16 The chair recognizes Legislator Ford.
17 LEGISLATOR FORD: Good morning.
18 I'm going to ask everybody if they would
19 please join us standing in a moment of
20 silence for the Barbitz (phonetic) family.
21 I'm sure you have all read about the young
22 teacher that is missing and I ask us all to
23 keep in your thoughts and prayers the family
24 and Daniel himself.
25 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: The chair
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
8 8
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 recognizes Legislator Jacobs.
3 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: Well, I have
4 something nice to start the meeting out with
5 that I'm sure all of you would like to hear.
6 Kevan Abrahams is a daddy again to a little
7 boy who's name is Carter and he's joining
8 his three year old sister, Kennedy. I just
9 thought that I would mention that. Mommy
10 and baby are doing fine. He was over seven
11 pounds and adorable. We have pictures.
12 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Legislator
13 B o s w o r t h ?
14 LEGISLATOR BOSWORTH: You know,
15 we go from sad news to happy news and
16 unfortunately back to sad news. I would
17 like to ask for that same moment of silence
18 for Leonard Samansky, who was a former mayor
19 of Saddle Rock, former president of Nassau
20 County VOA, commissioner of the -- I know he
21 had so much to do with the emergency service
22 in the county. He was a true public servant
23 who said what was on his mind, when it was
24 on his mind, not keeping any regard for
25 which party he was speaking in favor of or
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
9 9
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 against. He was a true man of vision and he
3 will be very very missed.
4 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Okay. Before
5 every legislative hearing, we have a half
6 hour of public comment. Do we have any
7 slips? No one has signed up for public
8 comment. Does anybody out there have
9 anything they want to talk about in this
10 w o r l d ?
11 (No verbal response.)
12 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Then we're
13 going to move right into the hearing.
14 Mr. Muller, will you call the item?
15 CLERK MULLER: We have a
16 procedural resolution, the first item on the
17 calendar, Procedural Resolution 11-2011, a
18 resolution ratifying the actions of the
19 Clerk of the Legislature to cause to be
20 published a notice of hearing under the
21 proposed local law to amend Annex A of the
22 Nassau County Charter, making technical
23 corrections to the metes and bounds

19 corrections to the metes and bounds
20 descriptions of the official map of the
21 county legislative districts contained
22 therein pursuant to the procedural
23 resolution adopted today, July 25, 2011.
24 Please entertain a motion to

REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
11 11
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1

