Speaker numbers apply only to this recording.
The Pleasantville Village Board of Trustees convened a regular meeting on October 23, 2026, at Village Hall. The agenda included announcements, a public hearing on a local law to align term start dates with the November election, and the approval of multiple resolutions covering financial adjustments, grants, personnel, and community events. All resolutions were passed unanimously.
October 13 uh meeting on Tuesday instead of Monday because of the Monday holiday back to our regular schedule uh on Monday, October 26. That is a different and special meeting. Uh, we will have a regular meeting, but it is also the public hearing for the proposal that Lenar has uh presented for 102 townhouses up on the former Bank of New York property and the former Seven Engineering property behind Foxwood. That will take place on Monday, October 26th at 7 p.m. at the high school, switching to that venue to make sure there's plenty of room for all. So I will be publishing the sort of rules of the road. We've been talking tonight in work session about the question of how best to manage that. Uh in the hypothetical that there are a lot of people that wish to speak. We're likely to have a three-minute uh limit on each speaker and uh uh a sign-up sheet so that folks don't have to stand in line. More on that will be published uh in our uh announcement of the agenda, but public hearing on the Monday, October 26th at 7 p.m. Pleasantville high school. Uh a couple of other announcements to make. Um perhaps moot point, but we're in the midst of hybrid flushing this week, uh, which is a nighttime activity, and you may end up with folks outside your house opening hydrants and spewing water around in the dark at night, uh, which we need to do in order to avoid spewing it around when we're trying to get to work or school. Um, is that likely to end this week, Anthony? Yes. Um Thursday night into Friday morning is the last hydrant flushing session between 12 a.m. and 7 a.m. So Thursday night at 11:59 p.m. to Friday morning at 7 a.m. is the last of it. All right, thank you for that. Uh, and thanks to the folks who who uh are doing that. Um many of you have been engaged in our Safe Street for All project and the workshop we had that will be coming uh back to us soon. Uh end of November with uh uh some next actions and some priorities about what has come out of uh the review and about the public comment. Uh our perennial conversation about the red light camera on the Sambola River Parkway at Grant Street, which has been approved and unapproved and approved and approved and checked and vendor selection and all of which means it isn't there yet. Uh apparently the county had to take some other legislative action, which I understand they did. Apparently, a vendor has been selected by the county, it's not just us, there are many other locations, still no date, right? So you're gonna say correct. Um, uh the police department has sent out a note, and I think we'll reissue it about e-bikes and electric scooters. I can tell you it is a very serious problem. Uh this week alone, I've seen kids riding what are essentially small motorcycles on the sidewalk, and in another setting, uh, kids riding what are essentially small motorcycles in the road with cars, um, kids who look to be middle schoolers. So you have to be 16 legally to uh write these. You need a helmet and you need to operate as if you were on a bicycle, right? It's a big, big, big, big big and growing problem. Um there's a Halloween swap that's uh run by the uh rec department. You can drop off Halloween costumes and um accessories or Halloween day four that you don't need. Uh uh at Bins at the Rec Center Monday to Friday, 8 to 3 between up until October 16, and then one weekend only, Saturday the 17th from 12 to 3, and Sunday the 18th from 10 to 1. That's this weekend. Head to the rec center and uh take new items, uh items that are new to you uh and uh reuse them. So that's a great thing. It's been a big success in the past. Sunday, October 25 is the Rag and Buffin parade. Uh I think possibly for the first time in my long tenure in this role. I will miss that. I'm out of town that day.
