The Village Clerk read the public notice aloud for the record.
Paula McCarthy, Village Clerk stated that the Village Clerk's office had received a letter from
Timothy Nelson (25 Millard Ave) regarding his opinion on the proposed code revisions.
The Mayor opened the meeting to the public and evoked the 5 minute rule.
Marc Frye of 41 Hudson Terrace expressed his concern about the proposed code revisions.
He stated that Pat Pillow was instrumental in the creation of the ARB back in 1977. He
stated that Beekman Ave is very different from Main Street in Tarrytown. He stated that
Tarrytown created an ARB due to some inappropriate store front renovations. He stated that
if there is a good reason for eliminating the ARB the Board should consider restructuring the
Board instead of eliminating it.

�Dan Scott of River Street in Sleepy Hollow stated that the Village Board has not provided
any reasons as to why it wants to eliminate the ARB. He stated that there may be personnel
changes and structures changes but he urged the Board to take into consideration the
general principals of the ARB which is to preserve and conserve the Village. He stated that

WS-1 Presentation: Emergency Vehicle Response
Michael K. Wilbur and Tom Shannon are representing Emergency Vehicle Response, a
consulting firm hired by the fire department to review the specifications and bid
documents to replace the Columbia Hose fire apparatus.
Tom Shannon described their company, backgrounds, and the scope of their services. Mr.
Shannon indicated that they had reviewed the truck committee's requirements and
prepared 32 recommendations to the committee to be included into the bid specifications.
Mr. Shannon said that once the recommendations are incorporated into the specifications,
then the Village can go out for bids.
Michael Wilbur stated that they recommend going out to bid before the end of the year
since a cost increase is expected in the first quarter of next year. Mr. Wilbur stated that
the there will be a 50-60 thousand dollar difference in the bids; and it was the consultants
job to review the bids to make sure that each bid meets the bid specifications.

�The Mayor asked if the specifications have been prepared so that more than one
manufacturer can respond to the bid.
Tom Shannon responded that there is enough open areas in the specifications not to
"lock-out" any vendor.
The Mayor question what the fire apparatus manufacturing market was Hke.
Michael Wilbur stated it was soft.
Tom Shannon added that the manufactures that were producing 5,500 trucks per year are
now averaging about 3,000 trucks per year.
Trustee Wompa questioned if the price was negotiable.
Tom Shannon responded that the bid was a lump sum fixed price based on the engineered
vehicle; and that the Village could negotiate alternates after the bid is accepted.
Trustee Stupel questioned why the prices are going up.
Tom Shannon replied that new EPA and Federal Government safety and emissions
requirements have added to price increases. Mr. Shannon added that manufactures have
not raised prices in the last two years.
The Mayor asked how many vendors are expected to bid.
Tom Shannon replied that 3-5 vendors are expected.
Trustee Schroedel questioned if the prices are expected to go up after the first of the year
or after the first quarter of next year.
Tom Shannon replied that all prices will be going up 5-7%, or greater, after the first of
the year.
Trustee Schroedel questioned how long the selected vendor will have to deliver the truck.
Tom Shannon relied that the vendor has 270-330 days to deliver the truck.
Trustee Carr asked if the specifications are standard or if there are special tools that the
Village needs.
Tom Shannon responded that the specifications are based on what the Village of Sleepy
Hollow needs, but that the specifications are not "one of a kind". Mr. Shannon stated that
all of the components are standard, and nothing is unusual. Mr. Shannon added that there
are items specified as options and have been included separately so as not to discourage
bidders.

�Trustee Campbell inquired if the options are included in the lump sum price.
Tom Shannon responded that the options are listed separately so each item can be
identified.
Michael Wilbur gave an example of how the bids are reviewed and compared to the bid
specifications.
Chief John Korzelius summarized the work of the truck committee and work that the
consultants performed to get truck specification ready to bid.
The Mayor stated that the Board will need to pass a resolution authorizing the request for
bids. The Mayor asked Village Attorney Gandolfo to prepare a resolution for
consideration at the end of the meeting.
Trustee Schroedel concluded by complimenting the Fire Chief and the Fire Department
for the thorough job they did researching, preparing the truck specifications, and hiring
the consultants.
WS-2 Discussion: Tree appeal- 3 Lakeshore Close
Richard Giordano introduced himself as the owner of the property and stated that he was
appealing the tree committee's denial to remove two trees on his property. Mr. Giordano
described the trees as two Dawn Redwood trees, approximately 75 feet high and are
located adjacent to his driveway, about 15-20 feet from the house. Mr. Giordano stated
that there were originally three trees but one was removed because it destroyed a drain
pipe. Mr. Giordano stated that the roots of the two remaining trees are damaging the
driveway and drain pipe.
Deputy Mayor Capossela questioned if one tree had been removed already.
Mr. Giordano responded yes, that the roots damaged the drain, requiring the pipe to be
replaced.
Trustee Stupel asked if an arborist report was submitted.
Mr. Giordano responded that he did have a report. Mr. Giordano stated that the arborist
reviewed cutting the tree roots but could not guarantee that he tree would survive. Mr.
Giordano added that the tree could fall on the house and damage the driveway and drain
pipe. Mr. Giordano concluded by stating that the trees are potentially costly and
dangerous.
The Mayor questioned if the work to repair the drain could proceed.

