Bill > J00777

This resolution commends Joseph Barbagallo for his 15 years of dedicated service to the New Hyde Park Fire Department, highlighting his commitment to community safety and heroic firefighting efforts. The resolution recognizes Barbagallo's journey from joining the department in July 2010 to serving as Deputy Chief and Chief from January 2020 through December 2024, while being an active member of Enterprise Engine Company 1. It emphasizes the broader heroism of firefighters, who selflessly respond to emergencies ranging from fires to natural disasters, and acknowledges Barbagallo's exceptional dedication to helping others and serving his community. The legislative body formally pauses to honor Barbagallo's service, specifically in conjunction with his special recognition at the 115th Annual Installation-Inspection Dinner on May 10, 2025, at the Crescent Beach Club in Bayville, New York, and resolves to transmit an official, engrossed copy of the resolution to Chief Barbagallo as a formal tribute to his distinguished service.
