Mayor Zegarelli read the notice of hearing to consider a proposed law to amend Section 57-45 of the General Code "Unloading of autocarrying trucks or trailers prohibited; penalty" and asked if there was anyone present who -.vould like to address the Board on the proposed law. Before hearing comments, Mayor Zegarelli acknowledged receipt of several communications from William Barron, Principal of the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns dated January 21stj copy of a memo to Mr. Blueglass from John McCleary, Director of Athletics; and a two page letter from Murray Blueglass, Supt, of Schools to the Mayor & Board of Trustees dated January 24th in opposition to the proposed law. Mr. Howard Porty, Assistant Supt^ of Schools, speaking in behalf of Supt. Blueglass, stated that a safety hazard exists for the children attending schools. He stated that the unloading of cars blocks the view of buses coming out of the school entrance north bound. He stated that children do not always cross at Depeyster Street and drivers do not see the children, and urged that the Board not allow unloading in front of the school. He stated that it was unsafe for children. Mr. James Downey, North Broadway, stated that he lives across the street from the unloading site. He stated that .the drivers unload at 7 A.M. and make an excessive amount of noise. Mr. Frandsen stated that some time ago, the Board allowed him permission to have his cars unloaded in front of his showroom and would not like to lose this privilege. He stated that it would be unfair for them to go up that far. He stated that they have been unloading on the sidewalk, but the police feel that they are blocking traffic. �-2Trustee DiFelice stated that if he blocks the sidewalk, he will have to unload in the designated area, otherwise, the driver will be ticketed. Trustee DiFelice stated that the police department has had many problems with the school. Students run wild all over the grass and the school was forced to erect a fence around the Paulding school. T] were requested to continue the fence along the high school area, but the repeated'•jails were left unheeded, said Trustee DiFelice.

The school cannot handle the students There is no blockage of view, he said. Chief Spota investigated the area and reported that there is no problem, said Trustee DiFelice. Trustee Lobato stated that this is the first time this has been brought up and suggested that the matter be referred to the Board. He stated that the point of Mr. Frandsen seems to be a workable solution. Mr. George Kahn, Tappan Motors, stated that he has been using the area for about six weeks and believed that it is working out very well If it is in the best interest of the community, he said, this is the best place, He stated that as far as safety is concerned, he had no calls of any safety problems. The crossing guard has not complained, he said. ] A woman spectator stated that after she had left her daughter off] at the school, coming back on Broadway, she almost had an accident ( because of the unloading of cars in front of Frandsenfs which were parked on route 9. Trustee Soriano stated that people come from all points. When I they come, they have to have a place to deliver, He stated that the area for delivery is 100 ft. in length. Trustee DiFelice stated that there should be no unloading before 8:00 A.M. according to the Local Law. He will have the police check on this, he said, No other comments, Trustee Gandolfo moved, seconded by Trustee Soriano that the hearing be closed, Carried, It was recommended that the proposed law be referred to the Board as a committee and report at the next meeting. Miss Deirdre Lovecky stated that she thought the question of parking permits for 1 Riverside Drive was settled and asked what the problem was concerning them. Trustee Maceyak explained his understanding whereby each family would receive onesticker for $1, They could purchase an additional sticker for $12 which would allow them to park in the commuter area. Anottoer-sticker to park in front of 1 Riverside Drive would cost $1, also. �syr -3Trustee DiFelice stated that there are 14 spaces and no one would be out a parking space. He stated that they would purchase a sticker for #1 Riverside Drive and it would be their option to purchase the $12 sticker to park up from their building. Following a discussion, Trustee Lobato moved, seconded by Trustee Soriano that residents of 1 Riverside Drive will have the option to purchase a parking sticker for each vehicle on a first come first serve basis and the sticker will entitle them to park at 1 Riverside Drive in the area in front of 1 Riverside Drive that is reserved exclusively for residents of 1 Riverside Drive, and the Village will offer for sale a maximum of 14 stickers. Trustee Lobato amended the motion that additionally, the residents of 1 Riverside Drive may purchase the $12 commuter parking stickers at their option, seconded by Trustee Soriano. On the amendment, motion carried. On the motion as a whole, carried, ^-REPORTS OF COMMITTEES ADMINISTRATION & CONSTRUCTION Trustee Soriano stated that he is terribly dissatisfied with the liaison the Village is having with its architect on the construction of the new Village garage. He stated that he heard over the weekend that the lift is not the proper lift for the trucks. He stated that at the very first work session, he was told by the Mayor not to interfere and speaking for himself, he adhered to the policy. He stated that he cannot see the delays that we have been having, as well as the improper lift. Someone should pay for the delay, said Trustee Soriano. The building inspector cannot accept the building because some of the specifications have not been adhered to. Trustee Maceyak moved, seconded by Trustee Gandolfo that the dedication of the Village garage for Saturday, the 29th, be postponed. On an inquiry from Trustee DiFelice as to why no legal action has been taken, Trustee Lobato stated that the Village Attorney does not take any action unless ordered to do so by the Board.

LABOR RELATIONS Trustee Lobato stated that he received a letter from the North Tarrytown PBA signed by the Chairman requesting negotiations be commet Their contract expires in May, he said, He stated that he is asking t Board to authorize the labor relations committee to commence negotiati with the PBA. �sy^ 5- Mayor Zegarelli stated that the Board should make suggestions and meet first before the meeting with the PBA. Trustee Lobato stated that if anyone has any specific suggestions to let him or any committee member know. Trustee Lobato stated that recently we had a situation whereby the CSEA made a charge of unfair labor practices against the Village for discussing with the foremen the possibility of them having individual contracts with the Village. As a result, we apologized for meeting with the foremen. During our subsequent investigation, we discovered that the job titles which were used to stipulate the negotiating unit were those taken from the payrolls, said Trustee Lobato. Those payrolls incorrectly showed the foremen as assistant foremen. During several past meetings of the Board, resolutions were adopted appointing the assistant foremen either working foreman or water and sewer foreman. The labor relations committee was not in error in meeting with the foremen since they were not in the stipulated negotiating unit. Trustee Lobato moved, seconded by Trustee Maceyak that the Village Attorney be instructed to contact PERB to have the bargaining unit amended so that the three foremen, Hercules Shubrick, Michael Apollonio and Manuel Cappello are not stipulated by North Tarrytown to be members of the bargaining unit.

