[Additional Item 3]

[5. Public Comment]

CHAPTER 165 OF THE TOWN OF THE TOWN CODE REMAINS THE GOVERNING STANDARD FOR MANUFACTURED HOME PARKS IN HAMBURG AND NEW YORK. REAL PROPERTY LAW TWO, THREE, THREE STILL REQUIRES SAFE ACCESS AND PROPERLY MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE. ONE OF OUR REQUESTS INVOLVES A TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OR CONDITIONAL LICENSE, NOT REVOCATION. I KNOW THAT'S THE NAME OF THE RESOLUTION. WE ARE NOT ASKING THE TOWN TO REMOVE RESIDENTS FROM THEIR HOMES. WE ARE ASKING THE TOWN TO REQUIRE COMPLIANCE WITH HEALTH AND SAFETY STANDARDS ALREADY WRITTEN INTO ITS OWN CODE, SO RESIDENTS CAN REMAIN SAFELY WHERE THEY LIVE. WE NEED THE TOWN'S HELP. AN ESTIMATED 1600 TO 2400 HAMBURG RESIDENTS LIVE WITHIN MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITIES, AS A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THIS TOWN'S POPULATION, AND WE FEEL THAT WE

[00:30:03]

PLEASE STOP CONSIDERING US PRIVATE PROPERTY AND GIVING US THE EXCUSE, WELL, IT'S PRIVATE PROPERTY. WE CAN'T DO NOTHING. WE ARE A COMMUNITY. WE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A COMMUNITY AND PART OF HAMBURG, NOT BILLIONAIRES THAT LIVE IN MICHIGAN. THEM GETTING RIGHTS OVER OUR OWN CITIZENS HERE IN HAMBURG. RIGHT NOW, RESIDENTS ARE DEALING WITH DETERRING DETERIORATING INTERNAL ROADS, A STRUCTURALLY COMPROMISED BRIDGE. AND I KNOW THAT THE SUBMISSION FOR THE BRIDGE PLAN HAS BEEN SUBMITTED, AND I HOPE THAT GETS HELD UP UNTIL OUR EMERGENCY EXIT IN THE BACK IS TAKEN CARE OF. AND ONE OF THE OTHER RESOLUTIONS WE PROPOSE IS GETTING RID OF THAT GATE. THAT GATE DOES NOTHING EXCEPT FOR VIOLATE LAWS, BECAUSE EVERY RESIDENT WHO LIVES IN THE BACK PARK NEEDS TWO POINTS OF INGRESS AND EGRESS OUT OF THE OUT OF THE PARK. THEY ONLY HAVE ONE ACROSS THE BRIDGE, THAT GATE BEING LOCKED 24 SEVEN, WHICH WAS PUT UP IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN BROOK GARDENS AND EAGLE CREST, WAS TO BLOCK KIDS COMING FROM EACH PARK, CAUSING DAMAGE AND EVERYTHING ELSE TO THE PARKS. THEY GO AROUND IT, THEY CLIMB OVER IT, THEY GO AROUND. IT SERVES NO PURPOSE EXCEPT TO BLOCK IT.

PLUS, THE ROAD IS INADEQUATE FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES SUCH AS FIRE ENGINES, SCHOOL BUSSES, AMBULANCES TO GO ACROSS IT. IT NEEDS TO BE TWO LANES FOR TWO WAY TRAFFIC AND A TREE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN DOWN AND THAT GATE NEEDS TO GO. WE DO NOT WANT TO HAVE A DEATH ON OUR HANDS DURING AN EMERGENCY. WE JUST HAD A VERY GOOD RUN THROUGH WITH THAT FLOODING THAT HAPPENED A WEEK AGO, WHERE IF THAT BRIDGE ALMOST CRESTED OVER, IF IT DID, AND SOMEONE NEEDED A FIRE TRUCK OR AN AMBULANCE, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO WAY TO GET TO IT. THE PEOPLE WHO HAD THE KEYS COULDN'T GET TO IT. I HAD TO CALL THE TOWN SUPERVISOR AND SHE CALLED THE FIRE CHIEF, WHO I WANT TO ALSO THANK FOR THIS. CUT THE LOCK OFF THERE. I EVEN ASKED IF I COULD BE AUTHORIZED TO GO SMASH THE LOCK OFF MYSELF, BECAUSE I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE SOMEONE DIE ON MY WATCH, IN MY PARK, IN MY COMMUNITY, BECAUSE SOMEONE CAN'T FIGURE OUT THAT THERE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A GATE BLOCKING AN EMERGENCY. WE'RE ALSO REQUESTING THE ASSISTANCE OF AN INSPECTOR. WE'RE LOOKING AT A FEW OF THE FAMOUS INSPECTORS TO REVIEW CONDITIONS IN THE PARK, SO THERE CAN BE CLEAR AND INDEPENDENT EVALUATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH TOWN STANDARDS AND STATE STANDARDS. AND AGAIN, TOO OFTEN RESIDENTS ARE TOLD IT'S PRIVATE PROPERTY, BUT WE ARE NOT PRIVATE PROPERTY. WE ARE A COMMUNITY. YES, THE LAND IS OWNED BY A CORPORATION, BUT WE OWN OUR HOMES AND WE ARE NOT BEING TAKEN CARE OF IN OUR PARK.

