Munsey Park Board of Trustees announces two trustee positions will be open in 2016

Munsey Park trustees announced Wednesday that two trustee positions will be on the ballot when the village holds its election on March 15, 2016.

Positions currently held by trustees Jennifer Noone and John Lippmann will be up for election in March, Village Clerk/Treasurer Barbara C. Miller said.

Miller said candidates for the positions will not be announced until February.

Running on the Residents for a Better Munsey Park ticket In 2014, Noone and Lippmann ran defeated Trustee Susan Auriemma, and trustee candidate Eileen Cuneo who ran on the Village Party line. 

Noone, a Munsey Park resident since 2007, was appointed to the board in September 2013 to fulfill the remainder of the term vacated by former Trustee Matthew Seidner. 

She joined the village’s architectural review board in the spring of 2013 and said her professional experience as a former corporate lawyer eased her transition to serving on the board.

Lippmann, who moved to Munsey Park four years ago, works in commercial real estate finance and as an adjunct professor at New York University’s Schack Institute of Real Estate. 

He has served the community on the village’s building advisory committee as well as the Manhasset School District’s Citizens’ Advisory Committee for Finance.

In other business, village trustees announced there will be a public hearing on Dec. 9 to discuss amending the village code. 

Village Clerk/Treasurer Barbara C. Miller said Building Inspector Anthony DiProperzio noticed the village law about roofing was located under the building section of the village code, but should be located under the zoning section of the village code. 

Both the language and the effect of the law will remain the same, Miller said. 

Trustees were also reminded that the village will be sending out letters to residents on Dec. 1 regarding snow removal.

The letters, Miller said, state that when it snows, residents who have sidewalks must have them cleared 24 hours “after the snowstorm ceases.” The village code requires that sidewalks be cleared “within eight hours after snow ceases to fall.”

Miller said the village will take legal action if sidewalks are not cleared within 24 hours.  Miller said the letters are sent out around the same time every year, but the timing could change dependent upon weather conditions.

“We hope we always get through Thanksgiving with no snow,” she said. 

The village was going to begin picking up bagged leaves from the curb on four consecutive Mondays starting on Nov. 16, Miller said.

All garbage pick up in the village is done in the rear yard of homes, she said, and this will be the only time the village allows bags of leaves to be brought to the curb. The three other dates when bagged leaves will be picked up are Nov. 23, Nov. 30 and Dec. 7.

The next board meeting will be on Dec. 9.
