Supervisor Reports DEC Parking Upgrades, Ranger Resignation and Cell Tower Update
Summary
Supervisor Brooks reported DEC completed upgrades at Peekamoose/Blue Hole parking with a ribbon-cutting on July 9, DEC ranger Howard Kreft is resigning to take a NYC DHS post, cameras were installed at campground dumpsters, and a proposed Brooks Hill Road cell tower is no longer viable while a Sagandorff site may support emergency communications.
Supervisor David Brooks updated the board on several matters. He relayed an NYS DEC notice that major upgrades at Peekamoose/Blue Hole parking and trail were complete and that a ribbon-cutting is scheduled for July 9, 2025 at 11:00 a.m.; he also noted DEC has installed cameras at campground dumpster sites. Brooks said Howard Kreft, a NYS DEC forest ranger, announced his resignation after 12 years to accept a new position with the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services in New York City.
On local communications infrastructure Brooks reported the proposed cell tower on Brooks Hill Road in Sundown "is dead" and that "the only viable one at this point is at Sagandorff’s to aid with emergency communications." The board discussed parking-area closures and speed-limit concerns around Frost Valley and Peekamoose Road. There were no formal actions taken on the cell tower during the meeting; the supervisor framed these as progress and situational updates for future consideration.