WE ARE NOT HAVING OUR HEALTH AND SAFETY LOOKED AT. WE'RE. WE'D LIKE TO RESPECTFULLY ASK THE TOWN BOARD TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THE RESOLUTIONS, AND WE'D LIKE TO EXTEND AN OPEN INVITATION TO EVERY MEMBER OF THE TOWN BOARD TO VISIT EAGLECREST, COME SEE THE ROADS, COME SEE THE BRIDGE, SEE THE LIGHTING CONDITIONS. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE STREET LIGHTS IN OUR PARK. WE HAVE A LEGAL. WE HAVE LAMPS IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE THAT ARE ILLEGALLY HOOKED UP TO OUR HOMES INDIVIDUALLY, THAT AREN'T EVEN HOOKED UP TO BREAKER BOXES. THEY'RE HOOKED UP DIRECTLY TO THE METER. WE'RE PAYING EAGLECREST ELECTRIC BILL. WE BELIEVE SEEING THESE CONDITIONS FIRSTHAND WILL HELP EVERYONE BETTER UNDERSTAND THE URGENCY OF THESE CONDITIONS.

WE'RE ASKING FOR PARTNERSHIP. WE'RE ASKING FOR ENFORCEMENT OF THE STANDARDS ALREADY ON THE BOOKS, AND WE ARE ASKING TO BE TREATED WITH THE SAME RESPECT AS EVERY OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD IN HAMBURG. FOR THE TOWN STAND WITH ITS RESIDENTS OR WITH AN OUT OF STATE CORPORATE OWNER WHEN SAFETY STANDARDS ARE NOT BEING MET. WE HOPE THE ANSWER IS CLEAR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, YOUR LEADERSHIP, AND YOUR CONTINUED ATTENTION TO THE SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. THANKS, DIANE. THANK YOU. MR. WALTERS. THIS IS MR. WALTERS. ALL RIGHT. GOT MY GLASSES ON HERE. HI, I'M GARY WALTERS FROM EAGLECREST. ALSO, I'M RAISING A SAFETY CONCERN.

[00:35:01]

WE TOOK. THERE WAS A PICTURE WAS TAKEN OF IT. IT BLOCKS THE ACCESS FOR SAFETY PURPOSES.

I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE PARK MANAGEMENT THAT POLICE CANNOT TRESPASS THESE INDIVIDUALS, WHICH IS SIMPLY NOT ACCURATE. LAW ENFORCEMENT CAN RESPOND WHEN RESIDENTS ARE BEING HARASSED OR WHEN PROPERTY IS BEING DAMAGED DOES NOT PREVENT THE GATE, DOES NOT PREVENT PEOPLE FROM ENTERING THE PARK. THEY CAN JUST GO RIGHT AROUND IT WITH THEIR BICYCLES OR SOMEBODY WALKING THROUGH, AND WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE PROTECT THE HOMEOWNERS FROM THESE INCIDENTS. WE'RE ASKING THE TOWN TO RECOGNIZE THAT BLOCKING THE EMERGENCY EXIT ACCESS DOES NOT IMPROVE SAFETY, AND TO HELP ENSURE THAT RESIDENTS HAVE BOTH PROPER EMERGENCY ACCESS AND APPROPRIATE PROTECTION WITH OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THAT'S A PARTNERSHIP.

