More details will follow as the event approaches. PUBLIC COMMENT Tom Lynch, Superintendent, Nyack Water Dept. – Requested funding approval for a critical upgrade to the main reservoir on Dickinson Avenue to address ongoing water quality violations, particularly in the S. Highland Avenue area. The issue stems from stagnant water and lack of usage, leading to elevated trihalomethane (THM) levels. He proposed installing a mixing and aeration system designed to reduce THM levels by up to 55%, which would bring the system back into compliance. The total estimated project cost is $800,175, including equipment, installation, electrical upgrades, and contingencies. Approval is needed before September to avoid a price increase. While the violations are most concentrated in one area, a systemwide notice was issued out of caution. Tom Dudzick – Expressed concern about excessive noise near his home by the hospital. He proposed creating a "quiet hospital zone" with signs and requested the village coordinate with emergency services to limit unnecessary siren use. He also suggests enforcing noise ordinance for loud vehicles. Meghan Rakay – Suggested tackling the rat problem by stopping use of poisons and traps for rat control, calling them dangerous and ineffective. Instead, she advocates for rodent fertility control—a safer, more humane, and proven method that targets reproduction, protects wildlife, and saves money. Elizabeth Turk – Rat infestation in the community garden; urges the village to take action since rats are spreading beyond the garden area. Manny Carmona, Nyack Building Inspector – The village is actively addressing the rat problem with poison and sanitation efforts, progress takes time. He supports exploring rodent birth control. Donna Hudson – Expressed frustration over the rat infestation in the garden, which halted food donations to those in need. She supports starting solutions—especially birth control— immediately.

He reported that the new building permit portal is active and being used successfully, particularly for building permits and code enforcement. Proposes a 12-month amnesty program allowing owners of illegally converted residential units (e.g., single-family to multi-family) to legalize their properties without land use approvals, provided they meet state building code requirements. Feels this supports the village’s participation in the state’s Pro- Housing Community Program, aims to increase available housing without altering neighborhood character, and would expand the tax base by updating property records to reflect actual use. Mayor Rand – Would the amnesty program require properties to meet current rules, or would the rules be relaxed to allow illegal multi-family conversions? Manny Carmona – Only zoning rules. We would bypass the land use, but NYS requirements would have to be met. Mayor Rand – What’s the legal operation? Attorney Michaels – Can’t do without amending the zoning code. Very specific criteria and standards would have to be set. Trustee Jean-Gilles – I’d rather bring these building into compliance and prevent future buildings from being able to do this. Trustee Carlin – What’s to prevent somebody from converting their residence within the amnesty period? Manny Carmona – We will know with the type of construction. Village Board – Let’s look into it.
