Mayor's Announcements Mayor Zegarelli introduced Peter Fiumefreddo who is the Commander of the Hawthorne Post 112 and
State of New York Medal of Honor Chairman. Mr. Fiumefreddo presented to the Board a request to have
the Westchester County Armed Forces Day Parade in Sleepy Hollow on Saturday, May 16, 2009, at 1:00
p.m. beginning on Beekman Avenue and ending at Horan's Landing on River Street with the laying of a
wreath. He gave background on the Armed Forces Day Parade. The parade will include bands,
Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, Disabled Veterans, etc. His site committee would like to
have a Village representative as part of its committee. Trustee Capossela advised that he would like to
be a liaison between the Village Board and the Committee. Discussion ensued relating to the length of
the parade and parade route. Trustee Capossela suggested to Mr. Fiumefreddo to get together with
Anthony Giaccio and Chick Galella to ride the route to get an idea of how long a walk it is. The Mayor
advised that Sleepy Hollow is a community that likes to host parades and feels that if leg work is done in
advance he is sure it will be a great success. Mr. Fiumefreddo reminded the Board that relating to the
parade that the basic shots will be called by the Board. It was agreed to go forward and meet as earlier
suggested by Trustee Capossela.
Public Comments Rachel Hansen and others presented to the Village Board, through the Village Clerk, petitions which had
been circulated throughout the Webber Park area to ask for help in cleaning up the Douglas Park
playground which is located at the end of New Broadway, (see attached) The Mayor thanked them for
coming. The Mayor told them that over the last many months and almost a year at least, we have
talked about finding the money from a capital project to redo the playground. He advised that they are
thinking about moving the playground closer to the street. The Mayor advised that the park has not
been condemned and in the past ten years new equipment has been installed. Issues are being
addressed relating to the playground. Trustee Capossela advised that this matter was discussed in his
committee meeting a couple of weeks ago and that the General Foreman has this on his radar.
Trustee Schroedel advised that the Board is looking at breaking off the Parks people from the DPW to
focus more on the Village parks.
Margers Pinnis of 148 New Broadway addressed the Board reminding them that he had sent a letter to
them relating to traffic problems on New Broadway. This was in reaction to a proposal to put stop signs
on New Broadway. He feels that there are underlying problems to be addressed first. On the weekends
there are a large number of individual cars and heavier truck and bus traffic and tractor trailers that
mistakenly travel up New Broadway thinking they are continuing on Route 9. This has been a problem
for many years. He would like to see minimal changes to the sidewalks and landscaping that could
make that entrance much less inviting to people who are wanting to travel north on North Broadway.
He thinks that before stop signs or speed bumps, work on the underlying problem. The Board may want
to consider reducing the speed limit to 25 mph on that street.
Mayor Zegarelli advised that in conjunction with the application of Grotto Plumbing, Mr. McCarthy has
been sketching out some changes that will address your first part of the overall solution of getting that
project done. He addressed the suggestion of reducing the speed on the street.
Trustee Wray responded that some things Mr. Pinnis suggested or requested or would like to see have
been discussed more than once including what the Mayor alluded to from Mr. McCarthy—essentially
2

