Board outlines May 19 propositions: small land conveyance for Randall Road safety and $40,000 for Wading River Historical Society
Loading...
Summary
The board described three ballot items to appear on the May 19 budget ballot, including Proposition 2 to convey ~4,375 sq ft at 100 Randall Road to the Town of Brookhaven for road/turning‑lane improvements and Proposition 3 to levy $40,000 annually (one‑time) for the Wading River Historical Society; both were presented for voter consideration.
Board business officials reviewed the propositions that will appear on the district’s May 19 ballot alongside the budget.
Proposition 2 requests voter authorization to convey or dedicate roughly 4,375 square feet at 100 Randall Road to the Town of Brookhaven at no consideration so the town can build a turning lane, adjust the LED sign and add a traffic signal timing improvement to improve safety at the Albert G. Bridal Middle School entrance. The presenter described the change as a partnership where the town performs most construction; the district would relocate the sign and remove a few trees. The proposition cites Education Law §405 as the conveyance authority.
Proposition 3 requests voter authorization to raise $40,000 for payment of operational and maintenance expenses on behalf of the Wading River Historical Society and Museum (one‑time appropriation). The presenter said the society is chartered and may request a proposition under Education Law §259; if approved the levy would appear on school tax bills as a passthrough.
Administrators said both items will be explained in the district budget newsletter and during upcoming public presentations ahead of the May 19 vote.
