CALL TO ORDER
The Special Meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Town Supervisor Elkind
Eney. Moved by Councilmember King, seconded by Councilmember Nambiar the meeting
opened at 6:31 pm.
1. Temporary Parking Permitting
Town Supervisor Jaine Elkind Eney introduced the reason for the meeting explaining
this issue involving five individuals who had been holding resident parking permits in
Lot A but were recently identified as non-residents within our new permitting system.
The Supervisor noted that while the Town Board deliberates on a course of action, the
immediate concern was the need to provide temporary parking permits.
Several options were discussed, including relocating the individuals to Lot B, which
has available spaces, or allowing them to continue parking in Lot A for a limited time.
Councilmembers debated how long the temporary accommodation should last, with
suggestions ranging from four months to six months or until permanent policy
changes could take effect. It was emphasized that any decision should not negatively
impact current residents.
The discussion also considered the precedent set by these individuals; some having
paid for their parking permits with the Town for over 31 years. Given some of the
parkers' long history with the Town, the Board unanimously felt it was reasonable to
offer short-term accommodation while the Town determines a final resolution. The
Board acknowledged that upcoming changes could generate additional revenue,
making it important to balance fairness for affected individuals with fiscal planning.
Ultimately, the group leaned toward maintaining the status quo for a temporary period,
ensuring that no immediate disruptions occur while comprehensive parking policy
adjustments are finalized.