6 Legislator Gonsalves, seconded by Legislator
7 Muscarella.
8 All those in favor of opening the
9 hearing, please say aye.
10 ( A y e . )
11 Any opposed?
12 (No verbal response.)
13 The hearing is open. This is a
14 hearing on legislation to amend Annex A of
15 the Nassau County Charter making technical
16 corrections to the metes and bounds
17 description of the official map of the
18 county legislative districts that's
19 contained therein.
20 Is Mr. Ciampoli from the county
21 attorney's office here?
22 MR. CIAMPOLI: Good afternoon,
23 legislators.
24 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Good
25 afternoon. Would you tell us exactly what
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
12 12
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 we're doing here?
3 MR. CIAMPOLI: What we have done
4 is, we received a letter from Commissioner
5 Biamonte at the Board of Elections
6 indicating that there were a number of
7 errors in the metes and bounds of the plan
8 that was adopted.
9 One thing that routinely follows
10 a legislative apportionment plan, because
11 you are now trying to interpret what is
12 census data on the geography of the county
13 into election districts and into local maps,
14 there are often metes and bounds that don't
15 quite match up. Sometimes there are
16 Scribner errors. We did have one of those,
17 in particular, that comes to mind. What
18 we've done here is corrections.
19 Under New York State law, the
20 tradition and the past practice in this
21 county, the tradition is that the Board of
22 Elections corrects the errors. Here,
23 because we had a commissioner saying we
24 can't implement the law and apparently not
25 embarking on the path of correcting the
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
13 13
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 errors themselves, we took on the task of
3 correcting the errors internally in our
4 office and submitting a technical correction
5 to the legislature.
6 The net change, the number of
7 people affected by this is zero, because the
8 map remains unchanged. The map reflects the
9 intent of this legislature. In fact, some
10 of the rules for making technical
11 corrections point up that fact, that is, the
12 map that controls, for instance, if you had
13 a district, an election district or a
14 portion of the geography in two legislative
15 districts, it would go to the -- the first
16 thing you do is turn to the map to see where
17 it is. If you can't tell from the map, it
18 then goes to the district with the lesser
19 population.
20 In short, as is captioned on the
21 calendar, these are technical corrections.
22 There is nothing substantive here. It is
23 designed so that we can make the process
24 easier for the board and for anyone who is
25 using the metes and bounds to draw election
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
14 14
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 districts and implement the law.
3 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: So the map
4 doesn't change, it's technical corrections,
5 and that's pretty much it.
6 Does anybody have any questions?
7 Legislator Ciotti.
8 CLERK MULLER: Legislator
9 Denenberg is here.
10 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: Mr. Ciampoli,
11 is there any current stay about a vote on
12 this legislature by any court?
13 MR. CIAMPOLI: As of this
14 morning, there is no stay preventing this
15 body from acting.
16 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: In any
17 manner, shape or form?
18 MR. CIAMPOLI: Correct.
19 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: Thank you.
20 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Legislator
21 W i n k .
22 LEGISLATOR WINK: In point of
23 fact, while there may not be a stay, this
24 may be tantamount to rearranging deck chairs
25 on the deck of the Titantic, given the fact
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
15 15
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 that there was a decision last Thursday
3 which actually prohibited the implementation
4 of these lines for the 2011 elections
5 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: The decision
6 on Friday has been stayed.
7 LEGISLATOR WINK: Excuse me?
8 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: As of today,
9 the decision that was made on Friday has
10 been stayed.
11 LEGISLATOR WINK: That may be,
12 but the fact of the matter is, this is all
13 before the Appellate Division right now and
14 the decision was made which indicated that
15 these lines are not to be implemented for
16 the 2011 election, and this is all really
17 just window dressing over the fact that this
18 legislature made a power grab for the 2011
19 elections to change over half a million
20 people in this county's legislators, and at
21 the end the day this is all, I think for
22 naught, quite frankly.
23 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Is there a
24 question there?
25 LEGISLATOR WINK: I didn't think
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
16 16
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 I needed one.
3 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: You know, I'm
4 not going to go over old ground and not have
5 a re-hearing on what we had a hearing on,
6 I'm just going to insert into the record
7 once again that this is mandated by the
8 census results and the constitutional
9 impermissibility of the population
10 deviation, particularly, in district number
11 t w o .
12 Who else has a question?
13 Legislator Ciotti.
14 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: So there is
15 no stay precluding us from voting today, but
16 there is a stay on that decision?
17 MR. CIAMPOLI: I have just heard
18 that now.
19 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: By who, from
20 w h o ?
21 MR. CIAMPOLI: Legislator
22 Schmitt. But I will tell you that the text
23 of the decision itself, while the Supreme
24 Court entered a stay so to speak preventing
25 the implementation of these lines for the
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
17 17
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 2011 election, the Court found that the
3 process that this legislature engaged in was
4 proper, that the legislature was fulfilling
5 its duties under the charter, and, in fact,
6 for all other purposes, these lines are in
7 effect and are effective as ordered by the
8 Supreme Court.
9 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: So in plain
10 English, there is no stay, legal stay,
11 precluding a vote from taking place today
12 either for or against these corrected lines?
13 MR. CIAMPOLI: Absolutely not.
14 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: Thank you
15 very much.
16 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Legislator
17 D e n e n b e r g .
18 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Thank you,
19 Mr. Presiding Officer. Good afternoon, Mr.
20 Ciampoli. How much money has been spent on
21 this redistricting now?
22 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Mr. Denenberg,
23 you have to confine yourself to the issue of
24 the hearing which is questions about the
25 corrections of the metes and bounds.
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
18 18
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: I want to
3 know how much this has cost.
4 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Then I suggest
5 you write him a memo. This is not the place
6 for this now.
7 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Wait a
8 second. We paid a lot of money to come up
9 with these metes and bounds, and now we have
10 to correct them. Can we get this money back
11 from the redistricting experts you hired?
12 MR. CIAMPOLI: I don't think that
13 that is appropriate. This is a common
14 situation encountered in all reapportionment
15 efforts. It is to be expected that there
16 are corrections in part because you're
17 overlaying the local maps and the local
18 geography against census maps and census
19 geography because the census using something
20 called VTD, they don't use our election
21 districts, the VTD's and the election
22 districts, the ED's are not synonymous.
23 Very often there are places and things that
24 are regarded as census places that do or do
25 not have significance. There are
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
19 19
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 municipality lines that the census bureau
3 may get right or not right. And there is
4 geography very often that is not considered
5 by the census bureau where there may be a
6 physical boundary that we can pick up that
7 does exist.
8 In many cases here, for instance,
9 the commonality in Nassau County is to use
10 school district lines as opposed to other
11 metes and bounds. We went and conformed
12 those to prevent redundancy and prevent
13 confusion.
14 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: When you
15 say "we" --
16 MR. CIAMPOLI: The county
17 attorney's office.
18 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Did that
19 include Debra Levine?
20 MR. CIAMPOLI: We did work with
21 our consultants on that.
22 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Did that
23 include Mr. Schaeffer too?
24 MR. CIAMPOLI: Yes.
25 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: How much
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
20 20
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 testifying has Mr. Schaeffer done in the
3 litigation of one side of the legislature
4 versus the other so far?
5 MR. CIAMPOLI: None yet.
6 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: So I'm
7 still going to call for what you haven't
8 produced, which is Mr. Schaeffer's contract,
9 because I believe it will say just what
10 Debra Levine's contract is, which is that if
11 she in part is responsible for the metes and
12 bounds, I don't know why we're paying to,
13 redo correct the metes and bounds. We
14 already pay for that.
15 MR. CIAMPOLI: Well, there is a
16 reason why we are paying to redo them. As I
17 said at the outset, the traditional practice
18 in New York State, the past practice in this
19 county is that the Board of Elections is
20 primarily responsible for making corrections
21 in the metes and bounds when they apply the
22 metes and bounds and the map to the election
23 districts that already exist.
24 We have a commissioner at the
25 board who has not done that task.
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
21 21
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 Therefore, we are performing it for him.
3 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Maybe he
4 didn't want you to perform it for him but
5 that's neither here nor there. Which
6 software was used for the metes and bounds,
7 the software which you testified you paid
8 $18,000 for but haven't given us an invoice
9 yet, and I will call again for that invoice,
10 or was this the software that Mr. Schmitt
11 bought on behalf of the Board of Elections
12 and then changed his mind and said he bought
13 it on his own behalf for all the legislators
14 but we're not allowed to use it?
15 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: As I have said
16 many times, Mr. Denenberg, on behalf of the
17 m a j o r i t y .
18 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: You
19 misused taxpayer money, but that's beside
20 the point. Which software --
21 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: When you sit
22 on a bench instead of in front of one, you
23 can make those charges.
24 MR. CIAMPOLI: The answer is yes,
25 both Maptitude for reapportionment and
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
22 22
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 Maptitude P&E were used to review the lines
3 and correct the lines.
4 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: So the
5 software that you bought Maptitude for, and
6 just so we're clear --
7 MR. CIAMPOLI: Reapportionment.
8 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: And that
9 was used, correct?
10 MR. CIAMPOLI: Correct.
11 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: The
12 software that Mr. Schmitt bought?
13 MR. CIAMPOLI: That was Maptitude
14 P&E.
15 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: And that
16 was used as well?
17 MR. CIAMPOLI: That was used as
18 well because that's where you overlay the
19 election districts.
20 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Let me get
21 this straight. When Mr. Schmitt bought,
22 that the democratic minority was not able to
23 see, is being used by your office, so you're
24 allowed to see it but we're not? That's
25 about it? Let the record show that the
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
23 23
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 presiding officer said "that's about it."
3 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: That's the
4 software that was purchased by the majority
5 for use by the majority.
6 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: You're
7 using taxpayer money to buy something that
8 the minority is not allowed to see but the
9 majority is allowed to see and can share it
10 with the county attorney's office.
11 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Kind of like
12 you're using taxpayer money to sue us.
13 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: You're
14 representing both majority and the minority?
15 MR. CIAMPOLI: So you're special
16 counsel representing the minority.
17 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: So you're
18 representing the majority as the county
19 a t t o r n e y ?
20 MR. CIAMPOLI: That's correct.
21 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: We're
22 spending taxpayer money on this.
23 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: He is
24 representing the majority in this case, just
25 the way Lorna Goodman represented your
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
24 24
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 majority in several cases.
3 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: If you
4 want to make things up as you go along --
5 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: That's true.
6 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: That's
7 great, but please try to get your facts
8 straight because that's simply untrue, but
9 you want to feel better about saying it,
10 that's like saying, okay, so 18 people went
11 through the red light and then I went
12 through it so I'm okay. First of all, the
13 whole concept that you just said is wrong.
14 Two wrongs don't make a right, and there was
15 no law before.
16 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Under your
17 regime, also represented --
18 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Lorna
19 Goodman would never represent some
20 legislators and not others, but I'm not here
21 to talk about Lorna Goodman.
22 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: That's just
23 not true, Mr. Denenberg.
24 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: I'm here
25 asking Mr. Ciampoli. It's your
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
25 25
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 understanding right now that you represent
3 some legislators and not others?
4 MR. CIAMPOLI: No. I represent
5 the legislative body. The presiding officer
6 speaks for this legislative body, so
7 fortunately, whether you like it or not --
8 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Give us
9 the invoices of the software that's used to
10 get incorrect metes and bounds that now have
11 to be corrected.
12 MR. CIAMPOLI: Well, you know you
13 highlighted a very good point, and your
14 point is, Legislator Denenberg --
15 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: You're
16 going to tell me what my point is, thank
17 y o u .
18 MR. CIAMPOLI: The license for
19 Maptitude P&E that the Board of Elections
20 has has not been renewed. They are using
21 software right now that is out of the
22 license period without permission. They are
23 using that software which is out of date
24 which contained bad geography. Or not bad
25 geography, it was good geography for that
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
26 26
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 year, because that's what the census showed.
3 The 2010 geography is not in the computers
4 at the Board of Elections, and if it were
5 not for Legislator Schmitt's action to
6 obtain up-to-date software, the process
7 could not move forward and the job could not
8 b e d o n e .
9 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: We haven't
10 been able to have access to that software,
11 but my question, which you didn't answer is,
12 will you provide to us the invoice of the
13 Maptitude software that your office bought
14 and access to both that software as well as
15 the software that Mr. Schmitt bought with
16 taxpayer funds?
17 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: The answer to
18 the second part of your question is no.
19 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: So let the
20 record reflect that the presiding officer
21 continues to use software at taxpayer funds
22 refusing to let representatives of the eight
23 of 19 districts use it or even see it.
24 But my question to you is, I
25 don't have that invoice for the $18,000
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
27 27
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 purchase that your office made. May I
3 please have that invoice?
4 MR. CIAMPOLI: We will go back
5 a n d - -
6 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: The
7 question is, may I please have that invoice,
8 not will you go back, may I please have that
9 i n v o i c e ?
10 MR. CIAMPOLI: The invoice will
11 be filed as is appropriate by my office with
12 those that need to have it filed with it.
13 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: May I
14 please have the invoice?
15 MR. CIAMPOLI: You will get a
16 c o p y .
17 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: When will
18 I get a copy? I've asked for it for two and
19 a half months. May I please get a copy?
20 MR. CIAMPOLI: I will check and
21 see where that is in the process and we'll
22 get a copy to you.
23 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: That's
24 what you said at the first hearing, that
25 it's somewhere back in your office. May I
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
28 28
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 please have the invoice where you spent
3 $18,000 of taxpayer money, not your money,
4 taxpayer money, to purchase on behalf of the
5 county attorney that was representing all of
6 us, Maptitude software? May I please have
7 that invoice immediately? I have been
8 asking for it for two plus months?
9 MR. CIAMPOLI: I've answered that
10 q u e s t i o n .
11 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: The answer
12 i s n o ?
13 MR. CIAMPOLI: Mr. Denenberg, let
14 me address your intermediate question.
15 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: There was
16 no intermediate question. Everyone in this
17 audience is hearing the truth. You're not
18 providing an invoice to me when you used
19 $18,000 worth of taxpayer money to come up
20 with software that did metes and bounds that
21 now needs to be corrected and you are
22 refusing to even answer. You're saying you
23 will get it in due time. When will I get
24 the invoice that I asked for going all the
25 way back to May?
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
29 29
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 MR. CIAMPOLI: I cannot answer
3 that question with preciseness right now.
4 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Just go
5 get it from your office and give it to us.
6 You are using taxpayer money and you refuse
7 to be accountable for it.
8 MR. CIAMPOLI: It's not quite so
9 simple as that.
10 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: It's quite
11 so simple. Everyone here should know that
12 their taxpayer money is being used by you at
13 your whim and you refuse to be held
14 accountable for it.
15 MR. CIAMPOLI: That's where you
16 overstep your bounds, legislator.
17 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: I don't
18 overstep my bounds.
19 MR. CIAMPOLI: Because what --
20 you were at the hearing when I was asked by
21 your leader, by your conference leader if I
22 wanted amendments prepared, what would you
23 do, and I said my office would prepare any
24 amendments you sent. That has been the role
25 of the county attorney's office for years.
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
30 30
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 We prepare legislation for --
3 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: What does
4 that have to do with what I'm asking for? I
5 want an invoice I asked for that you said
6 was sitting on your desk.
7 MR. CIAMPOLI: Therefore, that
8 software is, in fact, available to you, the
9 benefits of that software is available to
10 y o u .
11 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: How is
12 that software available to us?
13 MR. CIAMPOLI: If you wish to
14 have a map drawn --
15 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: My
16 constituents want to know when you bought it
17 because they know that you bought -- people
18 believe you bought this way back when and
19 started working on it with people and
20 experts long before you reported anything to
21 the legislature. I want to quell the people
22 that actually think part of the reason why
23 you were hired was to do redistricting.
24 MR. CIAMPOLI: And you should
25 quell that thought because --
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
31 31
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: I can't,
3 because you are covering up information.
4 MR. CIAMPOLI: To think that I
5 was drawing maps before I had the census
6 data doesn't make sense.
7 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Then show
8 us when you bought this Maptitude.
9 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Then give
10 us the invoice. It's just an invoice. What
11 could possibly be secretive about an
12 i n v o i c e ?
13 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Mr. Denenberg,
14 take a deep breath. Do you have any other
15 questions on the topic in front of us?
16 Because none of this is relevant.
17 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: The
18 software that was used to make the metes and
19 bounds that now need to be created is not
20 relevant? I don't think anyone in this room
21 believes you, Mr. Schmitt. No one does.
22 You can make it up as you go along. What is
23 confidential about your invoice that you
24 haven't produced it for two months?
25 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: It's been
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
32 32
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 asked and answered.
3 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: No, it
4 hasn't. Does anyone here really think
5 that's been asked, yes; answered, no. I
6 know who cares. You don't care how $18,000
7 worth of taxpayer's money is used because
8 it's being used improperly. I understand
9 you don't care. I care. I want an invoice.
10 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Now he's the
11 comptroller too, it's amazing.
12 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: Can I just
13 say something?
14 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Legislator
15 J a c o b s .
16 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: Mr. Ciampoli,
17 I have to say something to you. I have been
18 here a long time, as long as Mr. Schmitt as
19 well as many other people on the
20 legislature.
21 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: But I've had a
22 happier time.
23 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: You've had a
24 happier time for more years that I did, yes.
25 But I want to say something to you. I want
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
33 33
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 to be honest. I have never seen anyone from
3 any department from the county when asked
4 for an invoice give the convoluted answers
5 you have. I'm sorry, I don't want to insult
6 you, I know you've worked very hard, but I
7 am telling you that never, in 16 years, have
8 I ever witnessed that you can't produce for
9 us an invoice that's been paid for by the
10 county. It makes no sense.
11 MR. CIAMPOLI: I haven't said
12 that I can't produce it, I have said that I
13 will produce it.
14 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: When you're
15 ready to, you said. What makes you ready to
16 if the legislative body is asking you --
17 well, if the legislators are asking you to,
18 that's the time. And that was first asked
19 for two and a half months ago. Honestly, I
20 really don't get it. I think we would have
21 been absolutely strung up if the answer from
22 ten years ago --
23 MR. CIAMPOLI: Legislator Jacobs,
24 there was some intervening events, and
25 apparently the request may not have been
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
34 34
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 renewed with my staff during my absence, and
3 if that's the case, I apologize.
4 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: It was
5 renewed with your staff. You weren't here
6 unfortunately, and thank God you're okay,
7 you weren't here and it was renewed with
8 your staff. Your representative that was
9 here, it was renewed with. Not that it
10 should have to be renewed, but that's
11 ridiculous. A request to your office has to
12 be renewed?
13 MR. CIAMPOLI: However, the
14 question here that is before this
15 legislature is the merits of the legislation
16 that are before you. Not whether it was
17 drawn with software or with crayons and
18 p e n c i l s .
19 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Just give
20 me the invoice.
21 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: Mr. Schmitt,
22 may I? Since this seems to be such a
23 difficult issue, and the fact that we are
24 legislators and not getting the information,
25 I'm going on the record to identify that I
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
35 35
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 will be filing a FOIL, it's the Freedom of
3 Information Act, so I can see why this is
4 such a big issue.
5 The fact that you are being so
6 difficult with something so simple makes us
7 all wonder what the big problem is. So if
8 you're not going to give it to us willingly,
9 we will file a report and make sure you give
10 it to us as soon as possible. Because Mr.
11 Ciampoli, as someone who watches the dollars
12 of our taxpayers, as do all my colleagues,
13 you have no right to be holding -- we are
14 the checks and balance of you too, sir, and
15 you are supposed to be showing us when you
16 spend something that we have a question
17 a b o u t .
18 Since you don't want to, and
19 you're playing word games with us, I'm going
20 to file so that I get that information.
21 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: I would
22 also ask, I want to see Mr. Schaeffer's
23 contract as well. This idea is nowhere in
24 the charter that if you decide someone can
25 be an expert witness you're not going to
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
36 36
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 give it to us. But the lawsuit which was
3 legislator against legislator is now at the
4 Appellate Division. No further testimony is
5 being given and Mr. Schaeffer to not
6 testify. We are entitled to see that
7 c o n t r a c t .
8 MR. CIAMPOLI: You are neglecting
9 the federal lawsuit which is only at a
10 preliminary injunction.
11 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Why
12 wouldn't we be able to see that? We see
13 contracts on lawsuits that are worth $22
14 million such as for the aquatic center. We
15 see the testimony and we speak in executive
16 session. I'm calling for production of
17 Mr. Schaeffer's contract yet again, two and
18 a half months, and I would ask the minority
19 leader to include that in her Freedom of
20 Information request. That's apparently the
21 only way the people get to know.
22 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: The minority
23 leader said she's going to file a Freedom of
24 Information Request, and I'm sure everything
25 will be coming in the fullness of time.
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
37 37
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 Does anybody else have any questions on the
3 matter in front of us now?
4 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: Since our
5 counsel has just come back and there's been
6 some new information, we would like to just
7 take a quick five-minute recess.
8 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: As soon as we
9 finish with public comment, that will be
10 f i n e .
11 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: Thank you.
12 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Aubrey
13 P h i l l i p s .
14 MR. PHILLIPS: Good afternoon. A
15 belated happy birthday to Legislator Ciotti
16 is in order. I have two concerns. Both of
17 those concerns revolve around the technical
18 correction that I believe is being spoken to
19 right now. If I'm incorrect, would someone
20 just let me know that, because I did arrive
21 just a few seconds ago and I was hearing of
22 bills and receipts; am I correct? Thank
23 y o u .
24 I've had the opportunity to read
25 the preamble to that document and that
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
38 38
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 preamble relies heavily on conflicts between
3 software versions for the errors that were
4 generated in the original document. And the
5 last time I was here, I made reference to
6 the fact that software error cannot at all
7 account for the fact that the process taken
8 by the Board of Elections could not account
9 f o r i t .
10 Essentially what the Board of
11 Elections does is, when you present them
12 with the law, not the Google maps or the
13 Yahoo maps or the Facebook maps, when you
14 present them with the document that you sign
15 into law, they follow those instructions and
16 those instructions were in fact incorrect.
17 On a number of occasions, the
18 Board of Elections actually got into
19 vehicles, drove to intersections that didn't
20 exist, drove to areas that took them out of
21 Nassau County, into Suffolk County and back
22 into Nassau County and that's really the
23 issue afoot here.
24 Basically, if you were to go
25 forward and vote yes to this technical
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
39 39
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 correction on its face, you will be
3 codifying in law a falsehood. That's number
4 o n e .
5 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: How so, sir?
6 MR. PHILLIPS: Because it says
7 that it is software error. It's not
8 software error.
9 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: The situation
10 that you describe, getting into vehicles and
11 going, that's what this is going to correct.
12 The map does not change.
13 MR. PHILLIPS: I'm not suggesting
14 that the map changes, because in fact the
15 part of the preamble that actually makes
16 perfect sense is that the intent of the
17 majority of the legislature continues
18 unabated. So I can appreciate in fact that
19 the intent which in my opinion is to
20 diminish the vote of minorities across
21 Nassau County continues.
22 Secondly, we have behind me and
23 around me, we have a very large turnout
24 today and they're here to get what the
25 public is due. Things like receipts and
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
40 40
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 bills given to contractors and attorneys and
3 so forth are in fact public documents and I
4 believe if one of my legislators, for
5 instance, if I ask Mr. Ciotti to produce
6 that bill and he doesn't, it would mean that
7 there is something that the community should
8 do about that. I'm not here to really deal
9 with that, but just know that when you vote
10 today, if you were to make law on less than
11 accurate information, I wouldn't call it
12 facts, that you are in fact harming the
13 legislative process in Nassau County. Thank
14 y o u .
15 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Let me just
16 correct one thing. I want you to be aware
17 and, as you stated, this whole matter is in
18 court and that's where it will be resolved.
19 But we, on the majority, believe exactly the
20 opposite of the conclusions that you stated.
21 The new map that was adopted, in fact,
22 creates a third minority district. That is
23 not diminishing minority vote.
24 Secondly, we believe, they
25 disagree, but we believe that Section 112 of
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
41 41
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 the Charter mandates that we adjust our
3 lines to reflect the census data. That's
4 what this is all about. We have done that
5 and because of the recalcitrance of the
6 democratic commissioner, whose throwing up
7 road blocks, let's be honest about it, we
8 are correcting the metes and bounds that
9 they didn't -- they could implement the new
10 map by following the map. The map is the
11 controlling document, but he has chosen not
12 to, so we are correcting it. Ultimately a
13 judge will decide which way it goes.
14 MR. PHILLIPS: And on that point
15 you are correct. It's my understanding that
16 -- are you suggesting to me then that if a
17 Republican election commissioner had driven
18 his vehicles to those intersections that did
19 not exist, that it would, in fact, have
20 appeared for the Republican member board of
21 the Board of Elections and not for the
22 Democratic member of the Board of Elections?
23 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: No. Let me
24 give you an example, as I understand it. In
25 my district, my northern boundary is the
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
42 42
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 Southern State Parkway. So if somebody was
3 to go out and follow the description of my
4 district in these metes and bounds and it
5 says take this avenue up to Southern State
6 Parkway, but that avenue ends a block before
7 Southern State Parkway, it's clear that my
8 district boundary line is Southern State
9 Parkway. They could implement it as such.
10 But the Commissioner of the Board of
11 Elections say, the street doesn't go there.
12 That's an error, we can't do it. So we are
13 correcting all of these little things and
14 sending it off to the Board of Elections so
15 that if the judge concludes, the Federal
16 County concludes that this is the right
17 thing, then we go forward. If they say it's
18 the wrong thing, it's no harm, no foul.
19 LEGISLATOR TROIANO: Can I ask
20 you a question about that?
21 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Just a second.
22 The gentleman was talking.
23 MR. PHILLIPS: So you're
24 suggesting that if I were say a Republican
25 or Democrat and I was on the Board of
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
43 43
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 Elections and it was my duty to draw maps
3 based on the law that was voted on in this
4 chamber, and that there were discrepancies
5 that I would be free, for instance, to not
6 necessarily follow the law, but to do as I
7 saw fit when I got to that point.
8 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: That's what we
9 are correcting, because we're trying to make
10 it as clear as possible.
11 MR. PHILLIPS: Thank you.
12 LEGISLATOR TROIANO: I just
13 wanted to ask you. There is a street in
14 your district, and according to the metes
15 and bounds is I guess one of these, the
16 southern end or northern end of your
17 district, but it's clear somehow that your
18 district goes all the way to the Southern
19 State. And I'm just asking how is it clear?
20 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: By looking at
21 the map. The map is the controlling
22 document. By looking at the map.
23 LEGISLATOR TROIANO: So the map
24 is the controlling document?
25 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Absolutely.
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
44 44
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 MR. CIAMPOLI: Can I just make
3 one statement to clear the record up? One
4 of the problems that we found in checking
5 with Caliper Corporation, the manufacturer
6 of the software, is that the board was using
7 the 2000 P&E software, the census maps, the
8 geography that is in that software is out of