�pushing out the sidewalk, putting in plants and making it much more obvious that you do not go straight
ahead. Trustee Wray said that other members of the neighborhood have come to the Board to speak to
them about the actual speeding on New Broadway. There is a real concern in addition to the people
who get lost or who don't make the right turn that others who know exactly where they are going are
speeding down the street and have requested that we do something about that. That is why he asked
to have a public hearing on installing stop signs and speed bumps. Tonight well be setting a public
hearing by resolution. He urged Mr. Pinnis and others to come to the public hearing and voice their
opinions. The Board needs their input.
Mr. Jeremy Zifchock of 15 Pine Street asked when was the last time a DOT traffic study was done?
Trustee Capossela responded that about 3 years ago Chief Warren did do a speed study, he believes,
basically in between Rice Avenue and Maple Street using a device like a cable that goes across the road
that you run over and then as you run over it about 150 feet away it records the street. Chief reported
back to them that he had his data showing that so many cars ran over the device and showed only a
minor percent were speeding. Trustee Capossela agreed with Mark and Ken that speed is definitely an
issue on New Broadway regardless of the study. They need to slow down the speeding on New
Broadway as well as keep the trucks and 18 wheelers and buses from going down New Broadway.
Trustee Wompa brought up that when people see the cable going across the road, they are going to
slow down. Discussion ensued. Trustee Wray also responded that there are two different views that are
not incompatible: those who are lost and then the people going too fast. Both need to be addressed.
He asked Mr. Ponzini to clarify, but on a Village street, we can have a public hearing and install a stop
sign and at the intersection of Route 9 it involves the state and there is a different process. One is
quicker to do if we choose to do and the other involves approval beyond our level.
Mr. Ponzini advised that we would need to contact the state DOT and tell them what we want to do and
they will send a letter and sign off on it. On a Village road, just by Municipal Home Rule, you can adopt
a local law and regulate it.
Trustee Reports Trustee Schroedel reported that the Finance Committee met last week to discuss our current and future
bond obligations in preparation for where we are going and a financial analysis of big projects coming
up; the senior center, as well as GM and other potential expenses the Village is facing. We also continue
to monitor the expenditures and revenue seems to be tracking last year's rate. In the second half of the
fiscal year, tax revenues are likely to shrink and we may be looking to revisit our budget in three
months.
Trustee Capossela reminded that loose leaves can be placed at the curb for pick up. Clean up from last
weekend's Nor'easter is on going. Reminder to all residents that any downed trees that fall on their
property very well may have live power lines mixed in and to call Village Hall Monday through Friday;
after hours call the Sleepy Hollow Police Department. Do not attempt to remove any downed trees
before DPW personnel check it. Flooded roads may present unknown dangers; do not walk through or
attempt to drive through flooded roadways-open manholes may exist. Tree trimming and removal is
ongoing throughout the village. The stairway at the end of Millard that goes down to Philipse Manor
train station is due to be re-open on Tuesday, November 4th. Additional work will continue but access
will be open. On Election Day as well as Veteran's Day the DPW will not be working; will be on a holiday
schedule for sanitation for the first two weeks of November.
Trustee Capossela reported for the Recreation Department that the Haunted Hayride was last weekend.
Unfortunately, had a rough night on Saturday and will get a full report back from the public and Finance
3

�Committee. The Lighthouse tours continue until Sunday, November 9 , and Mr. Capossela thanked Mr.
Richard Miller for a fine job of tours.
Trustee DeMilia-Powers reported that the Administration Committee met to discuss some personnel
issues and to discuss the ongoing overhaul of the employee handbook. They will be meeting tomorrow
evening with an outside HR company to overhaul the handbook which is definitely needed.
Trustee DeMilia-Powers reported that Sean, Karin and she went to the recent senior meeting to present
the plans for the senior center on Elm Street and talked to a lot of them. Ms. DeMilia-Powers reported
that they had a good interchange between Sean's exhaustive knowledge of the process and Karin and
her input into where going with the project and how fast.
Trustee Grala reported that the senior housing ribbon cutting ceremony for tomorrow at 11:30 a.m.
Trustee Grala reported that the Communications Committee continues to meet and upgrade the website
and hopefully add more of the meetings on to the internet.
Trustee Grala reported that Daphne asked her to remind the viewers that all cable digital boxes have
volume control which usually comes to the home on a low level. The boxes go up to a minimum audio
level of 30. Viewers should place their boxes to maximum audio levels and their television should be set
just above mid-way. The audio will then be crystal clear and above satisfactory for all.
Trustee Worn pa - no report.
Trustee Wray reported that the Public Safety Committee met with Chief Warren on October 16th. They
discussed preparations for Halloween for this Friday and the number of officers on duty and the
assignments for various officers throughout the Village. Also discussed the shortage of police officers
currently on the force and to make sure that the Clerk had requested the lists to look at interviewing
new prospective candidates for vacancies and possible promotions in the department. Discussed some
other personnel issues as well.
Trustee Wray read letters from the Sleepy Hollow Ambulance Corps, (see attached).
Administrator's Report Administrator Giaccio reported a meeting with the insurance company relating to Division Street working
to recoup the losses.
Mr. Giaccio reported he is working on dealing with the tree issue on Francis Street. The contractor has
issues with the sidewalks as to whether or not to remove the two trees. The Tree Commission and DPW
are trying to determine what to do. Chances are that may have to remove the trees. Discussion
ensued.
Mr. Giaccio advised that he attended the Haunted Hayride on Friday night and thought it was great. He
thinks there are some areas to improve in the gymnasium. A financial statement is being prepared for
the Finance Committee. He will also be making some recommendations for next year.
Resolutions - See attached.
Old Business - Trustee DeMilia-Powers brought up that she had asked Sean about Kendal Avenue
Extension and its safety of being a one way street but everyone using it as a two-way street. She asked
4

