Board of Trustees Update March 24, 2015
The Board of Trustees hopes this update finds everyone well. With the beginning of spring finally upon us, the Board is busy getting to work on assessing our roads, finalizing our 2016 Budget, and refining our road bonds. Please take a moment to read this update as there are some important issues and upcoming dates residents should be aware of.
VILLAGE ELECTIONS: On March 18th the Village held elections for Mayor and two Trustee positions. Sean Haggerty was elected Mayor, Frank Demento and Patrick Hance were elected Trustees. Each will be sworn in during the April 15th meeting and serve a two year term. The Board of Trustees would like to thank Mayor Demento for his service during his term and are looking forward to working with residents in our new posts. The Village would also like to thank all of the residents who came out to vote.
SUBDIVISION 80 BELLOWS: On March 6, 2015, the Supreme Court of the State of New York denied the Dorris Moffitt Dailey 2001 Revocable Trust Article 78 petition, thereby upholding The Village of Munsey Park’s denial of the partition application.
TRAFFIC AND SAFETY: In response to numerous complaints regarding the new “No Turn on Red” sign on the NW corner of Manhasset Woods Road and Northern Boulevard, the Village has reached out to the NYSDOT for a proper explanation. After reviewing the work order and speaking to the DOT, it is clear that the Village was not contacted prior to installation as the DOT believed the intersection resided in the unincorporated TONH property. We agree with residents that the unintended consequences of the sign are far more dangerous than the intersection was. We hope to have a full report for concerned residents during our next Board meeting on April 15th.
ROAD BONDS: During our March meeting the Board approved resolutions related to road bonds. We plan to take advantage of the fact that the original bonds were issued for a shorter period than is allowed, and of lower interest rates, to refinance those bonds, and borrow an additional $250,000 for road work, while holding our annual debt service at the same level. We expect to move forward with the bond transactions later this spring.
2016 BUDGET INFO: At our next meeting, the Board will adopt a budget for the fiscal year starting June 1, 2015. We currently have revenue and expenses of approximately $1.9mm per year. Despite the Villages fixed costs, including trash removal and employee related costs continuing to rise; we are focused on keeping the overall costs to residents as low as possible while continuing to deliver the services we all enjoy. With that said, we continue to work with other local municipalities researching possible savings ideas.
VILLAGE COMMITTEES: The Board of Trustees would like to thank Kelly Towers for her time on the Tree Committee. Kelly has served for the past two years and the Board appreciates the time and energy she brought to her post.
VOLUNTEERS: If any residents have a desire to get involved with the Village, please reach out to Mayor DeMento or any of the other Trustees.
NEXT MEETING: Our next meeting will be Wednesday, April 15th at 7:30pm.

Board of Trustees Update February 2015
The Board of Trustees hopes all our residents made it through the recent snowstorms as well as possible. We also hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday season and wish everyone a Happy and Healthy 2015. Please see below for some of the highlights of what’s happening in and around the Village.
STORM MAINTENANCE: We would like to thank our dedicated staff and maintenance crew for their hard work maintaining and clearing the roads during the last few storms. We are grateful for their hard work and all the residents’ cooperation during these storms which ultimately makes getting around the Village a bit safer.
VILLAGE FEES: After hearing many residents complain of the complexities within the Village fee structure, the Board recently passed a resolution to simplify the fees. It was the Boards intent to transition the structure from a square foot plus percentage of costs of construction structure to a more flat rate structure, eliminating the percentage of cost of construction component. The Board studied the actual fees over the last few years and took the lower end of the averages as the new fixed rate. This takes the Village out of the guessing game of projecting projects costs, and allows residents to use the highest quality materials and appliances without worrying about an additional cost. A full list of the new fees will be posted on the Village website or available through Village Hall.
BOND REFINANCING/RFP:
· In an effort to take advantage of the current rate environment, The Board of Trustees continues to research the possibility of refinancing the Village’s outstanding street bond. The goal would be to free additional funds to put to work on the roads while keeping the costs to residents unchanged.
· In conjunction with this refinancing the Village has begun work on filing a formal Request For Proposals to provide professional engineering services related to Village’s development of its Long Term Infrastructure Plan.
REFUSE COLLECTION: Please be reminded that all walkways must be cleared of snow so the sanitation workers can gain access to cans and bags for rear side pickup. Refuse collection is usually delayed after a snow storm, so please be patient as services take some time to resume back to normal. During a snow storm, refuse services are typically halted from the Town of North Hempstead so roads can be cleared for snow removal.
NEW VILLAGE COMMITTEES: We have received many offers from our residents that want to volunteer at the Village level. In an effort to get more residents involved in the Village and for them to gain experience in Village work, the Board will be creating three new committees: Beautification, Finance, and Legal with focus on updating the Code. These committees will allow the Village to aid the Trustees in their specific responsibilities and will consist of a Committee Chair and resident volunteers. If you have experience in any of these areas or are interested in volunteering, please contact any of the Trustees below.
MUNSEY PARK, On a Street Where You Live... The Manhasset Library has a six part series celebrating the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s role in the development of Munsey Park. The series will focus on the American Artists that the Village streets are named after. For more information please contact The Manhasset Public Library.
