Dear Neighbors:
Linda and I would like to wish everyone celebrating Easter a very nice holiday weekend. Enjoy your egg hunts, jelly beans and Easter feast.
As we move into spring and the landscaping season, I would like to remind you of the new Village noise ordinance. Residents can do landscaping on weekdays from 8am-7pm, Saturdays from 9am-5pm and Sunday from 10am-3pm. Commercial landscaping can be done from 8am-6pm on weekdays, 9am-2pm on Saturday and is prohibited on Sunday. Please remember that most tree removals require a permit. Contact the Village Clerk Michelle Glennon at 631-261-7098 for more information.
It looks like we are going to have a nice weekend and that the feel of spring is finally in the air. The Osprey are back, paired up and ready for nesting season. Lastly, a Prothonotary Warbler was found yesterday at Fuchs Pond off of Waterside Avenue. It's a rare, beautiful bird.
Best regards,
Mayor Dr. Gregory Letica

Dear Neighbors:
Linda and I wish everyone celebrating Passover a very happy holiday.
This week the Village had the NYS Department of Homeland Security Emergency Services conduct a rapid cyber risk assessment for the Village. Overall, the Village was well-prepared for a cyber emergency. DHSES provided the Village with some suggestions that would improve its security and they will be implemented. I thank the Village's IT consultant, Axe Creatives, for the excellent job they do for Asharoken.
This week on Monday and today several Northern Gannets flew by my house. These are magnificent birds that you generally see in April, over Long Island Sound on days with northeast winds, just like today. They are worth watching for!
Have a great weekend!
Mayor Dr. Gregory Letica

Dear Neighbors:
At the Board of Trustees meeting on April 1st, the Village approved the hiring of two new part-time police officers. Officers Matthew Corr and Matthew Davis are both very qualified, well trained, and already highly-regarded members of the Suffolk County PD. Officer Corr has expertise in cybercrime and will bring this unique talent to the Village.
I expect that the two Matts will be a valuable addition to the Asharoken Police Department. I thank Officer-in-Charge Ray Mahdesian for doing an excellent job finding the two great candidates.
In my ongoing effort to keep you informed of the events in the Village, here is my Mayor's Report from the April Board meeting:
There was data missing in the tentative budget for 2025-26 that was sent to you last week. The proposed budget for next year and actual revenues/expenses for 2023-24 were inadvertently omitted. Here are the updated documents:
Tentative Budget Packet for the fiscal year ending 5/31/2026:
Updated March 27, 2025
The proposed tax increase of 1.73% and a tax levy below the NYS 2% tax cap that I reported last week are unchanged. I sincerely apologize for this oversight.
The Village will be holding a public hearing on the budget at its next Board of Trustees meeting on April 1st at 6:30pm. To submit written comments, email the Village Clerk at mglennon@asharrokenny.org.
This Wednesday, Village Emergency Manager Bill Raisch, Police Officer in Charge Ray Mahdesian and I hosted a meeting to discuss evacuation of people with medical needs from Eatons Neck and the parts of Asharoken beyond the seawall, should the road become impassible. Joining us were members of the ENFD, NFD, NPD, Huntington Maritime Department, the Operations Officer from the US Coast Guard Station Eatons Neck, and the Huntington Fire Marshall. It was a very productive meeting and set the stage for a comprehensive response to any medical emergencies during a storm.
Tomorrow is the kick-off event for the Village's centennial celebration. The Save the Fireworks/Centennial bash will be held at the Northport Yacht Club. There are a few seats still remaining, so if you would still like to attend, please call Carole Casamassima at 631-261-1895. It is going to be a great night with delicious food, music, awesome raffle prizes and great company. Looking forward to seeing you there.
Here is a copy of the pamphlet that our late resident Joan Hauser made for Asharoken's Diamond Jubilee. It provides a short history of the Village up to the year 2000 that is a fun, interesting read. I hope you enjoy it.
The Osprey are popping up here and there but have yet to fully return for the summer. I have seen three birds so far with the first on the March 22nd.
I wish you a great weekend,
Mayor Dr. Gregory Letica