I would also at this time correct many fallacies concerning this Board and the previous Board as reported in the Local Press concerning, divided Boards, constant bickering etc. between Zegarelli, Malandrino, Cavalieri, White, Timmings, Gandolfo, DiFelice and Soriano. These are the accomplishments of this Republican dominated administration going back to Mayors McBride in 1978 and Mayor Zegarelli from 1979 to date. Obviously I will neglect some of the accomplishments as I kept no written diary. Others may add them if they so desire. The Republican Majority Committees and their accomplishments follow: Police: Appointment of Chief Spota, Lieut. James Brophy, Det. Sgt. Carmen DiFalco, four other Sgts, creation of a youth officer program and creation of a Canine Patrol. Purchased a motor scooter for enforcement of parking ordinances. Responsible for many thousands of dollars in revenue. Added several vehicles to the Motor Pool. Most consistent law enforcement in history of Village. Public Works: Created unified D.P.W. for greater productivity under Superintendent John Biros. Most roads repaired or rebuilt in modern times, rebuilt Dell Street, constructed gabion wall, also rebuilt wall to prevent erosion and rebuilt cul-de-sac, stopped erosion by re-directing flow of Pocantico River. Improved custodial staff for better maintenance of Village buildings. Major repairs to Municipal Building and grounds. Construction of modern D.P.W. facility on Pviver St. Purchased new rolling stock, etc. Rebuilt aging drainage system. Finance - Government Relations: Tremendous grants under CD.A. and urban County. Master Plan and refacing Beekman Ave. many other building improve ments. Planted many trees for a more beautiful vista through the heart of our Village. Dredged Fremont Pond with support from taxpayers in the area for a considerable piece of money, making it a truly co-operative project. Received a sizeable grant to start off-street parking, beginning with Elm St. and Hudson St. already in progress. Established a Purchasing Agent for greater control of spending and inventories. Adjusted salaries of administrative officers and staff to a parity with surrounding communities. Best Senior Citizen Program in County. Recreation: Responsible for better programs including Day Camp and many diversified programs, including Senior Citizens, Teen Center, field trips etc. Major improvements to Douglas Park, controlled erosion, improved drainage, new equipment.

Much new equipment and many cultured programs including music, dances etc. Fire: New Apparatus. Modern ambulance corps, safety squad, lates equipment, better maintenance of Firehouse. Recommendations to New Board. Continue utilization of all spaces in Municipal Bldg., continue to seek aid to finance elevator. Continue exploring Hudson River frontage for a park, boat landing and a boat launching site. Complete parking lots with our own D.P.W. with aid from consultants, engineer for elevations and grade lines etc. Recommend a full time Youth Officer. Recommend with no indictment or �-2- admonishment of Poll takers and inspectors for a closer watch at polling places. Due to late rush in many districts as many as 40 peopl didn't sign the register. No charge of irregularity but should be more carefully monitored. Many simple mathematical errors in books, actualll these are not official only printout is officed. But in a close election could cause a challenge. I Having said all this, I congratulate all winners and wish the new administration a smooth transition and God Speed. To Trustees Gandolfo and DiFelice, I say stay well and keep in toucfc with the affairs of North Tarrytown. Goodbye to All and good health.

I 'i 1 Respectfully submitted, ^tfbat^^fa Filomena Fallacaro Clerk f'^vwaqp^ggp, *tppv �7 MMMhMMMdBaa MEMORANDUM DATE: APRIL 4th, 1983 The purpose of this Memorandum will be to clarify the various right and responsibilities of the Mayor and the Board of Trustees in the selection of the Village Attorney for the Village of North Tarrytown. • • X - * " . Village Law 4-400 of the State of New York provides as follows: • Section 4-400. Mayor. 1. It shall be the responsibility of the Mayor;... to appoint all department and non-elected officers and "employees subject to the approval to the Board of Trustees.... Clearly, the appointing power of the position of Village Attorney i the prerogative of the Mayor of the Village. The Office of the Attorney General, the Chief Legal Officer for New York State, has ruled specifically on this point. In an opinion dated June 28th, 1979 to the Village Attorney of the Village of Chittenango, the Attorney General's office stated as follows: "Village Law Section 4-400 (1)(c) makes the appointment of a Village Attorney a Mayor's appointment subject only to approval by the Board of Trustees. However, the Village Mayor alone ha; the power to remove the Village Attorney, and such power is not subject either to consent or approval by the Board of Trustees (1974 Att'y Gen [Inf Opns] 204)." \. �The position of Village Attorney is as an employee ot :the Villa* and in the exempt class of civil service (1974 Atty Gen [Inf Opns] i Employment in that class of the civil service "is at the will of appointing officer or agency and employment continues until terminal appointment of a successor, or by the removal of the employee by the appointing authority, or by resignation, or by some similar causes (j Atty Gen [Inf Opns] 224). The fact that custom or resolution or order making an appointing specifies a termination date is irrelevant (1974 Atty Gen [Inf Ophs] 19742d Opn). In the opinion of the Attorney General's office, the Village Bb of Trustees, therefore, does not have the power to remove the Villa Attorney, who holds his position through appointment by the Mayor consequently any resolution of the Board of Trustees that the Villac Attorney be terminated with no salary or benefits is ineffective to remove the Village Attorney, and that portion of the resolution elifj ing benefits or salary cannot be operative because it is an attempt accomplish indirectly that which the Village Board of Trustees is less to do directly. On August 5th, 1977 the response to an inquiry in the Village Larchmont, the Attorney General's office again issued an opinion the consistent with its subsequent opinion in 1979. Attorney General's office stated as follows: In that opinion, tM "This office issued at �// informal opinion report in 1974 Op Atty Gen 204 in which we stated the Village Attorney is a Village employee (as distinguished from a Village Officer and as such does not have the right of tenure under the Civil Service Law nor any right to a hearing on charges and specifications before being discharged; we also gave our opinion that as the appointment of a Village Attorney under Village Law Section 4-400(1)(c) is a Mayor's appointment subject only to approval by the Board of- . '' ' f Trustees, the Mayor alone has the power to remove the Village -Attorney' and this power is not subject to consent or approval by the Board of Trustees," In another informal opinion of this office reported in 1974 Op Att Gen 164, we gave our opinion that employees in the unclassified service or exempt class of civil service hold their positions at the will of'the appointing agency and the employment continues until terminated by a subsequent appointment or by removal and also that the fact that the resolution order making an appointment of an employee specifies a termin tion date- of employment is irrelevant to the question of continuation of employment beyond the specified termination.date. • In our opinion, if your Village Attorney has not been resigned or been removed by the Mayor, or has not been succeeded by a new appointee to that position, the Village Attorney continues in that employment and is entitled to pay for that position; however, if the Mayor voted, affirmatively on a motion to declare the position of Village Attorney to be vacant that would be tantamount to removal of the Village Attorney by �I* i -*"*tij i -*—in-* n * - - - ' • - - - *.*--.-* ^ — ISHMlfl t-\ the Mayor. Hi - 8 1983 The position is then vacant and the Attorney is not ent to receive any salary for the period subsequent to the resolution.1 In earlier opinions, the Attorney General's office again spoke this issue. On August 6thf 1974 the Attorney General's office rendj the following opinion: "The appointment of a Village Attorney is a Mayor's appointment subject to approval by the Board of Trustees bui Village Mayor alone has the power to remove the Village Attorney "anj power is not subject to consent or approval by the Board of Trusteei With respect to the Village of North Tarrytown, the Village At is an employee? he is appointed by the Mayor subject to the appro\ the Board of Trustees; his term runs from the date of his original appointment and approval of the Board of Trustees; he can be remoV only if his position is declared vacant by the Mayor;, or any of th other conditions previously stated in the opinions of the Attorney General. Therefore, your present attorney remains as Village Attorn need not be reappointed. I It is worth noting that the Village Attorney, as an employee,\ covered as an exempt class of civil servant pursuant to the Civil Sf Law of the State of New York. In that regard he is entitled as an employee to the protections provided by Section 80 of the Civil Sen Law and the additional protections provided by Sections 85 and 86 oi i* ! ! �/3 • \u\x&M&amaimmammmmccm*winm i mewrn imr.'.wii'ij' i',vi ,...""••'« fltiwtt1. H W W TIWMWUWPTBWMJBCBil Civil Service Law providing fo£ a preference for honorably discharged• veterans. Your attorney in the Village of North Tarrytown is therefore covered as an exempt employee under the Civil Service Law of the State o New York and, as an honorably discharged veteran within the meaning of the Civil Service Law of the State of New York, is entitled to those preferences available to all civil servants.

