From The Mayor's Office
The annual observance of Fire Prevention Week in Garden City will be October 7 through October 13, 2007. All residents and friends are invited to attend the Annual Inspection and Open House this Sunday, October 14th at 12:00 p.m. The program will be conducted at Fire Headquarters and in the employee parking field, located on the west side of Village Hall on -Stewart Avenue. Your Fire Department does an outstanding job to protect our lives and homes. Please stop by to show your support for them. I'm sure that your entire family will enjoy the program. LOCAL LAW - SOLICITATIONS The Village's solicitation law prohibits all unwanted commercial solicitations and distributions on all private residential property in the Village and prohibits non-commercial solicitations and distributions on private property to the extent desired by the resident. This law was designed to protect residents from unwanted invasions of their privacy. Any resident requesting not to be solicited should complete a "Notice of Objection" form at the Village Hall. Presently, the Board has authorized certain groups to solicit door-to-door in the Village. As of this writing the only group that has authorization to solicit is the New York Youth Club for the dates of October 20 and 21, 2007 and December 15 and 16, 2007. SAFETY GLASS IN STORM DOORS As we get our homes ready for the onset of colder weather, I encourage residents, particularly those with young children, to consider replacing the glass in their storm door inserts with safety glass. Last summer, our Police Department responded to a call for a medical emergency involving a young child who sustained a deep laceration from broken glass from a storm door insert that he accidentally ran into. While the New York State Building Code requires that glass in replacement storm doors be safety glass, most of our older homes do not have safety glass. VILLAGE'S WEB SITE I encourage residents to periodically utilize the Village's website for information regarding the Village's operations, as well as items of seasonal and special interest. The address is www.gardencityny.net. Also please be aware that I have a Village e-mail address and would be delighted to hear from Village residents about their concerns - it is as follows: MayorPBee@gardencityny.net BOARD MEETING The next regularly scheduled Village Board of Trustees meeting is on Thursday, October 18, 2007 at 8:00 p.m.
