At a press conference at Mr. Eckels home on Tuesday, Supervisor Murray called upon the Town of Hempstead’s federal delegation – Congressional rep- resentatives Carolyn McCarthy, Peter King and Gregory Meeks, as well as New York’s United States Senators Charles Schumer and Kristen Gillibrand – to sponsor legislation in Washington that would waive penalty fees for pre- mature IRA withdrawal for homeown- ers seeking to make house repairs in the wake of Sandy. Supervisor Murray said the proposed legislation would also strike down pre- mature withdrawal penalties on other deferred payment investments such as 401K plans. “We have a responsibility to help our homeowners,” said Supervisor Murray. “That is what we do and as issues arise we, in government, must address them to help people.” Supervisor Murray said a letter was sent to federal legislators asking for their assistance. “Long Island has a long road to recovery ahead as a result of superstorm Sandy’s devastating landfall here over a month ago.

Although FEMA is administering reimbursements to pay for some dam- age expenses as well as administering the STEP Home Repair Program, homeowners and businesses may need to initially lay out money for the cost of necessary repairs. At the same time, many Americans have money invested in Individual Retirement Accounts and other deferred payment investments. However, penalties are imposed for premature withdrawal. Under these dire circumstances residents need access to their capital without penalty, said Supervisor Murray. For example, if a homeowner needs access to money for a new roof, they would pay a 10% penalty for withdraw- ing the needed funds form their IRA. Some financial institutions also charge a $40 administrative penalty fee as well. “People are hurting financially. No one anticipated the destruction and the costs involved to save their home,” said Councilman Santino. “This is a commonsense solution to help people put their lives together. Supervisor Murray and Councilman Santino are also asking federal legisla- tors to consider a measure that would implement five-year income averaging for income tax purposes.

Will federal officials sponsor and endorse such legislation? “I spoke with Congressman King this morning and he is on board,” said Supervisor Murray. Town spokesman Mike Deery said federal officials are “looking into it.” “Senator Schumer is currently work- ing on a number of ways to help those devastated by superstorm Sandy and that includes ways to allow them to reduce their tax burden,” said a pre- pared statement from the Senator’s office.

Seeking penalty-free access to investment fundsby Laura Schofer

Keith Eckels stood in the living roomof his two-story house on BarnesAvenue in Baldwin. Brand new sheetrock had replaced the water-soakedwalls damaged by superstorm Sandy.

“It’s a good beginning,” said Mr.Eckels, but more needs to be done, muchmore. “My contractor said it will cost$125,000 to repair the damage and thatdoesn’t include the contents,” he said.

Freeport honors some of its young volunteersby Linda Delmonico Prussen

With a short agenda, no public com-ment and a prompt start, it appearedMonday night’s meeting of the Freeportvillage board might move quickly.Attempts to derail the meeting withquestions that did not pertain to agendaitems were succinctly deflected by bothMayor Andrew Hardwick and the Boardof Trustees as all attempted to handle thebusiness at hand. The business at handwas, as expected, dominated by Sandyrecovery agenda items.

Honoring the Girl ScoutsA heartwarming pinning ceremony

took place as Brownie Troop 2207, andCadet Group 2003 were honored for theirvolunteer efforts during the initial recov-ery phase of superstorm Sandy.

Appliance Replacement RebateProgram

A motion was passed to approve thedisbursement of $250,000 in rebatemonies to go to residents who had toreplace certain appliances due to damagesuffered during superstorm Sandy.

The board explained that each residentforced to replace certain appliances couldbe eligible for a $100 rebate in the formof a credit on their electric bill. Detailson how to apply for the rebate, and alldocumentation required, should be foundin the coming month’s electric bill.

Structural permit fees waivedA motion was passed to waive structural

permit fees associated with repairs relatedto superstorm Sandy. Trustee Carmen J.

Pineyro confirmed that those who alreadypaid those fees would be reimbursed.

Motions to replaceA motion was passed authorizing the

issuance of up to $1,400,000 in serialbonds to finance the cost of the replace-ment of motor vehicles and equipmentincurred from superstorm Sandy and arequest that the village clerk publish thenotice in The Leader.

A motion was also passed to adver-tise a notice to bidders for furnishing twonew latest model six-wheel trucks withten foot combination dump body andspreaders in The Leader on December 6,with a return date of December 17.Trustee Robert T.