Communication to the Chief from Marion Rainey thanking the police and ambulance corps for their aid when Mr, Rainey was experiencing breathing difficulty was read and placed in their files, UNFINISHED BUSINESS Trustee Timmings stated that the Board voted to have representation of an attorney pending legal action. He stated that he understands that some members of the Board met with the attorney last week. He was not invited to that meeting. If more than three members of the Board did attend, it constituted a quorum and therefore, effects Village business. Trustee Lobato stated that any time you get four Trustees together is not necessarily a quorum - they were not certainly conducting Village business, he said. As to the meeting, he said that they are at odds with the Mayor. They were not conducting Village business; they were seeking legal Counsel and legal representation. The Mayor and Trustee Timmings have taken a position contrary to the majority of this Board. It would be an invasion of our rights to confer in confidence with an attorney if Timmings were to attend,-he said. If Timmings truly was at odds with the Mayor and supported the position we take as to our right to abolish the Village office of Village attorney, then he would have been invited. He stated that Timming's behavior at this meeting and failure to participate and cast a vote upholds the Mayor's position that he can unilaterally cut off voting on motions or making motions. The Board members met to formulate what their rights are in this matter, said Trustee Lobato. The representation by Counsel was for those Trustees who seek the aid of Counsel, Mr. Abinanti, because of a dispute with the Mayor, he said. �-14Mayor Zegarelli stated that you hired him as a Board and willful did not include Trustee Timmings. He stated that under the authority provided by law, asked for the retention of Arthur Olick who will act on his behalf in the matter at Village expense. Trustee Timmings stated that he does not have authorized legal representation and requested the services of Counsel. • Trustee Maceyak moved that those who are in agreement with the position of Mayor be represented by Counsel at Village expense and ) those who are not in agreement with the Mayor's position be represent! by Thomas Abinanti at Village expense, seconded by Trustee Lobato. Carj Following a discussion as to who will represent the Mayor and Trustee Timmings, Trustee Timmings moved,seconded by Trustee Lobato that they be represented by Counsel also at Village expense. Carried Trustee Lofaro stated that Mr. Quinn. informed him that he has <, still not received payment for boarding up the Pickwick Post restaural Trustee Timmings stated that if a Village official acting in his; capacity asked Mr. Quinn to board up the Pickwick Post, the Village * should pay the bill and institute a tax lien against the property, if, legal. Mayor Zegarelli agreed that the contractor ususally gets paid an lien is placed on the property. Trustee Lofaro moved that Mr. Quinn be paid and that proper lega remedies be instituted, seconded by Trustee Timmings. Trustee Buonanno amended the motion to pay Mr. Quinn and retain Janet Gandolfo as Counsel to represent the Village, seconded by Trustee Lobato. Mayor Zegarelli ruled the amendment out-of-order stating that it was in contravention of the law as stated previously, .Trustee Maceyak appealed the decision of the Chair, seconded by Trustee Lobato. Mayor Zegarelli stated that he does not recognize the motion and that the Treasurer is empowered to handle this without any expense an without the use of a lawyer. Trustee Buonanno stated that a motion is on the floor that has In amended and called for a vote.