9 date, and you will find errors that don't
10 exist if you attempt to apply it to the 2010
11 census data. Because you must use the Tiger
12 maps that the census bureau has produced for
13 2 0 1 0 .
14 So, as the gentleman said, its
15 possible that someone went to an
16 intersection that doesn't exist but, if
17 you're not using the right geography, it
18 just makes it easier to get somewhere that
19 doesn't exist because it doesn't overlay
20 properly. That's where you need an updated
21 version of Maptitude P&E which has the new
22 census data loaded into it including the
23 census maps. The Board of Elections has not
24 renewed their license for that, therefore,
25 they are using out of date software.
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
45 45
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 LEGISLATOR TROIANO: And you
3 would agree that the controlling document is
4 t h e m a p ?
5 MR. CIAMPOLI: Yes.
6 LEGISLATOR TROIANO: And in every
7 case, the boundaries of the 19 districts on
8 the map are exactly correct?
9 MR. CIAMPOLI: The boundaries of
10 the districts on the map are correct. They
11 reflect the will of the legislature. They
12 reflect the will of the legislature because
13 that's what was adopted.
14 LEGISLATOR TROIANO: I guess what
15 I'm asking is, the boundaries shown on the
16 map are correct with respect to all the
17 streets that -- the metes and bounds, we're
18 making changing to the metes and bounds.
19 Those changes will be causing the boundaries
20 on the map to change?
21 MR. CIAMPOLI: On the map to
22 change, they should not.
23 LEGISLATOR TROIANO: They should
24 n o t ?
25 MR. CIAMPOLI: They should not.
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
46 46
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 That's a matter of law.
3 LEGISLATOR TROIANO: Can you say
4 that they do not?
5 MR. CIAMPOLI: As best I know,
6 they do not.
7 LEGISLATOR TROIANO: Thank you.
8 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Dennis Jones
9 from the New Hempstead Democratic Party.
10 Legislator Wink?
11 LEGISLATOR WINK: The fact of the
12 matter is, you made a comment here that the
13 majority created a third minority district.
14 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Correct.
15 LEGISLATOR WINK: In point of
16 fact, that's simply not true. There is a
17 third-minority district that exists already
18 under the current lines and in fact that
19 district was watered down by this creation,
20 as you call it, of a third minority
21 district. So let's be clear about that. It
22 was watered down over an existing district
23 that currently exists under the current map.
24 So do not pretend that you are somehow
25 creating a district for minority voters that
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
47 47
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 doesn't already exist.
3 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: And do not
4 pretend that what is is not. The new
5 district that was created is a minority
6 majority district and it has no incumbent.
7 That was the point. The district that you
8 are referring to has an incumbent. I
9 understand that you don't like it, but it
10 has an incumbent.
11 LEGISLATOR WINK: But the fact of
12 the matter is, there is nothing in the law
13 that requires us to create districts without
14 incumbents or with incumbents for that
15 matter, so let's not pretend here.
16 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I'll tell you
17 what, when you sit here and the county
18 attorney is working for you as well as the
19 county executive, you do it your way.
20 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: You're
21 right, the county attorney is working for
22 you. And that's the problem.
23 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: You had Lorna
24 Goodman and we got the better part of that
25 deal. Anyway, Mr. Jones.
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
48 48
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: What you
3 just said is blatantly against the Charter
4 of Nassau County and someone ought to say,
5 the county attorney represents all of us.
6 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: And you just
7 did, so there we are.
8 LEGISLATOR WINK: Your
9 representation that he just only represents
10 you underlies what's been wrong with this
11 entire process.
12 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Mr. Jones.
13 I'm going to state for the record, the
14 county attorney prepared the legislation at
15 my request and submitted it to me and I
16 submitted it to the legislature. The rest
17 is history and that's exactly what it is,
18 it's history. Stop beating it up. The
19 judge will decide and all of this will work
20 itself out. Mr. Jones.
21 MR. JONES: How are you? I've
22 heard that over and over again that the
23 judge will decide. There's been so many
24 decisions and we've been going back and
25 forth to court and we've been spending more
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
49 49
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 and more of the tax dollars of the
3 residents, it's just been unbelievable how
4 long this has been going on, but yet we're
5 not getting anywhere.
6 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I don't agree
7 with you, sir. Judge Jaeger is 0 for three.
8 But I'm sure Jay Jacobs will aptly reward
9 him in September with the Supreme Court
10 nomination that he so desperately craves.
11 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: That is so
12 out of line.
13 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: That is
14 unnecessary on the floor of the legislature.
15 That's so out of line.
16 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I know.
17 Nobody is entitled to an opinion but you.
18 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: I don't
19 believe that I would ever say anything like
20 that in my life.
21 LEGISLATOR WINK: I guess it
22 takes a hack to know a hack, Mr. Schmitt.
23 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: You're calling
24 a good judge a hack?
25 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: I'm
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
50 50
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 calling you a hack.
3 MR. JONES: I'm very disappointed
4 at what goes on here. This has been going
5 on since May. Again, I say we're getting
6 nowhere as soon as decisions are made in
7 court. They are overturned at the request
8 of the majority and it just seems that
9 there's never going to be an end to this and
10 the people are going to end up losing out.
11 Going back to what I said before
12 the last time I was here and what Mr.
13 Phillips actually referred to. This is a
14 very serious scenario that we are believing,
15 this attorney, as he steps before us and
16 says, this is what took place. We have a
17 gentleman that actually testified in federal
18 court about the procedure that he took and
19 his colleagues, whether they're Democrats or
20 Republicans in trying to draw these maps off
21 of the metes and bounds they received. To
22 hear the attorney come up before you and
23 give his opinion of what took place, that it
24 may have been software, is ludicrous. There
25 was absolutely no software used in the Board
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
51 51
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 of Elections. And for him to continue to
3 come here and make all 19 of you legislators
4 believe that there was software used in the
5 Board of Elections and that's why you have
6 problems with the metes and bounds is wrong.
7 That should be corrected.
8 Someone from the Board of
9 Elections should actually be standing here
10 and telling you exactly what they did to try
11 to draw the maps off the metes and bounds
12 that were sent to the Board of Elections,
13 not the county attorney giving some sort of
14 opinion about old software.
15 Do you have a response to that?
16 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: No.
17 MR. JONES: No?
18 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: No. I don't
19 have a response to that. What's in front of
20 us is what's in front of us.
21 MR. JONES: We are not talking
22 about what's in front of you, we are talking
23 about the county attorney coming to you and
24 l y i n g .
25 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: There is no
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
52 52
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 question there, sir.
3 MR. JONES: The county attorney
4 is lying. The county attorney has lied
5 several times.
6 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Now you're
7 just being silly.
8 MR. JONES: Why don't you bring
9 someone from the Board of Elections to
10 testify --
11 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: To say what
12 you think is correct, then it's okay. But
13 if they say what you don't like, he's lying.
14 MR. JONES: No, I'm not the
15 judge. The judge that heard that testimony,
16 and that testimony is written down, you can
17 read it for yourself, but the procedure that
18 the Board of Elections took is just as
19 referred by Mr. Aubrey, had nothing to do
20 with software. And, again --
21 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: It's your
22 o p i n i o n .
23 MR. JONES: It's not my opinion.
24 I have no idea. I was not present and you
25 weren't present and neither was
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
53 53
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 Mr. Ciampoli. So where did he get that
3 information from as to the fact that they
4 used software, can we ask that question?
5 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I did not
6 prepare this legislation.
7 MR. JONES: I'm just asking a
8 question. Where did he get the information
9 from and who used software to try to draw a
10 map where they came up and they couldn't do
11 it? Where did he get that from? How did he
12 know that that was a procedure?
13 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I don't
14 understand your question. I don't know what
15 you're talking about.
16 MR. JONES: The county attorney
17 is saying that the software is what became
18 wrong and why they weren't able to draw the
19 maps off of the original metes and bounds.
20 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Let's call
21 this what this is.
22 MR. JONES: I don't want to call
23 it what it is. I want to ask Mr. Ciampoli
24 to give his -- what is his source --
25 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: What this is
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
54 54
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 is the Democratic Commission of the Board of
3 Elections dragging its feet.
4 MR. JONES: How do you know that?
5 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I see the
6 correspondence.
7 MR. JONES: Did you speak to him?
8 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I see the
9 correspondence.
10 MR. JONES: Why don't you bring
11 him here and ask him that question? So now
12 you have the county attorney is here, let's
13 ask him, he's right here. Ask him where he
14 got that information that says that they
15 used software to try to draw the maps
16 because that's not what was testified.
17 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Do you have
18 any idea what he's talking about because I
19 do not? Obviously we are not communicating.
20 I don't know what to tell you.
21 MR. JONES: Take it easy, open
22 your ears, and you'll be able to hear me.
23 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Don't be
24 insulting, sir. You had your three minutes.
25 MR. JONES: I'm not going to be
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
55 55
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 insulting. You're telling me you don't
3 understand what I'm saying.
4 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: You have had
5 your three minutes, sit down.
6 MR. JONES: I'm asking a question
7 and I don't want to debate with you, I'm
8 just asking a simple question. The county
9 attorney came before us as he did twice now
10 and said that the Board of Elections used
11 software and that is what this old software
12 that wasn't replaced is why they weren't
13 able to draw the maps. Mr. Aubrey came
14 before and explained --
15 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: He said that
16 the Democratic side of the Board of
17 Elections was using old software and that's
18 why they were not able to draw the maps.
19 MR. JONES: But that is
20 incorrect.
21 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Okay, you know
22 the Board of Elections better than the
23 county attorney.
24 MR. JONES: That is incorrect.
25 We're talking about the metes and bounds
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
56 56
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 that were sent to the Board of Elections and
3 why they were unable to actually draw the
4 map onto a board because the streets did not
5 meet. Now, he's claiming that they put it
6 on some sort of a software and that old
7 software is what led to that problem.
8 We have a gentleman that
9 testified that said that the reason they
10 weren't able to do that was because the
11 streets were given to them wrong. That
12 means it came from Mr. Ciampoli's office or
13 your office wrong.
14 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: If you have a
15 question on the local --
16 MR. JONES: That's my question.
17 Where did he get this information from?
18 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Your question
19 is out of order because it's not on the
20 local law that's in front of us, the
21 amendments that are in front of us.
22 You're going back to the original
23 redistricting herein where you spoke and
24 everybody else spoke --
25 MR. JONES: He just testified to
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
57 57
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 that, he just mentioned that this morning.
3 How is that not relevant if he mentioned it
4 this morning?
5 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: First of all,
6 whatever he mentioned, I think he mentioned
7 in response to Mr. Denenberg's diatribe
8 which makes the whole thing not relevant.
9 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: That's
10 just great. Everyone is witnessing, this is
11 class -- untouchable class.
12 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Anybody else?
13 Any other public comment? Legislator
14 Bosworth.
15 LEGISLATOR BOSWORTH: As I hear
16 this give and take, what occurs to me goes
17 back to what we've asked for in the past,
18 that we wanted to be able to ask Debra
19 Levine, we wanted to be able to ask Mr.
20 Schaeffer some questions about what went
21 into drawing up these lines and what went
22 into changing the composition of the
23 districts. They have never been made
24 available to us and it would just seem to me
25 that many of the questions being asked today
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
58 58
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 would be solved if we actually had access to
3 the people who were directly involved in
4 doing this.
5 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Legislator
6 Bosworth, the lines speak for themselves.
7 MR. JONES: No, they don't,
8 because they didn't speak for themselves
9 because they actually didn't work.
10 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: You are done.
11 MR. JONES: No, I'm not done.
12 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: These 19
13 people up here, they can ask questions.
14 You're done. You're not the 20th
15 legislator.
16 MR. JONES: The reason you call
17 the public here is for us to listen and
18 watch you in this show up here, that's what
19 you call us up here to do? We have no say.
20 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: We just want
21 you to sit and watch.
22 MR. JONES: You spend our money,
23 but we have no say.
24 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: You had your
25 three minutes, that's it.
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
59 59
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 MR. JONES: I didn't have my
3 three minutes. I didn't have anything. You
4 interrupted everything that I've said.
5 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: You've had
6 more than three minutes. That made it even.
7 Any other legislators have any comments?
8 MR. JONES: It's a shame.
9 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Yes, for
10 myself, let the record reflect that once
11 again the presiding officer is unduly rude
12 and dismissive of the entire public.
13 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I will take a
14 motion to close the meeting.
15 LEGISLATOR GONSALVES: So moved.
16 LEGISLATOR KOPEL: Second.
17 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Made by
18 Legislator Gonsalves, seconded by Legislator
19 K o p e l .
20 All those in favor of closing the
21 hearing, please say aye.
22 ( A y e . )
23 Anybody opposed?
24 ( N a y . )
25 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: The motion
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
60 60
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 carries 11 to 8. I'm going to call the vote
3 on the proposed local law that the minority
4 has some, and I don't know what they are,
5 that they wish to put on the record. Do you
6 want to do that now?
7 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: Did
8 Mr. Schmitt call me? I don't even know.
9 Bear with me because I would like it to be
10 made part of the record and the best way to
11 do it is to read it. "A cursory read, not
12 even using special mapping software, shows
13 that disturbing errors still remain. For
14 example, in LD-4 pages 112 through 116, page
15 115 specifically, the description upon
16 reading seems to omit all mention of Point
17 Lookout. It says on page 115, proceeding
18 easterly along Lido Beach census designated
19 place line/coast to Loop Parkway and
20 proceeding northerly along Loop Parkway, the
21 metes and bounds then go on to continue
22 easterly and northerly to Wantagh. I
23 imagine as an unincorporated area, Point
24 Lookout receives the same census designated
25 place designation as all of the
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
61 61
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 unincorporated areas. The whole map in this
3 area is extremely confusing and the metes
4 and bounds for the fourth LD on page 115 has
5 been heavily altered. LD6, proceeding
6 easterly along East Bedell Street to
7 Broadway Street and proceeding northerly and
8 proceeding northerly along Broadway to the
9 shoreline and proceeding easterly along said
10 shoreline to the Freeport village line and
11 proceeding westerly along Freeport Village
12 Line/the Merrick census designated place
13 line, so we proceed first east and then west
14 on the same line."
15 LD-16, and this is mine. All of
16 that was in quotes. Everything I just read
17 is quotes. All right? "LD-16, and
18 proceeding northerly along Jericho Turnpike
19 to the intersection of Kirby Lane and Kirby
20 Lane extended southerly to Robbins Lane,
21 Kirby Lane does not connect to nor is it
22 northeast of Robbins Lane, what path does
23 the extension of Robbins Lane take? The
24 path the street follows, which is the wrong
25 angle to connect it to Robbins Lane, the
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
62 62
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 path of Kirby Court which lies southwest of
3 Kirby Lane and does intersect Robbins Lane,
4 there are homes affected by this decision.
5 Keep in mind that numerous extensions have
6 been created in the metes and bounds for
7 this purpose. Many of the extensions have
8 the same problem and do not necessarily
9 follow, and south, north/south, east or west
10 heading, potentially re-creating this
11 problem multiple times."
12 I'm going to put this into the
13 record, but I would like to tell you, it
14 happens in LD-11, LD-18, and other
15 significant -- LD-10 other significant word
16 omissions exist that continue to render
17 metes and bounds confusing.
18 For example, LD-9 on page 146,
19 proceeding westerly along Carnation Avenue,
20 the Tiger line segment connecting Carnation
21 Avenue to Plainfield Avenue dot dot dot,
22 were words, directions omitted between
23 avenue and the word "the"?
24 LD-16 on page 162, westerly along
25 16th Street to the school district line, and
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
63 63
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 proceeding westerly along said line to
3 Hicksville census Cantiague Rock Road were
4 words, directions omitted between census and
5 Cantiague? The point is, it's total
6 confusion.
7 I would like to make this entire
8 document part of today's record and I say to
9 you, the confusion is not in our heads, not
10 in the Board of Elections' heads, the
11 confusion is the way this was written.
12 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Frank, please
13 incorporate all of those remarks into the
14 vote on the proposed local law.
15 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: And the whole
16 document.
17 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Plus the whole
18 document. Now I'm going to call the vote on
19 the proposed --
20 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: I have some
21 other information --
22 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Legislator
23 Y a t a u r o .
24 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: Thank you.
25 On the 18th District, beginning at the
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
64 64
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 intersection of Glen Cove City Line and
3 Seacliff Village Line and proceeding
4 southerly along Seacliff Village Line to the
5 Port Washington Census designated place,
6 unless this occurs in the water and it
7 doesn't specify that it does, the two
8 borders don't actually connect. Other
9 instances of boundaries meeting actually
10 denote water body instance and LD-18
11 mentions the Long Island Sound. So
12 proceeding easterly along the Long Island
13 Sound to the Long Island Sound Nassau
14 Suffolk boundary, and proceeding southerly
15 along the Long Island Sound to Old Country
16 R o a d .
17 Please let that be noted that the
18 Long Island Sound does not extend south to
19 Old Country Road.
20 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: That's a very
21 good point. Hard for them to connect.
22 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: Very much
23 so. We want to put an amendment in, and
24 I've asked for a recess, only because my
25 counsel has come back, and we wanted five
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
65 65
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 minutes to be updated on this very issue,
3 but apparently that's not going to happen.
4 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: No, because as
5 you well know, amendments have to be on file
6 in the clerk's office for seven days prior
7 to this introduction.
8 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: This
9 decision happened Thursday, so it's a very
10 moving target as you know, and we're trying
11 to keep up with it, and we're trying to
12 understand what happened in court less than
13 two hours ago, but that wouldn't be
14 something that you would allow us to do
15 today obviously.
16 So I'm going to read the
17 amendment which is the local law describing
18 the 19th legislative district shall take
19 affect immediately upon the filing with the
20 Secretary of State pursuant to Section 27 of
21 the New York State Municipal Home Rule Law,
22 however, here is the amendment, pursuant to
23 the decision and order dated July 21, 2011
24 of the New York State Supreme Court Jaeger
25 ASJ, in Yatauro, et al vs Mangano et al,
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
66 66
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 index number 6896/2011, implementation of
3 this local law in reconfiguring the 19th
4 Legislative Districts for use in the 2011
5 general election is null and void for lack
6 of compliance with Section 113 and 114 of
7 Nassau County Charter. And the rest of the
8 original language should be omitted.
9 Thank you. You've identified
10 that you will stop if a court told you that
11 you were wrong and we are hoping that since
12 this has happened you will allow this
13 a m e n d m e n t .
14 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Now we are
15 going to have a vote on proposed local law
16 to clarify these technical corrections. I'm
17 going to call the vote, and --
18 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: Sir, we are
19 not even going to address the amendment.
20 CLERK MULLER: Bring the item to
21 the floor.
22 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I'm trying to
23 do that right now. Can I have a motion?
24 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: So moved.
25 LEGISLATOR GONSALVES: Second.
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
67 67
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Moved by
3 Legislator Dunne, seconded by Legislator
4 Gonsalves.
5 Mr. Ciampoli. Your amendment is
6 out of order. It hasn't been in the clerk's
7 office for seven days. Mr. Ciampoli, is --
8 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Then I
9 would move to table this matter. I move to
10 table this matter to consider the amendment.
11 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: We have a
12 motion to table. It's non-debatable. All
13 those in favor of tabling, please say aye.
14 ( A y e . )
15 Any opposed?
16 ( N a y . )
17 The motion to table fails. Mr.
18 Ciampoli, is it your opinion that that these
19 technical corrections meet all of the legal
20 requirements to clarify what needs to be
21 clarified on this map?
22 MR. CIAMPOLI: Yes, we have gone
23 through the bill several times now. We went
24 through the list of alleged errors that
25 Commissioner Biamonte sent to us and we
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
68 68
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 worked to try and make the language that's
3 uniform, that's most commonly used by
4 localities and by municipalities in the
5 county so as to avoid any confusion.
6 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: Just so I
7 understand --
8 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: The chair
9 recognizes Legislator Yatauro.
10 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: Thank you,
11 Mr. Schmitt. So your lawyer, Mr. Schmitt,
12 says what you have done is right, not our
13 lawyer, because you don't represent us, it's
14 quite obvious in this.
15 MR. CIAMPOLI: Again, I represent
16 the body. I recognize your difficulty in
17 accepting that the presiding officer speaks
18 for the body and the majority is the voice
19 of this body. However, you have been
20 provided with special counsel to represent
21 your conference.
22 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: As I said, I
23 will let my statement stand. The fact is
24 that your lawyer is okay with what you've
25 d o n e .
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
69 69
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Makes me okay
3 with it. Okay. Legislator Jacobs.
4 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: Mr. Ciampoli,
5 very quickly, I want to ask you a question.
6 I know you gave us answers before, but now
7 that its been read into the record, just
8 even briefly, not even all of what was
9 wrong, but key points on what was wrong in
10 some of the districts already, does this
11 bother you at all? I mean, does it bother
12 you that some of these things existed and
13 that there was a decision four days ago that
14 we're moving ahead here like nothing ever
15 happened? When something changes like this,
16 b y l a w - -
17 MR. CIAMPOLI: Let's start with
18 the simple facts. As of now, because of the
19 stay issued by the Appellate Division, the
20 lines that were adopted by this legislature
21 are in full force and effect. That stay is
22 pending appeal as has been pointed out
23 before. The court processes continue.
24 You've read several things into the record
25 that you allege are errors in the current
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
70 70
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 p l a n - -
3 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: Just by
4 living in one of those districts.
5 MR. CIAMPOLI: -- and
6 notwithstanding the technical correction
7 bill. I've heard, for instance, that the
8 Long Island Sound doesn't have borders.
9 Well, the census says it has borders and
10 therefore it has borders that we have to
11 recognize. I'll recognize that there are
12 some members that have problems --
13 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: I don't mean
14 to interrupt you, but I have to for a
15 second. Can I just ask you one question?
16 In what world does the Long Island Sound
17 intersect with Old Country Road? Unless
18 there is a flood that I didn't know about.
19 MR. CIAMPOLI: You proceed along
20 a line to Old Country Road. That is the
21 Nassau Suffolk border in Long Island Sound.
22 I want to assure you, don't get in a plane
23 and fly over. You will not see a dotted
24 line in the water, but, nonetheless, the
25 boundary exists between Nassau and Suffolk.
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
71 71
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: I live on
3 that boundary. Actually, I do. I can walk
4 to Suffolk or Nassau in about five minutes
5 either way. Let me ask you this again. How
6 does the Long Island Sound intersect with
7 Old Country Road?
8 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: The language
9 that you are referring to refers to census
10 terminology. You take that line and proceed
11 south until you intersect with Old Country
12 Road. It seems to be perfectly clear to me.
13 I recognize some people have had problems in
14 assimilating how water and water boundaries
15 and water bodies factor into a
16 reapportionment plan, but, nonetheless, they
17 d o .
18 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: I can
19 understand that it intersects with Bayville
20 Avenue. I can -- even then, it doesn't
21 touch it but I can understand that it
22 intersects with Bayville Avenue. Maybe they
23 want to go to Northern Boulevard. Maybe
24 they even want to go to Jericho Turnpike.
25 But to go to Old Country Road, you might as
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
72 72
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 well go to Jones Beach and say the Long
3 Island Sound intersects with Jones Beach. I
4 don't know what we're doing. We are like
5 flooding out our whole county.
6 MR. CIAMPOLI: Hardly.
7 LEGISLATOR WINK: Mr. Presiding
8 O f f i c e r ?
9 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Yes.
10 LEGISLATOR WINK: Mr. Ciampoli,
11 we had indicated that there is currently
12 pending a federal case with respect to this
13 matter. Isn't it a fact that Magistrate
14 Judge Lindsey has postponed any
15 consideration of that case until the
16 Appellate Division has acted on this?
17 MR. CIAMPOLI: She was informed
18 that there was an appeal filed on behalf of
19 the county legislature and on behalf of the
20 county respondents in the action. That
21 there was an application for a stay that was
22 being made to the Appellate Division today,
23 and obviously there will be a full appeal to
24 follow. For that reason, she has cancelled
25 the hearing date scheduled for this week,
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
73 73
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 but has maintained on the court calendar the
3 hearing dates for next week.
4 LEGISLATOR WINK: My point of
5 this is simply that a United States federal
6 magistrate is delaying action until the
7 Appellate Division has acted, and yet we
8 feel the urge to go forward with these
9 corrections of the metes and bounds in spite
10 of the fact that even a federal judge has
11 actually delayed pending the Appellate
12 Division outcome.
13 MR. CIAMPOLI: The question, I
14 believe, as was perceived by Magistrate
15 Lindsey, and I really would not like to
16 speak for her, but the question that she
17 perceived was was there an issue that was
18 ripe for consideration by the Court as it
19 applied to this year's election. Therefore,
20 she is holding off until the Appellate
21 Division has acted. That does not mean that
22 as Judge Jaeger ordered that this plan is
23 not in effect for all other purposes in
24 which case it certainly makes sense for this
25 body to act to correct it for all other
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
74 74
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 purposes.
3 LEGISLATOR WINK: Look, I guess
4 it makes sense for this body to act as
5 hastily as it can considering this entire
6 process has been a very hasty endeavor,
7 hence, the reason why we are here today.
8 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Okay. I'm
9 going to call the vote.
10 (Whereupon, the following are the
11 minutes of the Full Legislative Committee
12 pertaining to the Proposed Local Law.)
13 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: I would like
14 this to be made part of the record and the
15 best way to do it is to read it. "A cursory
16 read, not even using special mapping
17 software, shows that disturbing errors still
18 remain. For example, in LD-4 pages 112
19 through 116, page 115 specifically, the
20 description upon reading seems to omit all
21 mention of Point Lookout. It says on page
22 115, proceeding easterly along Lido Beach
23 census designated place line/coast to Loop
24 Parkway and proceeding northerly along Loop
25 Parkway, the metes and bounds then go on to
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
75 75
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 continue easterly and northerly to Wantagh.
3 I imagine as an unincorporated area, Point
4 Lookout receives the same census designated
5 place designation as all of the
6 unincorporated areas. The whole map in this
7 area is extremely confusing and the metes
8 and bounds for the fourth LD on page 115 has
9 been heavily altered. LD6, proceeding
10 easterly along East Bedell Street to
11 Broadway Street and proceeding northerly and
12 proceeding northerly along Broadway to the
13 shoreline and proceeding easterly along said
14 shoreline to the Freeport village line and
15 proceeding westerly along Freeport Village
16 Line/the Merrick census designated place
17 line, so we proceed first east and then west
18 on the same line."
19 LD-16, and this is mine. All of
20 that was in quotes. Everything I just read
21 is quotes. All right? "LD-16, and
22 proceeding northerly along Jericho Turnpike
23 to the intersection of Kirby Lane and Kirby
24 Lane extended southerly to Robbins Lane,
25 Kirby Lane does not connect to nor is it
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
76 76
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 northeast of Robbins Lane, what path does
3 the extension of Robbins Lane take? The
4 path the street follows, which is the wrong
5 angle to connect it to Robbins Lane, the
6 path of Kirby Court which lies southwest of
7 Kirby Lane and does intersect Robbins Lane,
8 there are homes affected by this decision.
9 Keep in mind that numerous extensions have
10 been created in the metes and bounds for
11 this purpose. Many of the extensions have
12 the same problem and do not necessarily
13 follow, and south, north/south, east or west
14 heading, potentially re-creating this
15 problem multiple times."
16 I'm going to put this into the
17 record, but I would like to tell you, it
18 happens in LD-11, LD-18, and other
19 significant -- LD-10 other significant word
20 omissions exist that continue to render
21 metes and bounds confusing.
22 For example, LD-9 on page 146,
23 proceeding westerly along Carnation Avenue,
24 the Tiger line segment connecting Carnation
25 Avenue to Plainfield Avenue dot dot dot,
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
77 77
1 F u l l Legislature / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 were words, directions omitted between
3 avenue and the word "the"?
4 LD-16 on page 162, westerly along
5 16th Street to the school district line, and
6 proceeding westerly along said line to
7 Hicksville census Cantiague Rock Road were
8 words, directions omitted between census and
9 Cantiague? The point is, it's total
10 confusion.
11 I would like to make this entire
12 document part of today's record and I say to
13 you, the confusion is not in our heads, not
14 in the Board of Elections' heads, the
15 confusion is the way this was written.

