Mayor's Report for November: November 10, 2021 Farewell to Barry: On Thursday October 14th the Village’s Sanitation Operator Barry Bradley made his last pick up for the Village and hung up his keys to Big Blue. We wish Barry health and happiness in his retirement. The new sanitation company, Total Collection Services, began pickups the following week. Although there were a few growing pains, the new contractor is doing an excellent job. The Village will begin bidding out the sanitation truck. PBA Contract: The Village and the Asharoken PBA held their first negotiating session to work on the new contract. Amended Village Codes: The Village has begun work on updating the existing sanitation and beach fire local laws. National Grid Gas Main: The gas main project is essentially completed. The final connection to Beach Plum Road was made yesterday. National Grid will come back one more time to disconnect the old main at Village Hall. I would like to thank everyone for their patience, understanding and cooperation during this long construction project. The road will be re-paved and striped early next year. Verizon lines: I met with Verizon to have them neaten up all their wires along Asharoken Avenue. Huntington Board Elections: I reached out to all the newly elected officials in Huntington to congratulate them and express my desire for the Village and Town to continue to work together as we have done in the past. Questions: As always, please feel free to contact the Village at 631-261-7098 or email nrittenhouse@asharokenny.org with any questions you may have. Finally: to all the veterans, we salute you! We are grateful to all the members of our military, in all branches, past and present and we thank you for your service and sacrifice to preserve our freedoms, liberties and this great nation.
