Public comment
During the public comment period, resident Mike Kennel said he believed people were living at a nearby property and causing nighttime noise, truck activity and litter. "We believe there's illegals in the house," Kennel said, adding that trucks were unloading at night, people were sleeping during the day and trash was being left in the street.
Mayor Fair and staff asked Kennel to provide contact information for follow-up. The transcript records that Jay Hunter (identified by the board during ceremonies and acknowledgments) and a Mr. Fox were to collect Kennel's information; Hunter was to follow up with the Nassau County Police Department's Fifth Precinct and report back to the resident.
Other public commenters reiterated concerns about noise, people walking on private property and damage to lawns. Board members said staff would pass the information on to the police and follow up.
The board also referenced a meeting schedule that extends through Aug. 18, 2025, before moving to executive session.
