductive things to do.”

He continued, “We’re all volunteersand I am offended by the [commentsmade at] the December 5 meeting.”

Mr. Malone demanded “a resoundingapology” from the mayor. “You oweevery volunteer an apology for sayingit’s ‘dirty.’ ”

The mayor replied he “never said thevolunteers were dirty. It’s somethingthat needs to be handled and it’s theorganization’s responsibility to do that.He said he had received complaintsfrom residents whose children were pro-gram participants. “Many members saidthey felt intimidated and threatened.”

Mr. Malone apologized on behalf ofthe village to the PAL officials present.

Public hearings setThe board set January 9 as the date for

the public hearing on the proposed2012-13 budget, and also to consider aproposed $126,000 contract with theFreeport Fire Department.

Trustees also set a hearing onFebruary 6 to amend the village code

article regulating the dimensions andweights of vehicles by adopting the useof scales.

New appointmentsMayor Hardwick administered oaths

of office to new zoning board memberJoysetta Pearce and alternate memberJohn Remasen; and the promotion todetective of Freeport Police OfficerTimothy Seaman.

Other comments• Paul Martin accused trustees of not

following proper Board of Electionsrules and that five residents are filing alawsuit. He at first said the filings wereto have been with the City of New YorkBoard of Elections, but changed hisstatement to the state of New YorkBoard of Elections. Trustee WilliamWhite said the filings were done withthe Village Clerk’s office and are avail-able through a Freedom of InformationLaw (FOIL) request.

• Annette Dennis accused Mr. White,as part of the previous administration, of“malfeasance” because of operatingdeficits, according to the state auditreport.

• Jerry Lamonica raised issues relatingto boat clearances in the canals and com-plained that his boat was rammed byanother boat.

ADVENT AT DE LA SALLE: The students of The De La Salle School gathered in Our HolyRedeemer Church on December 15 and celebrated Christmas hope with their 10th annualAdvent Prayer Service. They wove together Bible readings, their own prayers, and seasonalchoral music into a time of praise. Parents, parishioners, trustees, benefactors, and volun-teer tutors comprised the congregation. The students served as the lectors, the vocalists, therecorder players and a few were “little drummer boys.” The De La Salle School is a place ofhope grounded in an awareness that we are in the holy presence of God. Indeed, the convic-tion that God is with us is the center of what we celebrate at Christmas. As Denilson, a sev-enth-grader, said after the service, “This school is giving me a good background for my future.”Colleen Boyette prepared the vocalists and Kevin Rall coordinated the service.

Bc creative this holiday seasonMadison Avenue dictates many of the gifts on our holiday

shopping lists, especially those for the kids. Others requiremore thought. Some of the most imaginative and appreciat-ed gifts can be had right here in our hometown, sparing usfrom crowded parking lots at the malls and big box storesand helping support the local economy. Local merchantshelp pay for local schools and services and they often spon-sor local teams and give to local houses of worship.

Here are a few of our favorite presents given orreceived during holidays past:

• A Keepsake Golden Anniversary clock from VincenteJewelers in Freeport.

• Resetting a cherished ring at Gennaro Jewelers inBellmore, where they also served ruggulah while we waited.

• A gold leaf to leave the cell phone on from Nature’sMuseum in Bellmore.

• Sheet music for a Taylor Swift song special ordered byNew World Music Center in Baldwin and getting afavorite guitar repaired.

• A beanie bear from Merrick Flower Shoppe and achance to visit with the folks who have helped sponsorSanta’s visit for many years.

• A gift certificate for hot yoga sessions.• Calendars for all the family featuring the wedding

photos and created at J&D Card and Gift Emporium inNorth Merrick.

• A kit from the post office in Wantagh that lets you cre-ate your own postage stamps using a photo of a lovedone.

• Dinner at The Schooner on the Nautical Mile inFreeport.

• Chipping in for an operation for a beloved pet.• One lady at the local drug store was buying 10 flash-

lights, one for everyone in her family. She said they wouldbe useful for the folks and fun for the kids. Great idea!

Perhaps these ideas will also help you as last-minuteshopping ideas. And may we add that a gift subscriptionto your hometown paper lasts for 52 weeks!

We are happy to report one of our Merrick readers sawthe ad about “Boutique Alley” in Wantagh and Seaford,enjoyed discovering them, and also finding out where theCurtain Shoppe had moved. Many younger readersattended the Toxin concert in Bellmore benefiting Toysfor Tots. And Luanne’s in Merrick is giving a good chunkof its last-minute shopping sales to United Cerebral Palsy.Mutts and Butts in Merrick donated a truckload of petfood to Bobby and the Strays Animal Shelter in Freeport.Now that’s the holiday spirit!

6 A holiday messageMy wish for the Jewish and Christian

community alike is that this holiday seasonbe one of fulfillment and happiness for all.

