Board meeting join us for the pledge. Pleasure to the flag and two publication on the justice for all roll call. Supervisor Well Hunt. Here. Councilman McCarthy. Councilwoman Lord. Councilwoman and Zrollo. Okay, before we begin this afternoon, um, we want to recognize public servants who truly stand out here in the town of Smithtown for each month. We take a moment to honor an employee whose dedication, talent, and character have made a meaningful impact on our community. Today it is my privilege to recognize someone who embodies professionalism, positivity, and a genuine passion for public service. Alison Murray. For more than two decades, Allison has been one of the quiet driving forces behind many of Smithtown's most important planning and revitalization efforts. Finally known throughout Town Hall as a person you call when something seems impossible. Allison has built a reputation for finding solutions, tackling challenges head-on, and always being willing to lend a hand whenever it is needed. Since beginning her career with the town in December of 2003, as a planning aide, Allison has steadily risen through the ranks. Sounds familiar, from planner to senior planner to principal planner, and now serving as assistant planning director. Her fingerprints can be found on countless initiatives that are helping shape the future of Smithtown, including the comprehensive plan, the King's Park Master Plan, environmental initiatives, zoning updates, sewer infrastructure planning, and critical grant administration work. Most notable, Allison was one of the key driving forces behind Smithtown, securing the prestigious $10 million downtown revitalization initiative award from New York State for King's Park. An achievement that will benefit our community for generations to come. But beyond her impressive professional accomplishments, Allison is simply one of the most pleasant, dependable, and respected people to work with. Whether she's assisting with a complex planning matter, helping out community events, or apparently changing a car tire faster than most of us in this room can. She approaches everything she does with positivity, professionalism, and heart. A proud graduate of Lyndonhurst High School and Cornell University. Allison's greatest pride is undoubtedly her family, her husband Sean, and their three children, Julie, Lena, and Jacob. Congratulations. Sorry. Don't move. I gotta get you out in the move. Thanks. Congratulations. Congratulations, Allison. All right, we will move to the agenda this afternoon. Deputy Clerk. For correspondence, King's Park Chamber, King's Park rocks Monday on Maine, July 13, 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. And building department report, April 2026. There's one public hearing today to be presented by Rachel Lindberger. Good afternoon, Supervisor and members of the board. The purpose of today's public hearing is to consider the adoption of a new article of chapter 215 as it relates to emergency scene solicitation and board up services. The purpose of this article is to regulate solicitation at emergency scenes within the town while recognizing the licensing authority exercised by Suffolk County over board up businesses and similar contractors. The restrictions contained in this article are directly solely at commercial solicitation practices occurring at emergency scenes and are necessary to protect public safety and prevent interference with emergency operations. The proposed amendments establish restrictions on conduct at emergency scenes, including prohibiting the unauthorized filing of emergency vehicles, misrepresentation of affiliation with emergency agencies, and refusal to comply with lawful orders to leave an emergency scene. Violations of this article would be enforceable by the town fire marshal, the Suffolk County Police Department, Town Code Enforcement Officers, or any other authorized officers with penalties up to a thousand dollar fine or imprisonment not exceeding 15 days. Unless there are any questions that concludes this public hearing. Any questions by the board? No. Anyone in the audience wish to be heard on this public hearing? There being none, I'll move to close. Supervisor Wilhard. Yes.