Section 64 (II) permits the designation of "any" newspaper published in a city or village in an adjoining county if such newspaper has a circulation in the town. In summary, it is our opinion that: 1. A Pennysaver-type circular may not be designated the official town newspaper. " 2. Provided all statutory criteria are met, a newspaper published in Pennsylvania may be designated the town's official newspaper. . 3. It is not necessary for the town, in choosing a newspaper published outside the county, to designate the paper having the greatest circulation in the town. Dated: June 28, 1979 Hon. Charles P. Ayers, Jr. Town Attorney, Towns of Tioga, Newark Valley, and Berkshire 4 : \ VILLAGE LAW, § 4-400 (1) (c) i:?v ' • A village board of trustees does not have the power to remove a £1 ^^£/i;_ village attorney who holds his position through appointment by the '-& ^^^T-: mayor and, consequently, a resolution of a board of trustees that the village attorney "be terminated with no benefits or salary as of April 1,1979," is ineffective to remove the village attorney, and the portion of the resolution eliminating benefits or salary cannot be operative because it is an attempt to accomplish indirectly that which the village board of trustees is powerless to do directly. h'.- We acknowledge receipt of your letter inquiring whether you are 'still the Village Attorney of the Village of Chittenango. The following : .V facts have been presented to us bearing upon this question. You were appointed Village Attorney on April 3, 1978 by the Village Mayor and the appointment was approved by the Village Board of Trustees, and commencing on that date you were the Village Attorney. On April 2, 1979, the same Mayor, who had been reelected, again appointed you Village Attorney. You had not resigned from that position and had not been removed by the Mayor, and prior to the Mayor's appointment he had not attempted to appoint anyone -. ^' else. The Village Board of Trustees refused to approve the Mayor's appointment of you to the position of Village Attorney on April 2, 1979. Following this refusal, a motion was made and carried and it is 177 �recited in the minutes of the meeting that you, as Village Attorney, "be terminated with no benefits or salary as of April I, 1979." Vitlage Law, § 4-400 (1) (c) makes the appointment of a village attorney a mayor's appointment, subject only to approval by the Board of trustees. However, the village mayor alone has the power to remove the village attorney and such power is not subject either to consent or approval by the board of trustees (1974 Atty Gen (Inf Opns) 204). The position of village attorney is as an employee of the village and in the exempt class of the civil service (1974 Atty Gen [Inf Opns] 204). Employment in that class of the civil service is at the will of the appointing officer or agency, and employment continues until terminated by appointment of a successor or by removal of the employee by the appointing authority or by resignation or from other similar causes (1977 Atty Gen [Inf Opns] 224). The fact that custom or the resolution or order making an appointment specifies a termination date is irrelevant (1974 Atty Gen [Inf Opns] 164, 2d opn). In our opinion, the Village Board of Trustees does not have the power to remove the Village Attorney, who holds his position through appointment by the Mayor, and, consequently, the resolution of the Board of Trustees that the Village Attorney "be terminated with no benefits or salary as of April 1, 1979," is ineffective to remove the Village Attorney, and the portion of the resolution eliminating benefits or salary cannot be operative because it is an attempt to accomplish indirectly that which the Village Board of Trustees is powerless to do directly. In our opinion, you are still the Village Attorney and you are entitled to the benefits or salary of. that position. Dated: June 28, 1979 -& -S '.r •*• ~ * ." ,v •• K Hon. Peter J.

Carriec" • At this time, Mayor Zegarelli asked how the Board proposed to proceed and was answered by Trustee Lobato as we usually conduct the meeting. » Mayor Zegarelli stated that he will conduct the meeting and noted his displeasure and fact that the minutes as submitted were rejected for as far as he could see, no cause. Mayor Zegarelli read the following statement: [ i I I I "Today, a petition on behalf of the people of North Tarrytown and J myself as Mayor, was filed with the Supreme Court of the State of New j York in order to end the unwarranted stalemate between certain members i of the Village Board and its chief executive. Despite repeated efforts S to resolve this situation arising from the Mayor's lawful authority to appoint the Village attorney and the Village prosecutor, I found it necessary, as Mayor, to seek the protection of the courts in order to end the confusion and waste of Village time, money and resources. Majority members of the Board of Trustees have failed to join me in my repeated efforts to seek an opinion from the New York State Attorney General or other similar legal authority to resolve this stalemate. Therefore, on behalf of the Village I have requested that a judgment be entered into to prevent these same members of the Board of Trustees from interfering in the legal and necessary activities of Messrs. Ponzini and Tucciarone; to declare the actions of these same members of the Board of Trustees as null and void and as under no effect; to direct these same Board of Trustees to recognize the power and authority of the Mayor, and; to direct further relief as may be considered just and proper in this and similar matters. This petition to the courts could have been prevented if cooperation were forthcoming from the majority party of the Board of Trustees. Therefore, in seeking relief from the courts I sincerely hope that the court's restrictions and associated documents will be adhered to until a decision is reached. We will continue to carry on the normal course of business within this frame of mind and by court direction's this legal framework immediately. I will not comment further on the aspects of this case until called upon by the courts. It is time to get back to the business of running the Village of North Tarrytown in a legal, sound and proper context." Mayor Zegarelli noted and recognized the presence of Robert Ponzini as the lawful Village Attorney for the Village of North Tarrytown. The Mayor also stated that court papers have been served on the majority of Board members answerable on Friday wherein a request has been made to the court that an order of show cause why a Temporary Restraining Order should not be granted in his behalf. Trustee Lobato stated that he (the Mayor) brought this action on behalf of the people of North Tarrytown. He stated that obviously his prepared statement of the temporary restrained order reflected that expectation. I i �-4Mayor Zegarelli stated that the statement was written after we knew that a TRO would not be granted at this time. The only reason Justice Wood did not grant it was because we are a municipality and required a notice. Trustee Lobato stated that the temporary restraining order was denied. Mayor Zegarelli asked if there was anyone present who would like to comment on any matter may do so at this time. No one appearing before the Board, the regular order of business resumed. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES PUBLIC WORKS Trustee Maceyak gave the following report: Rodded storm sewer from Fremont circle to Broadway and in the GM parking lot. Bank balance as of April 25th is $65,420.00. Trustee Maceyak moved that specifications be prepared and bids received on May 23, 1983 for the furnishing and installation of 500 remote reading meters, seconded by Trustee Timmings. On the question, Trustee Maceyak stated that 907o of water meters date back to 1930. He stated that the remote part of the meter would installed on the outside of the owner's property. We have had many problems of not being able to get into homes, as well as owners not sending in their readings. The annual savings would be $18,580 and there will be no problem reading the meters from the outside, he said. The committee is determining ways of funding the system, one of which is creating a special tax district which would be tax deductible. The would be a charge of $10 per month until the amount of $80 is paid for the installation and purchase. Another suggested means was to raisel water rate. Trustee Timmings stated that up to eight years' ago, the Board used to receive an annual report showing nlost" water. How much you buy and how much you sell and anything between those is the difference for the lowest water. Trustee Buonanno stated that too many hours are spent reading meters. We will be getting accurate readings, he said. This is also a safety aspect - people do not know who the men are also. Motion carried. Trustee Maceyak stated that the stairs from Millard Ave. to Phil Manor railroad station have been completed. The handrail and cap sto will be completed by the end of the week. Potholes were filled with blacktop throughout the Village. Sanders were removed from vehicles and stored in greenhouse. The dirt which was washed down into the GM parking lot from the rear o �y -5Barnhart Park was removed. The heavy rains washed out behind the central garage portion of the new garage allowing water to come in. This has been filled and blacktopped, but the repair is unsatisfactory.. The contractor still has not provided us with all the proper keys to the new garage. Trustee Maceyak called for a work session to go down to the new Village garage to survey some of the problems that exist in the new garage. POLICE Trustee McBride stated that a series of meetings were held regarding the police department budget. Trustee McBride moved that Lt. Brophy be granted permission to attend the Smith-Wesson Pistol I course in Springfield, Mass. from June 27-July 1 at a cost of $400, seconded by Trustee Timmings. He stated that there would be no overtime also. Trustee Buonanno raised the question as to whether or not the department will be properly manned with the Lieutenant being away, as well as other members being on vacation, and was answered that the Chief is making the request and it is with this understanding. Trustee Timmings questioned if the tuition includes room and Board and was answered by Trustee McBride that the entire cost to the Village is $400; all other costs will be borne by Lt, Brophy. Trustee Timmings stated that it would not be fair for someone to pay $200 on his own to attend a school if it is of benefit to the Village. Following a short discussion, motion carried. Trustee McBride stated that he is in receipt of a request from Chief Spota to permit Sgt. William Patten to attend the State Office of Crime Prevention Basic School at Pamona for one week commencing June 6th at no cost to the Village and no overtime.

