SPEAKERS & COMMUNICATIONS (I) • Mike and Amy Sullivan- 574 South St- They spoke about NYSEG coming to do a gas line change and the timeline, which included the information that their boiler would not restart. Mr. Sullivan noted that Mayor Mercurio intervened, which helped them get the repairs done without paying for the part. He said that they still, however, had to pay for a service call. He said that NYSEG also caused a water line issue when they did the work. The Village came out immediately for a fix until NYSEG could replace it. He said that he appreciates the Mayor looking into this situation and all the help that the Village gave them, but is concerned about this happening to other residents. • Jay Deperno- Elm Street Bakery- He said that he has concerns about MusicFest. He said that he loves the event and its charitable aspect. He said that it doesn’t help all businesses, especially not with the road closures, specifically his business on Elm Street and his neighbor's. He said that he wants it to go on for others, but the scope of the event needs to be considered. Mayor Mercurio noted that the street wasn’t always closed, and Police Chief Welch said that he felt that it made it safer. Mr. Deperno still has concerns and said that his business and Left Coast Taco are no longer involved with the event. Police Chief Welch said that he can look further into it with the department heads.