�Mr. Giordano stated the work could be done but the tree roots would be damaged.
The Mayor clarified that the arborist could not guarantee the life of the tree and that the
tree would become top heavy when the roots are cut to repair the drain pipe.
Trustee Campbell questioned how old the trees are.
Mr. Giordano responded that the trees were probably planted when the house was built in
the 1960's.
The Mayor questioned what type of species the trees are.
Mr. Giordano responded that the trees are Dawn Redwoods; adding that he likes the trees
but they are just too close to the house.
Deputy Mayor Capossela stated that the Dawn Redwood species grow very rapidly.
Trustee Stupel questioned if the trees have a deep root system.
Deputy Mayor Capossela replied that the root system is shallow and wide.
The Mayor questioned if both trees need to be removed.
Deputy Mayor Capossela stated that he was in favor of removing the trees. Deputy
Mayor Capossela added that he has seen the trees and was ready to vote on the matter.
The Mayor stated that the Tree Committee did deny the permit and would like to hear
from the committee.
Shelly Robinson stated that the trees are spectacular, unusual, healthy, and beautiful.
There was an open discussion regarding the location of the trees and damage to the
driveway.
Trustee Schroedel questioned if the tree species was native.
Richard Gross stated that the decision is, "the trees versus the driveway". Mr. Gross said
that he originally did not approve the permit but changed his vote after he inspected the
property the second time. Mr. Gross explained were the trees were located, and said that
he could see where the tree roots were starting to damage the driveway. Mr. Gross added
that the property has a high water table and the roots are growing towards the water.
Trustee Schroedel questioned if there is a danger to the house if the roots are cut.
Richard Gross replied that the trees are 15 feet from the house and that there was a
danger to the house, property and life.

�Shelly Robinson requested that an independent arborist should be hired to review the
condition of the trees.
Rosalie Giordano explained that an arborist did inspect the trees and suggested midgation
measures; however, the arborist could not guarantee that the trees would not fall on the
house.
An open discussion continued regarding the tree roots, the drain pipe and the water table.
Trustees Stupel and Carr requested to see the arborist's report.
The Mayor concluded by requesting that Mr. Giordano submit a copy of his arborist's
report for the Board to review; and that the Board will take action quickly.
WS-3 Discussion: Fremont Pond
The Mayor stated that there has been a question raised about the ownership of Fremont
Pond. The Mayor announced that documents have been found in Village Hall that
indicates that the property was transferred from the Town of Mount Pleasant between
1999-2000. The Mayor added that the process was sloppy but it is clear that the Village
owns the property. The Mayor said that Ms. Gandolfo will follow up on the things that
need to be done to make sure the records are complete. The Mayor indicated that the
ownership information allows the Village to begin planning improvements for the
property.
Ms. Gandolfo stated that the Village has a copy of the deed but that the document was
never filed with the Westchester County Clerk's office. Ms. Gandolfo stated that the
Village can have the Town Supervisor sign a new deed and proceed to have the document
properly filed.
Trustee Stupel questioned if the property transfer is null and void.
Ms. Gandolfo responded that the property transfer, including two smaller parcels, was
approved by resolution of the Town Board.
The Mayor concluded by stadng that the Village needs to establish better procedures to
identify documents and files in Village Hall.
WS-4 Discussion: Code revisions
Ms. Gandolfo stated that the Village Code contains several chapters that are no longer
applicable or are superseded by State Law. Ms Gandolfo suggested the deletion of these
chapters.

