Mayor Martins and the members
of the Board discussed setting December 5, 2006 as the date to hold the Police
Department referendum.
Trustee Linda Fairgrieve
stated that she thought that it would be less confusing if the referendum was
held at the same time as the General Election or even the March election with
no additional cost for a separate event.
Trustee Fairgrieve also stated that residents wouldn’t have enough time
to review the Police Task Force Operational Report.
Trustee Lawrence Werther
stated that December 5th would be an appropriate date for the Police
Department Referendum and that the back-up information had been available for a
while. Trustee Werther also stated that
the referendum should not be an election season issue.
Trustee Cusato said that the
March election would be better and said that the “snowbirds” wouldn’t be around
in December.
Trustee DaVanzo stated that
the December 5th date would be fine and that the “snowbirds” could
use absentee ballots.
Mayor Martins stated that
traditionally the Village’s referendums have been held on their own dates and
not included with an election. Mayor
Martins also stated that the issue should stand alone and that the information
and a month of discussion should be sufficient. Mayor Martins also noted that Village
elections are conducted over only 5-6 weeks from petitions to Election Day, yet
we make these important decisions.
Resolution No. 327-06
Mayor Martins requested a
motion to set Tuesday, December 5, 2006, as the date for the Mineola Police
Department Referendum.
