C Gueli and A Noncarrow gave a recap of their conversations with Supervisor Russell regarding
increasing the MPD budget for 2022.An increase of the amount raised by taxes to $350K would
be an increase of$16 for a house assessed at$700K. (This data per Kevin Weber in the
Assessor's Office.) Further discussion ensued about raising the amount to $400K.This would I
allow the MPD to plan for various capital improvement projects;as well as for conservation at
Wolf Pit Lake.
i
i
A Noncarrow also spoke to the NYS Comptroller's Office about the legality of establishing a
reserve for major repairs, in case of an Act of God or man-made disaster. The Comptroller's
Office referred the matter to Park legal counsel. (6-D of Municipal Law). I
i
Russell recommended a press release prior to the Budget Vote, showing the taxpayers what
was planned for the additional revenue.This includes,items such as pickle ball courts,
emergency reserve, replacement of the floating docks at Love Lane, replacement of some
district trucks, an environmental study for Wolf Pit.
Commissioner N Deegan expressed his disagreement'with the increase.
