Town of Brookhaven reads broad slate of resolutions; public hearings set for unsafe premises and district financing
Summary
The town clerk read a broad slate of resolutions and notices at the Town of Brookhaven meeting, including public hearings scheduled for June 12 on unsafe properties and June 26 hearings on refuse/recycling district financing and boundary changes; grant applications to HUD, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and New York State were also announced.
At the meeting the town clerk read an extended slate of resolutions and notices of public hearings and grant applications. Several items were notable for near‑term public hearings and grant activity.
The clerk said public hearings to consider premises declared unsafe at multiple addresses would be scheduled for June 12; the agenda items reference engineer reports from Casa Spinelli Ferretti LLC and others and offer affected owners the opportunity to be heard regarding securing or removing unsafe structures. A town representative urged an inspector visit to at least one property that participants said posed imminent collapse risk.
The clerk also read a resolution approving the 2025 annual action plan and citizen participation plan under the 2023–2027 consolidated HUD plan and authorizing the supervisor and deputy to execute required HUD documentation. Other funding and grant actions read into the record included a proposed application to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation's Long Island Sound Futures Fund to install wildlife tunnels at Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai to protect diamondback terrapins, and a proposed application to the New York State Department of State coastal rehabilitation and resilience program to restore 22 acres of salt‑marsh habitat in Mastic Beach.
Several infrastructure and procurement matters were listed, including award of bids for roadway and recharge basin reconstruction on Hagerman Avenue and capital professional service requisitions for ServiceNow and other projects. The clerk also read resolutions setting a June 26 public hearing regarding the method of financing services provided to the Brookhaven refuse and recycling district and another June 26 hearing to consider altering district boundaries to include a development in Quogue.
The transcript excerpt records the clerk reading and the board acknowledging the items; the record does not include final votes on the resolutions in the transcribed portion of the meeting and the board entered executive session after the resolutions were read.
