Riverhead board previews resolutions, schedules ambulance-barn hearing and moves to executive session
Summary
During the July 16 work session staff read numerous upcoming resolutions, including a Monroe balancing-test public hearing for a Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance Corps ambulance barn at 1111 Osborn Avenue and a proposed 99-year RBAC lease; the board then voted to enter executive session for personnel, contractual and litigation matters.
At the July 16 work session a staff member read a lengthy slate of resolutions that will appear on the next town board packet and discussed related procedural matters.
Notable items read into the record included: a capital-project budget adjustment for the Water District (project 82517); a budget adoption for the Peconic River Hotel project (project 82613); authorization for the Riverhead Police Department to apply for DHS/FEMA funding for a high-speed rapid-response patrol vessel; and a public-hearing notice authorizing a Monroe balancing test for the Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance Corps (RVAC) ambulance barn at 1111 Osborn Avenue (Suffolk County tax map number 600-108-2-5).
A council member also said the deputy town attorney and town attorney are finalizing a proposed 99-year lease for RBAC tied to a new structure the organization will build on its property; the lease draft is expected in next week's packet.
Several proposed local-law amendments affecting town code chapters on zoning, fees, parking and wetlands were also read; most were presented as items for future board action rather than final adoptions.
At the meeting—nd the board took a first and second to move into executive session to discuss personal, contractual and litigation matters; the motion was seconded and carried with the board answering "Aye." No public votes on the listed resolutions were recorded during the work session; the reading functioned as an agenda preview.
Why it matters: the items scheduled for the next packet include land-use changes, a public hearing that could affect an ambulance facility, and a long-term lease that could shape RBAC's facility plans.
