North Hempstead Town Board sets 2026 dates, approves multiple routine measures and funds engineering for North Hempstead Beach Park bulkhead
Summary
The board set its 2026 meeting calendar, adopted several minor local laws and resolutions (including tow‑truck law amendments and multiple ordinances), and approved an engineering contract to design a simpler bulkhead replacement plan at North Hempstead Beach Park aimed at securing DEC approval.
At its regular meeting the Town of North Hempstead Town Board took a number of routine actions, set next year’s meeting calendar and moved forward on shoreline preservation work.
Calendar and procedural votes: The board passed a resolution setting Town Board meeting dates for calendar year 2026 and confirmed the first meeting of the new year for January 7 at 7:00 p.m. A public hearing on a local law amending Chapter 55 (tow trucks) was closed with no public comment and the law was adopted by roll call.
Consent calendar and miscellaneous items: The board adopted its consent calendar for items 14–52 with selected items pulled for separate consideration. Several public hearings on street and ordinance matters (including rescue / rescission and other small‑scale ordinances affecting local streets) were closed and adopted where no one appeared to speak.
North Hempstead Beach Park bulkhead engineering: The board approved a professional services agreement with LK McLean Associates for engineering and surveying services to design bulkhead replacement at North Hempstead Beach Park. Officials said the town has sought DEC permitting for years and that the DPW commissioner had discussed a simpler design approach with DEC; the approved contract funds the design work intended to secure DEC approval so the shoreline and walkway can be preserved.
Other actions: The board continued some hearings without date (for example Tab Motors redevelopment), approved the Glenwood Hook and Ladder fire protection contract for calendar year 2025, and handled other personnel and administrative resolutions. The meeting ended with seasonal remarks and an announcement about a town menorah lighting event.
What happens next: planning and DPW will administer follow‑up tasks: planning will monitor permit and building‑permit compliance for adopted land‑use items; purchasing/DPW will proceed with engineering design and DEC submittal for the beach‑park bulkhead.