In continuing to celebrate our ownreligious traditions and customs we pro-vide for ourselves and our children andtheir children, the opportunity to holdsacred the values and teachings thatenrich our collective multi-culture lega-cy. In these days of rapidly changingvalues, and the rise of social media, it isoften difficult to obtain and confirm theproper social and ethical mandates thathave guided us religiously for centuries.

In the traditions and stories of ourreligious experiences we can find arenewal of spirit at this season toguide and sustain us. If the season ofChanukah and Christmas is always toremain one of peace and good will,then the teachings of faith asexpressed in each of our religiousmoments have to be seen as uniqueexpressions of hope.

There are alarming reports of increas-ing incidents of religious intolerance,bigotry and documented hate crimes

being carried out in the greater NewYork area this year. Whatever the rea-sons cited by experts for why this is so,is irrelevant. What is important is thatwe have an opportunity in this season torecommit ourselves to the principlesupon which this country was founded.

The pattern of America is a blend ofcultures from many lands, woven ofthreads from many corners of the world.Diversity itself is the pattern ofAmerica. Religious diversity is the fab-ric out of which the American dream ofequality was honed.

Seeking to achieve a true state ofcommunity and to reap the full benefitsof this diversity we should seek to knowmore about the experiences, qualities,hopes and achievements of the manyneighborhoods who not only have madeAmerica, but those, as well, who havemade our village.

“Open our eyes, O God, that we maysee Your image in all and accept grate-fully the gifts that each race, creed andnationally brings to our American life.”

– Rabbi Dr. Lawrence M. Colton

Nassau County Legislator DavidDenenberg (LD 19) is calling on stateAttorney General Eric Schneiderman toinvestigate the legality of privatizing thecounty’s sewage treatment plants as wellas its contract with Morgan Stanley.

The firm was awarded a contract toevaluate and formulate a request for pro-posal (RFP) for the privatization, throughsale or lease, of Nassau County’s sewagetreatment infrastructure and assets.

The county has three sewage treatmentplants including the Cedar Creek WaterPollution Control Plant in Seaford, theBay Park water treatment facility in EastRockaway and the Glen Cove treatmentplant.

Legislator Denenberg made thisannouncement at a press conference at theCedar Creek Park on Thursday, December15. A formal letter calling for an investi-gation was sent to state Attorney GeneralEric Schneiderman and state ComptrollerThomas DiNapoli on Wednesday,December 14.

“The Republican majority just ratifiedan inside contract with Morgan Stanleywhich was entered into clandestinely 18months ago,” said Mr. Denenberg in anews release.

“Under the contract we are spending$500,000 of taxpayer money to figure outhow to sell sewage treatment plants thatwere built with federal and state funds.How can we ever sell public assets builtwith public money?”

But the county has defended its positionin its mutli-year plan, pointing to other“U.S. governments that have successfullypursued similar P3 transactions.”

The memorandum regarding the con-tract with Morgan Stanley from

Timothy P Sullivan, deputy countyexecutive of finance, stated “it is antic-ipated that this transaction will generatenet revenue of approximately $400 mil-lion for the county and aid in bridgingthe gap to achieving long-term recurringbudgetary balance. Additionally, thistransaction will retire approximately$465 million of debt.”

But last week a rating service, Fitch,downgraded the county’s bond rating,citing among other things the sale ofthe sewage treatment assets for one-shot revenue being used to balance thebudget.

Mr. Denenberg, in his letter, wrote thatthe proposed privatization “is a classicone-shot budget gimmick that will resultin higher sewage charges to taxpayersand less public oversight of this vitalcounty function and environmentalissue.”

Mr. Denenberg is also requesting thatthe investigation look at the MorganStanley contract with the county and“whether state municipal laws and/orregulations with respect to proper bid-ding processes and proper contractingprocesses were violated.”

The contract was first brought to theLegislature for a Rules Committee reviewand vote on December 5, althoughMorgan Stanley had been retained in thespring of 2010 for $24,500.

This newspaper previously reportedthat Morgan Stanley will receive$100,000 for its contact with the coun-ty per quarter for 2012 as well asanother $100,000 for the last quarterof 2011.

The contract never went before theentire Legislature. It was put through as a

rules-only contract. Personal service con-tracts, such as this one, do not have to beapproved by the entire Legislature.Additionally, prior to the December 5vote, Morgan Stanley had been hired for$24,500, a sum that does not need fulllegislative approval.

“The Republicans, including DennisDunne and Peter Schmitt, voted for thecontract,” Mr. Denenberg told this paperin an earlier interview. “It couldn’t havepassed without Dennis’ vote.”

But Legislator Dennis Dunne (LD-15)said “misinformation is being given out.This vote was for the Morgan Stanley

contract only to explore our options, notfor privatization. I did what everyoneshould do. I did my due diligence for astudy that might help us find a way toremove some of the tax burden to thepeople of Nassau County.”

He added, “This will be an above-board process. I told Tim Sullivan theremust be public hearings so that there isa record, so that everything is transpar-ent. But it may never happen and if itdoes, I will listen to what the peoplewant. If they want me to vote no, I’llvote no.”
