Summary of Proceedings

Huntington Town Board Workshop Meeting - December 9, 2025

The Huntington Town Board held a workshop meeting on December 9, 2025, presided over by Councilwoman Maury. The meeting covered a series of resolutions, budget amendments, contract authorizations, and zoning changes. Several items were discussed in detail, and the board moved into executive session to discuss pending litigation and a water district billing matter. No public comments were heard.

Agenda & Resolutions

  • Resolutions 2025-608 through 2025-627 were read and sponsored, covering agreements for senior services, youth bureau, fire department training, ice skating instruction, streetscaping contract, software contract, budget amendments, electric vehicle charging stations, interest distribution, bus purchases, donations, cash payments policy amendments, park steward appointments, EV charging rates, and public hearings for building permits and a Verizon license agreement.
  • Late starters 2025-634 (authorizing Dix Hills Water District to collect water usage charges) and 2025-635 (budget amendment for senior division nutrition program) were added to the agenda by motion and sponsored.

Discussion Items

  • Resolution 2025-627 (Verizon license agreement): Councilman Farrow requested discussion in executive session to preserve negotiating leverage regarding a resident issue. The board agreed to discuss it further in executive session.
  • Resolution 2025-629 (Employment plan amendment): Councilman Farrow stated he had requested backup materials (sponsor's memo and proposed amendments) the prior week but they were not provided. He expressed reluctance to vote without review. The resolution was sponsored but no vote was taken, effectively deferring it pending provision of materials.
  • Resolution 2025-632 (Zone change for Starbucks at Melville): Councilman Farrell sponsored the public hearing scheduled for February 10, 2026. No opposition was voiced.
  • Resolution 2025-633 (Zone change for 50 Woodbury Road): Councilman Bernardo asked how the application arrived, noting it had been in planning for an extended period. The property is a motel converting to six apartments with no variances needed. Councilwoman Lupinacci raised concerns about precedent on Woodbury Road. The town attorney clarified that a public hearing on February 10, 2026 would address concerns; the application requires parking and setbacks.
  • Late starter 2025-634 (Dix Hills Water District billing): Councilman Bernardo explained that the water district upgraded meters and software, enabling residents to view usage via an app. The billing process would shift from the tax receiver's office to the water district. The resolution was intended to start in January 2026 but not immediately time-pressed; it was added to the executive session agenda for further discussion.

Executive Session

  • The board closed the town board agenda and opened the board of trustees agenda (one item: license agreement extension for H&M Powell's Marine Agency in Cold Spring Harbor).
  • A motion was made to enter executive session to discuss: (1) new personal injury cases (Part v. Town, Waxover v. Panel, China v. Panel) and (2) Dix Hills Water District billing (added by motion). The executive session agenda was adopted.

Key Outcomes

  • No votes were taken on the resolutions during the public portion; the board proceeded to executive session.
  • Resolution 2025-629 was effectively deferred pending provision of supporting materials.
  • The board will further discuss Resolution 2025-627 and the water district billing matter in executive session.
  • Public hearings are scheduled: Resolution 2025-626 (building permits) on January 6, 2026; Resolution 2025-627 (Verizon) on a date to be confirmed; and Resolutions 2025-632 and 2025-633 on February 10, 2026.
  • Resolution 2025-634 is expected to be addressed after executive session discussions.
