Motion by G. Goehringer, seconded by R. Williamson, to authorize mileage reimbursement for travel
expenses related to the Park District by elected or appointed officials for 2013 at a rate of $0.565; N.
Deegan felt the amount was high and that mileage reimbursement should only be provided to the Clerk.
It was unanimously agreed by all Commissioners that the amount remains the same and to revise the
resolution to authorize travel reimbursement to the Clerk and to add language indicating that all other
travel reimbursement compensation for elected or appointed officials of the Park District will be
-1-
reviewed by the Commissioners on a case-by-case basis. All in favor and motion carried to adopt
Resolution 2013-8 with the required revisions.
At this time, G. Goehringer asked S. Maddaloni if there were any issues with Capital One Bank. D.
Prokop stated that he researched the Collateral Agreement w/BNY Mellon. S. Maddaloni indicated that
the Collateral Agreement does not need to be renewed annually and that it was established until we no
longer require same. She further indicated that we are receiving the highest interest rate that Capital
One Bank offers. The Collateral Agreement is necessary for funds over $250,000. N. Deegan suggested
we look into CDs for 6 months to 1 year to obtain a higher interest rate. G. Goehringer stated that we
will be encumbering a lot of the funds in this year's budget for storm damage projects and that we
should hold offon CDs until we have a better idea on these costs.
G. Goehringer stated that he spoke with the FEMA representative and was told that FEMA will
reimburse us within 4 to 6 months for all cleanup work from the storm and that he has completed the
FEMA paperwork in this regard for the Park District. The FEMA representative advised G. Goehringer to
have all cleanup work done first for reimbursement.
Motion by G. Goehringer, seconded by R. Williamson, to designate Capital One Bank as the depository
of funds for the Park District and to authorize the Chairperson to execute any necessary Collateral
Agreements required for 2013; all in favor and motion carried to adopt Resolution 2013-9.
Motion byG. Goehringer, seconded by R. Williamson, to designate The Suffolk Times/Times Review
Newspapers, Inc. as the official newspaper of the Park District for 2013; all in favor and motion carried
to adopt Resolution 2013-10.
A discussion ensued at this time regarding the retention of Joseph Fischetti, P.E., in connection with
professional engineering services regarding design and permitting of new bulkhead and various repairs
at Vets Park beach stemming from Hurricane Sandy. G. Goehringer indicated the need to place this
resolution on at this time for a vote in an effort to get things moving quickly so that we can hopefully
have the Vets Park beach open for the 2013 Summer Season. N. Deegan indicated that this work falls
under our General Permit and he feels there is no need for an expediter. G. Goehringer stated that we
need engineering specifications to go out to bid for this project and to secure proper permits. G.
Goehringer indicated that they received a quote from Bowman in the sum of $6,900. N. Deegan stated
that the permit issued by DEC allows the Park District to replace in-kind and G. Goehringer indicated that
there is nothing being replaced in-kind. N. Deegan inquired about a quote from L.K. McLean Associates
and G. Goehringer indicated that their initial quote was $2,500 but did not include permitting. N.
Deegan wanted to see McLean Associates quote and asked that the Fischetti resolution be tabled so
that he can compare Fischetti's quote to McLean's quote. G. Goehringer indicated that the time frame
to obtain permits from the Trustees is running 45-60+ days and further stated that McLean Associates
offered other alternatives to bulkheading. G. Goehringer told McLean Associates that we were
interested in bulkheading only and that this was the proper way to complete this project to avoid such
damage in the future. N. Deegan stated he is not willing to go forward with Fischetti's quote until he
sees the McLean quote. G. Goehringer further stated that McLean's representative told him that he did
not feel that we could get the permits for the bulkheading in time to open for the Summer Season. G.
Goehringer further stated that he was contacted by a former employee of one of the LI Sod Farms who
said that the owner told him that he has about 12,000 yards of sand that he would consider selling to
the Park District for between $10-$12 per yard. N. Deegan stated that the cost of sand will be offset by
-2-
moving the bulkhead back. G. Goehringer stated that the maximum that the bulkhead can be set back is
6' and that the concern is to make the bulkhead as strong as possible.
Motion byG. Goehringer, seconded by R. Williamson, motion carried 2-1 to adopt Resolution 2013-1:1.
Motion by G. Goehringer, seconded by R. Williamson, all in favor and motion carried to go into
Executive Session at 7:15 p.m. to discuss salaries and hourly rates for appointed officials and employees
of the Park District.
Motion by G. Goehringer, seconded by R. Williamson, all in favor and motion carried to come out of
Executive Session at 7:40 p.m.
Resolution Nos. 2013-5 and 2013-6 were tabled for the 1/10/13 regular monthly meeting, as the
Commissioners were not able to agree on salaries and hourly rates for 2013 appointed officials and
employees of the Park District.
There being no further business to come before the meeting, motion by G. Goehringer, seconded by R.
Williamson, all in favor and motion carried to adjourn the meeting at 7:45 p.m.