Carried, Trustee McBride stated that where we normally go out for bid on meter maintenance contract, one of our highway department personnel, Charles Annicchiaricco, who has been trained for the job, will do whatever work is necessary on the meters and therefore, we will not call for bids on meter maintenance.

As you know, the County Board has designated Elmsford as the site for the garbage transfer station; however, apparently, there is a new alte in mind. This alternative is TO NOT build any transfer station for this Villages such as North Tarrytown, would truck the garbage^directly Peekskill for inclusion into the garbage system. The contraversy • ; regarding the garbage transfer station of course is based on the fac that no one wants the station itself, and there is a feeling as note by Greenburgh Superintendent Louis Giampiccolo that'communities in t Town of Mt. Pleasant and Villages in the northern end of Greenburgh could truck their garbage directly to Peekskill with only" a minimum amount of effort and expense. This is in particular a strong point when you view the total expense to build a transfer station to maint it and to mann it. Irregardless of this decision, we would still be: paying $17.00 a ton for disposal of garbage. Interestingly, Villages in central and south Greenburgh would go to the Yonkers Thruway compaction station and then have their garbage hauled north to Peeks There are numerous other areas that have to be addressed by the County which seems to be of the mind to go in this direction. I did not commit the Village to this program, although bearing in mind the expense for a new transfer station agrees to this solution. More information will be forthcoming at which time we can sit down and dis this matter. Note: For John Biros: Please calculate any expense or use of time and equipment tha may result in trucking our garbage directly to Peekskill as comp to a transfer station site in Elmsford, cc: Counsel Ponzini John Biros � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

These were documented on the police blotter. The past history of other places has not been good, said Trustee McBride. He stated that he does not believe it is a good idea. We are asking for many problems, whether it is from bussing the people from other communities, etc. The police report is not strongly opposing it, but he was opposed to any further granting of a permit. Trustee Lobato stated that the Chief has, in some sense, reserved judgment to continue the experiment to dole it out. We should chance to see how it is operating, said Trustee Lobato.

Village Attorney Village of Mount Kisco 404 Main Street Mount Kisco, New York 10549 Dear Mr. Martabano: JUN Informal Opinion "No. 83-31 You have informed us that at the recent organizational meeting of your village the mayor appointed you as village attorney for a one-year term, but that the board of trustees failed to confirm the appointment as required by.law. The" mayor refused to appoint another person as village attorney^ You have served for three years as the village attorney. In a telephone conversation you informed ua that your position is in the "exempt" classification of the civil service and that you are serving under a one-year appointment made at the last village organizational meeting.' V '} . Your first question is whether the mayor has the right to appoint the village attorney where the position has hot been established as an "office". In a telephone conversation you indicated that it is not clear whether the position in. fact has been established as a village office. The mayor has responsibility for appointment of "all department and non-elected officers and employees subject to the approval of the board of trustees" and may delegate the power to appoint certain employees to other village officers or employees (Village Law, S 4-400 [1] [c]). Therefore, in the absence of a delegation, the mayor, subject to the approval of the trustees, has the power to appoint the village attorney whether the position is an office or a position of employment. urn in «M a i J i I'lm^rm^/nmp"^' 4 w-*-- �2. Your second question is whether, upon the failure of belov^tJ^-rstSCSBB^^ :ffsilbfcyaaw8^^ ***** •***?*> - , .*-. # serve. The position in question is in the exempt class of the civil service. However, you are not certain whether the position is an office or a position of employment. The Village Law does not designate the position of village attorney as a village office but authorizes the board of trustees to establish additional village offices (id., S 3-301[2][c]). We believe that under the circumstances you have presented, the answer to your second question will be the same whether the position of village attorney is an office or a position of employment. Since the position is in the exempt class of the civil service, the incumbent serves at the pleasure of the appointing authority (Civil Service Law, § 75).* We believe that the local establishment of a term for the appointment of an exempt employee is inconsistent with these provisions and is therefore a nullity (1974 Op Atty Gen [Inf] 164, id. 204). Upon the failure to appoint a successor and in the absence of a dismissal of the incumbent by the appointing authority, the incumbent village attorney would continue to serve at the pleasure of the appointing authority. Further, if the position is a village "office", unless the office terminates or is abolished, the incumbent will hold over and continue to discharge his duties until his successor has been chosen and qualified (Public Officers Law, S 3 ) . Thus, we conclude that upon the failure to appoint a village attorney in your village, the incumbent village attorney will continue to serve. Finally, you informed us that thefroardof trustees has substantially reduced the salary of the holding over, village attorney with no reduction in the duties of the position. You ask whether such action is authorized. The board of trustees is responsible for the adoption of the budget (Village Law, § 5-508) , and we believe the trustees may, during the course of the year, reduce an appropriation. A person holding a position by permanent appointment in the competitive class of the civil service may not be removed or subjected to any disciplinary penalty except for incompetency or misconduct shown after a hearing upon stated charges. Persons holding positions by permanent appointment or employment in the classified service (including exempt and non-competitive positions) and who are honorably discharged veterans or exempt volunteer-^ firemen, are also entitled to this protection (Civil Service Law, S 75[1][a] and [b]). the trustees to approve the mayor's reappointment of the incumbent village attorney, the incumbent continues to „i .,,** w ' *.r* *£ish •**-*- *w', ./ T!«Sv v""- * ''V'-vc. y �i1 ' fl!.«» /tf* 'il !¥ i J t1' 1 1 However, in our opinion, such action may not be taken as a **see belo^acra^nJ73aft^^ ^tfeaggaegeKssr^^^pi-^r• jof. .g»rr»fr&mjgjacBit^ ^fc'v5M3T^v*KC^^5e^s^ *baf viwa?il»,^i>*^^grabttyir£,ttggfe iii^oriT>la±3.cn o* the provisions of Village Law, S 4-400 (1) (c) . * 5 We conclude that the mayor of a village appoints the village attorney subject ta the approval of the board of trustees.

