Freeport will participate in Irene relief program
hbyv J.Tiimm GGoollddiinnig? Nehrich said.
residents of their options in the program, Freeport residents who have suffered at
least 50 percent damage to their homes
caused by Hurricane Irene or Tropical
Storm Lee may be eligible for tax relief
under a new reassessment program
approved by the state.
At their agenda meeting on Monday,
village trustees approved the participa-tion
of Freeport in the program.
Freeport Assessor Paul Nehrich
explained at the meeting that at least four
houses would qualify for the program,
which would provide tax relief for one
year. After that period, the property
"would revert to its previous value," Mr.
"We don't know how many [appli-cants]
may come out of the woodwork
once this legislation passes," he said.
The assessor also noted that the
Building Department would be relied
upon to determine whether a property
qualifies for a reassessment and there
would be an appeals process involving
the Village Board.
The board would have the final ruling
on appeals," said Mr. Nehrich, adding,
"If there are more houses out there, we
want to help them."
Mayor Andrew Hardwick said the vil-lage
"may need to create a team to walk
an area and knock on doors" to inform
program.
"People just don't know."
In the brief agenda meeting, trustees
approved contracts for lot clearance and
boarding up unused buildings and other
purchases.
Contracts were awarded to the follow-ing
businesses:
• Cipco Boarding Co. Inc., of East
Rockaway, $25.355 for the annual "board
up" contract.
• United Rubbish Removal of
Huntington Station, $84,112 for the
annual lot clearance contract (inorganic
materials).
• F. Acosta Landscaping of Freeport,
$69,632 for the annual lot clearance
(organic materials) contract.
• ENOSERV of Tulsa, Okla., $24,470
for a software package for the Electric
Utility for use in testing. Mayor
Hardwick said the software would save
money since there would be no need for
outside technicians to perform the work.
The board also voted to renew the one-year
agreement with the Freeport Exempt
Firemen's Association at a cost of
$5,000.
In other actions prior to the public com-ment
segment, trustees approved the hang-ing
of banners at various intersections to
promote the Black History Month celebra-tion
at the Recreation Center on February 3.
