Here’s what council members had to say about some of the resolutions listed above:

Councilwoman Barbara Peebles thanked the Glen Cove Fire Department chiefs for coming to the pre-council meeting “to explain the increase and all the negotiations... with the Seagrave company, explaining the increase and the difficulty of getting parts.”

“These trucks are very important,” Peebles added. “I look forward to the arrival of the ‘twins.’”

Councilwoman Marsha Silverman said she was glad the city is moving forward with the repairs to the Nancy Court Pump Station. “It might look like a lot of money, but running water and clean potable water in every home and business in Glen Cove is of the utmost importance,” Silverman said. “You might see a lot more of these in the future because we must maintain our water system.”

Silverman also said she was glad to see the city improving their infrastructure.

Councilwoman Danielle Fugazy Scagliola thanked an anonymous donor, the Director of Glen Cove Youth Services and Recreation Spiro Tsirkas and Milanese Landscaping for making the planting of 30 to 40 trees at John Maccarone Memorial Stadium possible.

And Mayor Pam Panzenbeck thanked the City Council for supporting the resolutions.