As to the payback during those years, some people though it was improper and a taxpayers suit was brought against them. It was requested to have the State Board o Equalization & Assessment come in every year to set a special rate, but the Westchester County charter has a provision which cannot do so. A letter was sent to the County Board of Legislators. The legislatioi committee, chaired by Gibbs, has it now, he said. They are now redistricting and cut North Tarrytown out of Mt. Pleasant and put us in new district, he said. Sandy Galef is our new representative and Mr. Brady will be in the next portion. We are at the mercy of the Count' Board of Legislators, said Trustee Lobato.

July 11th, 1983 A Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Village of North Tarrytown was held on the above date, in the Courtroom on the first floor of the Village Hall. PRESENT: Philip E. Zegarelli, Mayor ABSENT: Stephen Maceyak Vincent Buonanno William McBride Joseph Lafaro James Tinraings Trustees Emmanuel Lobato, Trustee ALSO PRESENT: Robert Ponzini, Counsel Mayor Zegarelli called the meeting to order at 8 P.M. with a prayer and salute to the flag. Trustee Jfeceyak moved, seconded by Trustee Tinmings that the minutes of June 27th 1983 be approved as written. Carried Mayor Zegarelli read the Public Notice calling for bids for One (1) 1500 G.P.M. Pumper Cab Ahead of Engine Design with Five (5) Man Canopy Cab and Miscellaneous Equipment for the Rescue Hose Fire Company #1 of North Tarrytown, New York in accordance with specifications on file. Counsel Ponzini read a mail-gram from Mack Truck Company requesting an extension of one week's time in order to enable them to finalize their bid on said truck. Trustee MsBride asked if this was normal procedure? Counsel Ponzini stated "no". He informed the Board that they had reserved the right to reject all bids after opening the bids received but thought it unfair, and bids could be returned unopened if the Board decides to readvertise. Mayor Zegarelli asked for a recess to discuss whether to reject and readvertise without opening the bids already received. He also stated that all bids would be returned to those bidding "unopened", if requested, and they could be resubmitted if so desired. After a five minute recess the Board resumed the meeting. Mayor Zegarelli announced that the Board had decided not to open any of the bids. He also stated that if any of the bidders were present and wanted to take back their bids they were welcome to do so. Several withdrew their bids. Trustee lofaro moved, seconded by Trustee Tinmings that the Village readvertise for bids for a new truck for Rescue Hose to be returnable on July 29th, 1983 at 4 m. Carried. The Treasurer was instructed to lock up all remaining bids in the safe to be opened at the bid opening to be held on July 29th. Mayor Zegarelli read the notice of hearing to consider the adoption of a special assessment to provide for the payment of labor and materials for the installation of / �-2a public improvement known as Cold Water Meters - Displacement types (Magnetic Drive) with encoder type remotes 5/8" - 2''size. The purpose of the public hearing will be to permit the Village of North Tarrytown to impose a special assessment upon the water bills of those residents and taxpayers who will be provided with this improvement in services. Mayor Zegarelli asked if there was anyone present who would like to address the Board on this subject. Mr. James Donovan of 133 Hunter Avenue stated he was shocked to get a notice that his meter was being replaced. He said a public hearing should have been held before a final decision was made to install the meters. He stated that in the last three years the meter in his home could not be read only three times and he felt that the cost of three post cards did not warrent the cost of new meters, and he did not feel that the new meters would benefit the homeowner. He felt that the letter sent out sounded like a demand to put up or shut up. Mr. John Carroll of 140 Hunter Avenue read the June 13th letter sent out by the Water Department and asked various questions regarding the installation of the meters and some prior public meeting would have been held to inform the residents of the cost of meters. He asked if there were any other villages in the area who had their-meters installed. John Biros, Superintendent of Public Works reported that the Village of Ossining, City of Newburgh and the City of Poughkeepsie had recently had them installed by the Central Insatllation Company and reported that the meters were being supplied by Rockwell International through a local agent. There will be a $50.00 charge for the meter and a $30.00 installation fee. Local residents will be charged $10.00 per quarter until the $80.00 fee is paid. He also reported that some of the meters now in homes are very old and they under register and the village is 3osing quite a lot of money each year. Many times meter readers have been unable to gain access to read meters and the readings have to be estimated. The new meters will be put into the same place as the old meters and a wire will be run to an outdoor remote hookup where a meter reader can insert a special cassette tape which will record the water usage. Meter readings will be accurate and fool proof. I* Trustee tfeceyak stated that the issue was brought up at the last four meetings of the^ £oard and the meters should have been replaced years ago. Trustee Timmings stated that most of the people paying for the meters will probably gain a benefit in that they will be able to deduct the cost of the meters on their income tax. Constance Billharz, 467 Munroe Avenue stated she was very upset when she received the letter stating that the meters would be assessed to her in the amount of $80.00 and felt that a letter should have been sent to her asking for her opinion before the Village contracted for the installation of the meters. She also did not like the way the matter was handled and that the village ougjht to pay for the meters. Raymond Avellino, Gory Brook Road asked who would be responsible if the water line broke while they were changing the meters. He stated many of the lines in the village are old and felt if they are disturbed it might create problems. He also wanted to know if a licensed plumber was installing the meters. Mr. Biros stated that if a pipe broke the Water Department would be responsible and that the installers would be working for the Water Department and would not have to be licensed. �/o?# -3Mr. John Joy, Riverside Drive asked if the old meter was his and if so he would like a rebate. He had on various occasions had problems with his water line and he was told the water meter belonged to him. Mr. Biros stated that the meters would be traded in for the brass at a price of $4.00 per meter, and that actually the residents only rented the meters. He also stated that the village will be responsible for any damage. Mr. Donovan inquired as to why it was not a budgeted item, if it was going to benefit all taxpayers. He also asked if the meters were vandal proof and tamper proof and what about those meters already located outside the houses. Mr. Biros replied that those meters already outside would not be replaced. There being no further comments regarding this subject Trustee tfeceyak moved, seconded by Trustee Buonanno that the public hearing be closed. Carried. Jfeyor Zegarelli read the public notice for a public hearing to be held to amend Section 57-20G of the General Code of the Village of North Tarrytown prohibiting parking for all vehicles on the northerly side of Beekman Avenue commencing at a point 95 Feet from the southeast corner of Beekman Avenue and Hudson Street and running westerly from said point a distance of 126 ft. Such area shall be marked with standard police signs and/or such other markings deemed necessary and proper by the Chief of Police, indicating that said area is a No Parking zone. Jfeyor Zegarelli asked if there was the Board. anyone present who would like to address Steve Serina owner of property located at 220 Beekman Avenue stated that he was opposed to the change in the ordinance. Parking spaces were a a premium in the area, and stated that the new amendment called for 150 feet in order to serve an 8 foot door in front of General Motors office, and a 17 foot stairwell plus 126 feet called for in the amendment. Mb". Jack Powers an employee of General Motors stated that the purpose of asking-] for the amendment was strictly a safety factor6 t." Mr. Serina stated that the restrictions on parking should be between the hours of 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. in order to allow the residents of the area to park when they came home from work. Mr. John Carroll asked what became of the "Parking Committee" and stated he could not see taking all these parking spaces from the residents of the area. Chris Jorgen a resident of 225 Beekman Avenue reported that he works nights and he has difficulty finding a parking space when he comes home at night, and stated that the General Mstors employees should be made to park in the G.M. parking lot. Mr. Donovan stated that if it was a safety factor the onus should be put on General Mators and that the residents of Beekman Avenue be given consideration and a cross walk could be painted making it safer to cross. Mr. Serina stated that the area requested is too vast and that the employees of General Mators lot could hold 200-300 more cars. Mayor Zegarelli stated that all comments will be taken under consideration before / �-4the board acts. Trustee Maceyak moved, seconded by Trustee Timmings that the public hearing be closed. Carried. Curtis Heath, Chairman of the Conservation Advisory Council reported that at a recent meeting of the Council he was asked to appear before the Board and inform the Board of matters that need to be taken care of; Areas in the Village that need to be cleaned up, cans, rubbish and various items. These areas are Sleepy Hollow Road where people are parking, Riverside Drive near the Yellow Rocks, and the high school area. He would like to know if there is any kind of village program that the young people could participate in. Mayor Zegarelli stated that the Boy Scouts have programs and the Village participates in a youth Employment Service in conjunction with the Village of Tarrytown. Trustee Maceyak stated that the portion of Sleepy Hollow Road under the Route 117 is in the Town of Mt. Pleasant and that Riverside Drive presents a problem and a dangerous situation which is under consideration. The Public Works Department has hired summer help in cutting grass and shrubs throughout the Village Mr. Heath stated that some of the trees recently planted by the Village do not seem to be doing well. Trustee Maceyak stated that the Coffin Tree Company will be contacted and they will be inspecting the trees. Mr. Heath stated that the members of the Council have spent a considerable amount of time and effort to prepare a 'Tree Ordinance" and the Village had ' taken no action on the ordinance. He would like the Village Board to check the status of the ordinance and discuss the adoption with the Council, and stated that he had never received word from the Board about the adoption. 4£nnif er Dolan representing the Philipse Manor Improvement Association spoke regarding the dangerous condition of the steps on Millard Avenue down to the railroad station. Trustee Maceyak reported 1that the steps had been repaired but the height of the risers were uneven and he /^contacted Solari Contractors and they were going to redo the steps. Mrs. Dolan reported that previously there were two vacant lots on Hunter Ave. and recently they were sub-divided. They provided access for residents to Peabody Field.

