A Tropical Storm Warning is now in effect for all of Long Island.

As of 5:00 AM the center of TS Elsa was located near 33.4 N and 81.3 W or about 90 miles WNW of Charleston, South Carolina.

Maximum sustained winds are about 40 MPH with gusts as high as 65 MPH.

Present movement is NE at 18 MPH and this general motion is expected to continue with an increase in forward speed over the next day or so. Elsa is and forecasted to move over South Carolina and North Carolina during the day today, and should pass over Long Island through the overnight period.

As of this forecast the NWS is predicting 2 to 4 inches of rain locally. Tomorrows High Tide is around 10 AM tomorrow morning and at the present time there is no tide data, but I anticipate some minor to moderate coastal flooding may occur as the storm interacts with our tide cycle.

I will provide further updates as deemed necessary. I would advise everyone to take a look at the tropical storm preparedness tips the Mayor provided in his message today.

Village Board Meetings are now open for public in-person attendance. The option to attend via zoom is still available and will be listed in the public meetings calendar.

Next Village Board Meeting is Tuesday, July 13th, 2:30pm at Village Hall.

This is another update on our response to the incident on June 22, 2021 involving the improper removal of certain parrot nests from Village Park.  As you may know, this unapproved action resulted in the unneeded loss of bird life which could have been avoided.  The Mayor and Village Board are deeply saddened and offended by the unprofessional actions of our contractor and the subcontractor resulting in this inhumane loss.  Ironically, this cost-neutral, innovative, green-energy project was intended to protect the environment.  We have met with our Village contractor, Johnson Controls, and shortly expect a report of their findings as to what happened.  We also believe that, at least based on their website, the subcontractor they hired does not appear to be an “animal control specialist” at all.  We have also met with the SCPA and are demanding those responsible be prosecuted.  At no point, until it was too late, was the Village aware that the actions of the subcontractor would harm any bird life.  Fortunately, some of the birds were saved and are being cared for by New York State Licensed Animal Rehabber, Samantha Boyd.  We are supporting that care, and are donating $500.00 towards her work.  Any work on the lighting where the nests were removed will continue to be suspended.

The Village is aware of an incident at Village Park involving the removal of certain parrot nests by a subcontractor of the Village.  The nests were removed as part of an upgrade to the facility’s ballfield lighting.  The Village received complaints that the nests were not removed in a professional manner resulting in the loss of a number of parrots.  We have reported the matter to the proper authorities for a full investigation.  We have also demanded a complete report from the responsible contractor.

This action regrettably resulted in the unnecessary loss of bird life which could have been avoided.  First, be aware the Mayor and Village Board are appalled at the callous and unprofessional actions of our contractor and the subcontractor resulting in this inhumane loss.  As you may know by way of history, the Village hired a contractor, Johnson Controls, a nationally respected leader in the field of energy conservation as part of an innovative Village wide cost neutral green energy initiative.  Part of this contract included the upgrade of lighting at Villages Park.  Johnson Controls in turn hired an animal control specialist to responsibly remove certain parrot’s nests from the lighting so the work could be performed and supervised the activity as the general contractor.  At no point, until it was too late, was the Village aware that the actions of the animal control specialist and subcontractor would harm any bird life.  The Village immediately self-reported the matter to the police, ASPCA and NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.  We requested a thorough and complete investigation and demanded that those responsible are held accountable as we deal with this terrible loss.

The Village is aware of an incident yesterday at Village Park involving the removal of certain parrot nests by a subcontractor of the Village.  The nests were removed as part of an upgrade to the facility’s ball field lighting.  The Village received complaints that the nests were not removed in a professional manner resulting in the loss of a number of parrots.  We have reported the matter to the proper authorities for a full investigation.  We have also demanded a complete report from the responsible contractor.

We are deeply troubled by this incident and will advise you as this matter progresses.
