Commissioner of Cheer, Spring Valley, NY- Representing Ramapo/Spring Valley Midget

To the Honorable Mayor Jasmin and the Board of Trustees, Mayor on behalf of the
Ramapo/Spring Valley Midget Football League we would like to express our appreciation and
gratitude towards everything that you all do. We appreciate you supporting our football league
over the years, especially Mayor Jasmin, I have to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for
everything you do for the youth of our community. We would like to extend our thanks by
presenting you with a plaque. It says, “Ramapo Midget Football, Mayor Noramie Jasmin, Spring
Valley, NY In Appreciation for the Dedication and Friendship you have given to the Ramapo
Football Organization, The Staff and Children Salute You, 2010”.
January 25, 2011 Mayor Jasmin Thank you so much. I really thank all of you with all of my heart. I always say that the youth are the future of our community. I like to keep them busy and express to them the importance of education, etc. I will always be there for them. I say to all of you, you have been an extension of my administration. You work with the community tirelessly and I thank you for that and tonight I will say this and I say this to all of you that I will continue my efforts to support the Ramapo Midget Football, you can always count on me. Trustee Leon I would like to take a moment to thank you and congratulate you on behalf of the Board of Trustees. We see that not too often, this Board and this Mayor has been given awards all over the place and sometimes never receive anything in return. I congratulate you Madam Mayor. I thank the Ramapo Midget Football League for your gesture. Trustee Delhomme I want to acknowledge the appointment of the Senator and the President of the Community (Inaudible). Ms. Ledger, 95 S. Middletown Road, Nanuet, NY 10954 I am here as a representative of Senator David Carlucci and I am here because I am the Haitian African American outreach person. It is appropriate that I come and introduce myself to the Board and let you know that we are here to help in any way that we can and provide support. Mayor Jasmin Congratulations and I am very proud of you. You will be hearing from us soon. Widmax Fils Aime, 50 North Main Street, Spring Valley, NY 10977 I have a restaurant and clothing store in Spring Valley. I am from Harlem and I came here to do business. I have been doing a licensed business here for the past 10 years. I have had a small restaurant for about 3 years. I am confused about the Building Department and Police Department. I have a small restaurant where I sometimes rent for private parties. The Building Department sometimes come and ask for the code. I wasn’t able to get it. I know where he is coming from, I have read the papers. I see the Spanish bars and other bars and I see where you are going. It is a great idea you have come up with where they have to come in and fill out an application and pay $100.00. It is a good thing, but at times it is not good for everybody. It is really tough in Spring Valley to maintain a business. Right now I am working with my attorney to get a beer and wine license. Mayor Jasmin That is what I was going to ask you what kind of permit you have to function in your business and what type of business you have. You stated you had either or bar or restaurant. Sometimes you just don’t function as a restaurant, but some of the things require additional licenses. If you have weddings, dancing, communion those types of things, you need a cabaret license that we do not issue (inaudible). Another thing that you may have is a liquor license and that you have to apply for. There are certain things that we cannot allow you to do as a business because we have to follow the rules and regulations of the Village. I am happy to see that you have an attorney to work with you to help you get the proper licenses. This is not only for you, but for all the businesses. This is not only for Spring Valley, but Nation-wide. Widmax Fils Aime, 50 North Main Street, Spring Valley, NY 10977 My issue is that I can go to a Spanish bar who is operating without nothing. It gets me confused. Is this a community where the law is meant for everybody or just one type of people? Mayor Jasmin No, as a matter of fact we have one item on this agenda for a liquor license approval to deny the license in the Village. We have to have certain standards in our community to approve certain things. We do have rules and they have to comply. If they do not comply they are not going to be operating in our Village. I would suggest that you focus on your business. You have a lawyer, so make sure you operate legally within the Village. As far as the Building Department if you need assistant, you can come in and make an appointment so that I can see what types of issues you are having with the Building Department. If I can be of any help to you, I will. January 25, 2011 Trustee Delhomme I think that is the right thing to do, have him come in so you can discuss that with him. I understand your issue very well. I ate there one time, it is a good nice clean restaurant. So come back to see the Mayor and our Lawyers and tell them exactly what you want and you will receive proper guidance. Referral No. 2059

Debate:

Trustee Delhomme
Yes, this is for the record. Sometimes most of the people do not understand the process as
elected officials (inaudible) we have lawyers we ask for people above us to tell us what to do.
Last year, a couple of months exactly, there was an issue which came in front of the Board which
was that the previous government hired a couple of people, their paperwork was not properly
filed and Rockland County did not have it and the Mayor asked us to remove these people
because they were there not properly. I asked our lawyer and he said yes, you have to remove
them so I voted to remove these gentlemen and they worked at DPW. My vote was under the
lawyer’s advice. It is true and (inaudible) that was the right thing to do. I have called the
Conference of the Mayor, that was the right thing to do and I am fine with that. Recently, we
have the same issue coming on board and I have voted. My vote was also taking the advice from
the lawyer, which was not Mr. Conway by the way, that I could do either thing. Either fix it or
vote no. But, I was asked to vote yes on that issue and I am asking to rescind that vote from
Personnel, the last Board meeting and I do not remember the date correctly, I hope the Madam
Clerk remember that date, to rescind those votes because it is the same criteria. However, I do
want to vote yes to get these people to work, but those who do not have the paperwork are not
fully prepared and given to the Clerk, no one should vote yes if the paperwork is not ready just
like we did a couple of months ago. Those of you who do not understand what the process is,
please, please. I do not say that they are not going to work and I have never said that I am not
going to vote for them. Basically, the paperwork is not ready. If the paperwork is ready now, I
am ready to move on and vote yes. As of this afternoon I have called and the paperwork still is
not ready, therefore, my vote is no and I rescind them, my vote was no instead of yes and all of
those, the paperwork was not ready. Please you Haitian radios up there (inaudible) learn English
that is exactly the right thing I am told to do by the Conference of the Mayors. Thank you.
Mayor Jasmin
Thank you Trustee Delhomme. I will not elaborate too much because the cases are pending and
as far as your vote, unfortunately you cannot rescind your vote. But, I will let your statement
stay on the record.