I WAS ON A FAST. FORGET ANYONE ELSE. I HOPE I DO AS GOOD A JOB AS THEY DID. WELL. WE'LL SEE.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ALLEN HONG'S. I'M A RESIDENT OF DERBY AND I'M A VOLUNTEER WITH UNITE FOR FREEDOM, NOT A SPOKESPERSON. I AM HERE TODAY TO SHARE CRITICAL INFORMATION REGARDING OUR STATE'S VOTER ROLLS AND VOTER HISTORY FROM THE 2024 ELECTION. THIS INFORMATION COMES FROM EXTENSIVE RESEARCH CONDUCTED BY A TEAM OF DATA EXPERTS AT UNITE FOR FREEDOM, A NATIONWIDE NONPARTIZAN VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION. OUR TEAM ROUGHLY 100 DATABASE PEOPLE IN THAT TEAM. OUR TEAM METICULOUSLY ANALYZED OFFICIAL ELECTION FILES USING ONLY OFFICIAL STATE ELECTION DATA. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED BY THE FINDINGS, WHICH INCLUDE 5,878,070 770 MATERIAL ERRORS AND OMISSIONS IN THE VOTER REGISTRATION DATABASE. THAT WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE. THAT WOULD BE A PERSON WHO VOTED, WHO HAS NO ADDRESS, FOR EXAMPLE, OR THEY DON'T HAVE A BIRTHDAY, OR THEY DON'T HAVE A LEGITIMATE TIME THAT THEY REGISTERED. FOR EXAMPLE, THEY REGISTERED TO VOTE ON JANUARY 1ST WHEN ALL THE GOVERNMENT OFFICES WERE CLOSED. SO THOSE ARE OUR MISSIONS. THERE WERE SO THAT'S ALMOST 6 MILLION. THERE'S 895,595 VOTES IMPROPERLY COUNTED FROM THESE INELIGIBLE OR UNCERTAIN REGISTRANTS, OR ALMOST ALMOST A MILLION FROM THAT. ALMOST 6 MILLION VOTED 129,194 ACCESS VOTES COUNTED BEYOND THE NUMBER OF VOTERS WHO PARTICIPATED, WITH NO EXPLANATION FOR THEIR ORIGIN.

SO OVER 100,000 PEOPLE. WE HAVE MORE VOTES THAN PEOPLE. HOW CAN YOU HAVE MORE VOTES THAN PEOPLE? WE KNOW THAT BECAUSE PEOPLE VOTE IN PRECINCTS AND THE COUNTIES COLLECT ALL THE NUMBERS. AND SOMEHOW WHEN ALL THE NUMBERS GO TO THE STATE, THE NUMBER INFLATES. SO HOW ARE WE CREATING PEOPLE FROM DARK ENERGY, I GUESS, RIGHT. HAPPENED IN CHICAGO. SO. SO IN TOTAL WE HAVE 914,571 VOTING VIOLATIONS EXCEEDING THE LEGAL THRESHOLD, WHERE ONLY 67 ERRORS WERE ALLOWED UNDER FEDERAL LAW. THAT'S ACCORDING TO HAVA. YOU'RE ALLOWED ONE OUT OF 120,000, ONE OUT OF 125,000 ERRORS, ONE OUT OF 125,000 BALLOTS. THAT'S HOW MANY ERRORS YOU'RE ALLOWED. SO IN NEW YORK STATE, THAT COMES TO 67. SO WE'RE AT ROUGHLY AT A MILLION, BUT WE'RE ALLOWED 67. SO WE'RE KIND OF WAY OUT, WAY OUT OF WHACK HERE. THEREFORE, I AM HERE TO SEEK YOUR AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING AND SUPPORT IN ACTION. I PROVIDED YOU WITH A RESOLUTION. OKAY, YOU GOT IT ALREADY. OKAY. AND I ALSO GAVE YOU THREE. I ALSO GAVE YOU THREE SETS OF SCORE SHEETS, WHICH UNDERSCORE THREE ELECTION CYCLES. EVERY TWO YEARS YOU HAVE A FEDERAL ELECTION BECAUSE OF SO BASICALLY 20, 22 AND 24 TO SHOW YOU THAT IT'S NOT CHANGING BECAUSE YOU'RE IN NEW YORK STATE, YOU HAVE THREE CYCLES. WE WERE THE FIRST STATE TO DO THIS. WE HAVE ABOUT 35 STATES DOING IT NOW. SO YOU NOW HAVE THREE CYCLES. SOME STATES