�Ms. Gandolfo reviewed the following chapters:
Chapter 37-Shopping Carts. Ms. Gandolfo stated that this chapter was created because
people were taking home carts and leaving them on the Village streets. Ms. Gandolfo said
that this is not a problem anymore and suggested deleting the chapter.
Chapter 13- Public Property. Ms. Gandolfo stated that this chapter is covered by State
Law and suggested deleting the chapter.
Chapter 40- Disorderly Conduct. Ms. Gandolfo stated that this chapter is covered by
State Law and suggested deleting the chapter.
Chapter on Cable Communications. Ms Gandolfo stated that this local law has become
absolute due to the cable franchise agreement.
Chapter 7- Bathing Suits. Ms. Gandolfo stated that this law was created in 1937 and is no
longer practicable.
Chapter 75- Garbage and Refuse Collection Rules and Regulations. Ms. Gandolfo
suggested that revisions to this chapter should wait until the study on the garbage and
refuse is completed.
Chapter 52A- Tree Committee. Ms. Gandolfo stated that the parks and recreation
committee is reviewing the Tree Code and will be making recommendations to the Board
of Trustees.
Chapter 50B- Taxation. Ms. Gandolfo explained that the State adopts tax increase limits
on tax abatements for rent controlled apartments, senior citizen exemptions, and veteran's
exemptions. Ms. Gandolfo stated that every year the Village has a public hearing to set
the cap on these exemptions. Ms. Gandolfo suggested revising the Code to adopt
whatever the State adopts each year.
Chapter 19C- Filming. Ms. Gandolfo informed the Board that the Village Clerk provided
them with copies of filming ordinances from other municipalities; and suggested the
Board members review the codes and make suggestions to the Village staff. Ms.
Gandolfo recommended reviewing the code from Rye Brook, stating that the ordinance
applies to filming on both public and private property.
Chapter 29- Hawking, Peddling and Soliciting. Ms. Gandolfo described the current
ordinance as archaic and that the proposed changes to the chapter would give the police
chief more authority, require background checks for solicitors, and require solicitors to
abide by homes placarded with "No Soliciting" signs.
The Mayor added that political notices and campaigning would not be effected by the
revisions.

�Ms. Gandolfo summarized by stating that more than 70% of the Code is now on the
Village web site, and by the end of the month the entire Code with revisions will be
online. Ms. Gandolfo stated that a public hearing to review all of the code changes will
take place in early January.
Trustee Schroedel requested that the Webber Park tag sale add be removed from the
Village television scroll and be replaced with a notice regarding the code revisions.

Mayor Wray called the work session to order at 7:10 p.m.
LEAF MULCHING - Rich Gross made a presentation on leaf mulching. Mr. Gross attended a
Westchester County recycling training session where they announced a new leaf mulching
program called "mulch em and leave em" The program encourages people to mulch fallen
leaves on their property. The benefits are that it will reduce the cost of leaf removal and will
help to fertilize lawns naturally. The program has been adopted by other communities. The
Parks Department will try this idea out at Kingsland Point Park. Discussion ensued. There was
also a discussion on the County's new policy not to accept discarded tires from municipalities.
CODE REVISIONS - The Board continued its discussion on code revisions. The Board first
discussed the Architectural Review Board (ARB). The general consensus is that the Building
Department should handle permits for fences and signs, while the Planning Board should be
responsible for all other ARB functions. The Board also discussed film permits and in particular,
filming on private property. Mr. Giaccio will contact other municipalities to get their policy on
film permits.
POST OFFICE - Mayor Wray encouraged residents to fill out and return a post office survey
that was recently sent out. Mayor Wray announced that Trustee Wompa is working on a letter of
support to save the Sleepy Hollow Post Office. The letter will be signed by the entire Village

�Board and will be sent to the United States Post Office. Trustee Campbell gave permission to
Mr. Giaccio to sign the letter on his behalf because he will be out of town. Copies of the
petitions will also accompany the letter.
SANITATION SCHEDULE - Trustee Capossela announced next week's sanitation schedule.
There will be a Village wide pick up on Monday and Thursday and no pick up on Tuesday or
Friday due to Election Day and Veteran's Day. Recycling will still be on Wednesday.
ADMINISTRATOR'S ANNOUNCEMENTS - Mr. Giaccio announced that there will be a
Duracell meeting on Monday, November 7, at 7:00pm at the Sleepy Hollow High School. Mr.
Giaccio mentioned that he attended a tax cap meeting held in Elmsford last week. Many Village
Board members also attended the meeting. The meeting was organized by the Village Officials
Committee and included a presentation by Barbara Van Epps from the New York State
Conference of Mayors (NYCOM). Discussion ensued.
At 7:50 p.m. the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,

