Top issues during term (12)(Parks Rec)
4-H Camp Preservation at Reeves Park
CPF funds are available; the appraisal price per acre is significantly below what the town paid for Sound Avenue Preserve 20 years ago.
Vietnam Veterans Recreation Path Praised
Historical markers at three town sites
No cost to town taxpayers if the Palmer Foundation grant comes through — about $5,000 per marker otherwise.
Great Rock Golf Club improvements legalization
Beach permits and recreation parking challenges
Seniors would have paid $5 more for beach parking; the board moved to soften the increase.
First responders memorial sculpture on the riverfront
Supported by a New York State grant; the artist will donate the work, with the town providing site preparation and installation support.
Memorial for Christina Gabrielson at South Jamesport Beach
No cost to the town — the Gabrielson family would pay for and maintain the memorial.
America 250 celebration in Riverhead
The association would purchase and maintain the flags itself; no town cost identified.
George Young Community Center HVAC failure
Repairing or replacing the community center's aging heating system will come before the board at a future work session.
Peace Pole installation on town property
Minimal — a small footing and installation, with Rotary ordering the pole.
Downtown playground grant (New York Plays)
No town dollars required; up to $2.5 million in grant funding sought.
Stotzy Park Lighting Replacement Grant
Grant-funded, minimizing local cost if awarded.
