GC East Nominating Committee Supports Mark Hyer for Trustee

The independent Garden City East Nominating Committee has voted to support the nomination at the January 2019 Resident Electors’ meeting of Mark Hyer for the position of Village Trustee from the East for a two-year term commencing in April 2019. The vote was unanimous with 4 members absent and not voting.

Nominating Committee members who interviewed Trustee Hyer were impressed with his command of matters affecting the East and the Village as well as the many hours he devotes to his trustee position. He currently serves on the Board of Police Commissioners and the Committee to Fill Vacancies on Boards and Commissions and was previously the Chairperson of the Traffic Commission and a representative of the Finance and Audit Committee.

Mr. Hyer spent just over 20 years with the New York City Police Department, where his assignments included managerial positions in law enforcement and administration and where he developed hands-on practical skills in union issues, personnel supervision, operations management, budgeting, purchasing, contract review and construction oversight.

After retiring from the NYPD with the rank of Sergeant, Mr. Hyer has held several positions in the private sector, including nine years as the Director of Security, Telecommunications and Transportation for Forest Hills Hospital within the North Shore/Long Island Jewish Health System. He is currently a consultant for a security/emergency management company specializing in emergency preparedness training.

As Mr. Hyer indicated, “During my first two year term on the Board of Trustees, I have learned a lot about how our village operates and what it takes to be an effective trustee. There is still a tremendous amount of work to be done and I look forward to working with our residents for the next two years to make our village the best possible place to live, work, and raise a family.”

Additional proposals for nomination as a Village Trustee may be made by petition filed with the Corporate Secretary of the Eastern Property Owners’ Association (“EPOA”) at least 30 days prior to the January electors’ meeting and signed by not less than 15 resident electors. Any nominating petition so filed shall, in addition, set forth the residence addresses of the signers, the names and addresses of the persons proposed for nomination for Village offices and the offices for which they are proposed.

The Resident Electors’ meeting will be held on January 15, 2019, at the Senior Center on Golf Club Lane. The Corporate Secretary of the EPOA is Jonathan Debrich. His address is 90 Huntington Road, Garden City.