Anthony Giaicio, Village Administrator

preparing in advance and taking care of problems as they arose during Hurricane Irene,
Mayor also stated that there are still some homes without power in the Village and all are
frustrated with Con Ed, but there were no fatalities and no tragedies during this storm.
Fire Chief Korzelius addressed the Mayor and the Board of Trustees stating that the
Department prepared ahead for the storm by checking all equipments and placing volunteers
on standby. The Department responded to numerous calls for assistance with flooded
basements. Chief Korzelius expressed concern about people walking along the waterfront,
despite warnings that the storm surges could make the riverfront dangerous. He thanked
everyone, other departments and Village Officials for their help and support, and strongly
advised the public to stay away from the waterfront during storms.

�Richard Gross, General Foreman, addressed the Mayor and the Board of Trustees, he was
pleased with the weather warnings, which gave the Department ample time to prepare.
In addition to several repairs needed to sink holes and storm drains, he stated that there
were 8 large trees that came down and numerous others were damaged. He stated that
despite power outages, which were mostly restored by Wednesday evening, there was
minimal damage in the Village. He also stated that leafs left on the road end up in the storm
drains which cause back up and flooding. He thanked the residents for staying off the roads,
which makes everyone's job safer and easier.
Mayor Wray stated that the Village was alerted ahead of time by the DEC that there may be
no water. Mr. Gross stated that the Town of Greenburg gave the Village several million
gallons of water.
Police Chief Camp addressed the Mayor and the Board and thanked all the Departments for
working together effectively. He stated the pre planning was essential. He also warned the
public that the storm surges can be a dangerous situation, and that is why the parks had to
be closed. Discussion ensued.
Mayor announcements:
Mayor Wray stated that at this time cablevision customers had no sound on their local TV
Village channel but that it would broadcast again with sound.
Mayor announced that the Ambulance Corp is now housed at 28 Beekman Avenue for several
reasons. He stated the ambulance headquarters building is in need of repairs and the Village
does not have the resources to rebuild it. Mayor explained that Fire Patrol moved to the Fire
House on Lawrence Avenue to make room for the two ambulances. In addition it is more
convenient for the members to respond. The Department of Health met with Mayor and the
Acting Captain of the ambulance corps, and was in accordance with this move.
Mayor stated that the Village Code is being revised and needs to be reviewed by the Board.
All records for the past nine years have to be checked. It is expected to be adopted by the
end of November.
Public Comments:
Mayor opened the meeting to the public at this time and evoked the 5 minute rule.
Charblie Curi of North Broadway addressed the Mayor and the Board of Trustees and asked if
the Village rules apply to his sister. He also mentioned that he is relocating far away.

the Hurricane. He reported that in the month of August the ambulance corps responded to

work session.

�Public Comments:
Mayor opened the meeting to the public at this time and evoked the 5 minute rule.
Jack Gasko of Webber Avenue addressed the Mayor and the Board of Trustees and stated
that a lot of people in the community have to scramble at the last minute to pay their taxes
and to restrict that (taking cash) would be a disservice.

�ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT 8/30/11

HURRICANE IRENE - Police, Fire, Ambulance and DPW all need to be c o m m e n d e d
for their work before, during and after the storm. Today we held a post-storm
debriefing with Department Heads and identified some areas that need
improvement. W e will formulate an updated plan for future weather events. I
know some people are unhappy with the response from Con Edison in getting
power restored to certain areas of the Village.

M a y o r Wray and Village Staff

continually called Con Edison in an effort to get crews out to the affected areas. I
believe our efforts have been successful since Con Ed crews are working on Route
9 as we speak.
BATHHOUSE -

There is still no Certificate of Occupancy for the Kathryn W. Davis

Bathhouse. The three outstanding issues are the electrical permit, septic tank
and sprinklers in the pavilion area. The Building Department met with the County
and Scenic Hudson to try and resolve these issues, but I believe it is likely that
vendors will not be able to occupy the building this year.
DEVRIES PARK PLAYGROUND - The Devries Park Playground work has begun.
The work is expected to be completed in mid-October. The ball fields are still
playable, but parking is limited. A design for a new protective fence along the
Devries Field outfield is being developed and w e hope to have that installed
before the playground is completed.
KENDALL AVENUE SIDEWALKS - There was a pre-construction meeting today for
the Kendall Avenue Sidewalk Project. Work will begin in t w o weeks. The Village
will arrange to have parking available on at least one side of the street during
construction.
COURT WORK- Improvements to the Court Room are almost complete. All the
furniture and paneling was sanded and refinished, the walls were painted and
new chairs were purchased. All that's left to do is to install a new carpet. The
Village received a grant to fund the entire project.

