Present: Mayor Kenneth G. Wray Thomas Capossela David L. Schroedel Karin T. Wompa Barbara J. Can* Bruce R. Campbell Evelyn R. Stupel Trustees Also Present: Anthony Giaccio, Village Administrator Janet Gandolfo, Village Attorney Sean McCarthy, Village Architect Rich Gross, General Foreman Robin Pell, Recreation Supervisor John Kapica, Police Chief Mayor Wray called the work session to order at 7:00 p.m. WATER SYSTEM - Engineer Dolph Rotfeld brought the Board up to date on New York City's plans to shut down the Catskill Aqueduct for repairs, which currently is the only source of water for the village. The Village had been informed that the Catskill Aqueduct would be shut down periodically starting in October and that the Croton Aqueduct would also be shut down during this time. After complaints from the Village, New York City has now agreed to delay the Catskill Aqueduct shut downs until April, 2011, By then the Croton Aqueduct will be on line. Mr. Rotfeld recommended that the Village continue with its plans to connect with the Delaware Aqueduct system as a backup water source. FIRE APPARATUS - Fire Chief John Korzelius was in attendance to discuss the purchase of a new fire apparatus. Chief Korzelius submitted a memo addressed to the Village Administrator and Public Safety Committee (attached) outlining the procedure for purchasing a new apparatus and estimated costs. Discussion ensued. ROUTE 9 SIDEWALKS - Suzette Lopane from the Westchester County Planning Department made a presentation on the Route 9 Streetscape Project. The Project calls for the replacement of sidewalks, along Route 9 from the animal hospital to Tarrytown, There will also be new pedestrian lights, trees and signage. The Project is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2011. �HAUNTED HAYRIDE - There was a debate over whether or not to have the Haunted Hayride. Trustee Scliroedel said that the Haunted Hayride had not been budgeted for this year, because in the past it had been such a large expense for the village. Trustee Bruce Campbell feels there should be a hayride because it showcases the Village and brings in a lot of publicity. Trustee Bruce Campbell said that in the past the event cost taxpayer dollars, but thought that it could break even this year with sponsors and higher ticket prices. Village Administrator Anthony Giaccio has received many calls inquiring about sponsoring the event. The school district is also considering helping fund the hayride, and the village is looking to get more volunteers to reduce costs. Brian Doyle from the Chamber of Commerce spoke in favor of the event. Trustee David Schroedel said that he does not believe that tax payers should be paying for this event and that the Village is not equipped to run this event successfully. Trustee Schroedel said that the Teamster Union had objected to the village running an event that wasn't staffed by village employees, thus increasing overtime and manpower costs. Trustee Karin Wompa questioned the numbers presented to trustees which showed that the hayride could break even this year. In previous years, there has been no accounting of how the event has been run, and merchandise has gone missing, making it difficult to estimate revenues. Trustee Evelyn Stupel also wondered where the accountability was and wanted to see all of the statistics about the hayride. RECREATION REPORT - Recreation Supervisor Robin Pell gave a recreation report. Ms. Pell said that the David Lee Sports Camp was very successful. Other sports camps including lacrosse, soccer and baseball were also successful. The Lighthouse tours will continue until the end of October. Due to the increase in children attending the after-school program, there is a need for additional staff. BLOCK PARTY REQUEST - The Board reviewed a request made by Rose Mary Frycek to have a block party on Farrington Avenue on Sunday, October 2, 2010 from 4:00pm to 10:00pm PROCESSION EVENT - The Board discussed a request made by the Ecuadorian Community to have a religious procession along Beekman Ave and Cortlandt Street.
