Town of Babylon approves 32 license renewals by affidavit

The Town of Babylon board approved 32 license renewals by affidavit during its Oct. 8 meeting, moving each item as a routine consent-style action and recording voice votes in favor.

The board opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and a roll call before the presiding official announced the evening would focus solely on renewals by affidavit. Each renewal was introduced by staff and followed by a motion—frequently "Motion by Stephanie, seconded by Carolyn" or similar pairings—after which the board recorded a voice vote of "Aye." The items covered properties across West Babylon, North Babylon, Lindenhurst, Deer Park, Wheatley Heights and nearby localities, including applicants listed as Barnes, Raman, Ganieri, Schmidtke and Bud, Koschatella and Rochka, Casimir, Yildirim, Agia, Spano, Voodoo, Lee Trust, Valentine, Athanna Satos, Ochoa, Televara, Virgio, Barbosa, Kopechke, De Cicio, Karchuski, Garcia, Bastian, Hobbins, Delupamar, Stachurski Trust, Dormer, Castle, Monaco Trust, Estevez, Mraib, Sabri and Bono.

The board also processed one affidavit transfer for an applicant identified as Guzman of Ulster Avenue in West Babylon; that transfer was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. No individual roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript; outcomes are recorded as voice approvals.

Board counsel Dave Bishop was present during the session. Several members explicitly recorded motions and seconds; when the transcript showed inconsistent name spellings (for example, one line transcribed 'Caroline' amid multiple references to 'Carolyn'), the board member name is represented consistently here as Carolyn, matching the transcript's predominant usage.

The board deferred two reserve-calendar items and proceeded to accept the minutes of Oct. 8, 2024, before adjourning. The meeting record indicates routine, noncontroversial approvals without extended debate or public testimony on the listed renewals.