CONGRATULATIONS: The Board of Trustees would like to congratulate Munsey Park residents Ken Wiegand and Mark Sauvigne on their recent election victories. We are looking forward to working with Ken in his role at the Park District, and Mark in his role at the MLWD.
VOLUNTEERS: If any residents have a desire to get involved with the Village, please reach out to Mayor DeMento or any of the other Trustees.
NEXT MEETING: Our next meeting will be Wednesday, February 11th at 7:30pm.
For additional information please visit our website at www.Munseypark.org

Board of Trustees Update November 2014
The Board of Trustees would like to wish all our residents a Happy Thanksgiving.With a pending storm expected to reach our region late Wednesday, and some recent crime in the area, we felt it was important to communicate some Village safety protocols, and pass along additional information from PSEG in case of power failures.
VILLAGE CRIME: Unfortunately our community has been thetarget of some recent burglaries. With the Holidays upcoming we ask all residents to be diligent with securing their homes and cars.
- Please keep your homes and cars locked at all times, most of the burglaries have been opportunistic in nature and can strike at any time.
- Keep valuable out of site in your homes, again these crimes were opportunistic in nature, breaking back windows or doors to grab visible valuables or quickly search bedrooms.
- Keep an eye out for neighbors’ homes that may be on vacation.
- If you see any suspicious activity call 911.
VILLAGE SNOW REMOVAL: The Village will have our Utility Crew on standby monitoring the storm forecasts throughout the day Wednesday, and for that matter any day a storm is expected. If we do indeed get snow they will monitor any accumulation on the Village Streets and respond appropriately with a sand/ salt mixture and plowing. In any storm we would remind residents to please keep cars off the streets to assist our efforts to clear the roads. We would also remind residents with sidewalks to do their best to clear those sidewalks within 24 hours of the storm. As always please take time to be mindful of elderly residents offering assistance if needed.
PSEG:Please be aware that snow can cling to tree branches and any remaining leaves, causing branches to fall onto electric wires. PSEG Long Island responds to power outages and electric emergencies 24 /7 and will have personnel on hand to handle any outages. If necessary, contractors, including tree crews, will be available to assist our own skilled workforce.
IF YOU LOSE POWER
First check your neighborhood. If you are the only one without power, check your fuse box for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses. If that’s not the problem, look outside at the wire between your house and the utility pole. If it is down, report it immediately to PSEG Long Island by phone.
Report a power outage using any of the following methods:
- Mobile devices: Text “OUT” to PSEGLI (773454). You’ll receive ongoing updates about the status of your outage. If you’re not registered, text REG to PSEGLI (773454) or visit My Account.
- Online:www.psegliny.com/stormcenter
If you call and receive an automated response, please follow the prompts, as it is designed to route your call to the right destination. If you have specific information regarding damage to wires, transformers or poles, please stay on the line to speak with a representative to provide that information.
General outage activity throughout our service territory is also available online and on our mobile website at www.psegliny.com. Updates are posted onwww.psegliny.com/stormcenter during severe weather.
PARKING AROUND THE SCHOOL: The Board of Trustees has implemented theparking changes discussed in the last newsletter. As mentioned, we continue to work with the residents affected by these changes and plan to make any necessary changes once the parents understand the new parking pattern. We also plan to further discuss these changes during our December 10 Board of Trustees Meeting.
CURB YOUR DOG: The Village continues to receive multiple complaints a month regarding dog owners not appropriately curbing their dogs. Members of the Board of Trustees have also personally witnessed residents throwing bagged dog waste into storm drains. Dog owners should review the Villages laws regarding control, and curbing of dogs on our website at http://ecode360.com/10653889#10653889. These laws were put in place to give residents the appropriate safeguards and considerations from dog owners in our Village. If these complaints continue, the Village will discuss if implementation of our enforcement and licensing laws is necessary. As a note, please be considerate to your neighbors, and dispose of dog waste in appropriate garbage cans either in the parks or your home.
FINAL LEAF PICKUP:
Munsey Park will provide our final leaf collection service, Monday December 1st.Bagged leaves only should be placed on the curbside. Six (6) bags per pick up
This special collection is the only time that any leaf bags may be placed at the curb.
Please note that the Village Code prohibits the blowing or raking of leaves into the street. If you have gardeners, please advise them of this regulation.
VILLAGE COMPLAINTS/ CONCERNS: The members of the Board of Trustees has been elected to listen to you, please feel free to contact any Board Member to discuss concerns or ideas you may have with any aspect of the Village. The Village Clerks log all calls, emails, and letters sent to Village Hall by concerned residents and disseminate that log with any action items taken to all the trustees once a week. If you have a complaint or a concern the most effective way to have that processed is to either email a Trustee or the Village Clerk directly. Any written correspondence should be sent to Village Hall so that too may be logged appropriately.
ADDITIONAL MAILINGS: The Village intends on emailing future agendas prior to upcoming meetings to encourage as many interested residents as possible to attend meetings, and share their views on topics.
VOLUNTEERS: If any residents have a desire to get involved with the Village, please reach out to Mayor DeMento or any of the other Trustees.