[00:40:02]

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO FIND? YOU CAN DO THAT. ANYBODY CAN DO THAT. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. TAKE A LOOK AT THE INFORMATION AND THE RESOLUTION. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

REALLY APPRECIATE IT. THANKS A LOT. AND. MISS PETKOVSKI, DID I SAY IT RIGHT? OKAY. THANK YOU.

OH, I DIDN'T HAVE. HI. LAURA PETKOVSKI 4332 MCKINLEY PARKWAY. I'M JUST HERE SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF MY NEIGHBORS ON WILSON AND TAMAKI DRIVE. THERE IS A PLAYGROUND OVER THERE WITH A BASKETBALL COURT. IT'S REALLY IN DISARRAY. AND THEY'RE JUST ASKING IF THE BASKETBALL COURT COULD BE FIXED UP A LITTLE, AND IF THERE'S POSSIBILITY TO ADD A PICKLEBALL NET COURT, I THINK THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM. WE'RE IN LUCK. THERE'S TWO PEOPLE BACK THERE THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. I THINK THERE'S ENOUGH ROOM ON THE BASKETBALL COURT TO DO THIS, JUST TO DO LIKE ONE NET FOR THE RESIDENTS OVER THERE. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. JILL, DID YOU HEAR ANY OF THAT? WILL WE HAVE. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I SAID. WE GOT TWO PEOPLE BACK THERE THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO. ADDRESS IT. I'M GOING TO ADDRESS IT DOWN. YEAH. ANYONE ELSE? THAT'S

[Additional Item 4]

[00:45:01]

I DID HEAR MENTION OF CHAPTER 165, WHICH I KNOW IS MOBILE HOME PARKS AT CODE REVIEW. WHAT WE DO IS WE REVIEW CODES NOT JUST IN ZONING. WE REVIEW ALL THE DIFFERENT CODES AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE MODERNIZED. I BELIEVE MOBILE HOME PARKS WAS LAST UPDATED IN 1991, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. SO THAT'S OBVIOUSLY BEEN OVER 30 YEARS SINCE IT'S BEEN UPDATED. YOU KNOW, WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK INTO IT. AND LIKE I SAID, THERE'S NO GUARANTEES OF ANYTHING THAT CAN COME FROM THE CODE CHANGING, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK AT THAT CODE AND MODERNIZE IT AS NEED BE. SEE IF THERE'S ANY UPDATES THAT CAN BE, YOU KNOW, MADE TO THAT CODE. SO I'LL OFFER THAT JUST AS A SOLUTION FROM A PLANNING CODE STANDPOINT THAT I CAN OFFER THAT. AND THEN I ALSO JUST WANT TO GIVE A VERY BRIEF SHOUT OUT TO ENGINEERING AND THE CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENTS FROM ALL OF THE DIFFERENT CALLS THAT I KNOW THEY'VE GOTTEN FROM THE RAINSTORMS RECENTLY. I WORK WITH THEM DOWN IN THE BASEMENT. WE'RE KIND OF HIDDEN FROM EVERYBODY, BUT I KNOW THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT THEY GO INTO, GOING OUT TO ALL THE DRAINAGE COMPLAINTS AND ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT THEY HEAR FROM, FROM VIOLATIONS, AND THEY DO A REALLY GOOD JOB. AND I THINK BOTH THOSE DEPARTMENTS DON'T REALLY GET, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE NOTICE. SO I JUST WANT TO PUT THEM ON NOTICE THAT I APPRECIATE THEM. THEY MAKE MY LIFE A LITTLE BIT EASIER AND I TRY TO DO THE SAME FOR THEM. SO OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S ALL I GOT.