Trustee McBride moved, seconded by Trustee Lobato that the following resolution be adopted: �-2WHEREAS on or about May 19, 1983, Unique Entertainment;, Inc. also 1:^ as the Strand Young Adult Club (hereinafter referred to as the appliCa requested a license for the operation of a dance and entertainment center at 80 Bcekman Avenue, North Tarrytown and* WHEREAS the Village of North Tarrytown (hereinafter referred to as th Village) is authorized by local law to regulate the operation of danc in the Village of North Tarrytown by the issuance of permits and WHEREAS said applicant made representations with respect to the operat of said premises and WHEREAS said representations included that the premises would be used primarily by children for birthday parties and other early teen and pn teen activities and WHEREAS the Village authorized temporary permits permitting said dance! with a strict proviso that all dances and entertainment be in strict compliance x^ith all local, State and Federal law and in keeping with tl peace and good order of the surrounding community and WHEREAS the applicant embarked on an enterprise that was not consistent with its original representation and WHEREAS the Village after close monitoring by its police department an< all neighboring community was informed that the establishment had becon an unruly premises where laws and the peace and good order of the community were violated and WHEREAS at a public meeting held on August 22, 1983, the applicant was permitted to be heard and present evidence that would pursuade the Vill not to reject any permits and WHEREAS members of.the community were present who unanimously spoke against the continuation of said dance permit and WHEREAS the North Tarrytown Police Department opposed the continued operation of the premises, now, therefore, be it RESOLVED that: after due deliberation and upon providing an opportunity to be heard to all interested parties any and all permits originally issued or granted to the applicant are hereby revoked, terminated and rescinded retroactive to August 14, 1983. ' - ~- Mr. Herbert Posner, offices at 56 Clinton Street, Attorney for the club, spoke with respect to the operation of the youth center. He stati that the owner did spend a lot of money and understands the position of the Village regarding unruly crowds. Crowds of this nature would congti anywhere, said Mr. Posner. He stated that the Strand does provide aw for the youth to go. Mr. Posner stated that Jthe operator should have '< hearing. His only violation was to stay open beyond*the limit. �/<Rd -3- Trustee McBride stated that marijuana was found and was asked by Mr. Posner if charges were filed, and was answered that he did not know. Mr. Posner stated that if someone walks in with marijuana, the owner cannot search that person. It would be against the law, he said. Deputy Mayor Timmings stated that from the time that the application to use the hall for dance purposes or young adult club, members of the j Board made it very clear that they had reservations about the conditions; ; He stated that members of the Board also made it clear that their concerns; were the residents of the Village who live across the street. Your coming in tonight is countered to all of the expressed concerns of the Board of Trustees over the several months that the Strand has been opened as a young adult club. Even those who voted in favor of the permit did so with reservations, he said. He stated that during the early period of the operation, the crowds were extremely small and complaints generated were few and far between. Trustee McBride stated that from the Village's standpoint and people here tonight, the place has not worked out, both from the standpoint of the noise and police blotter. Directing his comment to Mr. Posner, Trustee McBride stated that the permit will be rescinded tonight and you can take any stand you want. Trustee Maceyak stated that in the beginning, he was one of the supporters. He stated that he felt that everyone deserved a chance. The Club has become unruly and there is no control. There is no leadership or supervision, said Trustee Maceyak. Trustee Buonanno stated that he was also a strong supporter of the club. They were given an opportunity, but they did not live up to their expectations. He stated that the Board was advised by the owner that the hall would be supervised. It was hoped that it would be a recreationa facility, but it has not happened, said Trustee Buonanno. Mrs. Margaret McClintock, 95 Beekman Avenue, stated that one night, there were five cars double parked with Conn, plates. These are not our people, she said. Information from the police department showed that most attendees are from Yonkers, etc. It has not been a recreational outlet for the youth of this Village, she said. Trustee Maceyak stated that there were no complaints when the building was a skating rink. Mr. Thomas Carroll, 95 Beekman Avenue, stated that the Strand is a public nuisance. He stated that he was awakened four times in one night, which happened again the following week. Deputy Mayor called for a vote and the motion was carried. Trustee Maceyak moved that the Village Attorney search into the legality of a curfew and report back to the Board, seconded by Trustee Buonanno. il; �* -4Trustee Lobato stated that the matter has not been discussed in a work session. Trustee Timmings stated that before any local law could be adopt a public hearing would have to be held. A motion to start a study of a curfew in the Village isn't something that will be decided upon next month, he said. !N Trustee Lobato stated that we can decide the handling of each business problem as they occur on a case by case basis. riA Trustee McBride stated that the legal possibilities should be explained before entertaining the idea to go further. ,( Trustee Lobato stated that once the ordinance is adopted, it deve a blight of its own. We have developed local ordinances to which he voted against, he said. If we followed the procedure of adopting ordinances that aren't enforced, they will become a burden. Trustee Buonanno stated that numerous complaints have been receive before. The idea is excellent and should be researched, he said. Miss Barbara Stevens, 95 Beekman Aivenue, stated that there is a need for a curfew. If we cannot have the curfew, it should be patrolec ,n ^ Trustee Lobato stated that there are laws to protect children who are not being supervised.

