New Hyde Park resident Peter Chimenti defeated 12-year incumbent Augustine Carnevale on Tuesday to gain a spot as commissioner on the board of the Garden City Park Fire and Water District. Chimenti received 246 votes to Carnevale’s 143. “I’m glad it was a nice cordial election,” Chimenti said. “I thank everyone for voting in spite of the weather.” Chimenti, who has served in the Garden City Park Fire Department for 34 years, said last week that he feels it is time for a change in the Garden City Park Fire and Water District. “It’s time to get new blood in there,” Chimenti said. Chimenti, who is a former Fire Chief of the Garden City Park Fire Department, said his background made him well qualified for the position. “My experience as a firefighter, my positions as a leader and manager, and my integrity, are the qualities needed to
be an effective commissioner,” Chimenti said. Chimenti retired from the NYPD as a sergeant in 2006 and now works for the MTA’s Department of Security as a special inspector. “I’m not naive to how businesses operate,” he said. Chimenti said during the campaign that he wants to scrutinize the way the district purchases new equipment. “I want to keep costs down while also buying the highest quality equipment,” he said. “I have a lot of new ideas to work with the district.” Carnevale, who has been commissioner for four terms acknowledged his defeat. “It was a good run,” Carnevale said. “Good luck to my opponent.” The Garden City Park Fire and Water District includes parts of Manhasset Hills, parts of New Hyde Park, parts of Mineola, parts of North Hills, parts of Roslyn, parts of Williston Park, parts of Albertson and parts of Garden City.