�Sean that in his memo it says that the extension prohibited parking on the extension, but there are 5
spaces on that street. Mr. McCarthy advised that in 1971 the Board adopted parking. Trustee DeMiliaPowers advised that after that there never was anything to change that prohibition. Mr. McCarthy
advised that he did not find anything to change that prohibition. Discussion ensued.
Trustee DeMilia-Powers then addressed Mr. McCarthy about the Theresa Street question. From Mr.
McCarthy's report there has been no request to close the road from the Chief of Police within the past 10
years. Attorney Ponzini advises that any road that is not closed for ten years would be dedicated by
public use. Trustee DeMilia-Powers asked Attorney Ponzini how we get back the spaces back from the
Van Tassel and he advised that we have them back. The Mayor asked Attorney Ponzini to draft a letter.
Mayor's Report Mayor advised receipt of a bill from the Neighborhood House for $90.00 for flu shots which is our portion
for our seniors. Diane Jacobson advised that we did not agree to that for last year; the seniors are
covered by Medicare. The Mayor asked Trustee DeMilia-Powers to review.
For the record, the Mayor advised that we are in receipt of the signed off application grant by Judge
Herbert in the GM matter.
New Business Trustee DeMilia-Powers brought up a letter from Joseph DePalma wherein he advised that he hit a curb
on Beekman Avenue across from Village Hall where the tree roots and curb stick out and damaged his
tires. He is looking to be reimbursed. This incident occurred in February of this year. Trustee DeMiliaPowers asked what the policy is on this kind of incident. Discussion ensued. Mr. McCarthy was asked
to find out when the parking space was changed to a fire zone/no parking area.
Communications, Petitions &amp; Request Village Clerk advised that there will be a Phelps Memorial Blood Drive on Saturday, November 8th,
between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. in Village Hall sponsored by the Fire Department and Village Hall.
Public Comment
Mr. Margers Pinnis of 148 New Broadway advised that in Douglas Park there is a large tree blocking one
of the paths. It is the path that leads down the hill and parallels the Pocantico River. Richard Gross has
been asked to check into the situation.
Moved by Trustee Wray to adjourn, seconded by Trustee Schroedel. Carried.
Respectfully submitted,

SonjayGoldstein-Suss

ULLAGE CLERIC

I am here to present the village board with a petition, that has been circulated
thru out the Webber Park Area - to Ask the Board, and the Parks
Department, for help in cleaning up the Douglas Park Playground; Located
at the end of New Broadway, in Sleepy Hollow.
The petition was inspired by a visit to the new Barnhart Park, last week.
While I was there, with my children and Mends, I watched employees
inspecting the equipment for flaws. Impressed by this, I asked them who
oversees the care of Douglas Park. And, they said. "We do".
Anyone who visits Douglas Park will find obvious Neglect of the
equipment. Defining Neglect:
Exposed nails
Broken wood surfaces
Slippery mildew on wood and plastic surfaces
Carpenter bees nesting in the wood of the playground
equipment
Poison ivy
Glass
This has led to disuse by most of the Webber park residents with children.
More than one person, who I spoke with, actually thought the playground
was condemned. When we do visit the park we find teenagers smoking and
drinking with beer bottles littered in the sand, sad that they have to cut their
party short.
With a rumor of being "Condemned", the village should consider either
restoring the playground or removing it before one of our children becomes
injured and a lawsuit surfaces. A real lawsuit would cost the village, and the
confidence of the village government could be in question.
An answer to the neglect would be to address the issue of making the
playground safe.
I would like to personally, and behalf of the Webber park residents, ask the
Board members to consider this park and make it part of their 2009 budget
for clean up.

appropriate voucher, on a weekly basis for approval. Failure to do so in a
timely manner is subject to review by the employee's respective Department
Head, and if need be, by the Mayor and Board of Trustees.

be filed with their tax return.
On those occasions when a Village vehicle or a reimbursed employee is
required to travel on official business that requires overnight travel,
permission must be granted in advance by the employee's respective
Department Head, or if unavailable, the Village Administrator.
