The Tax Roll and Warrant for the Fiscal year 2026-2027, ending May 31, 2027 has been delivered to the Village Treasurer and Village Clerk of the Village of Asharoken for the purpose of collecting taxes. Village Taxes are due on or before July 1.
Any payments received after July 1 will be subject to a 5% penalty, plus an additional 1% for every month thereafter.
Linda and I wish you a very happy Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of summer.
Please take a moment to honor those fallen Americans who gave their lives to make all of the freedoms we enjoy possible.
Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. I also thank all active military personnel and veterans for your service to our country.
The Village of Northport has a very moving parade and ceremony on Monday, May 25th that I encourage you to attend. Wreaths are laid at all of the war memorials along main street and a ceremony follows in the park. The parade begins at 10am.
Last week the first horseshoe crabs returned to the Village. I found many of them mating along the bayside shore line. Horseshoe crab eggs are a significant food source for migrating shore birds. As of today, I have seen 96 species of birds in the Village so far in 2026, which is about average. The spring migration season is winding down so the list will unlikely grow until the fall.
I hope you have a great holiday weekend,
Mayor Dr. Gregory Letica

Dear Neighbors:
Recently, several users accessing the Village website from mobile devices have had intermittent issues when clicking links. Specifically, clicking/pressing links that used to automatically open in a new tab or window may now seem unresponsive.
This problem has arisen due to recent software updates rolled out by Apple and others. It is not due to the Village website itself. These updates are in fact causing difficulties for the users of many websites worldwide.
If you experience this issue, a "long press" on a link — that is, pressing and holding the link — should now properly open it. Depending on your exact device or software version, you may go directly to the link, or a menu may appear where you can select "Open in New Tab" or similar to arrive at the link.
Regards,
Eric Maffei

Dear Neighbors:
I wish all the moms, grandmothers and great-grandmothers a fabulous Mother's Day. It's your day to kick back, be pampered and recognized for all you do to make our lives such a joy. Enjoy your special day!
At the May 5th Board Meeting, Carole Casamassima and Linda Letica donated a total of $13,000 to support the Asharoken July 4th fireworks display. The details are included in my Mayor's report from the meeting below.
I thank Carole, Linda, Kerry Kruckle, Christine Cappy and Meg Cleary for their hard work to raise these funds. In addition, I thank all of the residents who donated. Just this month the Village received two additional donations totaling $1,250 to add to the $13,000. Without your support it would be very difficult to carry on with what has become an Asharoken tradition. Thanks so much!
In my ongoing effort to keep you informed of events in the Village, here is my Mayor's Report from the May 5th Board meeting.
Because the NYS budget has not been finalized, the Village has no guidance on its request for seawall funding from Governor Hochul. The Village has also submitted funding requests to Senator Chuck Schumer, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, and Congressman Nick LaLota. I will update you when new information is received.
I had several conversations with the US Army Corps of Engineers regarding their evaluation of the sand placed on the beach by National Grid last fall. Unfortunately, they still have not completed their report. As soon as that becomes available, I will let you know.
As I have mentioned before, trees with ivy growing up their trunks will eventually be killed by the vines. Please identify any trees on your property that have ivy on them and cut the ivy stems at their base to kill the vines and save the trees. Old-growth trees are a priceless resource in the Village, and we should do all we can to preserve them.

The spring bird migration is underway. This week, a flock of about 20 Greater Yellowlegs — a large sandpiper — has been visiting the Village. Dee Lento, the Village photographer, took a terrific photo of a pair. The Piping Plovers are also back, but seemingly in small numbers. The NYS DEC has been walking the beach to identify any active plover nests. If they find one, they rope it off and provide an enclosure over the nest to protect the eggs from predators. Once the eggs are laid, it takes about three weeks for the chicks to hatch. If you end up with a nest on your beach, please embrace the process and support the efforts to save this endangered bird species.
Have a great weekend!
Mayor Dr. Gregory Letica