21 CHAIRWOMAN GONSALVES: Are there
22 any other questions?
23 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: Can I just

REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
10 10
1 Health / Social Services 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 funding in?
3 MS. LORRAINE: I couldn't
4 speculate on that. I don't believe the

6 aren't significant. I mean, in 2009, there
7 were 389 cases of gonorrhea and in 2010
8 there were 421 cases. So they are going up
9 but I'm not sure how statistically
10 significant it is.
11 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: You probably
12 need a few more years for them to figure it
13 o u t .
14 MS. LORRAINE: But we do do an

12 known as Section 34, Block 123, Lot 148 to

5 a lot that could be subdivided as of right,
6 however, there is a deed restriction that is
7 called for in the contract that would
8 prevent such subdivision.

21 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: No,

5 Okay. Now 348. Sorry about
6 t h a t .
7 MR. KELLY: Clerk Item 348-11 is
8 to approve an ordinance to authorize the
9 county executive to sell property known as
10 Section 1, Block 35, Lot 222 to Robert
11 Silverstein. The property is located on
12 Park Place in Great Neck, the incorporated
13 village. The purchase price of the property
14 was $46,000 which was established by bid
15 between the adjoining property owners. The
16 sale of this property was heard at public
17 hearings before the Nassau County Planning
18 Commission on December 16th, 2010 and
19 January 6, 2011. OSPAC recommended the sale
20 of the property on January 19th, 2011 with a
21 restriction against subdivision. Planning
22 Commission made a recommendation to sell the
23 property, however, without restrictions on
24 January 20th, 2011 and recommended that this
25 legislature classify this action as unlisted
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
11 11
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 and issue a termination of non-significance
3 and a negative declaration. If sold to one
4 property owner who is not the purchaser
5 here, this property would form the last ten
6 feet that they would need to subdivide their
7 property as of right into two lots.
8 However, the purchaser here is on
9 the other side and this is just another ten
10 feet to the side of their property, so there
11 is no subdivision concern here. Also, at
12 closing, there are approximately $1,500 in
13 village taxes that are due on the property
14 so that would come off the top and be paid.
15 CHAIRWOMAN GONSALVES: Any
16 questions on this item? Mr. Denenberg.
17 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: This is
18 n o t i t .
19 CHAIRWOMAN GONSALVES: The next
20 item is Item 349. First let's take a vote.
21 All those in favor of Item 348-11, say aye.
22 ( A y e . )
23 Any opposed?
24 (No verbal response.)
25 Motion carries. Michael, sorry
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
12 12
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 about this.
3 MR. KELLY: Item 349-11 is an
4 ordinance to authorize the county executive
5 to sell two parcels of real property, one to
6 Ann and Paul Conway and the other to Jack
7 and Lynn Schwartz. The properties are
8 Section 60, Block 55, part of lots 35 and
9 36. Lot 35 being the Schwartz property and
10 Lot 36 being the Conway property, located on
11 Lido Boulevard in Lido Beach.
12 It was two separate contracts of
13 sale on this transaction. The Conway
14 contract is for $1,500. The Schwartz
15 contract is for $2,500 and that was
16 established by appraisal.
17 A public hearing was held before
18 the Planning Commission on March 31st, 2011.
19 OSPAC recommended to release the property on
20 April 13th, 2011. The Planning Commission
21 followed suit on April 14th, 2011, and
22 recommended that this be classified as an
23 unlisted action and issued a determination
24 of non-significance and a negative
25 declaration. The sale of these properties
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
13 13
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 would not result in a single subdivisible
3 l o t .
4 The properties will need to be
5 surveyed and subdivided off of a parcel of
6 property that the county will be retaining
7 because a sewer line still exists on the
8 property. The cost of that subdivision will
9 be split between the county and the two
10 purchasers.
11 CHAIRWOMAN GONSALVES: Legislator
12 Ford, do you have a comment?
13 LEGISLATOR FORD: Yes. I want to
14 thank you very much for a job well done on
15 this because this is something that has been
16 many years in the making and I'm sure both
17 families are very happy finally that this is
18 resolved, even though they're not getting
19 all the property that they really wanted,

22 you very much for your perseverance in

1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 a surety bond in the amount of $5,013,030
3 and an escrow deposit of $152,391 was put on
4 deposit with the county. It was reduced
5 twice to the final amount of $240,000 and

