Lifeguards:
Eugene Levy, President of the FHCA reports that the lifeguard/toilet issue
seems the be solved thanks to an agreement between the Town of Islip and
the Fair Harbor Fire Commissioners. Construction of the permanent building
at Central and Elm can possibly start this winter with the interim
solution in the meantime satisfying the Suffolk County Health Department.
Maintenance will be performed by the Lifeguard District.
Medical District:
Not run by the FHCA. Mr. Brozan has been ill this summer. Mr. Levy offers
to help out with some of the issues that may arise. Defibrillators are
still planned as well as an electric medical cart. Attendees voiced
concern and dissatisfaction with the attitude of some doctors in what the
community perceives to be emergency situations ( broken ankle in the surf,
and lacerated shin at the bay beach). Mr. Levy will speak to Tony about
this matter.

Dock District:
Will replace the temporary snow-fencing with permanent rails. A bait
station and improved mooring is also planned.
The wagon-platform on the western side is in need of replacement. A
discussion ensued as to how extensive that replacement should be. Some
members felt that we should take care to not to overlook the aesthetics
and beauty of the bayfront.
A wagon park cleanup is planned for this fall. Please watch out for the
date (tba) to remove your wagon.
The Rockettes:
15 of the more senior members including Corliss will give a benefit
presentation at the old Fire House on Saturday 8/21/99 at 8:30pm.
Admission $ 5.-- goes to the FHCA.
FI Interim Project:
The FIA has lobbied for many years very hard to drive this project
further. The draft was published recently for public comment. The comment
period ends end of September.
Ferries:
The ferry company agreed to instruct it's captains to go slow when
transiting to and from Dunewood. Some members had noticed erosion due to
the large wakes.
Beach Monitoring:
Erica Feder reports that last fall monitoring indicated that our beach was
in good shape and in line with expectations. This spring and summer has
not been good to the beach sofar. Another layer of snow fencing was added
recently.
Scraping the beach is being discussed. Advantage: Houses look better.
Disadvantage: Expensive. Saltaire scrapes every year. Kismet every other
year. Once scraping has started, monthly monitoring is required adding to
the cost.
Pine Walk Fair
Helen Kornblau presented a check to the FHCA from the Pine Walk Fair.
Complaint about a construction
business:
A member complained that a neighboring construction business on Central
creates too much noise at all times of the day including at night when
large garbage trucks remove waste. |
