OBA Coronavirus Update 5/14/2020
May 14, 2020
As we transition from NY Pause to NY Forward, we would like to update our Ocean Beach residents.
Suffolk and Nassau Counties, including Fire Island, will be able to move forward together based on how they meet the seven criteria that Governor Cuomo has established for each region to achieve.
At this time, Long Island is achieving four of seven criteria; we are still missing the required metric for new hospitalizations, sustained decline in hospital deaths and contact tracing. Steve Bellone, the Suffolk County Executive, and his team project that our region will meet all seven criteria on or about May 25 and will begin the re-opening process then. Construction, agriculture, retail – curbside pickup only, and manufacturing are included in Phase 1.
Phase 2 which would potentially kick in around June 8 would include retail – instore shopping, professional services, and real estate. Phase 3 would be around June 22 and would include restaurants. Finally, phase 4 would be another two weeks later including Education and Arts. All of these openings would be under guidelines that have yet to be published by the Governor’s Office. All of this is subject to change obviously based on our response to the Coronarivus.
Additionally, low risk activities have been approved to resume statewide, but details have not yet been provided including tennis, landscaping/gardening, drive in movies and more.
Community leaders and elected officials from all Fire Island communities continue to work closely with the Suffolk County Executive and his team, representatives from the Towns of Islip and Brookhaven, FINS, the FIA, the Fire Island emergency response teams, Suffolk County PD, to identify and strategize the actions that need to be taken to re-open Fire Island in particular. In addition to all of the general concerns we are aware of, Fire Island has specific challenges with beaches, and ferry service.
As previously mentioned, there is a specific Summer/Beaches Opening committee established by Steve Bellone as well as a Fire Island specific sub-committee. These committees are expected to share their recommendations on May 18 for discussion and approval by our county and state leaders.
Driving permits from FINS have been extended through May 22 for contractors and year round residents.
(Year rounders have limited additional driving capabilities through June 26.)
Ferries continue to be a major topic of concern; there are a lot of actions being taken to protect both the ferry crews and riders and we are recapping them here. Please note that taking the ferry is a choice you make and you need to understand the guidelines under which the ferries are operating. The Coast Guard determines guidelines for ferry operations and has NOT mandated any capacity reductions. Fire Island Ferries is doing more than is mandated in an effort to keep their crews and passengers safe, not because they have to, but because it is the right thing to do.
Ferry Update
Ferry crew are essential workers and should be treated as such with our utmost thanks and appreciation for continuing to provide ferry service to us during this frightening time.
Ferries are not required to adjust their capacity, but Fire Island Ferries has committed to do their best to limit their capacity to 50% or less. This has been achieved without exception so far this season. As the season progresses, FIF will adjust their schedules and equipment availability to accommodate increased passengers. For Memorial Day in particular, FIF will have equipment and crews available to handle high ridership as in the past. We all obviously hope this is not the case. Please use your best judgement in determining when to travel. At this time, with so many not working or working from home, it is probably best to avoid Friday and Sunday afternoons.
FIF is prepared to have Security on board ferries to OB and OBP on Memorial Day Weekend if needed.
A Public Address system has been installed at the Bay Shore Ferry Terminal and is streaming CDC information including wearing a mask/face covering and hand washing. Announcements can now also be made on board the ferries.
Passengers are required to wear a mask/face covering on the ferry. No mask, no ride. Passengers must keep them on at all times, so no eating or drinking on the ferry.
The West Terminal servicing Seaview and OBP is now open, so the Main Terminal is now servicing only Ocean Beach, Dunewood and Fair Harbor.
Ferry service directly to Seaview was added a few weeks ago.
Passengers must exercise social responsibility and socially distance while waiting to board.
Based on availability of equipment, ferries may be able to be boarded up to 30 minutes prior to departure time in Bay Shore.
Ocean Beach Guidance signs have been put at up at the Bay Shore Ferry Terminal to discourage any unaware visitors.
Ferries are being disinfected in Bay Shore between trips.
Restrooms are open at the Bay Shore Ferry Terminal.
Passenger freight can be dropped off at the freight house prior to 3:30 pm Monday through Saturday and up until the last ferry on Friday evening. Fire Island Ferries is looking to limit passenger baggage in order to allow for greater social distancing on board.
Passenger freight will accept a small cart, but with essentials and perishables only. Items such as cases of wine or water should be delivered to the freight house.
Water Taxis are available for cross bay service and usage has greatly increased.
Let us also share with you what is being done to ensure that potential visitors fully understand what our current status is on Fire Island and in Ocean Beach in particular so that they are encouraged to hold off on visiting until a later date. Here are the actions that have been taken to that end:
What Visitors can Expect in Ocean Beach – managing expectations!
Restaurants are not open for dine-in.
Bars are NOT open.
Hotels are not open.
Take out food and alcohol is available for at home consumption only.
Masks must be worn at all times in public in the Village of Ocean Beach including town, walks and beach.