Taking concrete steps Of all the possible options for protecting New York

City from another Sandy-type hurricane or worse,Professor Malcolm Bowman from the Marine SciencesResearch Center of Stony Brook University, thinks themost promising is a project by engineers from TheHalcrow Group called the New York-New JerseyOuter Harbor Gateway, five miles of causeways, tun-nels and sea gates from Sandy Hook in New Jersey tothe Rockaways in Queens.

He prefers it to a sea wall constructed under theVerrazano Bridge that, he notes, would not protectStaten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, Breezy Point (the“Irish Riviera”) or JFK Airport. Also, the plantakes advantage of shallow waters except for theshipping channels, making construction easier.Gates would close the shipping channels in theevent of a storm surge.

Professor Bowman also envisions a four-lanehighway and a rapid-rail connection between north-ern New Jersey and Long Island, bypassingManhattan and connecting to JFK Airport. Tollscould help pay for it, he says.

The first step is an initiative from New York City,spearheaded by U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, whoasks Congress to fund a U.S. Army Corps of Engineersto study the pros and cons of the locations of storm-surge barriers. There would be “no concrete nextweek,” as Professor Bowman points out. All aspects ofany project would need to be taken into consideration,including the need to study barrier beaches, flood geol-ogy, water quality, fish environment, social justice, etc.

Regarding sewage, the Hudson has to flow out, soinvesting in water quality studies, fisheries and ecolo-gy needs to be done, among the oceanography work.

The proposed causeway is a “major politicalchallenge” as Professor Bowman points out,because three states, large cities, boroughs andcounties all would have to work together. But it iscertainly something to consider. Katrina has beencalled a social – not a natural – disaster becauselevee work was not done. Can the same be said forSandy or some future as-yet unnamed storm if wedon’t start work on storm surge barriers?

Sanitary District 2 vote December 12Residents in Baldwin, Roosevelt

and South Hempstead will go to thepolls on Tuesday, December 12 todecide whether to dissolve SanitaryDistrict 2.

Voting will take place between thehours of 2-10 p.m. If you live inBaldwin, go to Sanitary District 2headquarters at 2080 Grand Avenue tovote; in Roosevelt, residents may voteat Queen of the Most Holy Rosary andin South Hempstead residents mayvote at Covert School.

Sanitary District 2 is a special tax-ing district, which serves Baldwin,Roosevelt and South Hempstead andprovides refuse service to approxi-mately 55,000 people. It employs 80people.

Opponents of Sanitary District 2say the dissolution of this special dis-trict will save taxpayers hundreds ofdollars a year. According to calcula-tions done by the Long IslandProgressive Coalition, an advocate ofdissolution, residents and businessesof Sanitary District 2 pay $221.07 and$1,079.32, respectively, which ismore than their counterparts served bythe Town of Hempstead SanitationDepartment.

In a previous article in The LeaderLaura Mallay, executive director ofResidents for Efficient SpecialDistricts (ResD), said she believes ifthe public votes to dissolve the dis-trict, residents will pay less for refuseservice under the auspices of theTown of Hempstead.

But a letter to residents, found on

the Sanitary District 2 website, refutesthis assumption, calling the data“faulty and misleading. The claim thatthe workers of Sanitary District No. 2,most of whom are your neighbors,would not lose their jobs is alsountrue.” Furthermore, “Their asser-tion that the Town of Hempsteadwould automatically provide munici-pal collections and the same service isagain false.”

David Segal, a communicationscoordinator for the Long IslandProgressive Coalition, another groupthat supports the consolidation of spe-cial taxing districts, said “We don’texpect a need for duplicated adminis-trative services but we will need justas many workers picking up thegarbage as before.”

What does the Town of Hempsteadhave to say?

“The referendum on the dissolutionof Sanitary District 2 has nothing todo with the Town of Hempstead. It isa referendum under which residentsserved by that district can decidewhether or not they would like to seethe district dissolved. I feel stronglythat this referendum should be aboutthe will of the people and not theopinion of any elected official outsideof the district,” said Hempstead TownSupervisor Kate Murray.

“A vote on the dissolution of thedistrict does not determine whichentity may provide sanitary service toresidents served by that district in thefuture. This is an issue that must bedecided by members of the Sanitary

District 2 Board as provided for byNew York State law. They alonewould develop a plan that woulddetermine how service would be pro-vided going forward.”

Ms. Mallay did not return TheLeader’s request for an interviewprior to press time. However, in testi-mony before the New York StateCommission on Local GovernmentEfficiency and Competitiveness [July2007], she said, “It is apparent to usthat many of our local-level politicansare neither willing nor able to standup against the special taxing districtsthat have for far too long been the

economic engine that drives local pol-itics. We want one town sanitationdistrict with one tax rate for all resi-dents.”

