Village Board Reports
Easf Rockaway Lynbrook
The East Rockaway Village
Board held its regular monthly
meeting on March 14th.
One of the big discussions of
the evening was the proposal
for a land-fill site at Bay Park
(see last week's issue). Another
was brought up by a resident
and concerned gardeners work-ing
on weekends. He, a gardener,
disputed the Village's ban on
weekend work. Mayor Reinhard
noted that the Board was not
trying to make it difficult fo
gardenrs, merely looking out for
the welfare of residents, most of
whom did not want to be dis-turbed
on weekends by the
sound of trucks, mowers, etc.
Residents of the area re-quested
a STOP sign at Sachem
and Davison, and following
lengthy discussion of the area
and traffic problems the Board
OK*d the request.
The Board also approved the
re-instatment of Waldo Ave. as a
2-way street, with the addition
of STOP signs at Maxwell &
Waldo.
Bids were authorized to be
accepted for a new ambulance
on April 21st. Trustee Eskenazi
noted that BUI Gipson of the
Fire Dept.. had worked night
and day on the project, and
Mayor Reinhard noted that the
fire department was not getting
many new volunteers, which
made it difficult for those now
working. It was noted that one
of the reasons may be that state
mandates are far too excessive
for training.
Trustee Irving Shaw advised
tht he had met with Insp.
Jorgenson of the 4th Pet. who
promised strict action in regard