No Smoking is allowed in public in Ocean Beach including town, walks and beach.
Limited ferry schedule.
Beaches are for passive use only – walking only, no swimming, no beach chairs, no coolers. No ball playing or other organized activities.
Transient Marina is closed.
Signage placed at Ferry Terminal in Bay Shore.
We will continue to provide reports to you on an ongoing basis.
Stay safe and healthy,

Village & OBA Update 5/5/2020
May 5, 2020
To: All Ocean Beach Residents
With so much still unknown and with our recent realization that the Downstate region, Long Island in particular, will most likely NOT be re-opening on May 15th, we thought it would be helpful to share with you some of the complex issues and potential solutions being discussed. Many of these decision points will be determined by Governor Cuomo and Suffolk County Steve Bellone. With that said, there will of course be some level of interpretation for Fire Island, and for Ocean Beach. Ocean Beach is working with all of the other communities on Fire Island to ensure a consistent response.
WE REALIZE THESE ARE NOT ANSWERS, BUT WANTED YOU TO KNOW THE MAGNITUDE AND COMPLEXITY OF THE DECISIONS TO BE MADE.
Here are the key categories of consideration:
1. We must ensure a consistent response across Fire Island to optimize our health and safety.
2. Beach Access – can we/should we limit access to our beaches to residents/taxpayers/business employees? Can we/should we limit activities? Will lifeguards be in place? Enforcement of social distancing? Hours of beach access?
3. Short term (weekly) rentals and AirBnB rentals – should we consider a longer minimum rental? Prohibit AirBnB and VRBO? Should we consider further limiting the number of unrelated people in a group house?
4. Bar/Restaurant Occupancy – will occupancy levels be reduced to allow for social distancing? What additional sanitizing/cleaning will be required? If restaurants are allowed to serve customers, will alcohol takeout be eliminated? What happens if an employee contracts Covid 19?
5. Ferry access/capacity/schedule – boarding/unboarding process to ensure social distancing, boat capacity, passenger baggage, schedule, additional freight services
6. Summer camp/ OBYG / other activities – will we have camps this summer? Any restrictions on age groups or activities? What about other planned activities such as softball and basketball leagues, concerts, etc?
7. Streets – how to ensure social distancing on our narrow streets? Weekends are major concern. Minimize cart use, eliminate trailer use
As decisions are made, and policy developed, we will communicate widely. We are all participating on multiple calls daily and working on many committees and task forces to strategize and resolve these urgent and very important issues.
Our absolute focus is on health and safety; we are also trying to balance the needs and concerns of our many stakeholders which are varied and often in conflict with each other.
Thank you for your patience during these turbulent times, and please stay safe.
Ocean Beach Mayor , Jimmy Mallott
Ocean Beach Association, President Maria Silsdorf
OBFD Chief, Ian Levine
OBPD Chief, George Hesse
EMS Captain, Dale Wyckoff

Coronavirus Update # 4
This past week, Governor Cuomo announced preliminary guidelines for re-opening by region and county as we get closer to May 15th. All are anxiously awaiting new guidance. Cuomo has said that re-opening the Downstate NY area which includes NYC, and Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk Counties will be a coordinated effort with NJ and CT. Cuomo has also said that businesses will open in a phased approach, with construction and manufacturing reopening first, followed by a business by business approach that is based on a matrix of essential nature of business and vulnerability to the coronavirus.
Community leaders and elected officials from all Fire Island communities continue to work closely with the Suffolk County Executive and his team, representatives from the Towns of Islip and Brookhaven, FINS, the FIA, the Fire Island emergency response teams, Suffolk County PD, to identify and strategize the actions that need to be taken to re-open Fire Island.
Governor Cuomo is focused on “Reimagine New York” as we begin to explore the next phase or the “new normal” and Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone has established a Summer/Beaches Planning Workgroup to ensure a coordinated and consistent approach for all communities Ocean Beach is fortunate to be represented on this committee by Mayor Mallott, as well as other representatives from Fire Island, Islip and Suffolk including Angie Carpenter, Islip Town Supervisor and Ocean Beach resident, Mayor Zaccaro of Saltaire, Suzy Goldhirsch of FIA and Vern Henrickson, Fire Island Emergency Services Coordinator. Today, it was announced that there will be a separate sub-group focused on the unique challenges Fire Island presents.
Our message has not changed: We can not tell you not to go to your home on Fire Island at this time, but we strongly urge you to stay at your primary residence off the island. If you do plan to travel to Fire Island, please be sure you have self isolated for 14 days prior to your trip, and then plan to self isolate for another 14 days once on island. We are trying to discourage day and weekend visits.
There is a lot of information to share, so here goes:
Most importantly, our goal is to keep each other safe. Masks should be worn, social distancing should be maintained and alcohol cannot be consumed in public. If you see these basic rules being violated, please call the OBPD at 631-583-5866 in Ocean Beach. For other communities, please call 311 from a landline or 631-852-COPS from a cellphone. You may also call the Suffolk County Marine Bureau at 631-854-8382.
