�ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
(2/3/15)
1) Emergency Preparedness Meeting: Prior to last week's storm, an emergency
preparedness meeting was held with Village Department heads at Village Hall.
Mayor Wray was also in attendance. The group also participated in a
conference call with Con Edison in case any outages occur. Although the
blizzard was not what was expected, we were prepared for the worst.
2) Sykes Park Architect: The village has received three proposals from
architects for the Sykes Park comfort station project. Mondana Rezania of
Ossining, New York was the lowest bidder. I am recommending the Board to
hire Ms. Rezania at the next Board meeting.
3) Water Tank Grant Seminar: Fiona Hodgson and I attended a grant seminar in
Long Island last week. Attendance at the seminar is required in order to recieve
the water tank grant that the Village was recently awarded.
4) Budget: The Department Heads are in the process of submitting their budget
requests. Sara DiGiacomo and I will meet with the department heads to review
their requests.
5) Auditor's Report: We are scheduling the auditors to give a financial report at a
future work session.
6) Tarrytown Shared Services Meeting: Another shared services meeting was
held with Tarrytown. The purpose of the meeting is to try and determine ways in
which Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown can share recreational services.
7) Shared Services Initiative: I met with officials from 6 other villages to continue
our discussion on how to share services. I left on your desk an example of a
shared service initiative.
8) Part-time After School Counselor: There is an opening for an after-school
counselor. The person must be available to work five days a week from 2-6.
All interested applicants can call me at 914-366-5105.
