Summary

Deputy Supervisor Devin Higgins presented a lengthy consent agenda including Pave New York grant budgets, personnel ratifications and resignations, multiple chapter 255 special-event approvals, a fireworks permit for Riverhead Raceway (08/08/2026), and a site-plan/special-permit matter for the Peconic River Hotel.

Deputy Supervisor Devin Higgins (speaker 8) read through the packet of resolutions on the consent agenda. Items included road-resurfacing grant budgets, budget adjustments for street lighting and water capital project 82301, donations (including a firehouse flag donation), personnel items (promotions, resignations, retirement), adoption of a gender-based-violence policy tied to federal funding, authorizations to apply for several grants (including a JCAP grant), professional-services agreements for traffic-signal redesign, multiple approved Chapter 255 special-event applications, an approved fireworks permit request for Riverhead Raceway on Aug. 8, 2026, and a grant of site-plan and special-permit approval for the Peconic River Hotel project on East Main Street.

Board members asked a few clarifying questions on select items (for example, where a drainage/state-road agreement might affect town-owned water mains). The packet included a resolution (32) to assume lead agency and issue a positive declaration for the proposed golf-course zoning amendments and resolution (33) to accept the draft scope for that GEIS.
