MAYOR’S REPORT

VILLAGE ROADS

· The Mayor stated that Jim Antonelli, Village Engineer, is preparing the bid books for the re-pavement of Park Avenue which will occur (weather permitting) in the Spring of 2021. National Grid will be installing new gas mains on Park Avenue, from Morse Lane to the end of Park Avenue/Port Blvd., including a small section of Trumbull Road and Bartlett Drive. Installing the gas main will require the road to be cut out closest to the curb and then restored with a temporary patch. The Village will repave this section of the road, curb to curb, with National Grid incurring half of the costs. The RFP will also include the re-pavement of Park Ave. from Morse Lane to the traffic light at Abbey Road.

· National Grid is planning a gas main replacement on Remington, Abbey, Hunt, Whistler, Homer, Durand, Alston, Sargent and Revere. Mayor Ceriello walked the project area with National Grid and suggested that instead of tearing up the concrete streets that they obtain access through the concrete gutter. The Mayor will continue to discuss various options that will allow us to partner with National Grid and achieve the greatest cost benefits to the road replacement projects throughout the Village.

· A section of Abbey Road was repaired by Northern Masonry after the road began to essentially collapse. Typically, a road has ten inches of concrete with rebar, this section was found to have two inches of concrete with no rebar and no subsurface. The Village plans on seeking reimbursement from the original mason company.

TREES

Mayor Ceriello walked Manhasset Woods Road with Field Supervisor, Ted Boutzalis and Frank Hefferin, to identify the trees that need to be pruned in the near future.

LIGHT THE NIGHT

Trustee LiCalzi stated that Light the night and the Third Annual Christmas Tree Lighting will be on Sunday, December 6, 2020. He said that they will ask families to enter together at 5:30 PM, adhere to social distancing rules and wear face masks. No food or refreshments will be served. Trustee LiCalzi said that the tree lighting and visit from Santa will occur at 5:45 PM.

FINANCIAL REPORT

Deputy Mayor D’Angelo stated that the distinctive expense items for the month are an emergency roadway repair by Copley for $12,782 and annual insurance renewal for $42,715.

RESOLUTION – ELECTION

Mayor Ceriello offered the following resolution and moved for its adoption:

WHEREAS, the next General Election for Mayor and two Trustees each for a 2 year term for the Incorporated Village of Munsey Park, will be held on Tuesday, March 16, 2021 and

WHEREAS, Section 15-104 (3) (b) of the Election Law of the State of New York states that the Village Board of Trustees must designate by Resolution the polling place in each election district, and the hours during which polls are open;

2. Polls will be open for the General Village Election to be held on Tuesday, March 16, 2021, between the hours of 12 noon and 9:00 pm.
