6/6/12 Fishkill Town Board Meeting

http://www.fishkill-ny.gov/Agendas_Minutes_.htm

Big news of the night was police promotions and demotions. If you are interested, watch the meeting on Public Access.

In other news, the FEMA flood maps that were passed into law this year. (Local Law #3 2012) Were supposed to help Fishkill receive grant monies in a flood. This law instead, has resulted in banks. Contacting homeowners requiring them to have flood insurance at a average cost of $1,800 a year. Even though their properties have never flooded.

If the house has a mortgage. The lenders are sending out notices requiring the insurance ASAP. If insurance is not acquired. The lender is acquiring it for them and adding it into the mortgage.

This is a huge hardship to Fishkill taxpayers.
