2012, Village Hall, 28 Beekman Avenue, Sleepy Hollow, New York.
Present:

Mayor Kenneth G. Wray
Deputy Mayor Thomas Capossela
David Schroedel
Barbara Carr rieft at 7:45pm')
Bruce Campbell
Karin Wompa
Evelyn Stupel, Trustees

Also Present: Anthony P. Giaccio, Village Administrator
Paula A. McCarthy, Village Clerk
Sara A. DiGiacomo, Village Treasurer
Janet Gandolfo, Village Counsel
Richard Gross, Village General Foreman
Sean E. McCarthy, Village Building Inspector
Gregory Camp, Police Chief
David Smith, Planning Consultant
At 7:07 p.m. the Mayor called the meeting to order with a pledge to the flag.
Mayor asked for a moment of silence in memory of Patricia Spota, a longtime resident of the
Village and wife of former Trustee Spota.
Public Hearing Code Revisions:
Village Clerk read the public hearing notice aloud for the record.
Deputy Mayor Capossela stated that garbage is being put out on holidays and it looks
terrible.
Village Attorney, Janet Gandolfo said the Building and Police Departments have the authority
to issue tickets for garbage being put out on the wrong days.
Discussion ensued.
At this time, there were no further comments from the public.
On a motion by Trustee Schroedel, seconded by Trustee Wompa the public hearing meeting
was closed.
Mayor stated that we will continue to have discussions about the Code Revision and will take
all comments into consideration. There will be another public hearing in the future before
the final approval.
At this time, the Mayor introduced David Smith, Village Planning Consultant to make a
presentation to the Board about the Village's Water System.

�Mr. Smith discussed alternatives such as building a second water tank at Phelps Memorial
Hospital, costing approximately $4.8 million; this does not include the repairs and upkeeps of
the current tank. Another alternative would be to build a new tank within the current tank,
costing approximately $2,329 million; the NYS Parks Dept. considered this alternative a visual
intrusion.
Moving on to another alternative would be to excavate down to bury a new tank, costing
approximately $5.1 million, and despite it being the most expensive option it is the most
likely, given that it stays entirely within the confines of the existing easement.
A new tank on Kykuit property off County House Road is another alternative that was
originally considered as part of the FEIS document, costing approximately $2.8 million; this
has not been approved by the landowner. The last alternative presented was to build a new
tank approximately 200 feet west of the existing tank, inside the Rockefeller State Park
Preserve, costing an estimated $2.1 million; this is not a favorable option by the Parks Dept.
either. The Village Board asked for further clarification as to the eventual maintenance costs
that will ultimately be needed for the existing reservoir. Discussion ensued.
Mayor stated that there is enormous work to be done and urged the Board to make a motion
for a resolution to call for a public hearing.