�STREET FAIR - A reminder that the Sleepy Hollow Street Fair will take place on
Saturday, September 10 from 10:00-5:00. The fair is usually on a Sunday but was
moved this year out of respect for 9/11. Also on that date is the Swim-a-thon,
which will be held at Kingsland Point Park.

�Whereas, the Village of Tarrytown has filed a lawsuit against the Village of Sleepy
Hollow opposing the issuance of the Special Permit for the development of Lighthouse
Landing; and
Whereas, the Village of Tarrytown has disputed Sleepy Hollow's findings and
conclusions with regard to traffic and related issues; and
Whereas, the firm of STV Incorporated, a traffic engineering firm, performed the
traffic studies and submitted the reports regarding the traffic studies during the special
permit and environmental reviews during the special permit process; and
Whereas, it is necessary for Sleepy Hollow to provide evidence to the reviewing Court
that the Village took the requisite "hard look" at all traffic issues and proposed the
necessary mitigation measures;
Now, therefore, be it resolved the Board of Trustees hereby agrees to retain the
services of STV Incorporated to work with special counsel for the Village of Sleepy
Hollow to review the traffic impacts analysis and adopted mitigations as contained in
the adopted State Environmental Quality Review Act Final Environmental Impact
Statement, the Supplemental Findings Statement and related SEQRA documentation; to
provide comment to assist in the technical review and preparation of response to said
lawsuit; and to provide expert testimony on behalf of the Village of Sleepy Hollow, if
necessary; and

WITN

ESSETH:

WHEREAS, in 2009 Sleepy Hollow was the lead applicant, and Tarrytown and Briarcliff
Manor the co-applicants, of an application to the New York State Department of State for a
General Efficiency Planning grant under the Local Government Efficiency Grant Program to
assist with funding a feasibility study of the consolidation of water services of the Villages of
Sleepy Hollow, Tarrytown and Briarcliff Manor; and
WHEREAS, on May 28, 2010 Sleepy Hollow received a notice of award from the New York
State Department of State for the water services consolidation feasibility study; and
WHEREAS, said project award will provide a grant of $26,000 to undertake the feasibility
study, and the grant requires a total local match of $2,889; and

�WHEREAS, an Intermunicipal Agreement is necessary among Sleepy Hollow, Briarcliff Manor
and Tarrytown to define certain tasks and financial responsibilities in order to implement said
grant project.
NOW THEREFORE, the following constitutes a binding agreement by and among the
parties.
THE PROJECT
The intent of the project is to study the feasibility of a consolidation of water services among
the three villages in order to reduce water rates; to reduce the financial stress on property
owners and residents, and to coordinate the transmission and delivery of safe, reliable and
fresh volumes of potable water. The feasibility study will identify water consumer cost
impact and will express it as Total Cost Impact, Cost Impact per Capita and Estimated Impact
on Water Rates resulting from a proposed consolidation.
The feasibility study shall discuss different models for a consolidated water entity with a
recommendation of the model which will best reduce costs, improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of the operation, and increase the ongoing reliability of the water system. The
study will include meetings between the contractor and stakeholders in all three villages.
The study will address issues including reduction of staffing duplication, licensing, economies
of scale from bulk purchasing, the elimination of unnecessary redundancy, the different
water rate and billing structures of each Village, debt service levels, labor issues and physical
infrastructure. The study will make recommendations as to the most efficient and cost
effective way to supply water to residents, and will include financial analyses and an

�implementation plan. It will be issued in the form of a feasibility study report, which is the
deliverable conclusions and recommendations of this project.
FEASIBILITY STUDY REPORT
The consultant will issue the draft feasibility study report which will be reviewed by the
working group, each member of which will provide comments. The report will then be
presented at a public meeting for review and comment. The consultant will then finalize
findings, conclusions and recommendations and issue a final feasibility report to the working
group. The final report will be presented to each Village's Board of Trustees for review and
action. The Mayor and Trustees of each municipality shall decide whether or not to
implement the recommendations. A new InterMunicipal Agreement will be necessary to
govern implementation should the parties decide to proceed with the feasibility report's
recommendations.
SELECTION OF CONSULTANT
Sleepy Hollow shall prepare, with substantial input from the working group, a Request For
Proposals ("RFP") for the consultant to do the feasibility study, which shall be approved by all
parties. Each Village may submit names of consultants and firms to which the RFP will be
sent. Sleepy Hollow shall forward each proposal received to Tarrytown and Briarcliff Manor.
Once proposals are received, the working group shall meet to review and rate each based on
general hydraulic experience, experience with municipal and private water systems, and
pricing fee regimes. The consultant with the highest total grading score shall be appointed.
In the event of a tie score. Sleepy Hollow shall select one of the consultants with the highest

