He requested a Moment of Silence in memory of all those who lost their lives in the aftermath of the World Trade Center attack on 9/11/2001. He thanked everyone who participated in Sunday afternoon’s prayer service and ceremony in the Memorial Garden in Forest Park to honor the memory of all of the local residents and first responders who died as a result of the attack on September 11th, 2001. And, he encouraged all present to attend the Candlelight Vigil Service tomorrow night in Juniper Valley Park in Middle Village, from 7pm to 8pm. The Board Chairman recognized all of the local elected officials and their representatives who were present, and invited them to address the Board. State Senator Joseph Addabbo said that he met recently with Mayor Bill de Blasio and expressed his opposition and concerns about the proposed homeless shelter at 78-16 Cooper Avenue, in Glendale. He said that they had a lengthy discussion of this issue and agreed to meet again about it. He said that he supports the community’s request to build a public school at this site, provided it meets the School Construction Authority’s criteria for siting a new school campus. Regarding upcoming events that his office is sponsoring, he said that TJ Maxx will be hosting a job fair in Atlas Park on September 16th through September 18th, next Tuesday through Thursday. He also announced that he and Assemblyman Mike Miller will co-sponsor their semi-annual Electronic Recycling Event in the Band Shell Parking Lot in Forest Park from 10am to 2pm on Sunday, September 28th, 2014. He welcomed everyone to participate in this event. NYC Council Member Antonio Reynoso said he has been working to preserve affordable housing units in Ridgewood. He said that he recently obtained a firm commitment from the developer of the proposed housing development, on Woodward Avenue between Starr and Troutman Street, to rent at least 50% of the apartments at affordable rates, for eligible local residents with annual incomes ranging from $23,000 to $105,000. Rents for the remaining units will be set at market rates, he said. The Council Member congratulated the Parks Committee for their strong advocacy in favor of creating a nature preserve in the Ridgewood Reservoir. Council Member Reynoso announced that this year, Council Members will allocate at least $1 million in discretionary capital funding to be decided upon by district residents. He said that this year, he is one of 24 Council Members who will hold participatory budgeting sessions to give the community real decision-making power over more than $25 million in taxpayer money. He welcomed constituents to attend a brainstorming session on project ideas in the Greater Ridgewood Youth Council Center at 59-03 Summerfield Street at 6:30pm on September 25th, 2014. In addition, he said that he has secured funding for the Myrtle Avenue Business Improvement District, and an anti- graffiti campaign in the Board 5 area. On behalf of Council Member Elizabeth Crowley, Roman Paprocki announced that the Council Member has secured $2.5 Million in funding this year for the rehabilitation of the Soccer Field and Track in Juniper Valley Park. He said that the project will be completed in stages. Replacement of the running track is included in Phase I, and Phase II will include the rehabilitation of the Soccer Field, he said. In addition, Mr. Paprocki announced that Council Member Crowley secured $3 Million in funding to rehabilitate the ball fields and running track in Francis J. Principe Park, on Maurice Avenue in Maspeth. He said that due to poor drainage in the ball fields, there are huge ponding conditions in the middle of the playing fields whenever it rains. He said that the project plans include 2 new ball fields, a soccer field with a running track around the perimeter of the park, and additional holding tanks to store rainwater runoff from the fields. He also announced that Council Member Crowley is sponsoring a Free Tree Giveaway from 1:30pm to 3:30pm on Saturday, October 4th, 2014, in the parking lot of Maspeth Federal Savings Bank on Grand Avenue at 69 Street. On behalf of Congresswoman Meng, Jordan Goldes said that the Congresswoman sponsored legislation to increase both criminal and civil penalties for desecrating of cemeteries, including headstones. He said that their office is also 3 Minutes of CB5Q Board Meeting on Sept. 10, 2014 working to pass legislation that would crack down on con-artists and unscrupulous telemarketers for “spoofing,” displaying bogus names and numbers on caller IDs that trick millions of Americans into answering their phones or replying to text messages. On behalf of State Assemblywoman Catherine Nolan, David Aglialoro thanked everyone for their support in