Mayor Ralph V. Suozzi announced that Representative Peter King and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand have secured $500,000 to improve the City of Glen Cove’s water system infrastructure. This funding, which is part of the Fiscal Year 2010 Interior and Environmental Appropriations bill, supplements the federal funding that is already allocated to the city each year, he stated.

The mayor said that the City of Glen Cove has devoted a significant amount of resources toward rehabilitating the city’s aging drinking and storm water infrastructure. In addition, earlier this year, Mayor Suozzi and CDA/IDA Director Kelly Morris traveled to Washington, DC to meet with Representative King, Senator Schumer and Senator Gillibrand to advocate for additional federal support for Glen Cove’s water infrastructure initiatives.

The Glen Cove Board of Education held a special meeting this week to provide contractors and the public more detailed information on how to bid on construction projects. Attorney Carrie Anne Tondo from the law firm Ingerman Smith, L.L.P. presented the facts in the Middle School Mini Center, while the board held their Executive Session downstairs. After disappointment on the track project and questions arising as a result of the bus yard proposal, residents have pushed for the school to encourage more bids and more local bidders.

Before the presentation began, Superintendent Dr. Laurence Aronstein explained that the purpose of the informal public meeting was to “demystify the bidding process” for contractors. The 45-minute long presentation covered topics from an overview of the school district construction process to a breakdown of what is contained in a project manual, to actually submitting a bid on a project.

1G/2G –
Island Photography

The Island Photography Division 1/2 Girl’s Soccer team had their full compliment of players when they battled A+ Signs on Monday, Oct. 19. Eleni Zarkadas and Ellie Haff were exceptional for Island Photography, pressuring A+ signs at every opportunity. Gianna Florentino was a force to be reckoned with on defensive, stopping several offensive charges by A+ signs. The star of the game was Kylie Paul who showed a great deal of determination when she pushed the ball through the gridlocked defense of A+ signs for her first goal of the season and the only goal in the game. Danielle Reyes, Kendall Grennan, Jane Maleady, Addison Huvane, Daniella Cavallone and Nicole Serrano all played well for Island Photography and there were smiles all around at the end of the game.