But Sanitary District 2 officialsurged people to think carefully aboutthe dissolution. “Sanitary District No.2 has provided communities ofRoosevelt, Baldwin and SouthHempstead with dependable collec-tion service and more for the past 82years...” reads the letter. “The prob-lem of high taxes on Long Island doesnot start with Sanitary District No. 2.”

6 FEMA administrator in FreeportPresident Barack Obama sent William

C. Fugate, Federal EmergencyManagement Agency (FEMA) director,to meet in Mayor Andrew Hardwick’soffice to discuss Freeport’s immediateand long-term Superstorm Sandy recov-ery needs.

During this meeting, Mayor Hardwickemphasized the urgent need to elevatethe homes, businesses, utilities, androadways located in south Freeport. Healso conveyed that financial assistance isabsolutely necessary to support hisefforts to accomplish this goal.

In just under three hours, expert rec-ommendations from various village andcounty representatives, includingCounty Executive Ed Mangano, werediscussed regarding significantupgrades to the infrastructure of targetedareas. Mayor Hardwick stated that somerecommendations will be consideredand possibly utilized during the village’srecovery planning stages.

Mayor Hardwick also signed a con-tract between Freeport and the federalgovernment to establish and operate afull service FEMA SatelliteHeadquarters in the FreeportRecreation Center at 130 East MerrickRoad in Freeport between the hours of8 a.m.-6 p.m. This will enable Freeportconstituents and its neighbors to haveconvenient access to all availableFEMA resource materials.

To support the satellite headquarters,Mayor Hardwick’s request to providesupply storage space and respite livingaccommodations by reopening theFreeport Armory is currently beingconsidered.

In addition to FEMA, representativesfrom major insurance companies willalso be stationed. A designated helpdesk will continue to be available toaccess important information regardingall of the no/low-cost disaster reliefresources in Freeport.

Viewpoint: Elevate, elevateby Chris McBride

Elevate, elevate, elevate, sang MayorAndrew Hardwick of Freeport, serenad-ing county, state and federal officialstoday for funds to rebuild Freeport’sbattered shoreline community. Top advi-sors to the mayor’s cabinet, includingTrustee Carmen Pinyero, Freeport FireDepartment ex-Chief RaymondMaguire, Freeport Director of DisasterRelief Services Past Judge CherylClarke, Police Chief Miguel Bermudezand several others, greeted CountyExecutive Edward Mangano, state coor-dinating official Jerome Hauer andnational FEMA Administrator CraigFugate to discuss funding for Freeport.A plan is being developed and help is onthe way.

Housing and roadway elevation, aswell as implementing new drainage sys-tems to compensate for high tides, arekey topics of discussion. How and whenwill economic support for flood preven-tion get to Freeport? The initial questionis: Can the National Flood InsuranceProgram (NFIP) be effective to bringFreeport residents relief?

Mayor Hardwick is seeking at least abillion federal dollars for the purpose ofraising houses and roads. But only $4billion of national disaster relief hasbeen earmarked to undo the effects ofsuperstorm Sandy so far, although thetargeted funds will probably come invarious forms from multiple sources.

Funds to reimburse communities for

money spent on aftereffects of the disas-ter may be 100% refundable in such pro-portions as somewhere between 75%federal and 25% state to 90% federaland 10% state. Such expenses as debrisremoval, cleanup equipment, expandedcrews and overtime, safety equipmentand staff plus the effects of lost revenuefrom village facilities like the FreeportRecreation Center, which has become ahub of relief for storm victims. Familiesthat are already faced with high mort-gages and employment challengesstruggle to overcome the severe dam-ages caused by record high flooding.But economic assistance will be forth-coming.

Comprehensive analysis and prioriti-zation of low elevation zones to developsolid long term plans will be recognizedseriously and are more likely to be givengrants. Dedicating national communityrehabilitation funds for investing indamaged communities has to demon-strate long-term effectiveness and howsuch economic support can help torestore them. Communities must onceagain be able to become thriving com-munities which will grow and self gen-erate revenue in years to come.Incorporating potential parks and greenspaces into the plan can also boostfuture attractiveness to restored commu-nities. The best results come fromrestoring entire blocks, not a checker-board of a good house here and there,

McCarthysaid. “We stand ready to help and aredetermined to make sure we bounceback from Sandy as quickly as possi-ble.”

