Also Present: Anthony Giaccio, Village Administrator

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.