7 deposit be returned and escrow deposit also

7 County of Nassau and authorizing the County
8 Executive to execute deeds, land exchange
9 agreement, and all pertinent documents in
10 connection therewith to consummate the
11 exchange.
12 May I have a motion, please?
13 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: So moved.
14 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: Second.
15 CHAIRWOMAN GONSALVES: Moved by
16 Legislator Dunne, seconded by Legislator
17 Jacobs. Michael, go ahead.
18 MR. KELLY: Clerk Item 347-11 is
19 a land exchange that the county proposes to
20 enter into with Conservation Partners, LLC.
21 We are at the close to an end of a very long
22 road in this transaction. The purpose of
23 this is to approve an ordinance to authorize
24 the county executive to exchange county
25 owned property known as the Northwood
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
18 18
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 property with property known as the Banfy
3 Farm. The Northwood property is Section 27,
4 Block H, Lot 338 located in Oyster Bay Cove,
5 and the Banfy property is Section 22, Block
6 H, Lot 1041 located in the Village of Old
7 Brookville.
8 The Northwood property was
9 property that was purchased under the 2004
10 Environmental Bond Act, which is a 33 and a
11 half acre property. We propose to exchange
12 that for the 35 acre Banfy Farm which would
13 compliment 25 acres that were already
14 purchased by the county under the 2006
15 Environmental Bond Act. So in this deal,
16 the county will exchange the 33 and a half
17 acre Northwood estate for the 35 acre Banfy
18 Farm, retain a conservation easement over
19 the Northwood property.
20 All the fees for this transaction
21 would be paid by Conservation Partners, and
22 all the fees from the original Northwood
23 transaction would be reimbursed to the
24 county by Conservation Partners and the
25 county will actually retain a portion of the
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
19 19
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 Northwood property for a pedestrian trail to
3 link the two halves of the Tiffany Creek
4 Preserve in Oyster Bay Cove.
5 CHAIRWOMAN GONSALVES: Any
6 questions from the legislators? Go ahead,
7 D a v i d .
8 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: So this is
9 unique in now the owner of Northwood gets
10 their property back but it should be subject
11 to this conservation easement which
12 prohibits development and also a pedestrian
13 easement, correct?
14 MR. KELLY: Well, it's not just a
15 pedestrian easement. That portion of the
16 property will be subdivided off and retained
17 by the county so the county would retain
18 ownership of that strip. The rest of the
19 property you are correct would be subject to
20 the conservation easement which would
21 prohibit development except for any
22 residential --
23 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: So
24 Conservation Partners is getting back the
25 Northwoods Estate minus this pedestrian
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
20 20
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 section, if you will?
3 MR. KELLY: Correct.
4 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: And this
5 pedestrian walkway section?
6 MR. KELLY: Yes.
7 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: The county
8 will continue to own and have to maintain
9 it, correct?
10 MR. KELLY: Correct.
11 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: And how
12 wide and long is it?
13 MR. KELLY: It's approximately 50
14 feet wide and approximately 400 feet long.
15 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: And it
16 allows the two other preserves of properties
17 to be accessible to each other?
18 MR. KELLY: Yes, it comes off of
19 the northern edge of the southern portion of
20 the Tiffany Creek Preserve and goes to the
21 southern portion of the northern end of the
22 Tiffany Creek Preserve on the other side of
23 Sandy Hill Road.
24 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: And it
25 does that by going through a thin area, a
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
21 21
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 400 foot wide area of the Northwood Estate?
3 MR. KELLY: 400 foot long.
4 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Well,
5 Northwood Estate is 400 foot wide at the
6 point that you would cross it, correct?
7 MR. KELLY: Give or take.
8 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: How would
9 we mark that? I'm interested because we
10 always have this problem where we've
11 preserved property and there is an issue of
12 whether we let the public know that it's
13 preserved and mark it so that the public
14 knows it can use it. Here it's not just two
15 publicly owned properties now, but it's also
16 how do we mark that you can get from one to
17 the other? How are we going to mark this
18 pedestrian walkway, if you will?
19 MR. KELLY: Well, as this comes
20 off the Tiffany Creek Preserve, the parking
21 lot for the Tiffany Creek Preserve is pretty
22 much right there, right at where this -- not
23 exactly where it is, but pretty close so
24 there would be trail markings, signs that
25 would direct people along this trail in
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
22 22
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 order to get to the other side of the
3 Tiffany Creek Preserve. Also, as part of
4 this contract, Conservation Partners will be
5 blazing this trail as well, so it's not
6 something that you go there and you say,
7 find it if you can. There's actually going
8 to be a visible trail there that people will
9 be able to take.
10 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: So the
11 nearest parking for this Northwoods property
12 is Tiffany Preserve?
13 MR. KELLY: Correct.
14 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: The
15 Northwoods property doesn't have any parking
16 in and of itself because that's going to be
17 privately held?
18 MR. KELLY: Correct.
19 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Could the
20 owner of Northwoods fence off their
21 property?
22 MR. KELLY: Absolutely, yes. But
23 they couldn't put a fence obviously on our
24 p r o p e r t y .
25 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: So the
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
23 23
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 only easement, to be clear, the only
3 easement prohibits the development of the
4 property insuring that it would be preserved
5 in perpetuity?
6 MR. KELLY: Correct, yes.
7 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: But
8 Conservation Partners can exclude the public
9 from their property, but not our property?
10 MR. KELLY: Correct.
11 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: And our
12 property is this thin pedestrian walkway?
13 MR. KELLY: That's correct, yes.
14 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: So the
15 purpose of them having this property with
16 the easement is what? What were they
17 looking for?
18 MR. KELLY: Well, Conservation
19 Partners wanted the entire property,
20 however, we wanted to keep a portion of it
21 so that we could connect the two halves of
22 the Tiffany Creek Preserve. So this was
23 something that the county had worked out
24 with Conservation Partners so that we could
25 both achieve our mutual goals here which
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
24 24
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 would be Conservation Partners getting this
3 property and us restricting its development
4 and still allowing people of Nassau County
5 to use the Tiffany Creek Preserve and access
6 both ends of it.
7 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: And,
8 finally, in a more general question, a lot
9 of us have asked questions, is there an
10 update on parking signage and advertising on
11 our preserved properties, our open space
12 properties that we've purchased? Because I
13 still get complaints, for example, I know
14 Legislator Nicolello and I on the same day
15 walked through one of the preserves in the
16 area and there was no way that you would
17 know that this was a public preserve being
18 that there was a lack of signage. What are
19 we doing, where are we on that?
20 MR. KELLY: Well, since the last
21 time this was brought up, this
22 administration has been working on a draft
23 of a general plan for all open space
24 properties and how we are going to make them
25 accessible, where we're going to put parking
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
25 25
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 areas, our signage plan, fencing, trail
3 markings, blazing trails on some of the
4 properties that don't have such facilities.
5 That plan is currently in the works. We
6 don't have a final plan yet, obviously,
7 there's a lot that goes on with that.
8 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Mr. Kelly,
9 I think that you do a great job and I don't
10 want to cut you off, but I think all of us
11 -- and I think all of us, it's great to have
12 a plan, and I know government doesn't always
13 work that fast, but it just doesn't seem
14 that difficult on Grossmans or any one of
15 the open space that that we know of to put
16 up some signs that just makes it clear to
17 people on the closest main street that a
18 county preserve or a county open space, turn
19 here, and then, right at the open space,
20 this is public parking for whichever
21 preserve or whichever open space it is.
22 MR. KELLY: Well, of course, it's
23 very easy to put up a sign that just says,
24 this is Grossmans Farm or this is the
25 Smithers Estate. What we've had over time
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
26 26
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 are problems --
3 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: It should
4 say public property.
5 MR. KELLY: Well, what we've had
6 over time are problems where we put up those
7 signs and they are either blown down by wind
8 or taken down, so it's very easy to just put
9 up a sign and say, this is where the
10 property is, and keep replacing those signs
11 other than finding a more permanent solution
12 to that problem which could be in the form
13 of actually putting stronger signs in,
14 entering into a contract to have somebody
15 find a more comprehensive, more permanent
16 solution to this issue.
17 So, yes, absolutely, you are
18 right, and these properties do need more
19 signage and more identification, and that's
20 all part of the overall plan that we have,
21 that we are developing in order to make open
22 space more accessible to the residents of
23 Nassau County. So that's something we're
24 actively working on.
25 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: I think
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
27 27
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 this is a good deal for everyone. Obviously
3 I'm going to vote for it. I'm sure we all
4 are. But waiting for a plan, if that's what
5 you need, that's great, but I'm really
6 urging you that the public trusted us to use
7 the Environmental Bond Act correctly. To
8 the extent that we've preserved a lot of
9 properties, that's great. I just -- I want
10 to make that as accessible as possible by
11 letting people know where they are and how
12 to get to them and where you can park.
13 T h a n k s .
14 MR. KELLY: Absolutely, and I
15 think we are all on the same side here, both
16 sides of the aisle and the administration.
17 We've heard the concerns of the various
18 legislators including yourself, and the
19 presiding officer, and also Legislator
20 Belesi who has also spoken on this issue,
21 and has also been very concerned with access
22 to open space property, so the Mangano
23 administration and this Legislature I
24 believe are all on the same side here and we
25 are all on the same side here and we are
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
28 28
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 very actively looking for a solution to this
3 problem and getting it done as soon as
4 possible.
5 LEGISLATOR FORD: Thank you very
6 much. I'm going to segregate from
7 Legislator Denenberg's questions because I
8 have some as well. I want to compliment you
9 though for the work that you've done on
10 this. I think the fact is that you do have
11 a plan in place and we're just waiting I
12 guess for further study and then you're
13 going to implement it.
14 MR. KELLY: Absolutely.
15 LEGISLATOR FORD: My question
16 then would be, when you took over this
17 position and started dealing with these
18 properties purchased under the environmental
19 bond, were there any plans left behind for
20 you to work from? Did anybody do any of
21 this work prior to this? I know that I
22 agree with Legislator Denenberg that since
23 we got past the Environmental Bond and we
24 purchased a lot of these properties, that I,
25 myself, have been asking to make sure that
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
29 29
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 the properties are marked, that they are
3 accessible, and maps given to us so that the
4 residents, especially those on the south
5 shore, that are not familiar with the north
6 shore, would know exactly where these
7 properties are.
8 Were there any records that you
9 were able to access to help expedite this
10 process of setting up maps and parking lots
11 and so forth?
12 MR. KELLY: Well, on a few of the
13 properties there were maps that were left
14 behind such as the Smithers property for
15 putting in a parking area, the Red Coat
16 property which is a combination of the
17 Holing (phonetic) property, Schwaab
18 property, and the Cutting property for
19 putting a parking area in there as well.
20 However, that's just a couple of
21 the properties. That's not all, I want to
22 say 19 that were purchased under the
23 Environmental Bond Act.
24 LEGISLATOR FORD: Were any of
25 these plans implemented?
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
30 30
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 MR. KELLY: Those two plans are
3 being implemented now?
4 LEGISLATOR FORD: Were they
5 implemented? My concern has been always
6 that we spent a lot of money preserving open
7 space which is something that we wanted to
8 do which is very important for the residents
9 here in Nassau County. But one of the
10 benefits of providing this open space was
11 especially to make it accessible to give
12 something for the residents here, that we
13 are using their taxpayer money to purchase
14 this and to provide them basically with a
15 destination, places that they can hike, that
16 they can go visit, perhaps even fish.
17 It seems to me I have not yet,
18 and I know you have only been doing this for
19 a year and a half since Mangano took over,
20 but I want to know because I look at the
21 Tiffany Creek Preserve and now you've made
22 plans we're going to purchase -- we're going
23 to give back Northwood and purchase the
24 other property, and finally get an easement
25 to join the two properties together.
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
31 31
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 So how is it prior to this that
3 the residents in Nassau County were able to
4 have access to the Tiffany Creek Preserve
5 and to be able to see that property?
6 MR. KELLY: Well, the Tiffany
7 Creek Preserve and the Northwood property,
8 the Tiffany Creek -- this property didn't
9 really have a parking issue because the
10 parking for this property was right next
11 door to the Northwood property. It's right
12 there. The issue with the Northwood
13 property was that it was half an issue with
14 access, it looks like somebody's backyard,
15 so you walk onto the property and only see
16 someone's house there, and that's why --
17 LEGISLATOR FORD: But it was
18 Nassau County property since 2004; am I not
19 c o r r e c t ?
20 MR. KELLY: Since 2007. 2008, I
21 a p o l o g i z e .
22 LEGISLATOR FORD: But, for me, I
23 just -- I know that even when Legislator
24 Belesi went and visited one of the
25 properties there was a lot of problems with
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
32 32
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 the former owner who just tried to
3 discourage people from going onto the
4 property that she got money for, and sold to
5 the county, and this is now county property
6 owned by the residents here in Nassau
7 County, and people were being denied access
8 to that property.
9 So what plans are we putting into
10 place finally to make it so that the
11 residents here in Nassau County have equal
12 access to all these properties?
13 MR. KELLY: I think you are
14 referring specifically to the Red Coat
15 property. That particular property, there
16 is a parking area that's going to be
17 installed very soon by the Department of
18 Public Works. That contract I believe is
19 out to bid right now to get that done. As
20 part of the plan that we were formulating,
21 one of our plans for that property would be
22 to fence off that property with post and
23 rail fence and have a surveyor come in and
24 mark out trails so that the people of Nassau
25 County can use that property.
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
33 33
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 LEGISLATOR FORD: What year did
3 we purchase that property, do you know
4 o f f h a n d ?
5 MR. KELLY: It was purchased in
6 three parts, one was I believe 2006, the
7 other two were 2008.
8 LEGISLATOR FORD: So five years
9 later we are finally going to get access.
10 About how many acres in total have we
11 purchased that we are working on now so that
12 we can have plans in place so the residents
13 in Nassau County can access their county
14 property?
15 MR. KELLY: It's 161 acres under
16 the 2006 Bond Act, and 83 I believe under
17 the 2004 Bond Act.
18 LEGISLATOR FORD: So then my
19 question would be, out of 161 acres, how
20 many of them right now have access so that
21 the residents can utilize, hike or camp, or
22 whatever they want to do?
23 MR. KELLY: I obviously don't
24 have it on an acre-by-acre basis. However,
25 all of the properties that we purchased
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
34 34
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 under the Bond Act are accessible in one way
3 or another.
4 LEGISLATOR FORD: Not clearly
5 accessible but, you, yourself, finally,
6 after all these years, there is finally a
7 comprehensive plan in place to make it so
8 it's easily identified and accessible for
9 the residents here in Nassau County; am I
10 c o r r e c t ?
11 MR. KELLY: We are developing
12 that plan right now. There is a lot of work
13 that has to go into in figuring out what to
14 do with over 240 acres of open space
15 property, and this administration has been
16 committed to that. There is figuring out
17 how we are going to fund the property. We
18 are considering taking money from the five
19 percent -- the fund when we sell surplus
20 property. Over time the county has
21 developed the Grossmans Farm property,
22 brought Nassau Land Trust in there. They
23 are doing a phenomenal job in keeping that
24 property open to the public.
25 The county has also selected
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
35 35
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 Cornell Cooperative Extension in Nassau
3 County to operate the East Meadow Farm in
4 East Meadow, and also Nassau Equestrian
5 Center to operate the Old Mill Farm in
6 J e r i c h o .
7 So there's been a lot of work
8 that's been done over the past year and a
9 half to insure that these properties are
10 open. There's been a lot of work that's
11 also taken place to make sure these
12 properties aren't vandalized in any way such
13 as the Trout Lake property, there's a lot of
14 fencing that we put up on that property to
15 keep people from dumping on that property.
16 Also the Parkway Drive property in Baldwin.
17 We obviously have a long way to
18 go. We know that it's a big job. But the
19 Mangano Administration is committed to doing
20 this and we have been working hard at doing
21 this in the last year and a half.
22 LEGISLATOR FORD: Well, I know,
23 having sat on the legislature with Ed
24 Mangano, and for him helping to pass this
25 Environmental Bond and making it of utmost
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
36 36
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 importance, that we protect as much open
3 space as we can, and even if not all the
4 property was acquired like even within its
5 own district, that we're willing because we
6 feel whatever we purchase, regardless of
7 what area it's purchased in, it belongs to
8 the residents here in Nassau County.
9 I have to say that I'm very happy
10 to hear that a plan has been put in place
11 and that you have been working on it for the
12 last year and a half. I'm just a little
13 saddened by the fact that some of this
14 property we purchased in 2004, something
15 that has been used, the voters voted for it,
16 the residents say they wanted the property
17 preserved, but unfortunately, for about
18 maybe the past six years, they were denied
19 access, and the privilege of being able to
20 walk on property that they purchased with
21 their hard earned tax dollars.
22 But I commend you and I commend
23 the county executive for finally doing
24 something so that the residents can enjoy
25 this property. Thank you.