SO JOSH, THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING UP ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ALL THAT WE ARE DOING. WE THERE ARE A LOT OF CODES IN THE TOWN OF HAMBURG AND WE HAVE SET, YOU KNOW, A PRETTY HIGH BAR FOR OURSELVES. AND WE'VE BEEN. I KNOW EVERY TIME YOU COME INTO MY OFFICE, I ADD TO YOUR LIST AND WE ARE WORKING THROUGH ALL OF THE DIFFERENT CODES AND BRINGING THEM UP TO DATE. IT'S IMPORTANT. WE'VE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS. BUT YES, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOU PUT THAT PARTICULAR CODE ON THE LIST. IT WORKS ITS WAY THROUGH CODE REVIEW, THROUGH OTHER DEPARTMENTS, ETC.

YOU KNOW, WE CONSIDER THINGS, WE REVIEW THEM, WE GET A LOT OF INPUT, WE GET TOWN BOARD INPUT.

SO I THINK THAT DEFINITELY IS ONE THAT MERITS BEING PUT ON THE LIST FOR REVIEW. WE'LL DO.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THREE MONTHS. SUPERVISOR RAN OUT OF FOUR PENS. I'D LIKE TO OFFER TWO TO WORK WITH HIM SO THAT HE'S GOT A VOICE OF TENANTS. WHEN HE'S DOING RIGHT, THERE'LL BE AN OPPORTUNITY WHEN WE WHEN WE GET TO THAT, THAT POINT. BUT IT STARTS WE HAVE A PROCESS THAT STARTS WITH OUR CODE REVIEW COMMITTEE AND WORKS THROUGH A LOT OF OTHER DEPARTMENTS. AND THEN WHEN WE MAKE CHANGES, AS YOU KNOW, FROM THE BEING IN A LOT OF MEETINGS, WHEN IT GETS TO THE POINT THAT IT COMES BEFORE THE BOARD, THEN WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS, ETC. SO THERE WILL BE AMPLE OPPORTUNITY THEN FOR COMMENT AND INPUT, USUALLY.

OKAY, OKAY. THANK YOU. ENGINEERING FINANCE, NOTHING TO REPORT. ASSESSING YOUTH AND SENIOR SERVICES. ON MY LIST. FIRST, I JUST WANT TO THANK COUNCIL MEMBER ORTIZ. HE CAME TO OUR COFFEE WITH THE COUNCIL MEMBER AND NOT ONLY DID HE HAVE COFFEE, BUT HE HAD A QUESTION FROM SOMEBODY IN BUILDING FIVE, A SEPARATE BUILDING, AND HE TOOK HIS TIME TO ACTUALLY WALK OVER THERE BECAUSE SHE WAS STILL WORKING OUT. SO SHE DID NOT HAVE TO STOP WORKING OUT.

ANSWER HER QUESTION. SO WE'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE. I THINK IT WENT VERY WELL. AND, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE JUST RAISING THE BAR FOR YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER CODES HAVE BEEN BIEGALSKI. THEY'RE JUST. YEAH, THAT'S WHY I FIRST. YEAH, YEAH. SO COME ON OVER EVERY EVERYBODY LOVES IT.

THEY'VE REALLY LIKED I THINK HAVING EVERYBODY COME LIKE I SAID THE CLERK, I THINK EVERYBODY IS REALLY APPRECIATIVE THAT NOT JUST ELECTED OFFICIALS, BUT EVEN TOWN EMPLOYEES ARE WILLING TO COME TO THEM BECAUSE IT IS DIFFICULT FOR SENIORS. SO LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU. AND THE PINNACLE GROUP IS, OH, WE DO COFFEE AND WE HAVE SNACKS. AND IF YOU HAVE A SPECIAL REQUEST, WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT. IT'S GOT TO BE BEFORE 2:00. WE'D HAVE TO GET A WAIVER, I BELIEVE, TO DO MOST. BUT WE DO IT FOR. ON THAT NOTE, COUNCIL MEMBER ALSO CAME TO PIZZA WITH THE BUNNY, WHICH WENT VERY WELL, SO I LOVED THAT HE WAS ABLE TO SEE OUR YOUNG FAMILIES ON SATURDAY. AND THEN ON TUESDAY, YOU KNOW, OUR SENIORS.