�score. Where the working group agrees that no proposal reflects acceptable experience or
affordable fees, an amended RFP shall be issued or the project shall be canceled.
DISTRIBUTION OF LABOR AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
The parties agree on the following distribution of labor and financial responsibility:
1. Working Group. A working group comprised of each Village's Administrator/Manager
and manager responsible for water department oversight will oversee the project.
This working group will define the project, develop the RFP, select the consultant to
do the study, facilitate the consultant's work with village staff, review the draft report
and present the final report to the respective Boards of Trustees. Each member of the
working group shall have an equal vote. In the case of an unbroken tie, the three
Mayors of the Villages shall vote to break the tie. Each Village shall pay its own costs
for the services of the working group.
2. Grant Administration. Sleepy Hollow will be responsible for administering the Local
Government Efficiency grant. Sleepy Hollow's Director of Grants will undertake this
work and provide written documentation to Sleepy Hollow, Tarrytown and Briarcliff
Manor regarding the costs of that work to be divided pursuant to the cost sharing
agreement below.
3. Project Expenses. Sleepy Hollow will be responsible for contracting with the
consultant conducting the study. Sleepy Hollow will also be responsible for drafting
the Intermunicipal Agreement and preparing the RFP, and the cost of these two
functions shall not exceed $3,000, or $1,000 per municipality. Costs associated with
drafting this Intermunicipal Agreement, preparing the RFP, retaining the consultant,

�the consultant's cost and expenses, meetings, public information sessions, and the
production of the report will be shared as defined below. Sleepy Hollow shall provide
Tarrytown and Briarciiff Manor documentation, in the form of invoices from
consultants and/or attorneys, relating directly to this project and the Villages shall
have the right to question the invoices as submitted and shall not be responsible for
payment until the questions are answered to the satisfaction of the Villages.
4. Cost Sharing. Each Village agrees to pay 33.3% of the total cost of the project less
the grant funding received.
5. Municipal Funds. Four sources of funds are anticipated for the undertaking of this
project: NYS Department of State Local Government Efficiency grant funds in the
maximum amount of $26,000 and funds from the three different municipalities.

for fishing, view enjoyment, and the mooring of small recreational watercraft; and

Preservation's Park Acquisition, Development and Planning Program and the NYS
Department of State's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program have been identified as
funding sources appropriate for the necessary study, each of which requires a 50% match,

Sleepy Hollow, is hereby authorized to file an application for funds in the New York State
Consolidated Funding Application round from the New York State Office of Parks,

Village of Sleepy Hollow
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Sleepy Hollow held a Work Session on Tuesday,
October 18, 2011 at the Sleepy Hollow Village Hall, 28 Beekman, Sleepy Hollow, New York.
Present:

Mayor Kenneth G. Wray
Thomas Capossela
Karin T. Wompa
Bruce R. Campbell
Barbara J. CanDavid L. Schroedel
Evelyn R. Stupel

Trustees

Also Present: Anthony Giaccio, Village Administrator
Sara DiGiacomo, Village Treasurer
Janet Gandolfo, Village Attorney
Greg Camp, Police Chief
John Korzelius, Fire Chief
Mayor Wray called the work session to order at 7:00 p.m.
WESTCHESTER COUNTY PASSENGER TRANSPORT IMA - Barbara Monahan and
Tom Richio from the Westchester County Taxi and Limousine Commission made a presentation
that summarized a County program that permits the Village to enforce illegal livery cabs and
taxis in return for revenue from fines. The Board recently entered into an IMA with the County
regarding this.
AUDITORS REPORT - Auditor David Spara from Toski Schaefer gave a report on the
Village's 2009/2010 financial statement. The Village did see an increase to its fund balance, but
water revenues were down significantly.
WATER RESERVIOR - Mayor Wray outlined the next steps as they relate to the water
reservoir project. The Village is the lead agency under SEQRA for this project. A study needs
to be completed on the plan to install a reservoir either directly above or below the existing water
reservoir. Once the study is complete, the Board will issue a new findings statement.
WATER PROJECT IMA - Grant writer, Fiona Hodgson introduced a resolution to authorize
the Mayor to sign a shared services inter municipal agreement to study ways in which Briarcliff,
Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow can share water services. The three Villages received a grant for