3 That's going to change.
4 CHAIRWOMAN GONSALVES: Legislator
5 N i c o l e l l o .
6 LEGISLATOR NICOLELLO: Real
7 briefly, to add to that. Denise basically
8 said what I wanted to say in terms of the
9 access, but you also have a job to do in
10 telling people that this is available to
11 t h e m .
12 I did visit the Smithers
13 property. You don't even think you're on
14 Long Island anymore, you think you're in the
15 New England somewhere. It's beautiful. I
16 think that 90 percent of the residents have
17 no idea that these properties are
18 available, that they can go hiking there.
19 So that's going to be the second part of
20 your job in this matter.
21 MR. KELLY: That's exactly
22 c o r r e c t .
23 LEGISLATOR NICOLELLO: I think
24 with regard to this particular item, not
25 only are we continuing to insure that
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
38 38
1 Planning & Development Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 Northwoods does not get developed, it gets
3 conserved in perpetuity, but we also are
4 getting part of the Banfy property back. So
5 in effect we are doubling the amount of
6 property we are preserving?
7 MR. KELLY: That's correct, as
8 opposed to the Northwood property, we spent
9 $11 million on that property to preserve 33
10 and a half acres. Here, we are not spending
11 any more money, in fact, we are getting some
12 of it back. We are continuing to preserve
13 the Northwood property, that 33 and a half
14 acres, and we are going to be preserving
15 another 35 acres. So we are talking about
16 close to 70 acres of property that we are
17 going to preserve by leveraging the
18 Northwood property.
19 LEGISLATOR NICOLELLO: That's
20 great. Super job.
21 CHAIRWOMAN GONSALVES: Any other

3 Item 350-11 is to dedicate the portion of

5 acquiring per the land swap that we just
6 described.
7 As you may know, the county
8 needed state authorization to release the
9 Northwood property. This was a requirement
10 that was placed upon the state's consent to
11 this in the state legislation that was
12 enacted earlier this year and which was
13 signed by the governor.
14 So when the property is acquired
15 by the county, this resolution will function
16 to dedicate it as parkland and enter it into

10 on these items, we are ready to hear you.
11 MR. McMANUS: Bob McManus, Nassau
12 County District Attorney's Office. These
13 appropriations all involve civil or federal
14 forfeiture funds. We receive awards based
15 on our involvement in criminal
16 investigations and your approval of these
17 items will allow us to use these funds for
18 future law enforcement efforts. Do we have
19 any questions from any of the legislators?
20 LEGISLATOR WINK: I have a
21 question for Mr. McManus. As we know, we
22 have a number of items here related to
23 forfeiture funds and whatnot. We also, at
24 the end of the calendar, have a resolution
25 to enter into an intermunicipal agreement
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
7 7
1 Public Safety Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 with the county of Westchester with respect
3 to the crime lab. What I was wondering is,
4 first of all, I guess we'll get to where
5 those monies are coming from for that deal
6 when we get to that item, but my general
7 question is, to the best of your knowledge,
8 are forfeiture funds available for the use
9 in extraordinary circumstances like we have
10 with the crime lab and whether or not -- I'm
11 just wondering how we're going to pay for
12 that and whether or not forfeiture funds
13 could be used on a short-term basis for
14 t h a t ?
15 MR. McMANUS: The police
16 department forfeiture funds are currently
17 being used for retesting of laboratory
18 specimens that have been involved in this
19 problem. In terms of future testing, I'm
20 not certain if it is appropriate to use
21 forfeiture funds. I will get an answer for
22 you, but I don't know in terms of the future
23 testing, I'm not clear on that.
24 LEGISLATOR WINK: If you could
25 find that out, I would appreciate that.

17 for Nassau County.

23 every one of these.

REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
11 11
1 Public Safety Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 appropriation. It's going to move $20,571
3 in funds received from the satisfaction of
4 court ordered restitution for disposition of
5 narcotics related arrests and it moves the
6 money back into -- from the narcotics bureau
7 to use for future narcotics enforcement.
8 That's 337.
9 CHAIRMAN DUNNE: What's 355?
10 MR. STEPHANOFF: 355 is a part
11 New York State and Federal HOV grant. The
12 total amount is $747,041 and that's going to
13 be used for HOV enforcement for ticket
14 enforcement.
15 CHAIRMAN DUNNE: Are we going to
16 see any monies from that or does that go to
17 t h e s t a t e ?
18 MR. STEPHANOFF: The tickets go
19 to the Nassau County Traffic, they're
20 written locally.
21 CHAIRMAN DUNNE: Any questions on

23 (No verbal response.)

REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
12 12
1 Public Safety Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 MR. STEPHANOFF: 356 is a
3 resolution for the Nassau County Police to
4 enter into an intermunicipal agreement with
5 Westchester County forensic lab to test
6 trace evidence for the police department.
7 The lab is ASCLD certified, and the locality
8 is conducive for us to drive -- drop off and
9 pick up the evidence.
10 CHAIRMAN DUNNE: Any questions on
11 this one from any legislators? I know that
12 Wayne Wink, you mentioned something before,
13 did you have a question?
14 LEGISLATOR WINK: I actually
15 wanted to find out first where the funds
16 come from to pay for this intermunicipal
17 agreement.
18 MR. STEPHANOFF: These are going
19 to be operating funds.
20 LEGISLATOR WINK: Operating
21 funds, okay. Do you have any idea whether
22 the forfeiture funds can be used for this
23 p u r p o s e ?
24 MR. STEPHANOFF: It's my
25 understanding, this is regular police
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
13 13
1 Public Safety Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 business, which would be supplementing the
3 budget, supplanting the budget, so that
4 asset is used usually for things above and
5 beyond budgeted items.
6 LEGISLATOR WINK: I was just
7 wondering giving the exigency and the unique
8 nature of the circumstances whether or not
9 this is something that might qualify.
10 MR. STEPHANOFF: Yes, I don't
11 believe asset could pay -- this is our
12 regular course of police business which we
13 budget every year for.
14 LEGISLATOR WINK: Well, we don't
15 budget for this, we budget for the
16 operations.
17 MR. STEPHANOFF: But the testing
18 is similar to this.
19 CHAIRMAN DUNNE: Legislator
20 D e n e n b e r g .
21 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Well,
22 first, along the lines of what Legislator
23 Wink was just asking, when you say
24 "operating funds will cover this," operating
25 funds that were otherwise designated to
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
14 14
1 Public Safety Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 operate our lab, we can use to pay the
3 Westchester County Lab for this information?
4 MR. STEPHANOFF: Yes, we will
5 outsource the evidence rather than testing
6 in house.
7 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: We're not
8 using up all of our operating funds just in
9 the necessary corrections that we're going
10 to need to do with our own lab?
11 MR. STEPHANOFF: No. I believe
12 what we're doing is taking the evidence we
13 would have tested in-house. We won't expend
14 it to test in-house. We're going to send it
15 out to test.
16 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: And we can
17 stay right in the same budget?
18 MR. STEPHANOFF: We should have
19 the money to cover it, yes.
20 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: When did
21 this contract start? I know it's until next
22 February of 12. It says March 1st.
23 CHAIRMAN DUNNE: But I don't
24 believe we sent anything there.
25 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: That's why
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
15 15
1 Public Safety Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 I'm asking. When did we start sending --
3 MR. STEPHANOFF: I don't think we
4 have yet. We're holding it to send.
5 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: So why is
6 it dated March 1?
7 MR. STEPHANOFF: I believe that's
8 when they commenced setting up this
9 contract.
10 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: So the
11 amount is $20,000, is that it?
12 MR. STEPHANOFF: Yes.
13 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: That would
14 be through February 28th, 2012?
15 MR. STEPHANOFF: Yes.
16 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Which
17 actually could be February 29th. And this
18 IMA, which is performing trace evidence
19 analysis, will this cover other analyses or
20 are we looking at different IMAs for other
21 evidence that might need crime lab analysis?
22 MR. STEPHANOFF: We use National
23 Medical Service for the other evidence, and
24 this is just for trace evidence.
25 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: National
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
16 16
1 Public Safety Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 Medical Service, are we going to get a
3 contract to review for that? Maybe I missed
4 it, but I don't recall this committee
5 reviewing --
6 MR. STEPHANOFF: I believe we are
7 using it now.
8 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: So
9 shouldn't we get a contract to approve?
10 Don't we have to pay?
11 MR. STEPHANOFF: I think we had
12 one in effect that we're using, because they
13 were testing some of our stuff beforehand.
14 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: All right.
15 So did we increase that contract though?
16 MR. STEPHANOFF: I can check.
17 I'm not sure.
18 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Please get
19 back to us on that because it just seems
20 strange that I was only seeing something for
21 performing the trace evidence. In entering
22 the final area of questioning, in entering
23 into this intermunicipal agreement and using
24 the County of Westchester Crime Lab for
25 trace evidence, or using the National Crime
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
17 17
1 Public Safety Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 Lab Center for evidence, it's the Police
3 Department's choice, but do you -- I'm
4 correct in that, right?
5 MR. STEPHANOFF: Yes.
6 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: What
7 about, do you make that choice in
8 consultation with the District Attorney's
9 O f f i c e ?
10 MR. STEPHANOFF: I'm not sure.
11 This kind of work had to be done with a law
12 enforcement lab and this Westchester lab was
13 able to accommodate the workload for us.
14 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: I just
15 want to make sure our prosecutors, who use
16 the evidence when prosecuting cases, are
17 comfortable --
18 MR. STEPHANOFF: It's a fully
19 accredited lab and the close proximity will
20 allow us to maintain the chain of evidence
21 for the District Attorney's Office.
22 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: And we
23 found them more economical to use
24 Westchester than Suffolk or Queens?
25 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: They were
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
18 18
1 Public Safety Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 able to also take our work. I don't believe
3 they were able to take our work.
4 LEGISLATOR DENENBERG: Thank you.
5 CHAIRMAN DUNNE: Vice Chair Joe
6 B e l e s i .
7 LEGISLATOR BELESI: Just one
8 question, sergeant. How is the evidence
9 getting transported up there?
10 MR. STEPHANOFF: We are going to
11 have department members transport it, and
12 since it's close enough, they will do it in
13 one day without incurring any extra costs.
14 LEGISLATOR BELESI: Another
15 question. We are not sending anything by
16 Fed Ex or any of those carriers, are we?
17 MR. STEPHANOFF: I'll double
18 check, but I don't believe so.
19 LEGISLATOR BELESI: Thank you.
20 CHAIRMAN DUNNE: Would you let us
21 know about that, please?
22 MR. STEPHANOFF: Yes, I will.

8 CHAIRMAN MUSCARELLA: Hi, Chris.
9 Can you just give us a brief explanation of
10 this item?
11 MR. FEDELE: It's just for the
12 supplemental appropriation of $291,390 in
13 funds received from New York City. We had
14 helped them out back I think in March of
15 2010. They had a microburst come through a
16 section of Queens and we had just helped
17 them out with cleaning up trees and other
18 damage as a result of the storm.
19 This is just to move that
20 $140,000 of the $291,000 into our road
21 maintenance AA line to cover overtime
22 expenses and the remainder into DD for
23 materials and supplies and gasoline and
24 diesel fuel.

3 MR. FEDELE: Well, some of the

5 stuff that we used while we were helping the

7 that we need that we weren't budgeted for.

2 MR. TATAGLIATA: This is for the
3 purchase of HVAC equipment for the aquatic

5 total cost of $2,860,400.
6 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Anybody have
7 any questions?
8 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: To the chair.
9 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Legislator
10 D u n n e .
11 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: Is this in
12 repair of the problems that we're having
13 n o w ?
14 MR. TATAGLIATA: Yes. It's part
15 of the whole project, what we're doing,
16 we're just prepurchasing some of the
17 equipment, the HVAC equipment and then we're
18 also prepurchasing the lighting. We didn't
19 put them in the contract for the whole
20 project. We figured if we purchased the
21 equipment ourselves, we would actually save
22 a little bit of money because we wouldn't
23 have to pay whatever markup the vendor for
24 the project would charge us.
25 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: You saw the

3 this will fit in within it?
4 MR. TATAGLIATA: Yes. This will
5 fight. This the right to spec actually.
6 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Where does
7 this money come from?
8 MR. TATAGLIATA: Going to come
9 from a capital project, a capital project
10 for the aquatic center. I don't have the
11 number with me.
12 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: My question
13 is, is it a capital project that was adopted
14 this year for in prior years?
15 MR. TATAGLIATA: I think in prior
16 years, I believe.
17 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: Mr. Schmitt?

20 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: Let me just
21 ask you one question. What we are
22 purchasing under this, will it be able to be
23 used as the aquatic center problems are
24 being corrected and replaced?
25 MR. TATAGLIATA: Well, actually,
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
9 9

5 MR. FEDELE: This is actually for
6 286 light fixtures, again, for the aquatic
7 center project. We're replacing every
8 fixture in there. The current fixtures are
9 rusted. Some of them have fallen down.
10 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Any questions?
11 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: Yes. They're
12 going to be put in properly using the right
13 kind of steel that it won't rust out and
14 fall in a pool like what recently happened?
15 MR. FEDELE: Yes, we shouldn't
16 have any of the same problems that we had.

18 same precautions that it will not happen
19 again. So this is nuts, thank you.

4 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Hello,
5 sergeant. Tell us what this is, please.
6 MR. STEPHANOFF: This is, the
7 Environmental Protection Agency is awarding
8 us $708,000 and the county is coming us with
9 $236,000 and this is for the purchase and
10 installation of ten new tier two EPA
11 compliant diesel engines Ray & Burrows large
12 patrol boats. These engine replacements are
13 going to reduce diesel emissions in the
14 Nassau County waterways as well as the
15 surrounding communities, save on fuel costs
16 with more cleaner and efficient engines,
17 extend the service lives of the vessels and
18 save on maintenance costs on older engines.
19 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Does anybody
20 have any questions on this? Legislator
21 B o s w o r t h .
22 LEGISLATOR BOSWORTH: I know when

17 17
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1

5 five as per the early intervention and the

7 required by New York State law.
8 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I believe the

10 MS. LORRAINE: Yes, that's for $8
11 million and it's for Acme Bussing.

3 Devon Ross, commanding officer of the

5 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Is there
6 anything that you can tell us out here or do
7 we have to go inside?
8 MR. ROSS: Basically it's
9 equipment that's being purchased by a
10 Homeland Security grant in full and it's
11 used in investigations ranging from
12 homicides to counter terrorism to gang
13 initiatives, and it's also used in
14 situations involved kidnapping and things
15 like that.
16 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Does anybody
17 have any questions?
18 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: We are not
19 putting up any money?
20 MR. ROSS: No, not putting up any
21 money. Being paid for in full by Homeland
22 S e c u r i t y .
23 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Anybody else?
24 J u d i .
25 LEGISLATOR BOSWORTH: So this is
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
21 21
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 a one-time cost but I assume there would be
3 ongoing maintenance and ongoing costs each
4 year. Would those costs be likewise paid
5 for by Homeland Security or is this
6 something that as we get this system, then
7 it becomes an ongoing cost for the county?
8 MR. ROSS: Well, there is a
9 maintenance built into the cost that the
10 Homeland Security is paying for up front.
11 Down the road, that's something that has to
12 be addressed on a yearly basis or a
13 time-line basis with Homeland Security
14 whether or not they will keep increasing
15 t h a t .
16 LEGISLATOR BOSWORTH: What would
17 be the potential cost for us each year going
18 f o r w a r d ?
19 MR. ROSS: After, I believe, the
20 second year, to add any of the ability to do
21 investigation with newer technology,
22 approximately, I believe, ten percent of the
23 purchase price. But there's also
24 maintenance and training built into that
25 price. There's an extensive amount of
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
22 22
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 training used on that equipment, so the
3 actual $344,000 ticket price isn't the cost
4 of the actual equipment. That includes
5 maintenance and training also. The purchase
6 price of the equipment I believe is in the
7 200,000s area.
8 LEGISLATOR BOSWORTH: I don't
9 want to belabor this, but as we get new
10 officers on the force and as people retire
11 and others need to be trained, is that
12 something that then becomes the
13 responsibility of the county?
14 MR. ROSS: Usually, when it comes
15 to training on equipment like this, it's
16 usually paid for by asset forfeiture funding
17 from the police department.
18 LEGISLATOR BOSWORTH: Thank you.

