Present: Mayor Kenneth G. Wray Deputy Mayor Jennifer Lobato-Church Glenn Rosenbloom Denise Scaglione Karin Wompa Dorothy Handelman Trustees John Leavy Also Present: (Absent) Anthony Giaccio, Village Administrator Anna L Georgiou, Acting Village Attorney Sean McCarthy, Village Architect Rich Gross, General Foreman Greg Camp, Police Chief David Smith, Planning Consultant Mayor Wray called the work session to order at 7:00pm. MAYOR'S ANNOUNCEMENTS - Mayor Wray mentioned that he will be removing a discussion regarding water rates from the agenda. He also announced that the deadline to give toys to "Toys for Tots" is December 18. PUBLIC HEARING - A public hearing was held on a special permit requested by Tappan Zee Constructors. Mr. Giaccio read the public hearing notice. Carla Julian and Clyde Joseph represented Tappan Zee Constructors. Ms. Julian said that discussions with the executive board for Ichabod's Landing are going well and believes that they will support the project. Mr. Joseph gave an overview of the project. Tappan Zee Constructors would like permission to park up to 375 vehicles on the Edge on Hudson property. The request also includes the construction of a floating dock that will be used to transport workers out to the bridge. Mayor Wray solicited comments from the Board. Trustee Handelman asked if the hours of operation could be modified. Mr. Joseph responded by saying no. Trustee Wompa believes that the project may conflict with the Edge-on-Hudson special permit and would like a traffic study to be done. �Deputy Mayor Lobato-Church is not sure that this is a positive project, but does not feel it violates the current special permit for Edge-on-Hudson. She would like more information provided by the Village's consultants regarding noise, traffic, lighting etc. before a decision is made. Mr. Joseph responded. Trustee Rosenbloom shares the concerns of the Board and said that he has not heard a compelling reason to approve the project. Peter Johnson of Edge on Hudson spoke. Mr. Johnson said that when General Motors was operating, there were many more cars parked on the site. He also said that a traffic study done by General Motors estimated that there would be 400 vehicles entering and exiting the site. This is less than the number that Tappan Zee Constructors is requesting. Discussion ensued. Mayor Wray said that the advantage to this project is that it will take truck traffic off the streets because the second phase will include fill brought in by barge. He announced that there will be a rock crushing demonstration on the East Parcel on December 16,2015. Alan Garry is a resident of Ichabod's Landing. He asked why Edge-on-Hudson is not the applicant. He asked what affect will this request have on the overall all Edge-on-Hudson project. Deputy Mayor Lobato-Church and asked for a timeline of both projects to determine whether or not they conflict with each other. Mayor Wray acknowledged receipt of an e-mail from Tarrytown Village Administrator, Mike Blau which will be entered into the record. Motion was made by Trustee Hendelman, seconded by Trustee Scaglione to adjourn the public hearing until 7:00pm on December 22,2015. LEUKEMIA LYMPHOMA SOCIETY REQUEST - Dennis Chillemi addressed the Board. Mr. Chillemi is the executive director of the Westchester Leukemia Lymphoma Society (LLS). LLS would like to hold a "Light the Night" event along the riverfront. The event will take place on November 5,2016 and will start at Kingsland Point Park. The Board was generally in favor of this event, but requested more details regarding the logistics. AECOM PRESENTATION - Mike Doherty of AECOM addressed the Board. Mr. Doherty provided an update on the Duracell clean-up project. The project is completed for the year and is almost entirely completed. Only five more properties need to be remediated. The five property owners have not consented to the clean-up and so AECOM has asked the Village to encourage them to have their property remediated in order to close out the project. �ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT - Bhayva Reddy addressed the Board. Ms. Reddy is the Chairwoman of the Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC). Ms. Reddy updated the Board on the various initiatives that the EAC has been working on. The EAC has been involved in the annual clean-up day and has worked with Tarrytown's environmental committee on other events. The EAC has been promoting "complete streets", a natural resource inventory and being a climate smart community. Ms. Reddy asked Mayor Wray if he could appoint a Village Trustee to act as a liaison to the EAC. Trustee Rosenbloom volunteered for this position. Mayor Wray recognized Trustee Rosenbloom as the EAC liaison. EAST PARCEL SCOPING SESSION - Planning consultant, David Smith addressed the Board. Mr. Smith is working for the Sleepy Hollow Local Development Corporation on plans to redevelop the east parcel. The SEQRA process has been started and as part of this process, there needs to be a public scoping session. Mr. Smith announced to the Board that the scoping session for the East Parcel is scheduled for December 21, 2015 at 7:00pm in Village Hall. All residents are encourage to attend and make comments. EDGE ON HUDSON REQUEST TO THE MT. PLEASANT INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY - Mayor Wray started the discussion. Edge-on-Hudson has made a request to the Mt. Pleasant Industrial Development Agency (IDA) for tax relief. The Village Board is extremely concerned that the IDA will approve this request potentially reducing property tax revenue. Village Board members, along with School Board members are planning on attending the IDA public hearing scheduled on December 21,2015 to object to this request. EXECUTIVE SESSION On a motion made by Deputy Mayor Lobato-Church and seconded by Trustee Handelman and carried unanimously the Board moved into executive session to seek advice from counsel.

SPECIAL SESSION On a motion made by Deputy Mayor Lobato-Church and seconded by Trustee Handelman and carried unanimously the Board moved into special session. Motion was made by Deputy Mayor Lobato-Church and seconded by Trustee Rosenbloom to retain Proskauer Rose LLP as special counsel to the Village. On a motion made by Deputy Mayor Lobato-Church and seconded by Trustee Handelman and carried unanimously the Board moved out of special session. �ON-STREET P A R K I N G P E R M I T - Mr. Giaccio started the discussion on establishing an onstreet parking permit system in the Village. The Village Board feels that in certain areas of the Village, commuters are monopolizing parking spaces that would normally be used by residents. The Board feels the permit parking would remedy this situation. In order to issue permits for onstreet parking, the Village Board has to make a home rule request to the N e w York State Legislature. The Village must justify the request and so the Board asked Mr. Giaccio to begin the process of preparing something for the State legislature. Mr. Giaccio will reach out to Assemblyman Abinanti's office for guidance. N O R T H E A S T R E C R E A T I O N A G R E E M E N T - Mr. Giaccio provided the Board with a draft inter-agency agreement with Northeast Recreation. Mr. Giaccio said the agreement is for Northeast Recreation to provide recreational services for Sleepy Hollow residents with special needs. Northeast Recreation is a non-profit agency consortium that receives part of its funding from 12 municipalities including Sleepy Holow. Funds are used to provide recreational services that the Village's recreation department does not have the resource to handle. E X E C U T I V E SESSION On a motion made by Deputy Mayor Lobato-Church and seconded by Trustee Scaglione and carried unanimously the Board moved into executive session to discuss legal and personnel matters. On a motion made by Trustee Rosenbloom and seconded by Trustee Handelman and carried unanimously the Board moved out of executive session. At 10:30, the work session was adjourned.
