OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE BOARD. SPEAKERS HAVE FIVE (5) MINUTES BEFORE YIELDING TO THE NEXT SPEAKER; THEN THREE (3) MINUTES FOR ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Chris Cole-Olsewski, Tarrytown resident, asked the Board to reconsider the decision not to grant the certificate of occupancy for Unit 407 at Hudson Harbor in order that her family can move into their new unit. She is currently living in another unit at Hudson Harbor, but she wants to move in her permanent unit. She understands the disagreement that the Village has is with Hudson Harbor/National Resources and she is requesting that her Certificate of Occupancy should not be part of this ongoing disagreement because she is not a party to this disagreement. She has one more week before she loses the bank interest lock in rate.
This matter has caused issues for both her and her family.
Mayor Fixell stated that it is very unfortunate that she and her family were put in this position. Hudson Harbor was notified formally in November 2012 that Certificates of Occupancy would not be issued, which was a number of months before Hudson Harbor went into contract with her in February 2013. He understands that Ms. Cole-Olsewski was caught in the middle and appreciates the difficulty that it has caused. He hopes the Board will hear something from Hudson Harbor that will enable us to resolve this situation.
ADJOURNMENT TO EXECUTIVE SESSION
Trustee Basher moved, seconded by Trustee McGovern, and unanimously carried, that the meeting be adjourned at 8:35 p.m. to Executive Session to discuss contracts.
ADJOURNMENT