�this project. The estimated match, not including in kind work, is $1,000 per community. Mayor
Wray requested that a resolution to approve this study be on the next Board Meeting agenda.
GRANT APPLICATION FOR PIER - Grant writer, Fiona Hodgson asked the Board to choose
between two grant applications. The two grant applications request funds for a Pocantico River
study and funds for a new pier. Both projects have pros and cons, but the Board felt that the
better project would be the pier. Mayor Wray asked that a resolution to approve this grant
application be on the next Board Meeting agenda.
FIRE APPARATUS CONSUTLANT - Fire Chief, John Korzelius submitted a proposal from
consulting firm "Emergency Vehicle Response" (EVR) to assist with the purchase of a new fire
apparatus. Chief Korzelius feels that a consultant will be helpful in determining whether or not a
new fire apparatus is needed, and if so, what type of apparatus is needed. They will also review
bid specifications. Chief Korzelius recommends this particular consulting firm because they are
experts in this area. Mayor Wray requested that a resolution to approve the proposal submitted
by "Emergency Vehicle Response" (EVR) be on the next Board Meeting agenda.
PERSONNEL STATUS CHANGES - The Board reviewed a request made by Chief Camp to
change the status of two crossing guards from seasonal to part-time. There will be no additional
cost associated with these status changes. The Board also reviewed a request from the Treasurer
to change Chris Scelza's civil service status from provisional to permanent. Mr. Scelza recently
passed his civil service exam. There is no additional cost associated with this status change
either. Mayor Wray asked that a resolution to approve all three of these status changes be on the
next Board Meeting agenda.
CODE REVISIONS - Janet Gandolfo outlined proposed changes to the Village code. Most of
the changes relate to items in the code that are now obsolete or need to be updated. Items
mentioned include fire districts, building department codes, hand bills and posters, littering,
trees, tattoo shops, signs, residency requirements and telephones. A list of the proposed code
revisions is available on the Village's website. Discussion ensued.
ANNOUNCEMENTS - Trustee Capossela announced that there will be hydrant flushing going
on this week and that if anyone experiences brown water they should let the water run until it
clears. Mr. Giaccio announced the upcoming 10k run that will take place on Saturday.
At 8:55 p.m. the meeting was adjourned.

�Resolution of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Sleepy Hollow
Authorizing Transfer of New York State Environmental Protection Fund
Grant for Tarrytown Lighthouse Restoration to Westchester County
WHEREAS, in October 2006 the Village was awarded an Environmental Protertion
Fund (EPF) grant of $150,000 by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation
and Historic Preservation for the preservation and restoration of the Tarrytown
Lighthouse. EPF grant agreement number EPF406095 has not yet been executed;
and
WHEREAS, in March 2008 the Village was awarded a Save America's Treasures
grant of $98,000 by the National Park Service for the Lighthouse project. Grant
agreement number 36-08-ML-0741 was executed in August 2009; and
WHEREAS, Westchester County owns the Tarrytown Lighthouse. In May 2011
the County approved $552,000 in Capital Budget funds to help finance the
Lighthouse restoration; this money will also serve as the required match to both
the $150,000 New York State EPF grant and the $98,000 Federal Save America's
Treasures grant; and
WHEREAS, Westchester County will be managing the preservation and
restoration project, including selecting and contracting with the architect and
contractors, supervising construction, receiving and paying all architect and
contractor invoices and managing the overall budget; and
WHEREAS, to facilitate the grant reimbursement process, and given that
Westchester County owns the Lighthouse and will be doing all of the procurement,
the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation has
advised its preference to transfer the EPF grant to the County. The Westchester
County Department of Parks, Recreation &amp; Conservation has agreed to accept the
assignment and has advised that the Village will remain actively involved in the
project; and
WHEREAS, the National Park Service advises that they are unable to transfer the
Save America's Treasures grant to the County as the money has already been
obligated to the Village of Sleepy Hollow.
(Continue pg 2)

�NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Sleepy Hollow does hereby authorize the transfer of grant number EPF406095
In the amount of $150,000 to Westchester County for the original purpose of said
grant, namely the preservation and restoration of the Tarrytown Lighthouse; and