advocating for the Ridgewood Reservoir to remain a nature preserve. On behalf of State Assemblyman Mike Miller, David Renz announced that the American Italian Foundation’s Mammogram Mobile will be stationed in front of their office at 83-91 Woodhaven Boulevard in Woodhaven, from 9 am to 4pm on Sunday, October 19th, 2014. He said that no appointments are required. Flyers were distributed. On behalf of Queens Borough President Melinda Katz, Catherine Moore announced that October is Domestic Violence Awareness month. She said that the Borough President plans to sponsor several workshops on this topic next month. She welcomed anyone interested to attend. The Board Chairman announced the first Item on the Board Agenda as: PUBLIC HEARING – Re: Fiscal Year 2015 Budget of the City of New York as it affects communities in District 5, Queens Brian Dooley, Board member and president of Glendale Property Owners Association, stressed the need to improve the sewer system in Eastern Glendale. He said that many of the homes on both sides of 77 Avenue, from 80 Street to 88 Street, experienced basement flooding during heavy rainfalls. He urged Board members to consider this one of their top priorities in the capital budget, since there are no current plans to increase the capacity of the combined sewer system in Glendale. He said that, for instance, a new sewer main is needed on Edsall Avenue between 71 Place and 73 Street, where rain water constantly floods over the entire roadway. Mr. Dooley commented that if the proposed homeless shelter on Cooper Avenue is ever approved by the City, it would certainly require a lot more city services be provided in Glendale, including a major expansion of the sewer infrastructure. As there were no other speakers, the Board Chairman gave the floor to District Manager Gary Giordano who reported on the status of two major sewer and water main replacement projects that are slated to begin between this Fall and next Spring. The District Manager said that this Fall, work is expected to begin on a $20+ Million project to replace the combined sewer and corner catch basins along Calamus Avenue, and adjoining streets, between 69 Street and 74 Street in Elmhurst. He said that this project also includes installation of a 5 foot by 8 foot concrete box sewer in 69 Street, from Calamus Avenue to 47 Avenue. Regarding the Penelope Avenue Sewer Replacement Project, the District Manager also said that work is expected to begin next Spring, replacing existing sewer lines with new sewer mains with increased capacity along Penelope Avenue and Juniper Valley Road, and adjoining streets, between 71 Street and 77 Street in Middle Village. He said that this project should alleviate the severe street and basement flooding that has occurred after heavy rainfall in this section of Middle Village. Regarding the sewer mains in Eastern Glendale, the District Manager reported that undertaking a major capital improvement in this section of Glendale requires further study, because the sewer mains connect and flow into three separate sewer systems, with each one flowing in a different direction.

Photograph by Michael Feller. September 2007 Recommendations for the Transfer of City-Owned Properties Containing Wetlands PREFACE The members of the Wetlands Transfer Task Force commend Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, the New York City Council, the Council’s Environmental Protection Committee and Committee Chair, Councilman James F. Gennaro for recognizing the importance of protecting the City’s remaining wetlands. Wetlands have a tremendous capacity to prevent flooding, reduce storm surges and improve downstream water quality. They protect and nurture our wildlife heritage – including globally significant birds and fisheries. Wetlands are also a vital and often beautiful element of the City’s rivers and estuaries, places for young and old to recreate, experience nature, and relax. Through Local Law 83, the multi-agency Wetlands Transfer Task Force (Task Force) was set up to inventory available City-owned properties containing wetlands and to make recommendations regarding their potential transfer to NYC Department of Parks & Recreation (DPR) or other agencies for protection from urban development.

With only two weeks remaining, the Tax Department is highlighting the free filing resources available online and at locations around the state. “It’s crunch time for taxpayers who’ve waited until now to start thinking about filing their income tax returns, but not time to panic,” said New York State Taxpayer Rights Advocate Margaret Neri. “The Tax Department has plenty of free and convenient resources to help file an accurate return on time and receive any refunds due promptly.
