Brian you did an outstanding job. Your commitment, dedication and leadership is amazing. Most people do not understand how much it takes to sit in that office and it has only grown exponentially over the recent years. It was an honor to operate on the fire ground under your leadership. That emotion you show tonight is a testament to your passion and commitment to your responsibilities as Chief. Its just another sign of the great job you did. Thanks so much for all of it. Thank you to Marie and your family for all their support. Now go take the well earned and much deserved vacation you said you are taking with your Family. Look forward to seeing you back on the truck. Thank you!
Being the last Trustee to comment, there isn’t much more that has not already been said so Ditto. Thank you, Susan for all your years of service to our great Village, all your hard work and dedication. You have taught me so much about the day to day working of the Village beginning with my years on the Chiefs staff in the Fire Department. When a few years later, I walked in as a new Trustee, you picked up where you left off showing me the ropes. Your tireless dedication to our Village and residents is second to none. You are part of why this Village continues to be a great place to live. I appreciate all your help and support along the way. Enjoy your much earned and well-deserved retirement. Start with a nice long vacation.
Building Department
Construction continues at the former Centennial Hall site as the walls and supports have started to rise. Projected timeline for the project is approximately 12 months. Permits are issued and construction is expected to start on the Covert Avenue fire property pending the IDA the Mayor outlined tonight. The Architectural Review Board held a meeting on March 27th to review the aesthetics of the proposed houses at the subdivision at 32 Orchid. Since the plans are all within code requirements and the developers were receptive to the changes the board proposed to help blend it with the character of our village, the subdivision has been approved. The next meeting of the Architectural Review Board will be Wednesday at 8 PM at the pool building. Among the applications will be the proposed restaurant at 99 Covert Avenue and a review of some basic modifications to the plan.
If you are planning any construction or renovations to your commercial or residential property, please reach out to the building department for help and guidance. They have a wealth of knowledge and information on building code requirements and safety factors, which are an extremely important part of any of your renovation or improvement undertaking.
Pool and Recreation
Little League is open. This past Saturday, our little leaguers along with coaches and family marched through town to the recreation center for the Opening Day Parade and Ceremony starting our 2024 little league season. While the weather did not fully cooperate, it was a great opening day and great to see so many turn out for a fun family event. I had the honor of throwing out the first pitch to open the season; thank you for that. Thank you to the American Legion color guard for leading the parade, Floral Park Fire Department for participating, Floral Park Police Department for organizing and securing the parade route and, most important, the league board and coaches for all their tireless dedication to the kids and little league to make the parade and season happen every year.
This week the annual summer recreation booklet 2024 has been published. This book has a list of everything from summer programs at the park, to pool information, registration forms, special event nights at the pool, calendars and more.
