�ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
(9/27/16)
DURACELL CLEAN-UP PROJECT: AECOM is remobilizing for the Duracell clean-up project.
This year they will be working on 3 of the remaining 5 properties. AECOM has remediated
close to 100 properties over the last four years.
BEEKMAN AVENUE SIDEWALK GRANT: Beekman Avenue is going to get a facelift. The
Village has been awarded a New York State Department of Transportation grant in the amount
of $486,000 to be used for new sidewalks on Beekman Avenue. Earlier in the year the Village
was awarded a Community Development Block Grant for street lights on Beekman Avenue and
Edge on Hudson is required to pay to repave Beekman Avenue after the finish trucking in fill.
BIDS: Bids are being solicited for the 10 muni meters. The bid opening will be on October 21.
Alos, out to bid is the ladder truck. The bid opening for the ladder truck is November 14, which
will give us enough time to have the apparatus delivered in time for the February 2018 grant
deadline.
OKTOBERFEST: Oktoberfest was another huge success. Thank you to the Oktoberfest
committee, which included Susan MacFarlane, Alex MacFarlane, Jennifer Lobato-Church and
Peter Foul-Haber. The weather was great and we had a large turnout.
HALLOWEEN EVENTS: We have been advertising the upcoming Halloween events on
visitsleepyhollow.com, through our Halloween brochure and through the Village Newsletter.
Hayride tickets have gone on sale, and based on the early response, we expect another successful
Halloween season.
ARBOR DAY: Arbor Day has been scheduled. It will take place on November 4 sometime
around 4:00. Thank you to the Tree Committee for planning this event each year.
PARKING AND TRAFFIC PROBLEMS: The Police have been addressing both parking and
traffic concerns related to work going on on the train tracks. I know that both Metro North and
Judlau, the private contractor have been issued tickets because they have been complaint to me
about them. We are allowing the them to park their vehicles at Kingsland Point Park during the
week, since not too many people go to the park during the week. These efforts seem to be
improving things.
VILLAGE HALL IMPROVEMENTS: Thank you to the DPW for the work they've done to
beatify the entrance to Village Hall. The goal is to have the work donw in time for the Fire
Department's inspection event, which will be held on October 8.