Covid 19 cases: One case has been reported by the Mayor of Saltaire. The patient is a sub-contractor who travelled to Fire Island by car, and who has now been quarantined on the mainland for 12 days. No other cases have been reported for Fire Island.
Beaches:
As per NY state executive order: Beaches are currently open for “passive use” only which means no swimming and no public restrooms. OB Lifeguards are expected to be in place for Memorial Day weekend, although we do not yet know what activities will be allowed and there will be new protocol to ensure social distancing. There will be new protocol for lifeguards and extensive training will be required. The various lifeguard groups across Fire Island are coordinating with each other and with county and state experts.
Medical Advisory Committee:
If you are a senior, or have an underlying medical condition, please seriously consider if Fire Island will be the best place for you. Northwell Clinics are currently planned to open Memorial Day weekend, however, based on the situation on the mainland, doctors may NOT be available to man these offices. We will see. Other doctor offices are also being re-evaluated. Helicopters will not handle Covid 19 patients.
Fire Island National Seashore:
Plans to have essential workers begin mid-May and seasonal workers at a later date. FINS is currently planning lifeguard services to begin July 4th weekend. This is obviously subject to change. Sailor’s Haven is expected to open on May 9th.
Fire Island Ferries:
Please note that Suffolk County is responsible for permitting and fees for ferry transportation. The Coast Guard is responsible for operations. The Coast Guard has not and is not expected to require social distancing on the ferry. Also, Governor Cuomo’s Executive Order specifically stated that social distancing may not be achievable on transportation.
A new schedule is in effect as of this Saturday, May 2nd Until Further Notice. Seaview begins service this Saturday as well.
Effective last Friday, April 17th, all ferry riders are required to wear a face mask or mouth and nose covering. Masks will not be provided and those not wearing face coverings will NOT be allowed to board. Masks are to be kept on at all times.
Freight on the passenger boats is a major concern and passenger baggage will be curtailed. The new schedule includes the notice that there is a new passenger cargo policy effective May 22nd. All non-essential items must now be shipped on the freight boat. Essential items are personal effects and perishables. Large wagons and large carts will not be accepted on passenger boats. Also, passengers will be limited to one trip through the gate. Additional freight boats may be necessary for passenger freight.
Social distancing is our responsibility. Maintain distance while waiting to board and unboarding, while on the ferry and choose your seat wisely. Water Taxis are available for hire, although passenger limits may be in effect.
Freight:
Please maintain social distancing while picking up freight. Contact Fire Island Ferries directly to confirm freight hours. ( If your package is not at freight, please also check the Post Office.)
Ferry Tickets:
Homeowner ferry ticket books can be picked up at the Village Office on Wednesdays only from 9 AM – 2 PM. Saturday hours will soon be added – please check the VOB website for updates. The USPS is not currently getting signatures on deliveries so the VOB is not willing to mail outside Ocean Beach at this time. They are only willing to mail to the Ocean Beach Post Office – either a PO Box or General Delivery.
Marina:
Mayor Mallott provided this guidance:
Transient marina is not open at this time.
Homeowners marina is open to permit holders only. Any homeowners using the marina should please advise OBPD.
Municipal marinas, according to Suffolk County Executive Bellone, are under the authority of the individual municipalities.
Store and Restaurant Update:
Ocean Beach Hardware is now open as is The Pantry. Maguire’s will be opening on May 7th for takeout.
Seaview Market continues to be open and is filling orders and delivering via Water Taxi to the western communities. CJs is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday and Castaway is open Friday through Tuesday for takeout only.
Scoops is now offering 8 flavors of ice cream for takeout from Castaway. Island Mermaid/Dockside is open on weekends with takeout/delivery. At this time, the mainland supermarkets are not consistently delivering to Fire Island.
Construction:
Construction is now limited to one worker per jobsite. Village infrastructure and safety or hazard mitigation work may be allowed to have additional workers with prior approval.
Courtesy Cart:
Is not available at this time.
FIMI:
The FIMI project is considered “essential”, so once the barges return to OBP and POW, this work is expected to begin again. Equipment is arriving in OBP this weekend and barges are expected May 5th – 6th.
The Fire Island School is closed as per the Governor’s order. The Ocean Beach Village Office remains closed with employees working remotely as per the Governor’s order. The Post Office is open.

OBA Coronavirus Update
Another week has passed, and NY Pause is still in effect through May 15. Downstate New York continues to be the epicenter of the Covid 19 outbreak including NYC, Suffolk and Nassau. Suffolk County has experienced significant growth in the number of cases and deaths in recent weeks.
Your elected officials and community leaders from Ocean Beach and across Fire Island are continuing to work together and closely with Suffolk County, FINS, our emergency response team and others to address the current situation and begin to strategize the future.
