FINANCIAL REPORT

VILLAGE ROADS REPORT
Deputy Mayor Noone updated the Board on the Village’s 2019 Road Improvement Project which includes Bellows Lane, Stuart Place, Eakins Road and Burnham Place. The project is well underway with United Paving milling the streets this week followed by paving and road restoration. In addition, Nassau Avenue is having minor road repair due to on-going water issues.
NEW BUSINESS
Light the Night – Munsey Park Woman’s Club will again host Light the Night on December 8, 2019 with a rain date of December 15th or 16th. The Village of Munsey Park’s Second Annual Christmas Tree Lighting will occur on the same night as Light the Night. Additional information on these events to follow next month.
Extenet – Trustee Sabino stated that after a well-publicized hearing this spring the Munsey Park Board of Trustees granted Extenet’s application for a single wireless cell facility at the Village’s own triangle at the Northeast corner of Park Avenue and Manhasset Woods Road. To date, Extenet has taken no further steps to submit construction plans although they do have the legal right to do so at any time. Trustee Sabino wants to remind residents of this because of the recent actions of other neighboring villages who have denied or restricted Extenet’s ability to construct wireless cell facilities within their jurisdiction. The Village of Munsey Park has authorized only one such facility within our borders. Extenet satisfied all Federal requirements for doing so and especially provided scientific evidence that Extenet’s proposed facility falls well within the Federally mandated safety margins.
A Motion to close the meeting was made by Trustee Sabino and seconded Trustee D’Angelo and unanimously approved. The meeting was adjourned at 8:20 pm.
Questions and Comments were received from the following residents:
Mr. Dimitri Nikas