4 Joe Davenport, Department of Public Works.
5 On Item B-19, it's a publicly bid
6 construction contract for the improvement to
7 the Cedar Point Lake Stormwater Pump
8 Station. This contract received three
9 general construction bids. We are
10 recommending an award to the lowest bidder
11 Biltwel General Construction Corp. We
12 evaluated their past performance and
13 experience and we find them suitable for
14 this contract work. Any questions?
15 (No verbal response.)

22 aid project with 80 percent reimbursement.
23 It encompasses approximately 25 signals.

6 push a button and it's still not enough time
7 for them. Is this going to be able to
8 rectify the length of time it takes to cross
9 streets for --
10 MR. LINDGREN: That particular
11 location isn't included in this project. We
12 can certainly look into --
13 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: Would you send
14 somebody there to increase the time for them
15 to cross?
16 MR. LINDGREN: Sure.
17 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: B-21.
18 MR. SCHNEIDER: Brian Schneider
19 from Public Works on B-21. This is a
20 construction contract to install a sprinkler
21 system at the Holocaust Memorial Center in
22 Garveys Point. The Holocaust Center is a 75
23 year old facility. It's very heavily used
24 by the public and has had many fire code
25 violations in the past and this sprinkler
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
27 27
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 system will be installed to address all
3 those violations. Bid documents were
4 publicized and we had four bidders pick up
5 documents. The bids supplied by Trident
6 Construction Corporation from Plainview in
7 the amount of $342,304 was deemed to be the
8 lowest responsive bidder and we are
9 recommending approval of this construction
10 contract and the contract will have six
11 months to complete the work.
12 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Any questions?
13 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: The sprinkler

13 Public Works. This is another signal
14 replacement project with fiber optic
15 communications. Approximately 42 signals in
16 the Wantagh/Levittown, Hicksville and East
17 Meadow area. The federal funding is a
18 little bit different on this one. It's a 95
19 percent federal and state funding and five
20 percent county.
21 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: My question on
22 this is, is that what it is, you're putting
23 the larger --
24 MR. LINDGREN: A complete rebuild
25 of the traffic signals, larger signal heads,
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
29 29
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 12 inch signal heads for increased

4 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: So every one
5 of them, or is it only certain ones you put
6 the timing on --
7 MR. LINDGREN: All of them will
8 have that. And we are adding fiber optic
9 communications for the ability to
10 communicate with the traffic management
11 center in Westbury.
12 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: Thank you.
13 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Any other
14 questions on this?
15 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: I have one.
16 While we have you here. The countdown
17 clocks that you have, they are lifesavers, I
18 believe, anyway. Is it expected that that
19 will come on to every county traffic light
20 eventually?
21 MR. LINDGREN: Yes. There's
22 actually a separate contract right now
23 that's replacing those pedestrian signals

19 MR. SCHNEIDER: Brian Schneider
20 from Public Works. Item B-25-11 is a
21 construction contract for improvements at
22 Grant Park through the installation of
23 synthetic turf fields. The apparent low
24 bidder is Laser Industries and they're from
25 Ridge, New York. Their bid was evaluated
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
32 32
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 and is deemed to be the lowest responsive
3 bidder. The contract provides for the
4 expenditure of $2,529,825. Bids are open on
5 May 24th and Laser was, again, the low
6 bidder which was just under two percent
7 lower than the engineer's estimate. The
8 funding will be provided by the capital
9 project 41006 and 41829.
10 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Mr. Dunne.
11 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: When I was
12 younger I played at Grant Park and I had my
13 grandson play there a few years ago and it
14 was like sludge heaven in the outfields. Is
15 that all going to be rectified before you
16 put this --
17 MR. SCHNEIDER: Correct. The
18 fields are designed with proper drainage and
19 elevation so that they will not hold any
20 water, and there will be synthetic turf
21 instead of the natural grass which has been
22 a problem.
23 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: That's been
24 needed for so long. Thank you.
25 MR. SCHNEIDER: You want me to
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
33 33
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 talk on Item B-26 as well?
3 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Yes.
4 MR. SCHNEIDER: B-26-11 is a
5 construction contract for the improvements
6 at Cedar Creek Park in Wantagh, also
7 synthetic turf field improvements. We have
8 four firms that submitted bids. The
9 apparent low bidder also was Laser
10 Industries who was evaluated and their bid
11 was deemed to be the lowest responsive based
12 on our review. The contract provides for
13 the expenditure of $3,344,660 and capital
14 projects 41006, 41829, and the Environmental
15 Bond Act, 98200 will be providing funding
16 for this work.
17 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: To the chair,
18 i f I m a y .
19 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Mr. Dunne.
20 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: Some of the
21 synthetic fields are better than others. I
22 understand when we did Mitchell Field we got
23 the lesser expensive field and there are
24 more injuries on a less expensive field. Is
25 this the better of the fields, or is this
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
34 34
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 mediocre, or where does this rate as far as
3 t h e - -
4 MR. SCHNEIDER: Well, the field
5 turf which is our specification has certain
6 resiliency criteria, so this is standard,
7 basically, state of the art turf products
8 that we're installing. We are not looking
9 to install something on the cheap to save a
10 few dollars and risk injuries. These are
11 standard specifications for turf fields
12 throughout.
13 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: Did you check
14 some of the locations that they've already
15 put the fields in?
16 MR. SCHNEIDER: Oh, yes. Laser
17 Industries, as far as the contractors who
18 are doing this kind of work, I mean the
19 firms that bid on these fields specifically
20 are very reputable. They have been
21 installing these fields at school districts
22 throughout the area, throughout the region,
23 in school districts and parks as well. So
24 these fields are going in all over the
25 p l a c e .

7 percent lower than the engineer's estimate.
8 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: And it's the
9 same exact field that -- they are all the

6 MS. LORRAINE: Good afternoon.
7 Mary Ellen Lorraine, Department of Health.
8 Item 121 is a contract with Cornell
9 Cooperative Extension of Nassau County in
10 the amount of $36,000. The term was from
11 January 1, 2011 to April 30, 2011. The
12 contract was for community based nutrition
13 education, environmental horticulture and
14 parenting programs.
15 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Why did it
16 take so long to get here?
17 MS. LORRAINE: Well, the original
18 contract was for a year but the department
19 had to make some very difficult decisions
20 and cut contracts so it was originally
21 $108,000 so we had to resubmit.
22 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Any other
23 questions? Legislator Bosworth.
24 LEGISLATOR BOSWORTH: Thank you.
25 You mention the time period, January 1st to
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
39 39
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 April 30th, and that is a very small period
3 of time. Is this all that Cornell
4 Cooperative will be getting this year to
5 cover that short period of time?
6 MS. LORRAINE: Yes.
7 LEGISLATOR BOSWORTH: So we've
8 cut all the services that have been extended
9 through the summer, into summer programs,
10 and to all the various agencies that they
11 have been working with?
12 MS. LORRAINE: Well, the ones
13 that the health department funded, yes, the

18 Tom Delaney, Nassau County OEM. This is a
19 contract to provide the EOC with a video
20 wall to provide situational awareness during
21 activations. It's 100 percent grant funded.
22 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: A quarter of a
23 million dollars?
24 MR. DELANEY: That's correct,
25 sir. We did an RFP on this, we had a
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
41 41
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 committee of some pretty good panelists who
3 went through all the responses and we
4 awarded this to who we felt would be the
5 best vendor in this situation.
6 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: What actually
7 does this thing do?
8 MR. DELANEY: The video wall is
9 going to be able to provide feeds from
10 various sources so they can simultaneously
11 displayed in the EOC providing, again,
12 informational awareness, situational

14 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Is EOC the

21 jury document assembly system. The district
22 attorney's grand jury document assembly
23 system was previously designed by this
24 vender using a combination of components
25 from various systems and programs. As you
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
43 43
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 know, grand jury proceedings have very

6 This agreement is critical in

17 MR. DELANEY: Tom Delaney.
18 Nassau County OEM has a grant, a specialized
19 targeted grant to allow us to develop
20 comprehensive -- excuse me, interoperable
21 communications plant. An RFP was done and a
22 vendor was chosen to develop this plan for
23 Nassau County.
24 Subsequently, we also have
25 another grant which is going to allow us to
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
46 46
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 exercise this plan.
3 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Any questions?
4 Legislator Bosworth has a question.
5 LEGISLATOR BOSWORTH: There have
6 been so many concerns by our village mayors
7 because of the inability for them to
8 interact with the 800 megahertz system, is
9 this going to be replacing that, does this
10 have nothing to do with that, how does this
11 relate to our local mayors in terms of their
12 ability to communicate with each other and
13 the county?
14 MR. DELANEY: It's not going to
15 be replacing it. What it will be doing is
16 developing solutions to allow bridging
17 between those various discreet networks that
18 we have for communications. It's going to
19 be again just developing a plan so that we
20 can include everyone in the ability to have
21 inner-operable communications.
22 LEGISLATOR BOSWORTH: So, in
23 other words, if they have the equipment that
24 they have and that they have gotten at great
25 expense through various sources, because
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
47 47
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 apparently now the system is not operating
3 very well at all. So, this would enable
4 them to hopefully connect with everybody and
5 the county?
6 MR. DELANEY: I would hope that
7 we would be able to utilize the existing
8 equipment and leverage that. But myself,
9 not being the one developing this plan, that
10 would be at outcome of the plan.
11 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Legislator
12 C i o t t i .
13 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: I'm looking
14 at the disparities in the bids here from
15 $389,000 to $286,000. The one that bid
16 $86,000, are they going to be able to do
17 this job or are they going to come back and
18 want substantially more money?
19 MR. DELANEY: We only had
20 $125,000 in the grant to be able to award
21 this. The company that was chosen has done
22 this previously. We felt very confident in
23 their abilities. In fact, this is a
24 relatively small job.
25 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: When they did
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
48 48
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 it previously, were they within contract
3 numbers or did they go above that?
4 MR. DELANEY: Again, as they've
5 expressed to me, this is kind of a small job
6 f o r t h e m .
7 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: That's not my
8 question. The question is, if they bid
9 $90,000 last time, did they come in at 130
10 or did they come in under 90?
11 MR. DELANEY: I can't say what
12 they bid on on their previous jobs.
13 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: Don't you
14 think that's relevant? I see a bid for
15 $389,000 and it's from a telecommunications
16 company and I see another one for $357,000.
17 So what are they seeing in their bid --
18 MR. DELANEY: I'm sorry. I
19 didn't really understand the question. Greg
20 just pointed it out. I can't really say, to
21 be honest with you, why they bid so much.
22 Maybe they didn't realize that what we were
23 trying to achieve here. Maybe because they
24 didn't have the experience in trying to do
25 this. I can't say that. All I can say is,
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
49 49
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 the people that bid very high were way out
3 of scope both on our financial thresholds
4 and what we felt was appropriate.
5 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: I'm concerned
6 that they are bidding substantially more and
7 you are picking a company with substantially
8 less that that company is going to be able
9 come in at that number. We've seen
10 historically companies hired at a certain
11 number and either quadrupling or tripling
12 the actually amount of the contract. So
13 they get in on the ground floor but they
14 ultimately end up nailing the county. So
15 you said that this company did previous
16 w o r k ?
17 MR. DELANEY: Yes, and it is a
18 fixed-bid contract.
19 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: Same work?
20 MR. DELANEY: Same type of work
21 with other municipalities right here in
22 N a s s a u .

14 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: How much is

18 The original contract was for two years
19 signed in September of '08 with three
20 one-year extensions. Its purpose is for
21 project oversight, mainly the data
22 maintenance and the ongoing items for that
23 maintenance.
24 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: So this is

REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353

2 MR. EISENSTEIN: There's one more

4 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: What is the
5 nature of the amendment?
6 MR. EISENSTEIN: The nature of
7 the amendment is to cover the data
8 maintenance of the project of that product
9 in the county.
10 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: At what point
11 does the county pick it up and do the work
12 themselves?
13 MR. EISENSTEIN: This project,
14 since it's been put in, has been primarily
15 maintained by the vendor, the day-to-day
16 operations do take place by CSEA staff that
17 is currently working on day-to-day
18 operations.
19 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: What's the
20 distinction between maintained by the county
21 and operated by the -- I don't know --
22 MR. EISENSTEIN: It's the day to
23 day operation. Day-to-day operations are
24 people asking for copies of their data, of
25 their townships, of their particular streets
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
54 54
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 and whatnot. The data maintenance is an
3 overhaul of the whole system that's
4 required, roughly about once a year,
5 software changes, software updates, as
6 opposed to interactions with end users
7 d i r e c t l y .
8 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: That's
9 $155,000?
10 MR. EISENSTEIN: $150,000.
11 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: How are we
12 billed on that, hourly?
13 MR. EISENSTEIN: We're billed as
14 an annual contract number on that.
15 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: Does that
16 mean if they do one hour they get $155,000,
17 if they do 4,000 -- I'm just not
18 understanding, are they getting paid hourly
19 and are they submitting bills for their
20 w o r k ?
21 MR. EISENSTEIN: They are
22 submitting bills to us that we are verifying
23 with our people, yes.
24 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: Is it done on
25 an hourly basis, how is it done?

6 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Moved by
7 Legislator Ciotti, seconded by Legislator
8 Walker. Mr. Ciampoli.
9 MR. CIAMPOLI: Legislator Schmitt
10 and legislators, this is a contract that we
11 have with this law firm. They are
12 specialists in Native American Law and have
13 experience obviously in Native American
14 casinos and the relationships and laws that
15 apply to them. As the legislature is well
16 aware, we continue to negotiate with the
17 Shinnecocks for location of a casino in
18 Nassau County.
19 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Any questions?
20 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: Yes. Why
21 are we getting this so late?
22 MR. CIAMPOLI: I don't know. I
23 can't account for why it came out of the
24 pipeline here this late. I can tell you
25 that in my office we have lost staff that
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
62 62
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 handled contracts and processed contracts,
3 so there's been a delay on just about all of
4 t h e m .
5 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: Well, as my
6 colleague just said, it's been since
7 December of last year. This is almost a
8 year we haven't seen this.
9 MR. CIAMPOLI: We did have a
10 problem getting some of the paperwork out of
11 the vendor there, out of the firm, so that
12 we had a complete package to begin to move
13 it through the pipeline, to the best of my
14 recollection. But I can't account for that
15 other than that.
16 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: So what do
17 you see as the end total? This is now up at
18 $125,000, and what else should we expect
19 from this company?
20 MR. CIAMPOLI: Well, what we
21 should expect is the services will continue
22 as we continue to negotiate with the state
23 and with the Shinnecocks for location of a
24 casino here. The services have included
25 monitoring the passage of legislation that's
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
63 63
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 required in Washington, working with us in
3 terms of relationships with the state. And
4 other developments in the gaming industry.
5 I can't give you a cap on that
6 nor would I venture to give you a cap on the
7 contract. I'm hopeful that it will be a
8 reasonable amount that relates to the
9 successful location of a casino in Nassau
10 C o u n t y .
11 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: Since it's
12 not a hub area that this is going to,
13 they're going to negotiate for us on state
14 owned property?
15 MR. CIAMPOLI: Well, the county
16 is obviously a player, if you will pardon
17 that pun, in those negotiations. The county
18 certainly has an interest in seeing that any
19 revenue that's generated in the county is
20 protected and goes to the county. Obviously
21 the combination for location of a casino in
22 the hub area and a location of a casino in
23 the Elmont area at the racetrack are
24 different, however, we do need to negotiate
25 an outright agreement with the Shinnecocks
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
64 64
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 and to be part of the process with both the
3 state and federal government in order to
4 insure that there is revenue generated from
5 the project for the county.
6 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: Are there
7 any more bills to date, since this is from
8 December, has there been anything else
9 submitted since this is an old bill?
10 MR. CIAMPOLI: I can't tell you
11 whether there have or have not been invoices
12 that would take us to the level of the
13 a m e n d m e n t .
14 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: Didn't we
15 hire Rivkin Radler for this same issue?
16 MR. CIAMPOLI: Not for expertise
17 in Native American Law, certainly not.
18 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: What is
19 their expertise then in that project, that's
20 what we were told was the contract that was
21 put through for --
22 MR. CIAMPOLI: Which project?
23 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: Hub project
24 with the casino. They were supposed to look
25 a t i t .