David Smith, Village Planning Consultant
Dolph Rotfeld, Village Engineer

Mayor Wray called the work session to order at 7:00 p.m.
WATER SYSTEM PRESENTATION - Trustee Schroedel gave a power point presentation on
Sleepy Hollow's water system. The Village's water storage capacity in inadequate and there is
an urgent need to construct a new reservoir. The proposed site for the new reservoir is either
directly below or above the existing reservoir located on the Rockefeller State Preserve. The
Village has an easement at this location. David Smith and Dolph Rotfeld were present to answer
questions. Discussion ensued. David Smith was instructed to start the SEQRA process.
SECURITY CAMERAS AT 100 COLLEGE ARMS - 100 College Arms pays the Village
$ 10,000 a year for extra security as part of a PILOT agreement. The management company for
100 College Arms offered to install security cameras that can link up to the Police Department.
The cost of these cameras is approximately $20,000 and so the management company asked the
Village Board to waive the security fee for two years. Discussion ensued. Mayor Wray
requested that a resolution to approve this request be on the next Board Meeting agenda.

�AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM - Robin Pell was on hand to answer questions about the afterschool program. Most of the students have paid, but there are a couple of students that still owe
money. Ms. Pell said that checks were sent to the Recreation Department, but this is no longer
permitted by the Village Board. Checks should come directly to the Finance Department.
PASSENGER TRANSPORT IMA ^ The Board reviewed a draft inter-municipal agreement
with the County. The agreement states that the Village can enforce County laws that regulate
livery cabs in exchange for a percent of the revenue from fines. Discussion ensued. Mayor
Wray requested that a resolution to approve this request be on the next Board Meeting agenda.
SNOW AND ICE AGREEMENT - The Board reviewed a snow and ice agreement with the
State. The Village receives payment from the State to plow and salt State roads located in
Sleepy Hollow. Discussion ensued. Mayor Wray requested that a resolution to approve this
request be on the next Board Meeting agenda.
CODE REVISIONS - Janet Gandolfo outlined proposed changes and updates to the code.
Most of the changes relate to items in the code that are now obsolete, such as constables.
Discussion ensued.
SALARY INCREASE FOR COURT OFFICER - The Board reviewed a request made by
Judge Andres Valdespino to increase the Court Officer's hourly rate of pay. The funds are
available in the operating budget. Mayor Wray requested that a resolution to approve this
request be on the next Board Meeting agenda.
HALLOWEEN EVENTS - Trustee Campbell, Bill Hammer and Chamber of Commerce
President Terry McGlynn updated the Board on the plans for Halloween. The Village and
Chamber of Commerce are working together to try and capitalize on the many tourists that come
to Sleepy Hollow in October.
At 8:50 p.m. the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted.

Anthony Ciigc^io, Village Administrator

joint Tarry town/Sleepy Hollow committee formed to establish a Public Access Television
Station. Bruce Campbell, Barbara Carr, James West, Dean Galley and Robert Hoyt represented

senior citizen property tax exemption. Seniors with an income of less than $29,000, the
reduction could be as much as 50 percent. The reduction goes up or down in 5-percent
increments depending on income. Seniors whose income exceeds $37,400 are not eligible for
the discount. Last year 29 seniors qualified for the program resulting in a $44,000 tax loss for the
village. This year 26 seniors are expected to qualify.

�CODE REVISIONS- Village Attorney, Janet Gandolfo updated the Board on the code revision
project. Department heads are meeting with Ms. Gandolfo to bring the Village code up to date.

violations. The Court has experienced an increase in cases related to building code violations and fines.
The next Court date is September 23.

on standby. The Department responded to numerous calls for assistance with flooded
basements. Chief Korzelius expressed concern about people walking along the waterfront,

everyone, other departments and Village Officials for their help and support, and strongly
advised the public to stay away from the waterfront during storms.

were 8 large trees that came down and numerous others were damaged. He stated that
despite power outages, which were mostly restored by Wednesday evening, there was
minimal damage in the Village. He also stated that leafs left on the road end up in the storm
drains which cause back up and flooding. He thanked the residents for staying off the roads,

no water. Mr. Gross stated that the Town of Greenburg gave the Village several million
gallons of water.

begun.

recent imposed 2% tax levy and asked if the Board was going to challenge the State's ability
to enact this cap.

was unlikely to succeed. Discussion ensued.