Its costly and other workers must do work normally done by the absent employee. To try to correct the problem, GM & UAW, in last round talks, agreed on a tougher procedure for dealing with chronically absent workers. Chronic absentees-those away from work 20% of the time over six months-have some benefits cut by the same percentage as their controllable absences. Benefits that can be reduced under the program include holiday, jury duty, vacation, and bereavement pay. Similar reductions also can be implemented, under the clause in a workers eligibility for short work week benefits, profit sharing, SUB benefits, and sickness and accident benefits. First information about how program is working has just been released. About 10,000 of GM and 319,000 US workers have had their benefits reduced. At time program was ok'd, firm said it would save $600 million a year.| Ohio public employees now have bargaining rights. The 500,000 workers also can now legally strike. Only public safety forces are prohibited under the new law from striking. It is one of the last industrial states to give its workers bargaining rights and joins eight others in allowing public employees to strike. Workers at six southern mills of Int. Paper Company, members of Paperworkers Union and Electrical Bros, have ok'd new 3 year pacts calling for annual pay boosts of 6-6.5%. Other major provisions: a cent an hour increase in shift differential pay, a fifth paid personal holiday and revision of the company pension plan which will provide flat benefits based on service rather than earnings. 7/23 * * 7/30 * 8/6 Georgia Power employees, Electrical Bros, members ok'd pact calling for immediate 6.25% pay boost and a wage reopener in second year of the pact. In addition to pay hike arguement calls for three weeks vacations in seventh year of employmenta year sooner than past. Firm pays 66% of health insurance premium hikes. Mediation is a better way to solve labor disputes, an experiment showed, than compulsory arbitration. Coal mine grievances were settled in an average of 13 days for $250 each, experiment found, and for about 25% of the time and cost of the arbitration. Except for workers who have granted concessions, pay demands will be modest for the forseeable future. Prices have climbed only 2.6% in the past 12 months-lowest rate in 15 years. CPLw for June was 297.2 compared with 296.3 for May. The less used CPIrose to 298.1 from May's 297.1. For planning we see at this time prices rising 3.75% this year and approximately 57o next year. I Steelworkers at White Pine Copper Mine in Michigan walked out, after rejecting company's request for wage, COLA and vacation give backs �along with a 10 hour work day. Northwestern Steel. Some 1800 employees - most of them now laid-offhave struck Northwestern Steel's Illinois mill. Steelworkers members said wage concessions sought by firm were too much. Firm is threatening to close facility unless givebacks are granted. An in depth look at the 1982 negotiating year. When total pay boosts were measured over the life of the agreements, the average annual increase was 3.67o in settlements negotiated last year, compared with 719% in 1981, 7.1% in 1980 and 6.3% in 1979. Nearly 66%, of workers covered by 1982 settlements have COLA clauses. Agreements with COLA usually had smaller wage boosts than those without. 1983 Contract Settlements. Pay hikes in pacts bargained in 1983 first half, BLS reported, were the lowest in past 15 years. Workers won first year wage increases of only 0.9%, in first half of 1983. Annual boost over the life of pacts signed in 1983 first half was 2.7%,. In contracts with COLA clauses, first year wage decrease averaged 2.7% compared with wage increases of 3.8%, in those agreements without COLA. About 257o of 1.2 million workers covered by contracts took wage cuts and 20%, will receive no wage change over the duration of their agreement. The telephone and aerospace talks will set the pace later in year. We believe pay settlements for remainder of year will average about 5%. East Alco Aluminum. A five day strike against Eastalco Aluminum Co. is over. Workers, members of Steelworkers Union, agreed to a new three year pact which calls for wages to be frozen for the duration of the new agreement. The workers also gave up four of 12 paid holidays each year. In addition, they will get time and a quarter for overtime during the first two years, increasing to time and a half during the final year of the contract. The strike at the Equitable Gas Co. in Pittsburgh, which began more than six months ago, is settled. Workers returned to work under terms of their old agreement. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