2 MR. CIAMPOLI: Who "they"?
3 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: Rivkin
4 R a d l e r .
5 MR. CIAMPOLI: Rivkin Radler was
6 brought in to review contracts with the
7 Islanders for the coliseum and the hub
8 p r o j e c t .
9 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: So they're
10 negotiating the information that we don't
11 have yet?
12 MR. CIAMPOLI: They would be
13 negotiating with the Islanders. There is a
14 proposed lease that is the product of those
15 negotiations. That is somewhat separate and
16 apart from dealing with the federal
17 government and the necessary transfers of
18 land, the necessary division of revenue to
19 protect the county's interest with the
20 Shinnecock nation.
21 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: It's not
22 Nixon Peabody doing that at the hub?
23 MR. CIAMPOLI: Nixon Peabody, I
24 believe, is also involved in the hub
25 negotiations.

9 Brian Schneider from Public Works. This

15 field installations that I previously
16 testified on at Cedar Creek and Grant Park
17 and also two other facilities which will be
18 coming before you at the next committee
19 m e e t i n g .
20 We did send out a request for
21 proposal dated May 23rd. We had 14 firms
22 respond. Cameron Engineering was selected
23 as the highest technically rated firm and
24 their cost proposal offers the best value to
25 the county. The contract covers

6 MR. BRODERICK: Paul Broderick,
7 Department of Social Services. The
8 department is requesting a contract with FCA
9 for for $1.7 million to provide preventive
10 services for children of Nassau County.
11 This is a mandated service and it is 75
12 percent funded from outside sources, 25
13 percent county funded.
14 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: You say a
15 million 7, my backup says $806,000, is that
16 the county share?

20 for $806,000?

2 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Hold on, my
3 mistake. Thanks, that helps. $1,720,000.
4 What do they do for this?
5 MR. BRODERICK: It's preventive
6 service for children.
7 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: What does that
8 m e a n ?
9 MR. BRODERICK: We had spoken a
10 few weeks ago about trying to keep children
11 out of the juvenile justice system, and
12 prior to a child being introduced to
13 probation or going to the JDC, this
14 organization works with kids that are
15 potentially heading in that path to try to
16 modify their behavior and work with them and
17 the families.
18 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: So you
19 identified the children and put them into
20 this program?
21 MR. BRODERICK: That's correct.
22 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Anybody else
23 have other questions? Yes, Legislator
24 W a l k e r .
25 LEGISLATOR WALKER: Mr.
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
71 71
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 Broderick, you found success, tremendous
3 amount of success when we met several times
4 you had said that this program seems to be
5 working well in keeping our youth from
6 having need of the PINS supervision.
7 MR. BRODERICK: Absolutely. This
8 all falls into coordination with say
9 probation and VERA Institute and reforms in
10 the juvenile justice systems, so this is
11 something of an integral part of that in
12 trying to avoid kids going into the juvenile
13 justice system.
14 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Legislator
15 B o s w o r t h .
16 LEGISLATOR BOSWORTH: I notice
17 that the time of the contract is January
18 1st, 2011, so it's late for this to first be
19 coming to us. We're now in the middle of
20 July. Obviously I'm new to Rules. How does
21 that work with funding if there is a
22 contract that is first coming to us now that
23 was supposed to start in January, how does
24 that work?
25 MR. BRODERICK: Is that question
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
72 72
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 to me or someone else? Anyone want to
3 answer? If there is a delay, what happens
4 to the funding sources from the state? As
5 soon as we submit claims for reimbursement,
6 we're going to get the money back from the
7 s t a t e .
8 LEGISLATOR BOSWORTH: Have you
9 been submitting claims and have you had them
10 reimbursed?
11 MR. BRODERICK: Not as of yet

15 MR. TATAGLIATA: Good afternoon.
16 This is a contract to establish the
17 custodial cleaning services. It has been an
18 existing contract and was given certain --
19 several emergency management services while
20 it was under review. The review was that it
21 was being challenged by the industries for
22 the disabled, and during that time we found
23 that the Industries for the Disabled would
24 have charged us 30 percent more.
25 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: How is this
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
76 76
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 not CSEA work?
3 MR. TATAGLIATA: I think that's
4 what's being looked at and is being looked
5 at by the agencies. And Commissioner Foskey
6 is here from rec and parks and he can do a
7 little bit of an analysis on how much we are
8 going to save.
9 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: Can I just
10 ask a question before Commissioner Foskey
11 s p e a k s ?
12 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Sure.
13 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: Before you
14 decided to go away from CSEA, was this
15 presented to CSEA to see if they can handle
16 i t ?
17 MR. TATAGLIATA: I got in the
18 middle of this contract and I don't know the
19 answer to that question.
20 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: I just want
21 to say one thing to you. I know that for
22 years, on both sides of the aisle, we've
23 always spoken to CSEA before, I don't want
24 to use the word permission, but just to be
25 certain they agree with us, that this is
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
77 77
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 something that should be outsourced. I was
3 just wondering, that's all.
4 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Commissioner
5 Foskey, how are you?
6 MR. FOSKEY: The parks department
7 actually had a conversation with CSEA and
8 the goal here, and eventually that's what
9 we're going to do. We are going to
10 transition BSI out and we're going to hire
11 our own employees to do that. It's just
12 that this type of service is so unique and
13 is very difficult to find the proper
14 applicant to do it. But that's our goal.
15 And the Parks Department alone will save
16 about a quarter of a million dollars when we
17 hire our own people. But because of the
18 urgency of it, we really didn't have the
19 time to go out and hire the people we need
20 to do about work.
21 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Any other
22 q u e s t i o n s ?
23 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: So it will
24 save money by having our own people do it?
25 MR. FOSKEY: Yes, we are going to
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
78 78
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 have our own in house. We've already
3 started that process also.
4 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: The janitorial
5 work is cleaning the bathrooms and --
6 MR. FOSKEY: Correct, stocking
7 the bathrooms, the parks, Old Bethpage
8 Village, various facilities, Eisenhower
9 P a r k .
10 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: And that will
11 be done at $12 an hour?
12 MR. FOSKEY: $12 an hour, where
13 BSI was I believe $16 to $18 an hour. So
14 they're going to save a quarter of a million
15 dollars the first year of the contract.
16 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: The times that
17 that's done, during the height of the season
18 t h a t - -
19 MR. FOSKEY: We control it. We
20 have them come out. In fact, at night,
21 they're at Lakeside, and it's same rate of
22 $12.50 an hour. We have them at the aquatic
23 center. They're through all the facilities.
24 And what we've done, we tell them when to
25 come there at our peak use.

3 administrations ago, they used to go every
4 half hour to the different -- rotate to the
5 bathrooms, put in new paper towels and mop
6 up, take the garbage out and just clean up
7 and every half hour they would come back and
8 redo it. Is that what they do now?
9 MR. FOSKEY: That's correct.
10 They don't schedule them. We schedule them
11 based on our events. Whether it's a concert
12 at Lakeside or whether it's something else
13 at one of our facilities. In the event,
14 including our soft balls, like at night
15 they're at Wantagh Park cleaning up.
16 They're getting the park ready for the next
17 day. That's what we're doing now with them.
18 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: The last
19 administration didn't do it and they locked
20 the bathrooms.
21 MR. FOSKEY: We lock the bathroom
22 I believe at 10 o'clock at night. That's

8 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Go ahead.
9 LEGISLATOR DUNNE: The
10 Environmental Bond Act, shouldn't we be

13 and replacing them, isn't that Environmental
14 Bond money that should be used for that?

16 funding for this work, but we have a county
17 capital project established for replacement
18 of underground and above ground field
19 storage tanks.

15 on call or as needed work at our water and
16 wastewater treatment facilities as well as
17 our pump stations. We received eight bids
18 for this contract. We are recommending Geo
19 Matrix services and HVAC System & Services.
20 They are a joint venture that bid on this
21 contract and we are recommending them for
22 this contract.

4 Commissioner Foskey.
5 MR. FOSKEY: Yes. This is a
6 marketing media service sponsorship in
7 naming rights agreement, wherein the county,
8 through a license, grants the licensee the
9 right to sell sponsorship rights, branding
10 rights, and place advertisements and outside
11 signage on and in connection with various
12 county owned assets and events in order that
13 the revenues received from such marketing
14 initiatives benefit the county and provide
15 enhanced public service messages to county
16 residents. The licensee will be responsible
17 to develop and manage the outdoor
18 advertisement portfolio for the assets of
19 Nassau County. The license will also be
20 tasked to coordinate all aspects of the
21 necessary approval process including
22 permitting negotiation of terms,
23 construction maintenance, revenue
24 collection, and advertisement approval
25 subject to the approval of departments in
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
87 87
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 accordance with the county's advertising
3 p o l i c i e s .
4 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Is this going
5 to be open to the public or just the county?
6 In other words, I assume one of these lit
7 signs, the message signs in front of Wantagh
8 Park and just for argument's sake the
9 Wantagh Civic Association wants to put a
10 message on there, can they do that?
11 MR. FOSKEY: The county reserves
12 15 percent of the usage of the sign up to a
13 maximum of 25 percent if it's not being used
14 for advertisement for PSA announcements,
15 c o r r e c t .
16 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Who approves
17 t h o s e ?
18 MR. FOSKEY: The commissioner of
19 parks, real estate, Carl Schroeder.
20 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Anybody have
21 any questions? Legislator Yatauro.
22 LEGISLATOR YATAURO: Is there

8 T h a n k y o u .
9 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: I have a
10 question. What amendment? Where did this
11 amendment come from?
12 MR. FOSKEY: I believe the county
13 attorney filed the amendment. On the
14 original calendar, it was calendared
15 improperly.
16 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: So it was
17 incorrect procedurally, they submitted an
18 ordinance instead of a resolution?
19 MR. FOSKEY: It was done
20 incorrectly by the county attorney in the
21 beginning, I believe, and they resubmitted
22 i t .
23 LEGISLATOR CIOTTI: So it was a
24 procedural error?
25 MR. FOSKEY: Correct.

8 MR. EISENSTEIN: Ed Eisenstein,
9 commissioner of IT, use services. I'm here
10 to talk about the SVAM contract, that is a
11 supplemental staffing vendor that has been
12 around since 2008. Last year there was no
13 money spent on this vendor. Originally when
14 these contracts were set up SVAM was one of
15 the vendors that received a $200,000
16 injection. That money has pretty much all
17 used so we are asking for additional monies
18 to that contract.
19 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Used for what?
20 MR. EISENSTEIN: Supplemental
21 staffing.
22 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: What kind of
23 supplemental staffing?
24 MR. EISENSTEIN: I was about to
25 talk about that. The particular vendor is
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
91 91
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 SVAM International and they brought in an
3 engineer named Derrick Wong who is a
4 specialist who worked apparently worked in
5 the county 20 or so years ago who invented
6 your NIFS (phonetic) system. His specialty
7 is now brought in through this vendor to
8 allow us to do data conversion for the
9 accounting replacement program. So it's a
10 very special niche thing and we were very
11 lucky to get this person who had worked on
12 the original system to help with us data
13 conversion.
14 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: He's the only
15 o n e ?
16 MR. EISENSTEIN: So far, yes.
17 There was one other supplemental staffing
18 vendor on staff currently, so there's two
19 out of all the vendors that are being used,
20 c o r r e c t .
21 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: There's two
22 out of this place or two out of everything?
23 MR. EISENSTEIN: Out of all six

11 services to the clients at the Methodone
12 Maintenance Clinic Program.
13 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Why isn't this
14 being done by the Public Benefit
15 Corporation?
16 MR. MINTZ: It was done by the
17 Public Benefit Corporation up until 2008.
18 It was decided to go out to bid because the
19 prices that they were charging the county
20 were very high. They bidded it three years
21 ago and again they were higher. They came
22 in at a bid of $338,000 versus the existing
23 company at $189,000.
24 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Since they are
25 a preferred vendor in this county, was there
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
95 95
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 any opportunity given to them to come down

6 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: It either was
7 or it wasn't.
8 MR. MINTZ: They were not given
9 another opportunity, no.

11 be given another opportunity? Did they bid

REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353

4 MR. MINTZ: I didn't know we were
5 allowed to.
6 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: Well, we
7 uncovered, at the beginning of the year,
8 that they are a preferred vendor.
9 MR. MINTZ: I was not aware of
10 t h a t .
11 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: If we table
12 this, what effect does it have on you?

8 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: Hold on. I
9 just want to ask. I have a few things to
10 say. First place, I want to say that Lisa
11 Murphy has been extremely helpful. I worked
12 with her on a few issues and she has been
13 very knowledgeable in what she's doing.
14 I think one of the questions I
15 have just at this time, each of these
16 positions of commissioner has to have a
17 certain amount of degree or whatever degrees
18 that the person has. I just want to be
19 certain that she's --
20 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: That's not
21 true. The position of commissioner is an
22 exempt position and its main qualification
23 with certain exemptions, such as county
24 attorney, who has to be an attorney or
25 things of that nature, but the main
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
110 110
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 qualification is appointment by the county
3 e x e c u t i v e .
4 LEGISLATOR JACOBS: Okay.
5 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: And all of
6 these people will be at the Full Legislative
7 meeting on August the 1st. Any other debate

19 LEGISLATOR BOSWORTH: Can I just?
20 I agree with Legislator Jacobs. Ms. Murphy
21 has been doing a fine job. I think the
22 question comes up in terms of the
23 credentials to qualify and I understand what
24 you're saying about the fact that it's at
25 the pleasure of the county executive, but
REGAL REPORTING SERVICE (516 ) 747 -7353
111 111
1 R u l e s Committee / 7 - 2 5 - 1 1
2 one of the concerns is that there are people
3 that have to have certain degrees that
4 she'll be supervising and she doesn't have
5 the same credentials as those that she will
6 be supervising. Just wanted to bring that
7 up if that's an issue or a concern.
8 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: I'll tell you
9 why it's not. Before I came here, I was
10 commissioner of community services in the
11 Town of Oyster Bay. That had five divisions
12 in it, one of which a handicapped services
13 division, and in order to qualify for the
14 title of superintendent of the handicapped
15 services position, you had to have a CESW or
16 some initials after your name, which I
17 didn't have, and I didn't have any trouble
18 supervising the person that was in that
19 position.
20 LEGISLATOR BOSWORTH: It was just
21 a question that I have heard asked.
22 CHAIRMAN SCHMITT: This is a
23 resolution to confirm the county executive's
24 appointment of John D. Fowle as director of
25 probation pursuant to Section 256 of the
