Mayor Wray called the work session to order at 7:15 p.m.
PUBLIC ACCESS TELEVISION PRESENTATION - There was a presentation made by a
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
the Committee. Currently both Villages have a government and education channel, but no
public access. Combining the two Village's will allow for the opportunity to share limited
resources. Attached is a summary of the presentation.
LIBRARY BOARD PRESENTATION - Members of the Warner Library Board and staff
made a presentation on the library and the programs that are offered to both Sleepy Hollow and
Tarrytown. The presentation was in response to recent discussions over library funding.
Discussion ensured.
SENIOR CITIZEN TAX EXEMPTION - Tax Assessor Fred Gross updated the board on the
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.
Many local laws are outdated and obsolete. The Village Board will have to vote on any changes
made to the code. When completed, this project will enable residents to access the code on-line.
See attached report.
ICHABOD'S LANDING MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT-Village Attorney, Janet
Gandolfo intbrmed the Board that an agreement has been reached with Ichabod's Landing
regarding maintenance of the River Walk. Ichabod's will contribute $5,000 per year to pay a
private landscaper. In addition. Ichabod's will repay $20,000 owed from the previous four years.
At 8:50 p.m. the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted.
