Resident Jeremy Baratta came up to speak next. He spoke about the trouble of late he's had stemming from his appoint- ment on January 13, 2017 to the Historic Preservation Commis- sion. "On January 18, 2017 I received a letter to sign forms. I then received a letter stating that my term has been suspend- ed. Only the City Council can remove a Commissioner off the HPC. My being on the handi- capped parking committee does not make me ineligible to be on the HPC and I would like to be reinstated." He also mentioned 2 other HPC Members: Eleni Glykis and Anna Daily. "They should also be ineligible based on what was told to me regarding my suspension. Daily is on the Board of Trustees of the Library Board and Glykis is Library Di- rector." Law Director Peter King re- sponded, "All Members of the HPC must meet qualifications." Baratta responded, "I've heard about this for a month from Mr. King." Chair of the Historic Preserva- tion Commission Reinaldo Aviles came up to speak about Baratta's plight. "I have issues on how this was handled. I didn't know about this (Barat- ta's letter of suspension) until I saw Elaine Jasko (City Clerk) about a different matter and she told me. As the chair of the HPC, I should have been noti- fied first." Jose Amarante who is a mem- ber of the Zoning Board of Ad- justment stated that he had tak- en all of the required classes and was sworn in by a Clerk in the City Office but would like to get a signed copy of the oath. Resident Mark Achamizo was concerned about the large amount of drunk people on Smith Street between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. "Rector Street is a disaster (part of the street) and I don't drive a jalopy." During the Council Com- ments, Councilman Joel Pabon said, "I talked to the Mayor on how you can be unaware of what's going on in town. I road by the Patten School and it's crazy. Cars are double-parked when school is let out. We need to do something to alleviate traffic during that time. The cars even block people's driveways." Council President Bill Petrick then spoke, "There will be a traffic jam when the Seaman Street School is built by the fire- house/police station. It will be a dangerous situation just like at the Patten School. The BOE Ad- ministration Building would have been better suited there and Sayre Avenue for the school."

It is so hard to believe we are still enmeshed in this pandemic, struggling to survive against all odds. As New York enters Phase 4, Museums, along with other indoor facilities, remain in lock down mode. Ready to get the go ahead, under the “new norm rules”, we have also received many requests for our seasonal lighthouse boat tours, but unfortunately each one - most recently our famed Signature- Ambrose Channel Tour, scheduled for Lighthouse Weekend - August 9th., had to be cancelled. Notwithstanding, we are proud to announce that despite our Museum closure back in mid-March, we have accomplished some exciting on- line/ virtual public programs: Two Zoom lectures -“Lights, Camera, Action - tips on photographing a Lighthouse!” with special thanks to Todd Vorenkamp -“The Union Blockade during the American Civil War” - with a big thanks to our lecturer, Wade R.Goria, featured in a three-hour series, thanks to the generosity of cinematographer, Jon Roche, Oliver Anderson, 2nd Camera, and editor, Daniel Amigone Twelve” Lighthouse of the Week” virtual Tuesday presentations, with a special thanks to Kraig Anderson creator of lighthousefriends.com and coordinated by Jean Coombs.
