Dear Resident,
COVID-19 Update
The number of COVID-19 cases in Thomaston remains low. It is
imperative that we continue to follow all precautionary measures to
keep the number of cases low in our Village. To that end we must
remember to practice the following safety measures:
With everyone’s cooperation, we can all stay safe.
2020 Census Reminder
It was brought to my attention that in 2010 our response rate
for the Census was 75%. Currently, our response rate for the
2020 Census is 65%. We can do better in 2020.
Please remember, the census only counts people, period. It has
nothing to do with whether you are a US citizen or not, a legal
resident or not, or a registered voter or not, it is just counts
people. Census data is confidential and cannot be used for any
other purpose or by any other government agency. The count
determines Thomaston's share of funding for any government service
we use and for our representation in Congress (the number of seats
in the House of Representatives).
Sincerely,
Steven Weinberg

April 29, 2020 Dear Resident, I am proud of how well our Village residents have adapted to
social distancing, wearing masks and being considerate in our
community. Thanks to you, by utilizing common sense precautions, so
far we've had a low rate of COVID-19 cases in Thomaston.
Following these recommended guidelines will help us keep it that
way. Among other things, the COVID-19 health crisis shows how critical
it is for all of us to be counted in the 2020 Census. Now,
more than ever, it is important to understand that all government
funding is calculated based upon population. If you haven't
done so already, please fill out your 2020 Census at http://My2020Census.gov or
by calling (844) 330-2020. Additional information about the
2020 Census is posted on the Village's website at
www.villageofthomaston.org. Thank you for partnership in the important matter. Sincerely, Steven Weinberg

Dear Resident,
Please do not be alarmed by the sound of sirens tonight.
On April 7th at 7:00 p.m., Nassau County Fire Departments, including
our our local departments, will sound their sirens to salute and
show appreciation for all the first responders and health care
providers on the frontlines in the battle against the coronavirus
pandemic. Everyone is encouraged to be at the front of their
homes to show their support by applauding and cheering.
Stay safe.
Sincerely,
Steven Weinberg |

April 3, 2020 Dear Resident, I want to remind everyone that the ban on public and private
gatherings remains in effect and is being enforced by the
Nassau County Police Department and Nassau County Fire Marshal. As the Passover and Easter holidays are approaching, I implore
you to resist the temptation to gather with family and friends to
celebrate the holidays. Only immediate household members who live in
the home may gather for any holiday celebration. In the
meantime, we still can still stay connected to family and friends
via phone, Facetime, Skype or other virtual methods. In the words of NYS Health Commissioner Howard Zucker,
'Let's stay apart for now, so that we can all be together later.' Stay safe. Sincerely,
|

March 27, 2020 Dear resident, All of the EMS services on Long Island are desperately trying to
get the word out that
ambulances
should only be called for absolute emergencies. This
will help minimize the risk of infecting and sidelining EMS workers,
so they may continue to protect the community members that
they serve, and to keep the hospitals from getting overwhelmed with
non-emergency cases. The Great Neck Vigilant Fire Company has issued the following
press release which is applicable to all ambulance services and 911
calls. Please take a moment to read this important
information. Thank you for your cooperation. Please stay safe. Steven Weinberg

2020 Village
Tax payments are due March 31st. A penalty is charged for all

The penalty is 5% for the month of April. An additional 1%
penalty is charged for each month thereafter.
The due date for Village
Tax payments is set by New York State Real Property Tax Law.
We have received several requests for an extension of the due date.
This matter has been brought to the attention of the Governor but,
to date, the deadline has not been changed. If this information
changes, it will be posted on the Village website at www.villageofthomaston.org.
Payments may be placed
through the mail slot at the Village Hall or mailed. If
mailing, envelopes postmarked before or on March 31st are accepted
as timely.
Please share this

March 19, 2020 Dear resident, We are posting COVID-19 related information, as it becomes
available, on the Village website at: http://www.villageofthomaston.org. Please check our website daily for updates, and encourage your
neighbors, if they are not already signed up to receive
notifications via Swift911, to do so now. The link to sign up
is on the Village website, at the bottom of the home page. Our
preference will be to reserve Swift911 for the most significant
announcements. Routine updates will be posted on our website
without a Swift911 notice. While everyone is practicing social distancing, please continue
to check on your family, friends and neighbors. For your
elderly neighbors and others who may be unable to leave their homes,
if they need something, perhaps you can help by dropping off
necessities at their door. If you do not have someone to help you,
please let us know so that we may attempt to connect you with
someone in the community that may be able to assist. Thank you and stay safe. Sincerely, Steven Weinberg |

March 17, 2020 Dear Resident, In an effort to keep New Yorkers safe during the COVID-19
pandemic, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo issued an executive order
delaying village elections statewide until the April 28 primary

from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Village Hall. Thank you, Denise M. Knowland

March 16, 2020 Dear Resident, I am just letting you know that Governor Cuomo has directed all
restaurants, bars, gyms, theaters, and casinos in the State of New
York to close, effective 8:00 p.m. tonight and until further notice.
Restaurants and bars will be allowed to provide take out and
delivery of food and beverages only. In addition, the Governor
has stated that no gatherings of more than 50 people may take place
until further notice. This order includes private gatherings
as well as public gatherings. Respectfully, in your house or
apartment, you may wish to consider a substantially smaller number,
if you are having friends or family over. The Governor added that
grocery stores, gas stations, pharmacies, and medical offices may
remain open. At this time, the Village Hall will remain open via phone at
(516) 482-3110 and email at
clerk@villageofthomaston.org.
We are limiting in-person visits, so please call prior to coming
down to the Village Hall. I will continue to provide updates on new orders and
recommendations on how to contain the spread of the virus as the
information becomes available. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, Steven Weinberg |