According to FEMA, the PublicAssistance (PA) Program “provides sup-plemental Federal disaster grant assis-tance for debris removal, emergencyprotective measures, and the repair,replacement, or restoration of disaster-damaged, publicly owned facilities andthe facilities of certain Private Non-Profit (PNP) organizations. The PAProgram also encourages protection ofthese damaged facilities from futureevents by providing assistance for haz-ard mitigation measures during therecovery process.”

8 Parkway, Jones Beach to get repairsTwo northernmost lanes of Ocean

Parkway were opened last week to east-west traffic for the first time since super-storm Sandy destroyed dunes, exposingthe roadway.

Over 19,000 cars use Ocean Parkwayeach day, remarked state SenatorCharles J. Fuschillo Jr. in an interviewwith The Leader, and those cars werererouted to Sunrise Highway andMerrick Road, creating lengthy trafficjams.

The senator also spoke of plans torebuild the Jones Beach boardwalk that,in many sections, was nearly demol-ished by the superstorm.

Speaking from Roosevelt, where hehad been handing out Thanksgivingturkeys, he said several sections of theJones Beach boardwalk had been deci-mated while others remained intact.

“It’s not safe to be on,” he remarked.“There are several missing sections andalso sections that have been raised [lift-ed up],” he continued.

“State crews have salvaged a lot of thewood from the boardwalk” that can beused to help rebuild it, he said. Thewood used is Brazilian rosewood.

He added that officials have a lot ofwork to do in “testing the pilings” tomeasure their strength to rebuild on, orreplace.

He said bids by the state Office ofGeneral Services were expected to becompleted by this week or early next,and then work to begin shortly thereafterrepairing the damages done to rebuildthe boardwalk.

“We hope to have the boardwalk com-pleted by mid-spring,” he said.

Residents have been seen walking onthe beach and looking around, he said,

and it is safe to go the beach. BothWantagh Parkway and MeadowbrookParkway are open into the the beachareas once more.

Ocean ParkwayRegarding Ocean Drive, he noted that

state officials are keen to get it openagain as quickly as possible. “There are19,000 cars that use that parkway eachworkday,” he said.

He had noticed an increased volumeof traffic on both Sunrise Highway andMerrick Road heading west in the morn-ing and east in the evening due to theclosure of Ocean Parkway, and the needfor residents to use those roads in theface of the parkway’s closure.

“The southernmost road east of theJones Beach Tower is closed,” he said,but he has seen crews putting in topcurbs.

Senator Fuschillo offered no timetableas to when the full four-to-six lane high-way would reopen for traffic.

U.S. Senator Schumer offers assistanceMeanwhile, U.S. Senator Charles E.

Schumer called on federal agencies towork together to coordinate an effort torebuild the damaged portions of OceanParkway and its surrounding infrastruc-ture.

In in news release, the senator saidOcean Parkway had sustained severedamage from Superstorm Sandy, as didRobert Moses Beach, Gilgo Beach andthe water tower roundabout.

He said that the reconstruction of theroadway – along with a new layer ofprotections, could be eligible for tens ofmillions of federal disaster dollars from

the Federal Emergency ManagementAgency (FEMA), the Federal HighwayAdministration (FHA) and the ArmyCorps of Engineers.

The senator called on the three agen-cies to work together and explore thepossibilities for funding a stronger ver-sion of the Ocean Parkway that couldbetter withstand future storms.

Federal experts say rebuilding OceanParkway could be paid for with funds fromthe Department of Transportation’s FederalHighway Emergency Relief program. At thesame time funds from the Army Corp’s FloodControl and Coastal Emergency program andFEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund could be usedto protect the road by either raising the roaditself or replenishing the dunes and beach infront of it.

The necessary sand for those projectscould come from the Fire Island Inlet, an a v i g a t i o nchannel badlyin need ofdredging. Byc o m p l e t i n gthese criticalprojects at onetime – rebuild-ing andstrengtheningO c e a nP a r k w a y ,rep len ish ingthe protectivedunes, anddredging FireIsland Inlet –would allowthe agencies tobetter leveragef e d e r a l

resources and complete the projects inan expedited fashion.

“This is a way to rebuild OceanParkway – a jewel in Long Island’scrown of beautiful places – strongerthan it was before, without putting thefinancial burden solely on the residentsthat live around it,” said SenatorSchumer.

“By combining federal resources fromthree different agencies, we can com-plete this project quickly, effectively,and efficiently. It will require coordina-tion and common sense on the part ofFEMA, the Army Corps and the DOT toaccess existing federal funds that can beput to work now to restore this devastat-ed and vital roadway.”
